32 year old Kojo the bachelor sits solemnly at the bar sipping akpeteshie. His married friend Kwame enquires from him what the matter could be.
"Kwame, I can't believe I'm still single at this age. I have a stable job, a house, I'm good looking and friendly, yet unmarried."
"Is it because you are shy of women? I can't understand it myself because you are a good catch."
"Well, the issue is, my mum says no to every girl I bring home."
Kwame mused over what Kojo had just said. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Ah ha. I think I have a solution to your problem."
"What do you suggest?", Kojo asks.
"Find a girl just like your mum and she won't object".
A few weeks later, Kwame meets Kojo and decides to enquire about his relationship status.
"Did you try the suggestion I gave you?"
"Well I did, and my mom loved her".
"Nice, that's a relief. Means you've got a girlfriend now".
"Nope", says Kojo.
"Why not?"
"My dad rejected her".
