I was busy minding my own business (okay I checked other
people's profiles too, lol) when I saw the silly notification from Facebook
about people who commented on a "Top post" in a group I rarely check
out. I joined the group so I'll get a few laughs on a really slow Facebook day
(interestingly, I don't think of the group even on a slow day, lol). Anyway, I
decided to look at the "Top post". Lo and behold, it was THE post.
"Which one is "THE post" again?", you may ask. I'll gladly
answer the question.
THE post is the reason why some ladies are married to
broke guys whose "potential" has not yielded any positive dividend in
the past 16 years of democracy. I can't remember if I ever got a forwarded
email with "THE post" when forwarded annoying emails were the
"in-thing". I think I first read "THE post" when I was in
Group 1. I'm not sure which is more hilarious - "THE post" itself or
the way my fellow "Myth Busters" and I took "THE post"
apart...
Here's "THE post"
***********************************
A Guy who has no job got married to a banker,despite his
fears and several advices that it's not good to marry without a job. Every
month the girl would give the guy her full salary of GHc1,500 after removing
her tithe. The guy would give the wife GHc250 for personal upkeep and the guy
determined what happened to the remaining money. This happened for 3 good
years. There was happiness in the family and the wife never refused to do her
primary home duties for that 3 years, despite wrong advice from friends that
'you can't be paying the bills and still be doing all the work'. There was a
particular month the guy used about GHc900 to travel from region to region for
different interviews.
He finally got a job with a good firm. His salary was
GHc8,000 monthly 4 a start. He bought his first car (a brand new) for GHc60,000
he gave the wife the car key,& continued to take public transport to work
for about 2 years. Then he bought the 2nd car for GHc80,000 took the keys of
the first car & gave his wife the keys of the 2nd car. They eventually
moved into their own house after few years. One day, the wife was looking for
some. documents. She stumbled on a file neatly hidden, when she opened it, she
saw her wedding picture when she was very slim in the first page of the file.
She then saw that the document the purchase of the land and every other thing
in the house were all written in her name! At the last page was the husband's
wedding picture and a note written by him:
''MY WIFE IS ALL I HAVE GOT. NOT EVEN THIS HOUSE WORTH
GHc280,000 AT THE TIME I BUILT IS MINE'' .Tears started to roll down her
eyes.This couple got married in 1998.
Last Sunday was their wedding anniversary with 3
children. True LOVE still exists till this day. Are you sure the love you have
for your partner can be compared to this one you just read?
No matter what remember you chose each other. It doesn't
matter who puts food on the table or who pays the bills. Always know, NO
CONDITION IS PERMANENT.
Have a Blessed weekend.

Seriously? Why do I feel the man thinks he did the banker
"girl" a favour by marrying her? Then what's with the woman
submitting all her salary except her tithe to the man (she for join the tithe
na, lol)? Which book, chapter and verse of the Bible asks women to submit their
salary to their husbands? Did Sarah do it? Deborah nko? What of the Proverbs 31
woman? If so, where did she get the money to buy the field she considered?
Uncle will spend GHc 1100 and give aunty GHc 250 for her
upkeep. I just can't deal...I know it's a broke, lazy "potential"
merchant that wrote this lie, erm testimony.
The part that had me hysterical was the line about her
paying all the bills yet doing all the house chores. My simple question is
"WHAT WAS THE MAN DOING WITH HIS FREE TIME?"
If I know my Maths correctly, the wife gave Uncle Husband
GHc 39600 (I haven't calculated how much she might have earned if she had
invested it). The first return she got was a GHc 60000 depreciating
asset/liability. Mr Husband used seven and a half months worth of salary to buy
a depreciating asset to show his appreciation for the GHc 39600 she invested in
him for 3 years with hard labour. I question the financial intelligence of both
man and wife. How did she end up as a banker sef? I won't want her as my
banker, lol.
We haven't even talked about the risk involved in this
"investment" (Mr. "Potential", Madam is truly expecting her
GHc 60,000 car, then the GHc 80,000 car and finally the GHc 280,000 worth of
property; it's eventually about the money, lol). Statistically, only FEW men
remember the woman who stood by them when times were hard. I can recount
horrendous tales of men whose school fees were paid by women who were
eventually discarded. If we're talking in terms of risk, the likelihood of
getting the outcome described in "THE post" is slim. I can already
see a man with an oversized ego and I don't believe this story is true. I think
it is the figment of someone's imagination. When I first saw this post about 3
years ago, they celebrated their wedding anniversary "last Sunday with 3
kids". It is still the same this year...Hmmmm
If you, Ms Banker, are still going ahead to marry Mr.
Potential because of "THE post", please don't mind Kneekey2. She
talks too much...Just don't say you weren't warned when you're still waiting
after 25 years for your GHc 60,000 or GHc 80,000 car OR your GHc 280,000
properties...
Meanwhile, let me face money-making ventures...Have a
blessed and productive day.
