Caution: False prophesies cause of division in family
An 80 year old woman, Madam Edith Duku, has admonished the youth to critically examine prophecies which tell them that their mothers are witches.
She said it was disheartening that many mothers, mothers in-law and grandmothers had suddenly become the cause of the woes of their children and grandchildren under this generation.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator last Friday, Madam Duku said she was not against prophecies but those which sought to create division in families were of concern to her hence her decision to talk about it.
She said everyone needed to be worried that many mothers and mother figures who had healthy relationship with their children and in-laws currently had become “enemies” due to someone’s false prophecy.
She was of the opinion that if the intention of such messages were really for the good of their supposed victims, the carriers would have used wisdom to address the situation because families were meant to live together in peace and unity not in pieces.
She said it would not be wrong to say some children had been manipulated whether physically or spiritually to believe that their parents who went through difficulties to raise them were those trying to destroy them.
“Now if a couple cannot have children, it is a certain old woman’s fault, if they have a sick child it is the same excuse, if a person is jobless it is a mother’s fault and even if children are performing poorly academically mothers are to be blamed. ” she said.
Madam Duku said the impression being created was that if a woman crossed a certain age, she became a threat to her own family and this was robbing the youth of the rich experience and wisdom of old people.
“Have our children ever thought about the fact that if as mothers we wanted to destroy them as they are meant to believe, we would have destroyed them in their infancy not in their adulthood”, she said.
She said for daughters and daughters in-law, it was important for them to remember that they would also become mothers, mothers in-law and grandmothers in future.
“In your old age, would you be happy to be accused of being a witch and the cause of whatever challenges your family is going through,”? She asked.

Ghana’s First Lady, Lordina Mahama, has made a generous donation to the country’s national female Under-17 and Under-20 teams – Black Maidens and Black Princesses- as they continue preparations for major international assignments.
The donation, made on Friday, May 22, was presented on behalf of the First Lady by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram.
The gesture forms part of efforts to motivate and support Ghana’s young female footballers as they prepare to represent the country on the international stage.
The donation included essential food items and toiletries aimed at supporting the welfare and well-being of the players and technical teams.
The donation included cartons of Milo, T-rolls, soft drinks, toiletries, and a range of essential supplies aimed at supporting the welfare of the players, enhancing camp conditions, and easing preparations ahead of their respective assignments.
The Black Maidens are currently engaged in preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers and are set to take on Liberia women’s national under-17 football team in the second-leg encounter in Liberia this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Black Princesses have already secured qualification to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after overcoming Uganda in the qualifiers, extending Ghana’s remarkable record to eight consecutive appearances at the tournament.
The donation by the First Lady was expected to boost morale within both camps while reinforcing national support for the young female footballers who continue to make the country proud.
The prosecution has officially rested its case in The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another, the high-profile legal battle commonly referred to as the “Sky Train” case.
The Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai announced the development, praising the state’s team of hard-working prosecutors for successfully anchoring the state’s evidence before the High Court.
The criminal trial centers on the former Chief Executive Officer and the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
The duo stands accused of illegally authorizing and paying out US$2 million to a foreign company without obtaining board directives or other mandatory statutory approvals.
State investigators have confirmed that the disbursed millions cannot be found.
Following the closure of the prosecution’s case, the accused persons moved the court for an opportunity to file a submission of no case.
The presiding judge granted the application, ordering the defense to submit their arguments by June 8.
The outcome of the June 8 filings will decide the fate of the trial:
With this, if the judge finds the defense’s submission convincing, the accused will be acquitted and discharged however, If the judge dismisses the submission, the court will order the accused officials to take the stand and explain why they should not face prison sentences.
