I just finished reading \u201cI am Pregnant\u201d by arguably Ghana\u2019s fastest rising blogger, Kwadjo Panyin.<\/p>\n

The blog tries to take the reader on a tour through a man’s mental composition at the moment the man\u2019s girlfriend, or sexual partner blurts out the dreaded \u201cI am pregnant\u201d phrase.
\nThis is my second time reading this article and I must say it is quite intriguing.<\/p>\n

\"cf90e874-2567-40a5-b081-2a00e578cf60\"<\/p>\n

Besides the fundamental point of it being a beautifully woven piece and does indeed allows the reader into the deepest recesses of a man’s faculties at the material time, it is also practically easy to relate to. I personally find myself living the story, having had to listen; just listen, to the excruciating story of a friend (not the proverbial) whose \u201csweet gentleman” suddenly turned the monster because she “stupidly” got pregnant.<\/p>\n

Kwadjo has some real time advice for the guys. He says, “Sex leads to babies. It is that simple. You had sex and a month or so later, here you are. It is not a mistake, it is not an immaculate conception. \u00a0The swimmer you unleashed in her is your handiwork. \u00a0Take responsibility immediately especially if you have no doubt that the baby is yours. She needs you to take responsibility to make the situation manageable for her. \u00a0Say the three simple words she needs to hear. \u201cI am responsible.\u201d Follow that statement with, \u201cWe will get through this situation together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"0ae5a21c-07f1-4a7d-88d3-e3a6062e1002\"<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t just advising, in my considered opinion. He had been there and knew what was right; at least from a man\u2019s perspective. And this is what makes Kwadjo Panyin, the \u201cbachelor\u201d relationship blogger a good read. He brings to life his experiences in his write ups. He unravels the challenges that confront his personal search for a partner in a manner that many can easily relate with. Interestingly, Kwadjo isn\u2019t just single, he was once married. And so when he writes \u201can open letter to my married friends\u201d, you should expect an intricate blend of perspectives.<\/p>\n

I am a woman and I have more than once tried to figure out what goes on through a man\u2019s mind during some moments. Granted, I would never be able to tell but for Kwadjo skill which makes it easy to tell through his use of simple everyday language that presents it as it is. Just checkout \u201c5 things men do not wish to hear during sex\u201d or \u201cLadies do you want to know what men think about your sex toys\u201d and you will appreciate my ranting about his writings.
\nI accidentally ran into the musingsofanafricanbachelor.com on facebook, and have since been an admirer. On the other hand, I wondered how long this man was going to stay single to write about bachelorhood. I didn\u2019t have to wait for long to read about his travels around the world, his culinary skills (or is it the lack of it?), and the poems (my favourite, \u201cOde to the African Queen\u201d). It is no wonder that over 27,000 others have liked his page in its very short span.<\/p>\n

Well, it isn\u2019t all about what men think, or heartbreaks and breakups. Kwadjo seems to love controversy too and so delves into notorious topics like \u201cthe problems with no sex before marriage\u201d rule. This however lands him the most bashes from the \u201cchrifs\u201d. Nonetheless his bluntness and say-it-as-it-is posture is admirable.<\/p>\n

And to think this is a man who blogs for fun. Currently based in Los Angeles, California, Kwadjo relocated to the United States over 20 years ago to pursue his education which led to the start of a career as a business professional with close to two decades of working experience in corporate America. He has a bachelor\u2019s degree and two masters\u2019 degrees.<\/p>\n

\"e541e332-ecfd-48dc-9918-1023d6ba5556\"<\/p>\n

Writing, blogging, world travel and photography are his favorite hobbies.
\nBe advised however, his long and winding style may put you off at first but once you start, you may not be able to pause until you’re done reading. They say narration is the hallmark of creativity, and he’s sure got it.<\/p>\n

I surely do recommend to you, a daily read of the relationship blogger, Kwadjo Panyin at musingsofanafricanbachelor.com.<\/p>\n
