Don’t blame mothers for failures - First Lady, Daily Graphic May 17

The First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama, has expressed her discontent at those who blame and abandon their mothers and grandmothers for being the cause of their adversities in life.
"Accusing and blaming our mothers and grandmothers for our woes and adversities in life and banishing them to a life of neglect is unacceptable," she said.
She said individuals needed to take responsibility for their failures and actions instead of blaming and casting away their mothers and grandmothers.

Presentation

The First Lady made the remark when she visited the Gambaga Witches Camp in the Northern Region to interact with and also present some items to the women there.
The items included wax print, plastic bowls, rice, beverages, drinks, used clothes and oil.
The First Lady, as part of her trip to the Northern Region, also visited Tamale and the Anfaani Children's homes and donated assorted items to them.
The items included bags of rice, tin tomatoes, diapers,mosquito nets, gallons of oil, drinks, cartons of milo beverage drink and nido powdered milk.
Mrs Mahama described the plight of the women at the camp as a national tragedy and, therefore, stressed the need to help the women in the camp to be re-integrated into society.
"The neglect of a segment of the society will only retard the development of our nation," she stated.
