What Ghanaians are saying
Sorkpor Che Tsatsu commented:
It will end in tears. U were not a Christian. U only fill forms asking for religion with Christianity. No true Christian who had an encounter with God can change faith. It is one thing to be a Christians and another to have an encounter with God that will change ur life completely.
Zedkizzy indicated:
You should be the one to convert her to your religion as the Man of the house, because you lead while she follow. I prayed she don't rule over you
She is just still your "girlfriend" . And you are converted to Islam because of her. So let's look at the other side of the coin, that a guy of your age and standard should have reasoned. If things don't end up working well with both of you, you gonna be converted back to??? Also remember that religion is a spiritual call not just any kind of invitation . Stop walking in and out of religions my people.

Arsenal fans tell Thomas Partey he would make a waste his years at the club
Ghana international, Thomas Partey was told by concerned Arsenal fans that he would waste his prime years of football with Premier League giants Arsenal.
The 27-year-old super midfielder joined the Gunners from Spanish La Liga side Atletico Madrid during the recent transfer window and made his debut against Manchester City.
Although Partey came off the bench against the Citizens, he was unable to save the Gunners from a defeat as Raheem Sterling's goal gave Guardiola and his men the win.
