President John Dramani Mahama has humorously narrated how he met his wife, First Lady Lordina Mahama, during their days in Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO.

President Mahama explained that during his National Service, he worked as a teacher, and Madam Lordina was one of his students.

After that stage of their lives, their paths crossed again, and that marked the beginning of their love story.

"At the time, Lordina was in Form Four. I know the girls will like to hear this story. And so I taught her for my national service year, and then she finished GHANASCO and went and became a teacher in Juabeng Primary. And so when I came back and I met her again, she had finished school, and of course I was also a very handsome man, and so the rest is history,” President Mahama ended his narration with laughter while addressing guest at the 65th anniversary celebration of Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO).

Several other public figures have shared the genesis of their love story including Member of the Movement for Change, Hopeson Adorye, who revealed that he met his wife, Empress Gifty Adorye, at a funeral in the year 2018.

He made this known during their TikTok live session after Mrs Adorye clinched the ‘Best Traditional Gospel Song’ award at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

"I met my wife in 2018 at a funeral. A friend of my father had passed, and I was invited to the ceremony. At the event, my friend told me Empress Gifty was around. I joked that I was actually looking for her. When we were introduced, the moment she shook my hand, I didn’t want to let go," Mr Adorye shared.

Mr Adorye added that he was initially hesitant to pursue Empress Gifty after noticing a ring on her finger.

However, it appears they connected well despite his initial reservations.

Adding more context to the story, Empress Gifty disclosed that she had to return a car gift she received from Mr Adorye at a point in time in their marriage.

According to her, it was after she returned the car that Mr Adorye took a decisive step, visiting her family to formally ask for her hand in marriage.

“When he gave me the car, I took it home and told my mother. I also told her I was interested in marriage, not just dating. My mother told me clearly, ‘if it’s marriage you want, return the car.’ I listened to her advice and returned it,” she stated.

She said her decision to return the car turned out to be a turning point in their relationship.

“Just two days after returning the car, he came to my house and asked for my hand in marriage. That’s when we proceeded with the traditional ceremony. Sometimes, when you meet someone, don’t let material things cloud your judgment. Focus on building a future together,” she said.
