James, a master’s degree student in UK called us today and said he needed our loyal listeners to advice him. He said he met Moesha – a medical student - during one of his holidays in Ghana. They became friends; one thing led to the other and they have decided to tie the knot in December. Just last week, however, Moesha revealed to him that she cannot marry him because she was once involved in a lesbian-relationship and her former partner is jealous and has threatened to disclose their past affair. Moesha is now a stanch Christian and hence, she has decided to let go of her marriage plans rather than submit both herself and James to any humiliation. James is very confused and hurt. He says invitation cards have been sent out, venues booked, and more importantly he really loves her and thinks she is the perfect mate for him. But Moesha has asked him to give her space. She has recently started distancing herself from the relationship, even though she confesses she also loves him.

So on drive talk today, we are asking; what should James do? Let’s help a distressed brother. Should he forget about her and move on, or should he convince Moesha that the marriage can still work?
