The Proverbs 31 Woman describe that woman not in the strict sense of spirituality but a reference to any woman on this earth who no more .'stand behind the successful man' to be fed from the man's labour as the weaker sex.

Let,s get to know from the holy Bible what it is all about this breadwinner woman whose husband seems to have vanished into thin air in shirking his responsibility.

It begins from verse 10 of Proverb 31: Permit me to skip some of the verses.

Verse 10 : An excellent wife who can find ? She is far more precious than jewels.

Verse 11 : The heart of her husband trusts in her and he will have no lack of grain.

Verse 12: She does him good and not harm, all the days of her life.

Verse 13 ; She seeks wool and flax and works with willing hands .

Verse 14 : She is like the ships of the merchant ; she bring her food from far.

Verse 19 : She puts her hands to the distaff and her hand hold the spindle.

Infact her virtues are un- ending but let me end in the last Verse, That is verse 31 which says: Give her of the fruit of her hand and let hers works praise her in the gates.'

Is this woman living in the medivial times in Europe when the men wore shinning armor to engage in crusade wars in the middles East against the Arabs?

Or did she live in the time of Chirst,the Prophets, in ancient Maya empire, Nebuchadneszzer's kingdom ,the Hellenstic times, in Africa , The New World of American or where ?

The next question is: Can such a virtuous woman be found in our computer age ?If the answer is YES ,how do we re -write Proverbs 31 within the context of our age?

If the answer is NO , how do we describe the Today,s Woman?

When I read Proverbs 31, I have the urge to go Lucifer, sorry Satan way when he smuggled himself to heaven to join with the sons of God at a durbar with God.

Satan challenged God about the unmeasureable blessings he had showered on an earthly being called Job. ' it is because you have blessed that man hence he is obedient to you. Take his wealth and see if he would not deny you at the crow of the rooster. ' Satan argued with God in heaven .

I continued:' Bring her into our computer age . I mean computer age in Africa and Ghana in particular and see whether she can remain the true Proverb 31 woman you claim she is'

My wish was granted and clear reader we have the Proverbs 31 woman lifted out from the Bible and now married to Kofi Ghana man in the filth engulf capital city, Accra.

Kofi Ghana man is a middle income earning business man not concerned with what pertains with single spine, salary hulabaloo.

Mr. Ghana man and his family live in an envious mansion with all the amenities to be enjoyed by all. He has his personal computer of the latest model with his four children each owning a computer apart from their galaxies of mobile phones they sport.

Madam Proverbs 31 has been given lessons in how to use the computer in sending e-mails, browsing - and even read the bible from an iPod. Within five years of being in the cyber age in Ghana, she begins to lose her virtues as a wife to Ghana man.

I keep sending monthly reports about her to God. Read them verse by verse.

Verse 10: Excellent wife? No , she has been twittering , face booking and doing all cyberistic things on the computer with some Beijing white ladies who keep tutoring her on how to wear knickers in a show of power of cyber age women or as an ex-delegate to the 1995 Beijing conference.

Verse 11: The heart of her husband bleeds for her male chauvinistic tendencies especially on the matrimonial bed. When she surrenders to her husband for nuptitial bliss, she introduces weird styles only seen from the porns on her computer.

Verse 12: she is sometimes stressful and retorts back in anger when the man enquires about something. There was a time she struck a blow which nearly hit the man but for his quick reflexes to dodge.

Verse 13 : Now leavers the house chores to the house help and do long phone conversations with faceless entities.

Verse 14: She attends Aglow meetings every week ,goes to the Achimota forest every Wednesday for special prayers and comes back late in the afternoon only to start bashing the head of the house help for not doing this and that.

Verse 19: Goes browsing on the computer. Relaxes in the sofa as she watches Mexican soaps. In fact she keeps reminding her husband Kofi Ghana man about her human rights; her rights to wear any dress that fancies her, weird hairdos, apply several skin toning creams that has made her look like Tanzanian albino


She goes to many prayer camps for consultations and personal prophesies about who is collapsing her marriage in the spirit.

She attends church every Sunday with the husband but hardly does she read the Bible.

She has been elected Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana chapter of Beijing Women's Association and again as special assistant to the Prophet, Dr. Ohubibiara, the General Overseer of the Achimota Forest All Women Prayer ministry.

When I gave these reports to God about the Proverbs 31 madam, he only bellowed "No Comments."
