Nana Kofi Abuna (V) has chastised women not to be lazy rather they should be responsible and hardworking for the purpose of contributing their quota to support the home.
Speaking at the Business Breakfast Show organised by Newday Television during the International Women's Day celebration at the Raybow International Hotel in Takoradi, The Chief of Essipon in her remark made an assertion that "Women, we should not be lazy. A lot of woman marry and when they get a good husband, they sleep and stay at home. Let me tell you a good husband wants you to support him."
"I want you to know that the job he has, may not be there forever. Maybe a time will come and his salary would be affected just like in this covid era, he may be laid off. What discussions are you going to have with him? she quizzed.
According to her, most women turn out to be indolent after marriage.
She continued to advise "Make use of your hands, learn a trade. Look at our sister here, she said she cried, a lady took her job away from her, with no mercy she took it. Today God didn't leave her, He has raised her. What I want to tell you is that, don't feel downhearted if someone has taken you for granted."
Sharing her personal experience, she disclosed "The holy spirit has spoken to me so I'm telling you, my breathen don't be disheartened, I am a single parent,I was never discouraged but I advised myself that maybe marriage isn't for me so why don't I work hard and do something for myself. I have a son and two daughters and if I tell you where they are, you would be surprised. This is me just like the lady said here, at some point in time we have to carry something. In Accra what I used to carry to sell was bigger than the chairs you are sitting on. When I'm going to church, I had just one cloth so they used to mock me but it didn't discourage me beacuse I knew I had a God who can take you from nothing and show you to wise people in the world to see what he can do."
"Let us not be discouraged, God didn't create all of us to have a car, a good husband, No! but do encourage yourself and let God be of importance to you and he will move you from Grace to Grace and people will see you and ask isn't that the lady? Then you will turn and say my Lord has made me so. Amen" she added.
