We are quick to point to the “economy” whenever we notice something worthy of mention, but not that quick to question those behind the economy and influencing it.

The economy is everything, the economy is rebounding, the economy is hard, and so on, are common phrases that I am sure you are very familiar with.
The Akans say women hate four eyes; when two of them are those of a rival. And it hurts. This is because women, unlike men, make anything that is important to them an intimate part of themselves.
Again, unlike men, women see the quality and security of their relationships as the most important emotional need.

The President of the Ghana Stammering Association, Mr Emmanuel Addo, has advised fluent speakers to desist from completing the sentences of people who stammer (PWS) during conversations.
He explained that while fluent communicators may assume they are being helpful, completing the statements of persons who stammer prevents them from fully expressing themselves and being truly heard.
A woman loves to be in a relationship. In fact, many women define their self-esteem by the quality of their relationships.
