Mother’s Day brings joy to most women as they get to be celebrated by their children for their love, care and support. However, not all women look up to the day especially those who have still not been able to bear a child.

Listen to articleThis was clearly a minor case of indecent gossip that ought not to have made the headline news. But for obvious reasons of increased Google.com hits, at least one major Ghanaian media portal chose to run with it. When it was posted / published, it was captioned “Kufuor, Addo Kufuor Slam NPP Woman for Peddling Falsehood about Them” (Ghanaweb.com 4/12/21). It was clearly not worth a direct response by perhaps the two most powerful octogenarian sibling political titans of Fourth-Republican Ghana. So, I strongly suspect that Esther Nana Agyemang, the woman who allegedly made such patently pedestrian claim, had a modicum of truth to her tale.
