Don’t be pressured into financing your girlfriend – Human rights activist advocates
General News of Friday, 27 August 2021Source: 3news.comAccording to human rights activist and lawyer Reno Omokri, a girlfriend’s financial burden remains the sole responsibility of her father and not her boyfriend. Taking to his Twitter page, Reno Omokri shared that it’s foolish for a man to allow himself to be pressured into financing a woman he’s not married to. So no one owes any sort of financial responsibility to the other. “Dear men, When a woman you date tells you she needs money, listen calmly without interrupting. Don’t be pressured into financing a woman you are romancing.

Axim youth issue 7-day ultimatum to chief for ‘lies’ against Catherine Afeku
“Is the Axim Kundum Committee Chairman saying that that monies released within a particular date cannot be used to finance activities on a different date?” the group questioned. We are all witnesses to the recent bad press generated by the Nkosuohene of Lower Axim and chairman of the Axim Kundum Planning Committee, Nana Osei Nkwantabisa. It is important to note that the auditor general report did not accuse any chief of taking money, neither did it accuse any kundum committee chairman of receiving money from the Ministry. In any case, is the Axim Kundum committee chairman saying that monies released within a particular date cannot be used to finance activities on a different date? Strip the Nkosuohene title from him and remove him from the Chairmanship position of the Kundum planning committee.
