CELEBRITY We celebrate lives not clothes. We celebrate victories not make up. We cheer on confidence not deception. Celebrities: Our favorite movie stars, our favorite music artist, our great show hosts, our beautiful models and a lot more of you. We fell in love with your passion and talent for your work and not your wardrobe. Youth and kids eager to be like you. Millions of people follow you from across the globe on your social media platforms hoping to interact with you but all we see is how you change your wardrobe everyday, who we are to go see for our next make up session and designer clothes. We did not follow you for such things. Some Celebs You are killing our citizens with your lifestyles. You set competition in the youth with your wardrobe and luxury vacations enticing them to gain quick money to enjoy the lives you portray. Boys and girls under age sleeping with women and men old enough to be their grandparents for money just to feel a snap of the luxurious li...

GHANA BEYOND AID

Image
A GHANA BEYOND AID I got interested with one of the questions that was asked by Mr. Patrick Darkwa, a cost and management accounting lecturer of university of Cape coast, that “to what extent can Ghana be built beyond aid?" So, I started to work on it. However “Ghana Beyond Aid” got my attention again, when I realized that the sixty-one Independence Day celebration was themed with this topic used for this article. To share my opinion and knowledge on this topic, I say emphatically that Ghana can reach the level without aid if some of the things to be highlighted in this article will be attended to. For this I say because, we are not going to achieve the transformation in our economy, which is necessary for a Ghana Beyond Aid, by just talking about it. We have to do something about it! This country has long been getting aid from other countries like China, USA to mention but a few and more formal organizations like UN, WHO etc. Our first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, yea...

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

Image
DO WHAT YOU PREACH The feeling of something existing is basically known when that thing is experienced by someone and not hallucinated. What I believe is that if something has no name, then it doesn’t exist and thus means that it has no reality. Christianity is Christianity because it has an existence, that is there is something that shows that this person is a Christian and thus distinguishes it from any other religion. This means that the spiritual growth of a Christian is seen outwardly by what he or she does and says and not just by faith or believe that the person is a Christian. In the area of politics, fashion, dancing, education, music, movies, drinking and other social life activities, a Christian is found participating directly and indirectly in all of them. Involved directly or indirectly in all of them because if not the believer himself, the person can be a relation. This article seeks to reflect on certain things that we as Christians talk about but haven’t actual...

MY MARRIAGE! MY HOME & FAMILY

Image
MY MARRIAGE! MY HOME AND FAMILY Many institutions have been established on planet earth and one of the institutions that has both physical and spiritual establishment is marriage. Marriage contains unique and interesting potentials. As one bright optimist put it, “marriage is the only game of chance in town where both players can win or lose!” The relationship grows along with them. If you can see marriage as an opportunity for growth, you can be satisfied and satisfy your spouse. Basically the Christian view of marriage is not that it is primarily or essentially a binding legal and social contract. The Christian understands marriage as a covenant made under God and in the presence of fellow members of the Christian family. And this however, explains why marriage is an institution established both physically and spiritually. In this article we are going to look at some seven areas of concern in fulfillment of my marriage! My home and family. My Marriage! My Home and Family – T...

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Image
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AN ASPECT OF ACADEMIC INTELLIGENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT IN LIFE “Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.” - Edward de Bono Academic intelligence has most of the times in our society being measured and valued with respect to examination. One can term intelligence as the ability to learn and comprehend. Our measure of who is intelligent depends more on giving expected and appropriate answers rather than showing any initiative or creative spark, this is probably the reason for the clutch of third class degrees accumulated by such luminaries as Michael Morpurgo, W. H. Auden and Carol Vorderman. The problem of measuring intelligence per exam is that it is an inadequate guide to human capability, and that many of the ways we use to measure working intelligence are woefully inadequate. Surely those we should be seeking to identify and ...

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

KEEP MOVING FORWARD Are you flying? Or you are running? Are you hopping? Or you are walking? Are you crawling? Any of these questions reveals the pace in which someone's life may be on the going. The most important thing one need to understand from these questions is that no matter what the situation may be, don't stop but *KEEP MOVING.* In this article I share with you things that we need to be aware of to keep moving in life as described in a speech by Martin Luther Jr. "This is the most important and crucial period of your lives, for what you do now and what you decide now at this age may well determine which way your life shall go. And the question is, whether you have a proper, a solid and a sound blueprint. And I want to suggest some of the things that should be in your life's blueprint. Number one in your life's blueprint should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your own worth and your own somebody. Don't allow anybody to make you feel that...

CORRUPTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA

CORRUPTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA The nation’s development effort has being thwarted by many factors within its environs. These factors are numerous to mention but for the purpose of this write up my focus will be on corruption as a major factor hindering Ghana’s development. The state of the nation’s development now should have been great and better than it is now against all odds. As compared to the development of some countries in Africa which Ghana is far ‘older’ than. In the words of former Prime Minister David Cameron some years ago, he said, ‘As long as African businesses remained collectively blemished by this ‘fantastically corrupt’ label, few investors will invest in African companies and more Africans will remain unemployed and poor.’ This article seeks to make it clear that corruption does not emanate from an invisible source but the canker is as a result of attitudes and interest of all citizens. However a collective effort by all Ghanaians will help curb the situat...
