Cries of Ghanaian Professional Graduate Teachers over Upgrading! By Abdul-Latif Ahmed

I am a teacher in Tamale. I have been appalled and demoralized by the discrimination of professional graduate teachers in this Country. I have worked very hard to get and keep my job, investing thousands of Ghana cedis into my education. After doing cost-benefit analysis, I knew I would never make back, with my teacher's salary even after upgrading, yet I'm been denied upgrading, but I did it anyway because I love teaching and I wanted to be the best teacher I could be. Professional techers are now been demoralised with a policy fuelled and driven by sheer jealousy and envy. How can there be a policy saying, some subjects been taught in our high schools, are not approved for upgrading let alone study leave. I don't want to believe this is a government policy, but silence they say means consent. This is a policy fashioned out by frustrated teachers who have all of a sudden become administrators and want to hold on to their positions but feel that the young professional t

A letter from a daughter to her dad!

A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on de centre of de pillow. It was addressed, "Dad". With de worse premonition, he opened the envelope and read de letter with trembling hands. Dear Dad, It's with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'm leaving home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend, Jimmy, bcos I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Jimmy and he's so nice to me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too- even with all his piercing, tattoos and motorcycle clothes. But it's not only de passion Dad, I'm pregnant and Jimmy said, that he want me to have de kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Jimmy is much older than me (anyway, 42 isn't so old these days, is it? ) and has no money, really these things shouldn

The puppy pianist!

A guy walks into a club with a puppy. The bartender said, "get out of here with that dog". The guy said, "but this isn't just any dog, this dog can play the PIANO". The bartender replied, "well, if he can play, you both can stay... and have a drink on the house". so the guy sits the dog on the piano stool, and the dog started to play. The bartender and patrons were enjoying the music. Suddenly, a bigger dog ran into the bar and grabbed the puppy by the scruff of the neck, and drugged it out. The bartender baffled, he asked the guy, "what's that all about?" The guy replied, "oh, that was his mother. She wanted him to be a DOCTOR".

There was this couple, that was married for twenty years, and every time they made love de husband always insisted of shutting off de lights. Well, after these twenty years, de wife felt this was stupid. She figured she would break him out of de crazy habit. So one night, while they were in de middle of a romantic session, she turned on de lights. She looked down and saw her husband was holding a battery operated pleasure device. She got extremely upset. "You impotent bastard" she screamed at him, "how could you be lying to me all of these years? You better explain yourself". De husband looked at her straight in de eyes and said calmly, "I'll explain de TOY, if you'll explain de KIDS".

Two Attorneys!

At this point a man at de back of de court stood up and shouted, "you dirty rat" De judge asked de man to sit down and refrain from making noise. De judge continued, " ...and that also in september you're accused of killing your son too with a hammer, how do you plead that one too". "Guilty", de man at de dock said.

She also replied, "well, I suspected my husband was having an affair, so one day, when I came home early from work, I look all over de house, trying to look for de other woman bcos I saw my husband naked.

What is politics?

A little boy ask his dad, what is politics? Dady says, "well son, let me try to explain it this way, I'm de bread winner of this family, so let's call me CAPITALISM. Your mom, she's de administrator of my money, so we'll call her de GOVERNMENT. We're here to take care of your needs, so let's call you de PEOPLE. The nanny, we'll consider her de WORKING CLASS. And your baby brother, we'll call him FUTURE. Now think about that and see if it makes sense". So de boy goes off to bed thinking about what his dad told him. Later, he heard his little brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that de baby had soiled his diaper. So he goes to his parents room and finds his mother asleep and father missing.

Happy Birthday Boss!

A man turned 40 and expecting that his family and friends will remember his birthday and possibly have little presents for him. As it turned out his wife barely said good morning to him let alone wish him happy birthday but de kids, they'll remember he said. His kids came trampling down de stairs to breakfast, ate their breakfast and never said anything. So when he made it out of de house and started for work, he felt pretty dumpy and despondent. As he walked into his office, his secretary said, "good morning boss and by de way happy birthday". He felt a bit better. At noon his secretary said, " you know it is such a beautiful day and your birthday too, let's go out for lunch, just you and me". He said thanks and went out with his secretary. She took him to a quite bistro with a private table. They drunk together and he enjoyed a tremendous meal. On their way back to de office, she said, "you know, it's such a beautiful day we don't

Death- from the womb to the tomb!

You know, when ever people use the word death, they use it like a whisper. They'll say, he or she died. We use it for somebody else and even when we see people dying in a war, been killed, even when we're entertained. We lie to ourselves because they're only actors. They're not good as been killed. They're only acting. So the scenario of death, doesn't even come to us. It doesn't really reach home. You're busy piling up, calculating, developing your carrier, your money, your occupation, your wealth. Until you visit the funeral. Think about it, when was the last time that you went to a funeral or grave? Was it your mother, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin...? When you went and saw that person whom you loved, that was laughing, crying, boasting, wealthy, educated, denied arrogant, what ever they were. What was the demeanor of the people when you walked into that funeral. Where they cracking jokes, dancing, clapping, singing. No! Silence, melancho

Then I say No & then he'll slap my face & give me a black eye" Teacher:- Tonight when your dad asks again, keep dead quiet & don't answer. The folowing morning Johnny comes back with a severe black eye again. Teacher:- My goodness why the black eye again? Johnny:- Dad asked me again, Johnny are u sleeping? & I shut up & kept dead still. Then my dad & my mom started moving, you know, at the same time Mum was breathing eratically, kicking her legs up frantically & squealing like a hyena on the bed. Then my dad asked my mum, 'are you coming'? Mum said, Yes I'm coming, are you coming too? Dad answered:- Yes. They don't usually go anywhere without me, so I said, wait for me, I'm also coming.

Three babies!

There were three babies in a womb, and they were discussing what they would like to be when birthed and grown up. The first one said "I wanna be a plumber." The others laughed at this, and asked "why a plumber?" He replied, "So I can fix the pipes in here, its kinda leaky." The second one said "I wanna be an electrician." The others laughed at this and asked "Why an electrician?" He replied, "So I can get some lights in here, it's dark!". The third one said "I wanna be a boxer." The others thought this was hilarious, and laughed for a full five minutes, before asking, "Why in God's name do you want to be a boxer?" He replied, "So I can beat the hell out of that bald guy who keeps coming in here and spitting on us!!!
