And now to my dear young ladies, it’s ok to have a man who is wealthy enough to cater for all your needs.
But, there is pride in working hard to earn your own money, irrespective of the kind of man you have.
You’ve got a rich dude? Good for you. He treats you really good? You are blessed.
However, There is pride in working hard and being able to take care of yourself financially.
My darling lady, you are not in competition with anyone. Please CUT YOUR SKIRT, BLOUSE OR DRESS ACCORDING TO THE YARDS OF FABRIC/CLOTH YOU HAVE.
DON’T EVER LIVE ABOVE YOUR MEANS. It’s not worth it. Be happy and content in your corner.
Being an empowered woman is being a wise, hardworking, financially independent and impactful woman.
My name is Oheneyere Gifty Anti, OGA, I judge not, but this is my Standpoint.

She received a lot of bashing to the extent l am confused as to what she is being bashed for. Is the bashing for speaking her mind? Is it for telling lies or it is for telling the truth that one knows but dare not say in the public? Or is it because she was too categorical in branding Ghanaian women without distinction? Or is it because she waded into politics,albeit inadvertently, by blaming an anti-feminine and unfriendly economy? Perhaps, a little dose here and there combined to give a potent concoction of the tongue lashing she received which eventually compelled her to apologize. Let me attempt an analysis of what she said. Is there truth that girls sleep with men for financial incentives in Ghana? Yes! Some even sleep their way to their first job and subsequent promotion in the murky corporate world. Is that the practice by all Ghanaian women? No! It is pervasive but we still have some women who know that their worth is their intellect and talent and not dropping of panties in hotels! Can the economy justify any woman sleeping with any man for money? Nope! Our economy is not the best; there's no perfect economy anywhere in the world. Those who choose to sleep around for their upkeep face the same economic prospects as those who choose not to. In fact,some are better placed in terms of opportunities. The only thing that differs between the two groups is choice! So is it ok to sleep with a man for money? No! That's not ok because it robbs you of your dignity and self worth and the consequences are only a matter of when,not if. Whilst the practice is pervasive among young girls it still doesn't make it right or normal. U have these girls living in apartments which are charged in dollars! U are using the latest iPhone in town when you are yet to graduate and land your first job! U are simply living way above your means and the only way you can sustain it is to get a "Sponsor". It is not the economy,it is not society,it is your choice!
Oh my dear "me do wo do do"! You're such a great woman that I always admire I wish you're my biological sister that Im proud of. Exellent advise Ghanaian women/girls should learn from you. Stay blessed with your beautiful family
Gifty please write it big on a blackboard and hang it on the neck of the man calling himself counselor Lutherodt. President Putin and former wife divorced, would you attribute that to poverty or lack of money? Former vice President of American Al Gore and the former wife broke up would you say it was poverty or lack of money big NO!! This is just a few. So that should tell Lutherodt that there is more to marriage than money.
OHENEYERE WELL SAID , WE HAVE A LOT OF GHANAIAN WOMEN WORKING HARD AND MAKING IMPACT ON OTHERS. EVEN HER OWN FRIEND HAS BEEN ABLE TO OPEN A SHOP AND EMPLOYED OTHER LADIES LIKE HER.
Well said Gifty kings wife. The issue is competition. Most of our women try to compete with others mean while they don't have what it takes so end up with all sort of life just to keep up what ever competition they have and this lead witchcraft
OHENEYERE, ITS NOT A STANDPOINT BUT A TESTIMONY. WE HAVE OBSERVED YOU FROM AFAR AND HAVE NOTICED HOW HARD YOU HAVE WORKED AND ALSO HOW YOU HAVE WAITED ON GOD TO BLESS YOU WITH A ROYAL HOME - YOU ARE A FANTASTIC ROLE MODEL. GOD BLESS YOU.
Thank you Mama Gifty
