Love and Sustenance

Although there are many different kinds of long-distance relationships, most research in the domains of communication and relational studies has concentrated on it, with a primary focus on relationship preservation. In certain studies on long-distance connections, the effects of separation on well-being are taken into account.

An intimate relationship between partners who are physically apart from one another is referred to as a long-distance relationship. Geographical distance and a lack of in-person touch are challenges in this kind of relationship.

There is a limited opportunity for physical interaction between people in long-distance relationships, and there is a need to make up for that lapse because of this. Constant conversation, however, fills this communication gap as the use of technology has simplified this process. The measures one can take to maintain a long-distance relationship are listed below.

  • Show genuine concern

Communication should not be confused with concern. Instead, it is one of the goals that communication is intended to achieve. People communicate for a variety of reasons, not all of which are related to concern. Some of the reasons include making a request, demanding attention, and expressing satisfaction, among others. The emotion of worry or anxiety about a certain situation that another person is going through is consequently defined as concern. One is motivated by this emotion to reach out to the other person as effectively as possible. Communication and assistance are two ways to express concern. Concern, however, deepens the emotional connection between spouses regardless of how it is expressed.

  • Surprises and presents

Like magic, surprises and gifts bring out the best in everything. This is not merely a result of peoples’ love of gifting. To convey affection and concern, it goes a little beyond. When one expresses love by giving and receiving surprises, it shows how invested they are in the relationship. The other side remains devoted and enthusiastic thanks to that one assurance.

  • At all times, be truthful

It is best to express emotions like worry, insecurity, and jealousy to other people. A long-distance relationship cannot be sustained by trying to keep things from the other person.

  • Visit each other when possible

In any long-distance relationship, visits are the high point since they allow the couple to finally be together and catch up on all the time they have missed apart. This one action forges a solid connection and is good for the relationship.

Lagos to Accra | A Story of Love and Hardship

Life requires overcoming challenges and obstacles of many types. Battling our struggles and fears determines who we are. – David Weatherford (Child psychologist)

 

Image of Temitope in a conversation with a staff of Dominion TV in Circle, Accra.

 

To love and be loved in return is one of everyone’s deepest dreams. Some people will go to great lengths, risking their safety, to visit their loved ones, even if it means traveling great distances.

Temitope Olabisi Karounwi is one of those people. She is a Nigerian woman in her 30s and a vendor on the streets of Circle, Accra. In October 2019, she left Lagos, Nigeria for Ghana after meeting a man online whom she believed to be a gift from God. Even though her story is very brief, it is nonetheless a poignant one. Their romantic journey appeared to be going well until the man in question revealed to Temitope on March 3, 2020, that his parents had counseled against their future intentions to wed. Temitope described how she attempted to hold on to him out of love for him, but all of her efforts were unsuccessful.

 

Temitope’s struggles in the streets of Accra

After experiencing disappointment, Temitope started her job hunt until she was hired at an eatery, where she was paid Ghc10 per day. She spoke of how difficult the struggle was yet had to make do with what she had at the time owing to the fact that she lacked the money to go back to Nigeria.

“It was not easy for me at all, but I wanted to achieve something with my life so I still saved out of the little I was making”. 

She finally succeeded in purchasing a refrigerator to sell on the streets of Circle, a city in Accra-Ghana, after some time. Even though she is now seeing a man she calls her dream partner, she sells sachet water and other beverages on the streets of Accra. According to Temitope, some days are good and some days are not at all good. She continues by saying that even though she is expecting a child and her current income is not sufficient to support herself and the child, she will continue to take each day as it comes until she achieves success.

She holds that even if she has made mistakes in her life, God never criticizes her and that His plans are always ideal, therefore she hopes for the day when all of her difficulties will be over. This is the story of a woman who followed her heart, experienced disappointment, and is making a valiant effort to support herself despite her difficulties.

 

She counsels everyone who is having trouble creating a fulfilling life for themselves through what they do to persevere since their breakthrough is closer than they think.

