Every story has two stories

In the Bible, the story is told of how Potiphar’s wife did everything possible to lure young Joseph into her bed.

We also tend to take for granted the good things we have and what our lovers and others do for us. 

The fact, however, remains that if you ever expect to be happy in your life and relationship, your first step is always to be grateful for everything that happens in your life.

Some may sell their kidneys to travel abroad if that is all they are required to do. Others are willing to sell everything and anything just to ‘jakpa’. After all, home may not be home anymore.

I have heard stories of Ghanaians who have sold all their property only to give the proceeds to a ‘connection man’ to secure them a visa abroad.
