A young Ghanaian entrepreneur identified only as Otu has reportedly sued his ex-lover, Mercy Agyei, after she refused to marry him after years of financing her education.
The Tema resident claims he provided financial assistance throughout their six-year relationship, supporting Mercy's education, starting a business for her mother, and handling different financial commitments before she got a job at a bank in Ghana.

The journey of love
The couple's love life began in Kumasi in Ghana's Ashanti Region when Otu proposed marriage and funded Mercy's university study. As the romance proceeded, Otu moved Mercy to Tema at her mother's advice.

In Tema, he paid for Mercy's Higher National Diploma (HND) programme at the Accra Technical University (ATU) and her degree at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Otu also claims to have supported Mercy's younger brother and facilitated accommodation for her mother. However, the couple's love had an unexpected turn when Mercy informed Otu of her decision to end the relationship after securing employment at the bank.
Feeling betrayed and wanting reimbursement for his investments, Otu filed a GH¢350,000 lawsuit at the Kumasi Circuit Court. The lawsuit is reportedly pending, with sessions deferred until February 20.

He's done well. If men will be strong to fight this, women scammers will stop. This is a crime as far as our laws are churned.

Interesting story. There should be a lot more involved, including promises, else I don’t see marriage as a reward for supporting a lady’s education.
