Breast sucking promotes bonding among couples – Dr Boakye
Dr John Boakye
Breast sucking has enormous bonding and health benefits, a marriage counsellor, Dr John Boakye, has disclosed.
Consequently, he has charged men not to be lazy about sucking the breasts of their partners.
Dr Boakye made the comment during his sermon at the Hope Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Sakumono, Accra, on the topic “Effective Communication: Full Disclosure in Relationship”.
It formed part of the family life month observation by the church and coincides with the Pink Month of October reserved for the creation of awareness on breast cancer.
According to Dr Boakye, the act of sucking breast can help in early detection of breast cancer which has become very prevalent in recent times.
“Always suck your wife’s breast. It won’t only help them prevent breast cancer but boost your self-esteem as a man,” he stated.
Making reference to Proverbs 5:18-19, he quoted, “May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in your wife-a loving doe, a graceful deer; may her breasts satisfy you at all times, may you be captivated by her love always.”
He said it was important for couples to hold hands, kiss and hug each other often to promote bonding that would foster a long-lasting relationship.
He also advised women to dress well and learn how to cook since those acts could make a man feel very good about them.
“Do acts of service by supporting each other with chores, exchange gifts and appreciate each other’s efforts,” he stressed.
He urged men to give money to their partners as women were emotionally attached to receiving financial rewards.
“Sleep in the same room. The deepest form of communication for married people is sex-so have sex very often,” he added.
“It is a crime for a wife to deny husband sex. Husbands must fulfil their marital duties to their wives and vice versa,” he stated.
From the book of 1 Corinthians 7:3-4, he quoted, “The husband should fulfil his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband.”
He urged couples to make the sex life exciting, communicate often and seek the face of the Lord in their marriages.

Focus on more pressing issues like Galamsey, not hate speech – Ellen Ama Daaku to Mahama
An aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,Ellen Ama Daaku has advised President John Dramani Mahama to shift his attention from social media hate speech to more urgent national issues such as illegal mining.
Speaking in an interview, she noted that the President’s recent comments about tracking the IP addresses of people who spread hate speech were unnecessary.
According to her, President Mahama must first define what he considers to be hate speech before seeking to punish people for it.
Ms. Daaku argued that the President himself had benefitted from hate speech and social media attacks in the past when he was in opposition.
She said even during his time in government, he described his opponents and their tribesmen in unpalatable terms, which later drew complaints from former President Nana Akufo-Addo to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
She stressed that harsh criticism of leaders on social media should not automatically be considered hate speech, adding that former leaders, including former President Nana Akufo-Addo had all been subjected to it.
“He is only feeling what Nana Akufo-Addo went through for eight years,” she remarked.
While acknowledging the need to regulate misconduct online, Ms. Daaku insisted that going after social media activists should not be a priority.
She noted that many political activists, including herself, had been insulted and attacked online but never called for arrests.
She concluded that President Mahama should focus his energy on solving pressing problems such as galamsey and the economy instead of concentrating on critics on social media.

Prof Alidu Seidu files nomination for Tamale Central seat
The newly elected parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Tamale Central, Prof Alidu Seidu, has submitted his nomination forms to the Electoral Commission.
As of 10:00 a.m. today, he was the only person who had filed to contest the seat.
Nomination of candidates will close at the end of the day.
Associate Professor and Head of the Political Science Department at the University of Ghana Legon, Prof. Alidu Seidu won the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries in the Tamale Central constituency with a landslide victory.
The elections, supervised by the party’s Elections and IT Directorate in the Northern Region, saw Prof. Seidu poll 840 votes out of the total valid ballots cast.
His closest contender, Lawyer Hanan Gundadow Abdul-Rahaman, secured 536 votes.
The other aspirants could not make significant gains, with Dr. Seidu Fiter obtaining 44 votes, Aliu Abdul-Hamid 23 votes, and the rest recording fewer than 10 votes each.
In all, 1,500 ballots were cast, with 6 ballots rejected and 7 spoilt ballots recorded.
The results were signed and declared by Dr. Arnold Mashud Abukari, NDC Northern Regional Director of Elections and IT.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) held parliamentary primaries in Tamale Central to choose a candidate for the upcoming by-election following the death of the sitting Member of Parliament, Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed. Dr. Mohammed, who also served as Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, tragically died in a military helicopter crash in the Adansi Akrofuom District on August 6, 2025, alongside seven others.
His passing left the Tamale Central seat vacant, as required by Ghana’s 1992 Constitution.
The Electoral Commission has scheduled the by-election for September 30, 2025. While the NDC moved quickly to open nominations and vet aspirants, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) announced it would not contest the seat, citing the need to respect the somber circumstances and promote national unity.
