When it comes to the northern parts of Ghana, the cultural dynamics take on a whole new dimension. Compared to the south, the environment is different, the languages are different and the lifestyles are definitely different.

The root of every building is its foundation. Anytime you see a mind-blowing edifice, think of a building that has invested a fortune into its foundation. Without a robust foundation, this investment in a building will only be sitting on a time bomb. In just a matter of months, everything will come crumbling down!

Today, marriage has become a battlefield with many casualties. Global studies show that while 60 per cent of all marriages break down, 20 per cent of marriages are lifeless.

This means that if you marry today, you have only a 20 per cent chance that you will have a fulfilling marriage. 

The root of every building is its foundation. Anytime you see a mind-blowing edifice, think of a building that has invested a fortune into its foundation.

Growing up, sex was a theme we never discussed openly, at least not in my home. Like every typical African home, this taboo topic was shrouded in mystery.

Unfortunately, many of us had to learn about such a critical subject from the wrong sources.

As a parent today, I will do better. My children must learn about sex from me first. I must teach them the right things before their friends teach them what is wrong. In a world of diversity, equity and inclusion, I must show them the right path before the media they are exposed to does.
