The full speech of the former President Jerry John Rawlings at NDC delegate congress in Kumasi, 2011!

By -
"Mr. Chairman, Mr. President and the Vice President, Nananom, members of the Council of State, members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of the security agencies, delegates, party members and supporters, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen": "I would like you to join me in congratulating our new President for responding to an urgent request I made to him to use his authority to help provide street lights to a few villages where a spate of killings - which have increased drastically over the past year - have been taking place with well anticipated impunity. "I had tried over the past year or more to draw the attention of some personalities and state institutions to the brutal killings, especially of women. I almost got the impression that some authorities did not want the re-emergence of these killings to be made public for reasons best known to themselves. Some of the opposition media however exposed it". "While I am grateful to the President f...

Law 44: Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect!

By -
The mirror reflects reality, but it is also the perfect tool for deception: When you mirror your enemies, doing exactly as they do, they cannot figure out your strategy. The Mirror Effect mocks and humiliates them, making them overreact. By holding up a mirror to their psyches, you seduce them with the illusion that you share their values; by holding up a mirror to their actions, you teach them a lesson. Few can resist the power of Mirror Effect. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

The email!

By -
An Illinois man who left the snow- filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Ghana. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly woman whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: DEAREST WIFE: JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW. YOUR LOVING HUSBAND P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE

Law 43: Work on the Hearts and Minds of Others!

By -
Coercion creates a reaction that will eventually work against you. You must seduce others into wanting to move in your direction. A person you have seduced becomes your loyal pawn. And the way to seduce others is to operate on their individual psychologies and weaknesses. Soften up the resistant by working on their emotions, playing on what they hold dear and what they fear. Ignore the hearts and minds of others and they will grow to hate you. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 42: Strike the Shepherd and the Sheep will Scatter!

By -
Trouble can often be traced to a single strong individual – the stirrer, the arrogant underling, the poisoned of goodwill. If you allow such people room to operate, others will succumb to their influence. Do not wait for the troubles they cause to multiply, do not try to negotiate with them – they are irredeemable. Neutralize their influence by isolating or banishing them. Strike at the source of the trouble and the sheep will scatter. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 41: Avoid Stepping into a Great Man’s Shoes!

By -
What happens first always appears better and more original than what comes after. If you succeed a great man or have a famous parent, you will have to accomplish double their achievements to outshine them. Do not get lost in their shadow, or stuck in a past not of your own making: Establish your own name and identity by changing course. Slay the overbearing father, disparage his legacy, and gain power by shining in your own way. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Petrol station!

By -
This morning Hon Naporo drove into a petrol station in his sleek, state of the art range rover sports: Naporo: guy, abeg give me full tank (in Dagbani language) Attendant: I only speak english, sir. Naporo: Ok brother, good morning. I currently feel a profound desire to replenish the propellant of my motorised automobile. Therefore I cordially request you to transfer from your subterranean reservoir a sufficient quantity of the combustible fluid of the highest octane rating to fill the appropriate receptacle of the said means of perambulation to the brim. Attendant: bros na play I dey play o, my name na Dawuni, you fit talk am for Dagbani!

Law 40: Despise the Free Lunch!

By -
What is offered for free is dangerous – it usually involves either a trick or a hidden obligation. What has worth is worth paying for. By paying your own way you stay clear of gratitude, guilt, and deceit. It is also often wise to pay the full price – there is no cutting corners with excellence. Be lavish with your money and keep it circulating, for generosity is a sign and a magnet for power. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 39: Stir up Waters to Catch Fish!

By -
Anger and emotion are strategically counterproductive. You must always stay calm and objective. But if you can make your enemies angry while staying calm yourself, you gain a decided advantage. Put your enemies off-balance: Find the chink in their vanity through which you can rattle them and you hold the strings. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Tightening one anothers belts!

By -
Every year many leaders come to us with the same advice to tighten our belts because there are tough times ahead. It sickens and insults most Ghanaians because we have memories of nothing but hard times during the reigns of these vultures. They are getting richer, accumulating more and burgeoning out of their belly with unnecessary fat while they tell us our reward is in heaven. Sometimes they think they are talking to their children about dry spell ahead after filling their bags with money the past year. Here we are, wishing that this year will be better than the past one and then come these politicians interrupting our prayers, warning us of more of the year before. It is a case of a full belly telling the hungry man to take heed. Hmmm, ibe so my Dagomba man say, na poor I poor no be craze I craze o. You know, many Ghanaians have resigned their faith into the hands of the lords and that is why religion is a good business to get into these days. The religious leaders seeking...

Law 38: Think as you like but Behave like others!

