Sunday 22.30 GMT June 1824 in Ghana

The Predictor The Predictor

Sitting behind elders at a party sometimes is quite disappointing and boring because they always keep the temperature cold. However, drinking wine with them brings a lot of wisdom and understanding.

I found myself in such a situation in Ghana in 1824 in a town called Divorce. An old man named Ambition approached my table and asked me for a seat. He asked me my name, and I replied that I am "The Predictor, and immediately he posted a question on me, "what will you consider when choosing a life partner?". I was a bit uncomfortable and knew at that moment the man was in for trouble. I looked at my watch and it was 22:27 GMT in local time.

My long-awaited answer was a lady with big legs and hips. He laughed and then asked young man which part of Ghana did you come from? I replied, the city of Fantasy in the Eastern Region Akuapem to be precise. He said I now know who your parents will be Mr Hopeless and Madam Problems.

He laughed again and looked at his watch and said to me it was 22: 30 GMT Sunday, June 1824 keeps this date and time. Now pay attention to me and listen to the words of wisdom he commanded!

He began by saying" The answer to this question for many men will be, "I want someone who will love me," so I was surprised, your response was quite disappointing, however, I understand your situation. Some may think, Mr. Predictor, that love is the answer to your question, but hell no!.

One must consider carefully what they want to do in life before choosing a life partner. Your dreams will give you a hint of the type of woman you need for your journey. He asked are you a Christian? I replied Yes. Mr. Ambition emphasized the importance of reading Proverbs 30:18-33 to gain insight into the concept that objects or things are created with designated partners or tools.

Instead of seeking someone to love him, he advised to search for a person who shares his perspectives, goals, and principles. If the person only loves him without aligning their thoughts with his, it may lead to numerous conflicts and hinder the realization of his dreams.

How do I make the meaning of my name come to pass? He said with a low voice, I have a schoolmate who is now a pastor called Great Angle. His church members believe he can transform into animals and tell them many myths. But do you know his wife is still married to him and loves him? Although she knew her husband could never change into anything, not even a water bottle, but because they think in the same way, they remain a team.

When he mentioned "Water Bottle", I laughed uncontrollably, and he quickly asked, what is the problem? I responded in a low voice, Are you referring to the one Mr. UN gave to the famous Sakodie? "Enough he said, I don't want any problems," he replied. We will talk some other time, but it will help you if you take this advice seriously if not may history be our witnes