Do you, as a man or woman, strive to live a meaningful life in spite of whatever challenges you may encounter? While putting a lot of effort into realizing your dreams, never lose hope.

27-year-old Shares Battle with Sickle Cell

Every individual you come across is engaged in a battle you are unaware of. Why not simply practice kindness wherever possible? Even if someone seems to have everything together, they could still be struggling with something internally. By being kind, you could potentially make someone’s day or even change their life.

 

Every so often, a person emerges who can legitimately be referred to as a hero. Amina Musah is a heroine of our generation because she regularly fights a battle that would break many others if they were in her position.

Sickle cell disease is a collection of genetic red blood cell abnormalities that damage hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. It is a lifelong disease. Currently, the only treatment for sickle cell disease is bone marrow and blood transplant, but there are efficient therapies that can lessen symptoms and increase lifespan. Sickle cell disease (SCD), which affects over 200,000 newborns each year in Africa, is a significant public health issue, according to research estimates. Every year, sickle cell disease is diagnosed in roughly 15,000 (2%) babies in Ghana. 

Image of Amina Musah and a staff member of Dominion TV.

Experience with sickle cell

Amina Musah, 27, a native of Oblogo, Weija, who is living with sickle cell disease (SCD) experienced her first sickle cell crisis when she was just 8 years old. Her grandmother restricted her from associating with her friends, as is customary for young children, and this prevented her from enjoying her youth owing to the discomfort caused by the disease.

Amina described how her house mistress accused her of being pregnant when she went to school with her medical report after experiencing her first crisis in senior high school. She was humiliated by her schoolmates as a result of this one action. No matter how long it took, she clung to God and trusted Him to vindicate her, and in the end, He did.

When Amina had completed her senior high education and had gained admission into a Nursing Training Institute, her principal at the time advised against pursuing a career in nursing since, in his opinion, it was too demanding for someone with her condition. The courageous young woman with sickle cell persisted, and in 2017, she was finally admitted. However, the joy of working in the medical sector was short-lived for the next two years as sickle cell refused to let go of her.

The young woman remarked, “Every month once I am done menstruation, I deal with the crisis,” when asked how frequently she has crises. She mentioned how, despite the suffering caused by having sickle cell, she is confident that God has a purpose for her life and will not use her condition to humiliate her.

“Even though I am confident that God has a wonderful plan for my life, I am ready for everything that is yet to come because I have heard of people with sickle cell who have passed away at a young age.” – Amina Musah

 

2018’s heavenly experience at Korle-Bu

Amina was rushed to the emergency room of the Korle-Bu hospital sometime in 2018. She described how the doctors maintained her hope during her stay as she lived there for a month while using oxygen to stay alive. Amina, while sobbing uncontrollably, described how her mother contacted the hospital accountant for the total cost of the oxygen for a month. The accountant reportedly inquired whether they could pay, and after repeated attempts to get him to speak failed, he said he would pay for the oxygen, which at the time cost 7,000 cedis for a month.

“An angel in human form paid for my debt too, just as Christ came to die for you and me, and I am eternally grateful because I know God has a plan for me. My ways are not His ways” – Amina Musah

Amina’s advice is intended for all who have not yet married or given birth, and she urges everyone to check their sickling status before committing to anything because, in her experience, as a result of the intensity of pain associated with the condition, sickle cell disease is more depressing and health-depleting than is even known.

Saved by Grace | A Remarkable Journey with Tuberculosis

“The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.” – Mother Teresa

Every young man’s dream is to grow up free of any illness that threatens his life and to realize all of his dreams. Life-threatening illnesses like tuberculosis and pneumonia should not be taken lightly since those who survive them are not only grateful to God but have also learned to appreciate life and the simple things.

The primary organs affected by the potentially dangerous infectious disease tuberculosis (TB) are the lungs. People contract tuberculosis from one another by coughing and sneezing, which release microscopic droplets of bacteria-causing sputum into the air.

