So Africans thinketh!

 Excellently, so a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. So we Africans thinketh in our hearts, so we are. God's giving wisdom is not in teaching our children to blow in tongues to pass exams or academic excellence.

Our lives revolve around a system that is developed or we developed. Chinese, almost 100% do not believe in our Christianity but develop our microphones or equipment or coats or almost anything we used to serve our acclaimed heavenly God, so who is doing God's work?

Our religious institutions are the same as our political institutions, so we are doing the same things no different. Over 60 years of independence, we still depend on prayers for jobs, or grace for any opportunities which some do not even exist. When people want to be different, then we develop our religious messages around that to claim they are the demons.

God does not exclude Africans from technological wisdom or whatever, they do very well in an environment that is conducive to breeding their talents not with myths turning into reality while reality turns to be our myths.

We want to go to heaven, so we prefer potholes on roads, people use mercury to pollute our environment and food chains when we eat and fall sick then we turn to pray for God's healing or miracles, and we refuse to develop basic creative skills or business skills but prefer to pack church buildings to pray for miracles or jobs or praying against what we call witchcraft while we cannot resist government or people who destroy our environment or society with their corrupt interests.

We are what we feed our minds and bodies with. God is no longer dropping mythological manna, it is the ability of human beings that create their healthy or unhealthy society.

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

Image
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...
