….so if you are making out regardless of the place whether in your car or in your bedroom or in a hotel wherever, if you are making out and you make these same promises or more, in fact under that circumstances you are even allow to buy God for another person if you can or take a person to the moon but those once cannot be a subject of a suit. In fact, indeed if it became a subject of suit it will be thrown out most likely”.
“…but when theses promises are made in a normal settings that you are not compelled either by way of mood physiologically or because the person has her hand in your ears so these once there are with the intention to keep them and when you also make an attempt to keep some of them, then it indeed become a subject of a suit and you may be compelled to fulfilled them if it turns out that you intended to keep them”.
“And this one, there is a clear case of a car being bought, part of a rent being paid and indeed part of the stipend being paid, the other side has relied on it. You made steps to fulfill all these promises you cannot turn around and say you should not be expected to keep them, it will be very difficult for you to discharge yourself out of that”

Justice Abdulai said unless, Mr Nimako is able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that his promises were made on some benevolent basis and was not bidding on him to fulfill them, he would not be able to discharge himself.