One such person who has seen the horrifying effects of tuberculosis, seen its ugly face, and is now free is Stephenson Ochemba. He describes the illness that, but for God’s intervention, would have killed him. His story is only one of many heartening stories that the young man uses to inspire everyone who has reached the brink of giving up to continue to hope despite all odds.

How It All Started

Stephen at the tuberculosis unit.

Stephenson Ochemba began experiencing headaches as he was preparing for ‘Greater Works’ in Accra on a specific day in July 2019. He experienced the signs of malaria, therefore he gave himself a prescription for anti-malarial medication. After a few days, the symptoms persisted and now included a cough.

Even though he was in discomfort and his temperature fluctuated, the then-22-year-old man managed to attend the “Greater Works” event on the first day. On the second day, however, he still found it difficult to make it there. He began to shiver severely on the second day, began to grit his teeth, and soon after, he passed out. First aid was provided under the direction of the event’s medical staff. He described how he only missed one day of the event, how, on the final day of the event, he awoke sweat-soaked in his bed, discovered his legs were unable to support his body, and how, upon attempting to stand, he collapsed to the ground.

When asked why he kept attending the event, he said he could not even understand it because he was so weak at the time. His sister rushed him to the first hospital after he attempted to rise but instead collapsed to the ground, where he was treated for a period even though the disease had not yet been identified. He stayed there for a week, and as the findings of many tests proved fruitless, his condition deteriorated.

Stephen’s Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

After being discharged and numerous failed attempts to get him to another hospital, he was finally admitted into a different hospital after prayers and tears were offered to the Lord. It was there he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and pneumonia. He received oxygen while he was swiftly driven to Korle-Bu in an ambulance. When they arrived at the hospital’s emergency ward, they were informed there were no beds available and were advised he should be sent home and returned every day for treatment. His sister, in tears, begged that her brother be treated on the ground. After the information had reached his family back in Nigeria, his father requested that Stephenson Ochemba be flown back to Nigeria. Shortly after his father’s call, he saw the doctor at “Greater Works” who provided first aid, and he happened to be working at the hospital. The medical practitioner quickly made arrangements for space for the young man after observing him in his condition.

“God was aware of everything I was going through because I noticed indications in various ways.” – Stephenson Ochemba

Stephen’s Emergency Ward Experience

He said, “At one point, I felt uneasy with the oxygen and removed it.”  A nurse came to their aid when his sister cried out for assistance. He then described his two-week stay in the emergency room before being transferred to the tuberculosis unit. People rushing around screaming and pleading for aid while clinging to life or death is what he saw regularly. According to Stephenson Ochemba, these encounters altered his perspective on life and taught him to value the simple things because they are all that we have.

After being transferred to the tuberculosis ward, his condition appeared to go from being just ok to worse practically right away, which caused him to experience an emotional rollercoaster where he occasionally wished he could just stop breathing and therefore feel no agony any longer. Most of the time, he offered this silent prayer at night when he was in excruciating discomfort from insomnia brought on by rib pain. Friends who visited him realized how thin he was getting day by day, and he could see from their eyes the suffering it caused them to see him in that state.

 

“If God Does Not Die, Why Would I…”

“Each time I felt like going to the restroom, I held myself back because of the discomfort that came with squatting as my legs could not support my body,” Stephenson Ochemba continued. When he tried to describe how his health began to improve, he broke down in tears and said, “If God does not die, why would I, the son of God, die when I have not yet fulfilled my whole purpose on earth?” He described the deaths of two other people who had been hospitalized, one to his left and the other to his right, in a trembling voice. He talked about how he witnessed them fighting for survival at night before giving up when their strength left them.

At this moment, his mother arrived in Ghana and provided all the parenting assistance she could. Her tears did not dry up, her prayers did not stop, and her faith only grew more and more. It was in no time he slowly regained his strength and was guided to walking once again. It took persistent prayer, affection from friends and family, and timely drug use to restore Stephenson Ochemba’s health.

Image of Stephen Ochemba a few months after he was discharged from Korle-Bu.

