Ghanaian Taxi Driver Says Poverty Forced His Ex-Wife To Divorce Him “It Was Love In The Beginning”

A Ghanaian man revealed that his longtime wife left him when he became financially unstable.
The taxi driver told SVTV Africa that having five children hurt his finances.
He thinks his wife's patience would have improved his finances.

A Ghanaian man recounted his failed marriage.

Speaking in an interview with vlogger DJ Nyaami on his YouTube channel, SVTV Africa, Mark Tawiah, a taxi driver by profession said he settled down with his ex-wife in 1995 after they had their first child.

Our marriage took off smoothly

He admitted that at the start of the marriage, neither of them showed signs of leaving, especially since he could support the family.

“At first, she didn't want to leave, but when the kids increased to five that's when things changed” “The pressure on me was getting too much and all my earnings were going into the upkeep of 5 children, so it got to a time the hardship was too much and she couldn't handle it anymore,” he said.
Mark Tawiah said despite the divorce he is on good terms with his ex-wife and frequents her home since all the kids now live there.

“I went to see my kids this morning as I speak with you, we don't have an issue, I am pained that she could not have a little patience and recall that I was in a good financial standing when we first met,” he said.
