This picture of me and my children taken 3 years ago bring back so many memories. It’s reminds me how hard I fought postpartum depression so it never set in at the time. The birth interval between my kids is just a year and a half so you can just imagine how motherhood was challenging for me during that time. My biological mum whom I was hopeful will be the main support in my motherhood journey unfortunately got very sick when I was just 3 months pregnant with the second child (boy) and my first (girl) was also just a few months after a year old. I had to rely on my own energy first of all, my husband, my step-mother Inlaw of blessed memory and my husband’s mother. At some point even my father Inlaw had to also baby sit so I could go to work in peace. These people I can’t stop thanking them wash passing day. Just    imagine all these number of people holding forth for me as a new mum. It means that, clearly motherhood derives a lot of energy from not only the new mum herself but from t

COVID-19 has pushed many consumers to jumped on online shopping because it has proven to be the most convenient way of buying during this era as people are cautioned to practice social distancing. Stay away from overcrowded places and shopping centres are definitely places anyone mindful about their health will be careful about.  Therefore, digital marketing has become an ideal medium for businesses to promote their products and services.  Buying online is fast, easy and stress free as you confirm your order, pay for it before it’s delivered or pay on delivery but does this kind of convenience match with how much the ordinary Ghanaian has to pay as delivery fee? Once a while I come across people ranting about how much they paid as delivery charges more than the cost price of the product they actually bought online but I flip over because it doesn’t concern me.  Lo and behold, I got my own share of how it hurts to feel that way. I was practically charged GH¢35  as delivery fee for GH¢ 2

 A thousand  times, I will tell young women to build a financial freedom. Work, work, own your future even if you are married. If he has a house you can also build one to make it two. In the end all will be for your kids.  Don’t say, he’s got it all so you can’t be bothered to do anything. Build your capacity. Own your future. Enlarge your territories.  Today, most women are suffering because they built all their financial hope on their late husbands, little did they know the wind of death and even time could change everything. Families, suddenly have become interested in the sacrifices that helped built their  husband’s fortunes.  Women who sacrificed their education, time and skill just to stay home and take care of their children instead of getting a help to do that so money can be saved for building a better future.  Women who accepted to be housewives to get the home going  so their husbands can have peace of mind to work hard and build their future.  Today, all those sacrifices h

We may not admit it but worldly times and behaviour is really making lot of Muslims forget that Ghusl for Women and Men is an important aspect of our act of worship so are not really mindful about practising it. Ghusl is washing the entire body with water.  But let me remind you that, the state of janabah renders a person unfit for the performance of ritual duties, such as prayer, until they purify themselves through complete ablution (ghusl) so how then do you you even feel about your salat when you don’t do this knowing very well you had sexual intercourse or just finished menstruating?  I was taught this at a very early age by my Madrasa teacher and dad and I am not shy to say I perform it as and when I have too.  After reading in-depth on it, I felt it’s an opportunity to share with someone who prolly doesn’t know.  Religiously, any person who calls him/ herself a    Muslim is not fit to pray unless he/ she performs ghusl otherwise your prayers is null.  Men and women have to make

 You can’t live  in the same house or work in the same office with people where you share the same washroom, and all what you do is urinate or poopoo and not flush it. Who does this? Dear brothers and sisters, please let’s take our personal hygiene serious. And this must start from home and must start at an early age so it becomes part of us. It speaks a lot about who we truly are.  Many of us only look well kept on the outside but are very irresponsible in keeping person hygiene for themselves and their surroundings.  You can’t carry yourself about as a beautiful or handsome man and not practice basic personal hygiene like making sure to flush the toilet when you use it, using a rag or mob to clean the floor when it gets wet by you.  You soak clothes in water for days till the odour from it becomes nauseating before you remember you soaked something.  You visit other people’s washroom and urinate in their bathrooms without pouring clean water to wash it away or even just do it in the

Eid-ul-Adha is the greater or say bigger    Eid, this follows the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, at the time of Qurbani (sacrifice). Although Eid-ul-Adha has no direct relation to the Hajj Pilgrimage, it is but a day after the completion of Hajj and therefore has significance in time.  The day of Eid-ul-Adha falls on the tenth day in the final (twelfth) month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar; Dhu-al-Hijjah.  The day that celebrations fall on is dependent on a legitimate sighting of the moon, following the completion of the annual Holy Pilgrimage of Hajj -  which is an obligation for all Muslim’s who fit specific criteria, one of the important five pillars of Islam.  The celebration of Eid-ul-Adha is to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah SWT and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail.  At the very point of sacrifice, Allah SWT replaced Ismail with a ram, which was to be slaughtered in place of his son. This command from Allah SWT was a test of Prophet Ibrahim’s