The young man’s final advice to all who are suffering from any sickness is to first and foremost trust God because what saved him was not only medication but also prayers from family and friends. He remarked there is so much hope if God’s plan for a person is not completed and advised them to have faith in God to provide for them that which He always does.

This is the remarkable story of a young man who experienced prolonged pain, held out hope in the face of despair, and ultimately experienced God’s grace and mercy.

Hoping against Hope

We appear to be surrounded by issues more than ever today, and we are immediately inundated with misery, crises, and a wide range of moral sins even when we switch on the television. In addition to that, every one of us faces internal problems as well as social conflicts as a result of our efforts to live out our religion. In the face of all this, we could be inclined to quit, throw in the towel, or even give up.

“Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” – Romans 4:18

St. Paul writes about hoping against hope in his Letter to the Romans. This context is particularly intriguing since he is referring to Abraham, to whom God had previously made the Old Testament promise that he would be the father of a powerful people. The fact is that Abraham was 100 years, and Sara, his 90-year-old wife was infertile.  Humanly speaking, they could not have children, but Abraham trusted in God and hoped firmly that His promise would be fulfilled. Sara gave birth to a boy named Isaac a year later, as we all know, as the Lord kept His word.

Abraham, according to St. Paul, “hoped against hope,” that is, he held on to what God had told him even when it appeared to be hopeless to the human eye. Even when all the odds were against him, he did not give up. He was quite certain that God could accomplish everything He had promised. Abraham provides us with a remarkable hope that is admirable and imitable even under the most trying circumstances, according to St. Paul.

It takes more than merely turning a switch to hope against hope. It is a gift from our Lord that was slowly accumulated. That implies that we must pray about it and ask for it. It also denotes a fervent faith. After all, we can only pray that our Lord would keep His word to the extent that we have faith in His omnipotence and His desire to assist us. We must once more ask in prayer for this firm confidence that upholds a fervent hope.

The real challenge lies in putting this knowledge into practice and adapting it to our unique living circumstances in the same way that Abraham overcame his belief that he would never be able to have a son to become the “father of nations.”

The daily problems and the more significant, tangible challenges in our life are therefore calling us to hope against hope in the strength and grace of our Lord.

The Power Of Words

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – John 1:1 NIV

 

There is a lesson in this for everyone if we look past the religious elements. Every sentence starts with a word. The very reality that surrounds us is created by words, however, thoughts cannot become reality without words. We have been taught this throughout history, even as far back as the Bible. As an illustration, when God commanded, “Let there be light,” there was light. They must be our most potent instruments yet if our words and thoughts are the actual means by which we shape reality.

Thoughts have an impact on what we manifest in our life as well, however, some contend that words have more power than thoughts. We can boldly affirm our innermost thoughts with the language we use. They serve as confirmation for the way we perceive the world, other people, and ourselves. Our words act as a strong affirmation, and it is this affirmation that allows our thoughts to become a reality.

Below are two ways we can use words for our best interest.

 

Two Approaches To Word Use

  • Picking words carefully

We have conditioned ourselves as a culture to talk about our troubles and misfortunes. We create things by communicating to the world our interpretations of things, other people, and ourselves. By that admission, we are putting those negative thoughts out there for them to become a reality when we lament or complain about our lives to others. When we speak aloud, most of the time, our words become true not only in our minds but also in the minds of those we are speaking to.

Let us start being more mindful of the words we use to describe ourselves and our lives and work on improving our self-awareness. Let us avoid using any negative language since doing so prevents us from attracting the life we want. Our words are the paint we use to create the reality we see. To build a reality that is beneficial to us, let us carefully and positively choose the words we use.

 

  • Speaking truthfully

We frequently act out of anxiety when we grumble about life, speak nervously, or use hateful language. Therefore, improving our self-awareness of the words we are using is the first step we need to take to overcome this.

The next time we are about to criticize ourselves or others, let us stop and consider why we are doing it and how it will contribute to our happiness.

