Finally, I have seen clips of the Koforidua sex scandal which went viral on social media. It raises concerns that we must address with urgency, as a society; on character, discipline and consent.

Human are sexual beings and we are allowed to indulge but certainly, at the expense of others; degrading and takes advantage of them— and those were exactly what the young man did to his victims when videoed their sex experiences without their consent.

Dear Future Wife, I am not sure if we have met. But if we have, I’m sure you’re smart and beautiful. It is sad the world continues to undervalue you. Maybe things might change.

Maybe things might be different by the time we marry. I hope so. But I understand and appreciate your value. I want you to be a role model to our daughters. I want them to know that a woman can be anything a man can be – independent, ambitious and powerful.

In all my endeavours
I have always been a saviour
In the best of my behaviours
Predicting, only to be of favour
Then I realized it was just labour
So I ask, what have I to offer?

By far I have descended into details. And a greater number of things that have not satisfied me like the rains do the Harmattan.

Maybe, one day I will evince symptoms of patience, and adjust my expectations. I am restless in my movements, often a solitary wanderer in the company of men. By accounts of my resolve, I wish you were bold enough to be yourself, and not change so often that we lost track of who we were, and our place in this world.
