Empress Gifty has suggested that men who’ve never been married or had children should avoid dating single mothers with more than two kids. She explained that taking on the emotional and financial responsibility of multiple children can be overwhelming for someone inexperienced in parenting. She also warned that complications with the biological father could add stress to the relationship. Instead, she advised single men to consider dating women with no children or, at most, a single child for a smoother, less stressful experience. Her advice sparked mixed reactions—some praised its practicality, while others felt it unfairly stigmatized single mothers. https://lovinghananews.com/prof-gyampo-demands-retraction-from-dr-domfeh-over-he-sleeps-with-underage-girls-tv-comment/

Professor Ransford Gyampo, Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority, has demanded a public apology and retraction from Dr. George Domfeh after a comment on TV3’s The Key Points allegedly implied he “sleeps with underage girls.” Gyampo’s lawyers say the remark, made during a policy debate on November 15, 2025, was defamatory, false, and damaging to his reputation. They have given Dr. Domfeh 24 hours to issue an apology on a platform with similar reach, warning that legal action will follow if he fails to comply. https://lovinghananews.com/i-saw-a-massive-number-of-deaths-ahead-of-the-december-2025-events-nigel-gaisie-alleges/