 In conclusion, let us utilize our words carefully because they are the foundation of our world.

After You Say ‘I Do’ | A Husband’s Edition

“No disease is more dangerous than a bad husband, for if a woman catches that pox, she will languish from it her entire life.” – Sabrina Jeffries (American author)

 

It may not be as obvious as it may sound, but a husband’s duties include protecting, providing for, and loving his wife. A husband and wife deal with a lot of difficulties. The ups and downs of a journey of togetherness are inevitable, and a husband’s obligation to his wife and family is to share all the burdens. When two people decide to get married, their marriage endures both happy and difficult moments for the rest of their lives.

A husband, however, is a man who is married to another person; a male spouse.

We will learn about the various responsibilities a husband has in this article, as well as how to set priorities to make life easier for the whole family.

  • A leader

Controlling the house comes naturally to a leader. Everything and all thoughts flow naturally. The three pillars of a good leader are knowledge, action, and example, but it is best to avoid being a dictator.

  • Takes care of his wife

The main duty of a husband is to defend his wife from all threats and aggression, both physical and psychological. For a wife to feel secure, she must be taken care of or protected.

  • Unwavering love

Making sure the wife is emotionally pleased is the finest way to demonstrate unconditional love. Assure her, express unconditional love and respect for her, and demonstrate these feelings through daily actions.

  • Meets the needs of the house

It is necessary to meet the basic needs of food, shelter, and clothes. Additionally, as a woman will have different demands at different phases of her life, a husband should ascertain if she has any additional needs and addresses them.

  • Enjoys some alone time

A good husband spends time with his wife, taking her out, communicating with her, and learning about her hopes and goals in addition to providing for the family.

 

Husbands have important and varied roles in marriage and in raising families. Being a husband involves a lot of effort, tolerance, and unwavering devotion. A spouse should ideally be available for his family, taking care of their needs while also striking a good balance between work and family. It is advisable to put in a lot of effort as it will manifest in the home.

Ways To Heal From Trauma

While regaining full health and happiness can take some time, several steps can be taken to help the healing process. It only takes the knowledge that everything will be alright once more and that one can make their recovery journey successful to start the procedure.

Trauma is the outcome of a bad incident. It happens when a person is psychologically or emotionally wounded by an event, and it can result in post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD. An exceptionally painful relationship or breakup, enduring abuse, losing a loved one, and natural disasters are a few examples of traumatic occurrences.

The person concerned may be said to be experiencing trauma if there is even the slightest hint of shock, despair, anxiety, or feeling in any other way overwhelmed by an event like one of the following. Trauma is the body and mind’s reaction to an incident or experience, not the event or experience itself. It is vital to take efforts toward rehabilitation and minimize the harmful consequences and repercussions of traumatic stress as much as possible because it affects the brain.

Below are four steps that are helpful during a healing process.

  • Getting the appropriate aid

It is acceptable to look particularly for a trauma-informed therapist if the treatment seems like the proper course of action for the type of feelings being experienced to ensure the therapist can work with trauma and provide the best service. To discover understanding and be around people who have gone through a similar experience, it could be preferable to visit a support group.

  • Accepting help

The key to overcoming trauma is having the desire to recover and the acceptance of support and assistance. The healing process may end up being largely solitary, or it may involve a lot of group therapy or individual counseling. The best possibility of recovering fully is recommended if one is in the position to accept support, regardless of the natural course that it will take. Receiving help from family, friends, a support network, a counselor, or coworkers is wonderful. The key here is to adopt a mindset where it is acknowledged that others may probably be able to assist and where there is also a willingness to accept that assistance.

  • Taking care of oneself

Stress is decreased by practicing self-care. It feels wonderful, which is equally crucial. On the other hand, it is appropriate to engage in regular acts of self-love and care during the healing process. Simple, cost-free self-care activities are possible, and they may be practiced every day. The important thing is that self-care has a designated time.

