According to information gathered from a recent interview on a local radio station, the man, identified only as Joel, says he has been facing hostility from his girlfriend’s family simply because of his ethnic background.
Joel, who hails from northern Ghana, revealed that he had been in a committed relationship for three years with a young woman named Hannah, an Ashanti woman.
The relationship, according to him, had been peaceful until cultural differences became a major issue within Hannah’s family.
Speaking during the interview, Joel explained that the situation worsened after Hannah became pregnant.

Although he admitted that he was not financially prepared at the time, he said he accepted responsibility and supported her throughout the pregnancy.
“I stood by her before the delivery, during the delivery, and even after the baby was born,” Joel said during the interview.

“I did what I could as a man, even when it was difficult.”

He alleged that Hannah’s mother strongly disapproved of the relationship because Joel is a Northerner.
According to Joel, the disapproval went beyond insults and warnings. He alleged that Hannah’s mother had on several occasions made frightening threats, telling her daughter that she would rather see her dead than married to a man from the North.
Joel said these repeated threats have deeply affected Hannah, placing her under emotional pressure and fear. He believes this pressure is the reason Hannah has recently begun distancing herself from him.
“She is now telling me that I am not the father of the child,” Joel claimed. “She keeps saying I should forget everything and move on before something bad happens.”
The young man explained that this sudden change in Hannah’s behavior came after her mother intensified her opposition to the relationship. He fears that the family conflict may put both Hannah and the child at risk if it continues unresolved.
Joel added that he decided to speak publicly because he felt helpless and desperate. According to him, private efforts to resolve the issue within the family have failed, leaving him with no option but to seek public attention and advice.
“I didn’t go to the radio for attention,” he said.

The story has sparked strong reactions among listeners and social media users, with many condemning tribal discrimination, especially when it leads to threats and emotional harm.
