Tomorrow, Sunday, May 12, is a day dedicated in honour of mothers and is celebrated in countries throughout the world.
Ghana is not an exception to this wonderful day, as individuals, families and friends use the occasion to express their admiration for their mothers for the wonderful contribution to their lives.
It is in this spirit that multiple award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty expressed the need to celebrate mothers for their special roles.
According to her, mothers will always be special because they were instrumental in raising children and societies.
Speaking to The Spectator ahead of this year’s Mother’s Day celebration, the gospel musician said, “What makes Mother’s Day so special for me is that they are very inspirational. They are people we look up to. They go through a lot for our sake and even when we are matured, they would still be there for us.”
According to the ‘Aseda’ hitmaker, her mother, Evangelist Agnes Annan, affectionately called Maame Fante was one person everyone would love to have as a mother.
“So I see Mother’s Day as an opportunity for us to say thank you in a special way to our mothers. It is a moment for us to honour them and let them know how special they are in our lives.”
“My mother had stood in the gap for me on many occasions, which is why I hold her in high esteem. I believe it is same for many others. These women are very dear to our lives,” she said.
Consequently, she asserted that “I wouldn’t have been this successful in my career without my mother’s constant advice, prayers, and guidance.”
“My mother has received a lot of ‘bullets’ for me, it is because of me my mother was divorced, and I told myself, I will never be separated from her and ensure everything that makes a mother happy would be provided,” she revealed
According to her, the significance of Mother’s Day cannot be overemphasised, considering the mothers’ contribution on the lives of their children.
Empress Gifty said it was unfortunate some people attempt to play down on the day’s significance due to one reason or the other but advised all and sundry to use the opportunity to honour every person that has played a motherly role in his or her life before.
She also advised mothers to forgive their children or whoever wronged them to avoid generational curses.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