  •  Having breaks

It may be discovered that stress levels are higher than usual or that despite having a lot of physical energy, the mind is not functioning as well as it should during healing. It takes a lot of energy to recover from trauma, and the best way to deal with low energy levels during this period, whether they be physical or emotional, is to be patient with the healing process. To maintain energy and prevent too much stress, it is advised to take breaks, especially when doing enjoyable things, to pause and reflect.
It is always advised to manage trauma in a very professional manner before it gets out of control, regardless of the outcome of this guidance.

Boma of Africa 2022 Live on Dominion Television

A PRECURSOR OF THE BOMA 2022

From extreme left: Fiona Achieng, Rita N.A. Arthur, Jesse Akosa, Nana A.A. Afful and Mark Atitsogbui

Following the Boma of Africa, which took place today, July 8, 2022, a precursor to the festival was hosted at the Dominion Television studios. The show’s hosts were Fiona Achieng and Mark Attitsogbui, both of whom are staff at the television station.

A session with some of Ghana’s promising youth

The guests, Jesse Akosa, a business development officer and trained data and financial analyst, Rita Nana Adwoa Arthur, a writer, poet, and filmmaker, Nana Akua Asante Afful, an artisan and second runner-up at the 2017 Ghana’s Most Beautiful, shared their opinions on a variety of themes, including but not limited to the changes they observed in their respective industries ten years ago as compared to the changes they hope to see in the next ten years, as host, Fiona Achieng remarked, “Ghanaian food is a work of art,” in addition to what they celebrate about Africa.

The team from Dominion Television went out into Accra’s streets in anticipation of the great event, Boma of Africa 2022, to find out what people’s opinions were. As they discussed why they believed corruption should be tackled at the festival, they praised the Boma of Africa as a fantastic event.

Boma of Africa; The festival of Ideas

The Boma’s first section was devoted to the establishment of a continental digital trading corridor to assist in the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement through terminal emulator interoperability systems across traditions of the AU Member States, a digital ecosystem of connected e-government and private apps, and a single online business repository and a social credit system for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and startups, as the Hub was launched by the President of Niger and AfCFTA Champion, H.E. Mahamadou Issifou.

Following a spoken word, Cynthia Gnassingbe-Essonam, Senior Advisor at the AfCFTA, gave the opening comments at the Boma of Africa, and Wamkele Mene gave the keynote address. More information on the AfCFTA’s role in integrating the African market was provided by H.E. Wamkele Mene, who also noted that the AfCFTA’s launch had advanced since the previous Boma with the help of the Afreximbank.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)

  • Based on the number of participating nations, the AfCFTA is the largest free trade area in the world since the World Trade Organization was established.
  • Among its many goals is the creation of an internal market for products and services, which has the potential to raise intra-African trade by 52.3%.
  • It intends to bring together all 55 African Union member states, spanning a population of more than 1.3 billion people with a developing middle class and a total gross domestic product of $3.4 trillion.

In keeping with previous Boma tradition, part two of the gathering included several dignitaries, including Heads of State, continental businessmen, and world thinkers, who discussed important topics affecting Africa’s long-term plan for structural transformation.

The discussion topics covered creative solutions to Africa’s current financial and supply chain issues, youth and gender empowerment, and the potential for cross-border trade and new technology to be resilient in the face of pandemics and resurgent major power rivalries.

The event’s peak occurred during its third segment. With assistance from international partners like the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Kingdom, Australia, The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), The United States of America, the European Union, the Government of India, Singapore, and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Africa CDC launched a continental eHealth backbone that brought together African Union departments and agencies, as well as its African Vaccine Passport module.

As part of their promotional relationship, the African Union and AfroChampions were in charge of organizing The Boma of Africa. The AfCFTA Hub Network and the continent’s business community were also sponsors.

“Dominion TV partnered with AfroChampions to broadcast this exciting event live on Dominion TV; Africa’s Christian Lifestyle Network for Inspired and Empowered Living. We believe such content will inspire our audience towards living a more empowered life and positively impacting their communities” – Nosisa Doe, General Manager, Dominion TV Ghana
