She is pregnant

Dear Obaa Yaa,

A few weeks ago, I reached out to Obaa Yaa, and she promptly addressed my concern, for which I am grateful.

Since then, I have entered into a relation­ship, but my extended period of singlehood led to a lack of control during intimate mo­ments, resulting in the unintended pregnancy of my partner.

As a young man without employment, I am unsure how to provide for both the mother and the unborn child. I’m feeling overwhelmed and confused; can you offer any guidance?

Dear Kelvin,

I AM grateful you took the advice I gave you concerning your issue a few weeks ago and I must say I am happy for your growth.

In your case, I must say, you should try hard and get a job. Having and taking care of children comes with a lot of responsibility of which finances come first.

You must be financially sound so that the child and your home will not lack anything. If you are good at handmade entrepreneurial skills, I would advise you to try your hands on them. Do not be idle.

Sitting idle does not solve a problem. Know that you have a big task in front of you therefore you should face it like a man. Get a job and start saving money towards unfore­seen problems too. Wishing you all the best in life.
