Certainly, I'm not in the Mensah's house to know exactly what goes on. Thus, I'd be cautious not to 'judge' anyone.
A bird whispered in my ear that lately some of our precious women in Ghana have come to believe that marriage is an "act of convenience". That means you come in when you want, and leave when you want (and that only relates to a few of our 21st Century ladies). Well, I wish them well. But if Henrietta should lose the case or not get all she had hoped for, some other ladies would reconsider their positions when getting married to OR deciding to divorce their SPORTS husbands.

This is the only thing I agree with my bitterest enemy NEMESIS. That stinky Yoruba man was right this time. Ghana women are 100% freeloaders.

How will she lose?
Matrimonial laws always favor women, if you don't know.

The report did not say GHC 4000 a month or a week or a day or forever or what?

Public Opinion,which in today`s Ghana,counts for very little!
The is only an interim support order,that is usually set on a monthly basis to maintain the estranged spouse(usually the wife)in the position she has become "accoustomed to".
This is where John Mernsah can literally be taken to the cleaners,if he has been very generous with the Mrs,by showering all the good things on life on her, prior to the brouhaha.
The best option for is to push for a speedy amicable settlement and to avoid the usual 'venom' that accompanies disputes of this nature.
This is certainly a bonanza for the 'palimony' attorneys who have a tendency to stoke the burning 'fires'.

The story never said anything regarding how long the money should last beside it was just a suggestion so I suspect the money will cover the kids and their mom till next Tuesday. Wow.

What we should find out is, were the Mensahs together before the money started rolling in, or did the wife see her chance and grabbed it when John's popularity soared? If the wife is accusing John of infidelity, then on which planet does she think she finds herself The moon? Didn't she know it will come to this? Fellow readers and contributors, we Ghanaians have one big problem which stares us in the face EVERYDAY! We always want to listen to other people's negative stories without thinking for one second that it can happen to us.

What we read in the papers, hear on the radio, and see on TV are real stories which happened to others and that should serve as a white cane to the blind. Mrs Mensah has surely heard of numerous sportsmen including Tiger Woods' marriage fall apart. And as I stated earlier, thought she was superman and is therefore untouchable. Let me please use this opportunity to tell you how those telecom companies make money in this country. GOSSIP! Our women (my wife is a culprit) spend too much airtime talking rubbish and unnecessary stuff about relatives who eat at restaurants instead of at home or, a colleague in the office whose husband brings her takeaway every lunchtime. If I'm wrong, somebody should please write back and disagree. This democracy. but please no insults (lol). How many men in Ghana have not of women cheating on their husbands. They will discuss it among themselves, without thinking for a moment that their wives are human and can be tempted into infidelity. What happened to the blind man's white cane? I'm sorry to say this but love does not exist anymore if we are to always listen to other people's stories and learn lessons from them. We automatically become suspicious of each other. Love is now conditional. No money, no proper love. The genuine love at times comes from women who have either gotten past their prime, are bringing up bastards and need a father for their kids or, is a divorcee who would wish to shame her detractors/enemies and maybe has learned her lesson.

Some of those divorced women were abandoned by their cheating irresponsible and womanizing husbands.Not every divorce is caused by wives,i can't fanthom why Ghanaian men so hate women and every misunderstanding in a relationship is quickly amputated to women.They are our partners and relationship could never be built without them,they can never be like us(men)and efforts must be made to understand them,concessions made if we seriously envisaged a working and lasting relationship.Either we chose being homosexuals and spare the women the agonies or keep our mute and construct a semi comfortable relationship as it always had been.

Men? They have no regard for women. John Mensah is looking for a new girl with thin legs and fresh pussy. Let him pay ten thousand a month to the wowman.

It is advisable at this time that people stop the blame game and instead, pray for this marriage problem to be resolved. Apart from the couple involved, the future of these children is paramount.

When a couple jumps on an issue like this leading to divorce, prayer can't doo hweeeee until they themselves identify the cause and are willing to smoke peace pipe. That's when you can offer prayers for God to grant them the strength to be firm in their decision. But to go on your knees "kabooing" day in day out while they have their eyes elsewhere, is a waste of time.
