Entertainment journalist reacts to Apostle Lilian's marriage
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment journalist and author Vanessa Bless Nordzi addressed the debate over John Kumah's wife remarrying.
"When this issue emerged, I first thought of the late Major Mahama's wife. Her husband died many years ago, but I am sure that if today, she decides to marry, she would get the same reaction as John Kumah's wife. When it comes to women marrying after their husbands' deaths, it's always the same conversation. But a man's wife can die today, and he will get married next month. So this conversation is very delicate and should be treated as such," she said.
