Yaw Mensa got married to Annette 3 (three) months ago. They live in a modest, one bedroom rented premises in Taifa. Last month, Yaw Mensa received an interesting offer from his father in law to the effect that Yaw Mensa and Annette could move to the boy’s quarters of a new three- bedroom house the father in – law had just completed in East Legon. He says Yaw Mensa can live there for as long as he wants.
Yaw Mensa is happy but his family is not. To them he will lose the respect of his in – laws immediately he accepts the offer. Secondly, his family argues that Annette will also begin disobeying his orders since they would be living in premises provided by her father. Yaw’s Mensa’s best friend, Fiifi has also kicked against the idea. He says most people started life in a small way and worked their way up to the top gradually. If yaw accepts this offer, he will look like a freeloader who married into Annette’s rich family just for the benefits. But Yaw disagrees. He counters that Annette’s parents treat him as one of their own children and in life; we all get a push sometimes. He also asserts that contrary to fears, the relationship between him and his in – laws will not change as everybody fears. Annette his wife is supportive of the idea.
He wants to accept the offer but his family and best friend say no. He came to the drive talk desk this morning, very distressed. Advise him on drive talk. Sponsored by kasapa….
