Woes of Africa, Stanza Twelve, Unaware Two

"Who cunningly shoot to kill or suppress or shrink us to their sacks. When our hunters turn to pretend as our solace and hope. How will sheep know whether their shepherds are keeping them for milking or slaughtering or just to feed and grow to develop muscle and reproduce their kinds?" When you discover a trap and you do not inform your neighbors, you are also under snares, your freedom will be limited. We share our environments with each other, so whatever affects others around us subsequently affects us as well. The web of our relationship is wider and longer across every horizon of our lives. Let those who can discern, discern and help others to see what cripple us and our ability to progress. Faith does not limit our mind of reasoning but rather gives meanings to our reasoning in conformity with divine wisdom and principles.

Some Practical Solutions to Nigeria's Terrorism

These extreme capitalist issues are very complex ones. We were told the private sector is the engine of our economy but this assertion is not entirely true. If our state institutions are not doing well private sector cannot create a healthy economy but more illicit businesses through abusive and corrupt use of state machinery.  In our part of the world, those who venture into the private sector mostly get a lot of support from state officials or some even use their offices to divert state funds into private businesses due to our glorious nature of corruption.  The carnage that is ongoing in Nigeria has now gone beyond the power of the Nigerian populace because every part of the State has been captured by some political elites and their cronyism with organized crime networks, they are more fearful even than custodians of national security.  Their powers transcend the borders of Nigeria due to their illicit wealth and businesses. In extreme capitalist markets, it is all abo...

Volta Region the last hope of Ghana

Anytime I come across news letters in any form whether on social media or live TV shows. I become wildly sick and begin to ask myself several questions.   A nation where administration of law or order as well as justice has multiple sources or channels but failed in every single steps to create sustainable ecosystem. Even, the one our heavenly father has given us, we have failed to manage them and sustain them for our future wellbeing.  Artificial custodians of our natural resources have drawn blurred vision in keeping the roots of naturally healthy system like our water bodies have polluted beyond reversed turgid and induced with toxins to extent that even aquatic lives are suffocated and cannot experience mercy of air from their creator. Our farmlands have become desolate without oasis, even trees and shrubs are struggling to make abode, where our supposed foreign exchange earner, cocoa has met its last breath.  Moving across Ashanti region to Western region a...

Treating Foreign Ministry as Goldfields

   Currently, I wrote an article with the title "Ghana Must Work" which expounded on concerns for Local Governance reform that will enforce accountable and inclusive development. This will involve creating more rooms for Assemblymen/women to play dual roles in the Assembly system by encouraging independence of their works while contributing to the decision making process for more holistic assessments since they are the true reflection of their communities as well as the District. One of the very critical issues facing Africa as well as Ghana is our inability to create enduring and motivating systems that encourage our young graduates to stay and work in the continent. Gradually, we are losing our highly skilled youth workforces to advanced economics, some migrate through further study and remain abroad indefinitely without contributing to the GDPs of their root countries.  Although, our system may seem uninspiring at a certain stage of our youth development, it contribut...
