● Marriage is beautiful but partners must choose carefully

The Parish Priest of the St. Augustine Catholic Church, Ashaiman, in the Greater Accra Region, Reverend Father Ignatius Ayivor has advised the youth not to focus on looks when searching for women to marry.

He said the youth should allow God to guide them be­cause “when they are enlight­ened by the word of God they would see beyond the appear­ances of people because looks fade with time”.

Delivering his sermon on Sunday at a “Unity Mass”, Rev Fr. Ayivor said he was baffled that some young ladies fo­cused on the clothes a suitor would wear.

“Some of the ladies will look at you up and down and take a good look at your shoes. I do not know why they are so interested in the shoes a man is wearing ,” he wondered.

Rev Fr. Ayivor observed that some young ladies who prioritised appearances over the directions of God and the potentials in their suitors had ended up making irreversible mistakes but, sadly, other young ladies continued to do same.

He advised young men to also learn to be humble not carry themselves about with pride as some would always do.

“Let me tell you, no lady would like to marry a man who is proud” he cautioned.

He described pride as “dirty” and should not be encouraged under any circum­stances because humans were nothing without God.

“God is the source of all we have” the Parish Priest said and advised the congre­gation to be led by the wis­dom of God rather than “book knowledge.”

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.

He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.

Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.

The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
