I don't really care about the banter between you and Lydia, neither do I care about what somebody wear at a particular occasion. Dress codes is not of much issue in advanced countries like the US, The U.K, Germany,.....where the main focus is to use the HEAD to do great things for the benefit of humanity. As far as I know, dress code - vis a vis morality -- is always a big issue in poor countries like ours where the HEAD is mostly used to carry LOADS and nothing else. We hypocritically talk of the dress codes and moral conduct of the collective few young ladies who have achieved prominence, and are using their HEADS, their brains, to better their lives when at the same time we watch police officers defeating in gutters in our cities and beaches along the coastal belt.

Ahh, ohh Mr. Mannase, pls what is this waste of time on a woman who does want to have her lifestyle shaped by biblical principles, ethics and practices or a low standard of societal morals - common sense.
The time u spent on this piece, could have been used to investigate a ministry, department or any of the district assemblies. Which would help throw more light into ghana's dark spot.
Your reply to this lady makes her a kind of hero. Given her the guts to believe she has arrived in today's Ghana.
She has taken on archbishop Duncan Williams to the laundry. Even the president as well. Politically speaking I do agree with the archbishop but not when he takes the pulpit. If the president is performing poorly, you who is yet to show Ghanaians what she has achieve cannot describe the president the way she did.
In conclusion I have come to believe
1) she has unresolved issues with men, therefore decided to become a hater of men. Eg. If you dad was not responsible it does not mean all men are irresponsible.
2) If she is a practising lesbian she should feel free and make it an open fact. Because if she is, she's got the guts to tell the 27million Ghanaians without fear. Then we come to know her properly as who she is.
3) If she is a hater of religious folks, she tell Ghanaians that an an atheist. Who cares.
I will limit myself to these 3. Because most positions that she takes are undermined by scriptures (biblical or quoran and even traditional) and common sense.
Mr. Mannesse, Ghana needs you to focus on more and better matters which is weighty and shapes the destiny of many.
God bless you. Mr. Mannasse.

Very shallow observation! So what if someone holds positions against the bible and quoran? Yes she may hold the minority view on all issues but does it make the majority view right? You can claim popularity but right? Certainly not.
I am even more baffled by the writer's feeble attempt to dare into the philosophical on the question on moral relativity - I'll advice him to stay off.
But again for you, be informed that in any sphere of human endeavour today the so called 'right' or rather popular views were held and championed by people on the margins or fringes. People were castigated and demonised just by their courage to hold such 'abominable' positions. The world has moved on but you need to be thankful to the likes of Lydia. There is hope for Ghana with their like around. Celebrate her courage in the face of Ghanaian's hypocricy and timidity.

you have overlooked the import of Mannasseh's article. I suggest you read it again and identify the key point he makes and that is women are not objects of arts. The issue of morality is only secondary!

Manasseh Azure Awuni, seems to us Ms. Forson also has a point!
Looks like you are acting as if you are the arbiter of morality, that other people have "lame-minded views", the same you still stand behind.
How much did the original case concern you?
Of what importance is all of that to Ghana, compared to unfinished "GYEEDA", if you are not attempting to be the "religious police", or, should we say "journalistic police"?
This is you, Manasseh Azure Awuni, in:
Feature Article of Saturday, 28 March 2009
Columnist: Manasseh Azure Awuni A Title: Letter To My Future Wife: Why guys dump girls!
READ:
"My Sweetheart,
Thank you very much for accepting my plea to tone down on your make-up. I’m particularly happy you have removed all your artificial nails, eye lashes and have retained the natural beauty God gave you. I’m extremely happy you wrote to apologise for the harm you might have caused me..."
Tell us, Manasseh Azure Awuni, how does a lady's "artificial nails, eye lashes", even if she is truly "your future wife", let alone your current wife, how do all of that potentially cause harm to you, a grown man?
Tell us.
Tell us how might have been "harmed", if not as a way to attempt to wield "authority" on your so-called "future wife".
Should the world revolve around you?
So, yesterday, it was "artificial nails, eye lashes".
Today, it is exposed "sides".
Tell us what it will be tomorrow.
As for the differences between "man" and animals, and "morality", you may want to leave that alone.
After all, animals, we all know, do not set up businesses to earn income to feed, clothe, and educate their children and childrens' children, including those long abandoned by their "fathers".
'Nuff to the critical mind!

As a country, we've missed the basics or foundation of almost everything. From culture, education to politics. No wonder this 2 writers are spending their time writing on someone who has been made to think that dressing like that is civilization (westernise) ne ni ebue. In regards to morals and comon sense, look at what corruption has done to this country. Schools, housing, hospitals and how we even treat people with disability. Morals and common sense are the last things we should be talking about because we don't have any. A country where every young person is a singer/rapper or actor/actress. Funny people

I think the best she could have done was to send you a private message to get why you sounded like that. If you made a mistake by sounding too harsh, it doesn't mean she should also make a deliberate mistake of sounding very harsh too.
This war of words must stop. The kids in our basic schools need people like you to help them improve the oral and writing skills in English. If you have spare time to fight this battle of words, please pass some to these kids. They'll forever be grateful for your time spent with them.
