Ever since God created Eve to join Adam, man has known no peace! Eve condoned the snake and lured Adam to eat what God had forbidden them. God lined up severe punishment for Eve and Adam too, even though Adam stated clearly to God that, "the woman you gave me caused me to eat the fruit." 

Indeed, many Ghanaian men, especially those abroad, have had their lives destroyed by Ghanaian women. I have personally suffered a similar fate. The case is still in court, so I will not talk much about it. I will be discussing some Ghanaians abroad who have suffered at the hands of Ghanaian women. Eric lived in Texas for fifteen years and was approaching forty, but he was still not married. He found a very beautiful lady on Facebook. He started chatting with her. She was a Ghanaian girl living in Ghana. Erik fell in love with her, and they exchanged phone numbers.

They talked to one another on a daily basis. Erik told the woman that he intended to marry and bring her to the US. The woman also confirmed her love for him. Erik told his sister in Ghana that he had found a woman he wanted to marry, so she should inform their parents and tell them to go and ask for the woman's hand in marriage. He later sent the bride price and all that was required for the marriage to occur. He was already building a house in Kumasi through her sister. Eric sent all the money to her to build the house on his behalf. 

Three days after the marriage rites, Eric told his sister to hand over the keys and the documents to his new wife. His sister did not agree with his brother. But she was finally compelled to give the keys and documents to the wife. The wife waited for three days and changed the ownership of the house into her own name.

Eric began to send money to his wife, and within nine months, the house was completed. Eric shipped tiles for the rooms, a complete set of furniture, kitchen cabinets, bathroom accessories, beds, and air conditioners to get them fixed in his house in Ghana. When everything was fixed in the house, he decided to come down for the first time to see his wife and the new house. Eric finally landed in Ghana and was met at the airport by his sister and wife.   When they finally arrived at the house, Erik's excitement was irrepressible. His sister later left them at her house. They sat in the hall, talking and getting to know each other for the first time. He later asked for the documents on the house. It was then that Erick realised the woman had changed all the documents to her name.

Eric became furious and called her sister to inform her. His sister advised him not to sleep in the house, but he refused to listen. He never ate her food, and he slept in the master bedroom alone. The woman would watch TV until midnight before retiring to her bed. On the third day, she paid some killers to come home to kill her husband. Before she went to sleep, she did not lock the main gate or the door leading to the house. The killers came to the house at 3 a.m., shot Eric, and killed him. Very wicked woman!

Dr. Agyekum lived in New York City with his twenty-year-old child. His wife, who was a white American, died of cancer when their child was eight years old. Dr. Agyekum built a two-story house solely for family purposes. He also had a 20-acre palm plantation. He came to Ghana to see the house and the farm. He met a beautiful lady, and he fell in love with her. He hurriedly performed the marriage ceremony. He moved the woman to his house. He spent two months in Ghana before returning to New York, leaving the woman in his house in Ghana. Unfortunately, he forgot the entire set of documents on the farm and the house in a drawer in a room. The woman found them, took them to the appropriate offices, and changed everything into her name. 

Despite his busy schedules in America, Dr. Agyekum decided to rush to Ghana to get the documents because his wife had told him she had not seen them. He was met at the airport by his wife. When they finally arrived home, he rushed to the bedroom and pulled all the drawers, but the documents were nowhere to be found. The woman confessed she had changed all the documents to her name. Dr. Agyekum consulted a lawyer, and the case was taken to court. Each time the case was called in court, it would be adjourned for at least two months. This happened three times. Anytime the case was postponed, he took a flight back to New York since he had a business to take care of.   The date to meet in court again was getting nearer, so he decided to go back to Ghana for the fourth time. Before he came to Ghana, he passed through Benin to consult the Juju witchdoctors to deal with his wife, the lawyer, and the presiding judge. He continued to go to Ghana. The case was called and postponed again. Within a week, the judge died, and within two weeks, the lawyer was involved in a fatal accident and died instantly. The woman fell down in the house and could not walk again. 

Now her parents went on their knees, begging him to take his house and make their daughter well. Agyekum consulted and instructed his lawyer to prepare new documents to transfer both the house and the farm back to him. The parents implored Agyekum to make her get back on her feet again now that he had gotten back all his property. Agyekum told the parents that he promised an extra 2000 dollars to the Juju men if they helped him get his house and farm back. So if they want their daughter to be well, they should provide the amount since he didn’t have that amount on him. They could not provide the amount. Agyekum locked his doors and the main gate and left for New York. Within a week, the woman died.

As a matter of fact, Ghanaians living abroad have suffered at the hands of heartless Ghanaian women. There are instances, especially in America, where, just two weeks ago, a Ghanaian woman shot her husband dead after a brief quarrel. We are all victims of the wickedness, atrocities, and heartlessness of Ghanaian women. I advise each and every man to tread carefully.
