My Take on Bawku Conflict

The dynamics of Bawku and other parts of the country's periodic conflicts must be looked at with a curious and microscopic lens to avoid compromising national security as well as human security measures. 

The politicizing of issues especially security with tribal and ethnic driving motives may create room for some actors to see the cracks in our national security architecture and try to capitalize on the weaknesses to strike. 

 Still, our democracy is not providing, the needed public trust when the adjudicating system is seen as the place where despots or supposedly powerful persons are assured of manipulative justice in entrenched social or cultural situations against fairness and balanced justice of the populace, the masses will start to take their salvation into their own hands. We need a strong and ensuring society where everyone has confidence in the system, their selves and others. 

As vigilante groups are gradually emerging in the West Africa sub-region either in self-defence or terrorism, this evidence clearly shows the lack of interest in the national security systems of the region. Prince Hasevi's Take on Bawku-Conflicts

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...