By -
If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 37: Create Compelling Spectacles!

Law 36: Disdain Things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best Revenge!

By -
By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. The more attention you pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it. It is sometimes best to leave things alone. If there is something you want but cannot have, show contempt for it. The less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 35: Master the Art of Timing!

By -
Never seem to be in a hurry – hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 34: Be Royal in your Own Fashion: Act like a King to be treated like one!

By -
The way you carry yourself will often determine how you are treated; In the long run, appearing vulgar or common will make people disrespect you.

Law 33: Discover Each Man’s Thumbscrew!

Law 32: Play to People’s Fantasies!

By -
The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes for disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert: Everyone flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 31: Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards you Deal!

By -
The best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the other person a choice: Your victims feel they are in control, but are actually your puppets. Give people options that come out in your favor whichever one they choose. Force them to make choices between the lesser of two evils, both of which serve your purpose. Put them on the horns of a dilemma: They are gored wherever they turn. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 30: Make your Accomplishments Seem Effortless!

By -
Your actions must seem natural and executed with ease. All the toil and practice that go into them, and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed. When you act, act effortlessly, as if you could do much more. Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work – it only raises questions. Teach no one your tricks or they will be used against you. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness!

Law 27: Play on People’s Need to Believe to Create a Cultlike Following!

By -
People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something. Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow.

In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 25: Re-Create Yourself!

Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life. The 48 laws of power!

Law 24: Play the Perfect Courtier!

The perfect courtier thrives in a world where everything revolves around power and political dexterity.

Law 23: Concentrate Your Forces!

Conserve your forces and energies by keeping them concentrated at their strongest point. You gain more by finding a rich mine and mining it deeper, than by flitting from one shallow mine to another– intensity defeats extensity every time. When looking for sources of power to elevate you, find the one key patron, the fat cow who will give you milk for a long time to come. The 48 laws of power! By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 22: Use the Surrender Tactic: Transform Weakness into Power!

By -
When you are weaker, never fight for honor’s sake; choose surrender instead. Surrender gives you time to recover, time to torment and irritate your conqueror, time to wait for his power to wane. Do not give him the satisfaction of fighting and defeating you – surrender first. By turning the other check you infuriate and unsettle him. Make surrender a tool of power. The 48 laws of power!

Law 19: Know Who You’re Dealing with – Do Not Offend the Wrong Person!

There are many different kinds of people in the world, and you can never assume that everyone will react to your strategies in the same way. Deceive or outmaneuver some people and they will spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge. They are wolves in lambs’ clothing.

Law 18: Do Not Build Fortresses to Protect Yourself – Isolation is Dangerous!

By -
The world is dangerous and enemies are everywhere – everyone has to protect themselves. A fortress seems the safest. But isolation exposes you to more dangers than it protects you from – it cuts you off from valuable information, it makes you conspicuous and an easy target. Better to circulate among people find allies, mingle. You are shielded from your enemies by the crowd. By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 17: Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability!

By -
Humans are creatures of habit with an insatiable need to see familiarity in other people’s actions. Your predictability gives them a sense of control. Turn the tables: Be deliberately unpredictable. Behavior that seems to have no consistency or purpose will keep them off-balance, and they will wear themselves out trying to explain your moves. Taken to an extreme, this strategy can intimidate and terrorize. By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 16: Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor!

Too much circulation makes the price go down: The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear. If you are already established in a group, temporary withdrawal from it will make you more talked about, even more admired. You must learn when to leave. Create value through scarcity.

Law 15: Crush your Enemy Totally!

By -
All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation: The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit. By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 14: Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy!

Knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead. Better still: Play the spy yourself. In polite social encounters, learn to probe.

Law 13: When Asking for Help, Appeal to People’s Self-Interest, Never to their Mercy or Gratitude!

By -
If you need to turn to an ally for help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance and good deeds. He will find a way to ignore you. Instead, uncover something in your request, or in your alliance with him, that will benefit him, and emphasize it out of all proportion. He will respond enthusiastically when he sees something to be gained for himself. By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 12: Use Selective Honesty and Generosity to Disarm your Victim!

By -
One sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of dishonest ones. Open-hearted gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most suspicious people. Once your selective honesty opens a hole in their armor, you can deceive and manipulate them at will. A timely gift – a Trojan horse – will serve the same purpose. By Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Gov’t Intervenes As Court Orders Auctioning Of GHANASCO Cars

By -

The Northern Regional Director of Education, Mohammed Haroon Cambodia has confirmed government will be paying a staggering GHC400,000 as judgment debt to a private citizen in order to stop the auctioning of vehicles belonging to the Ghana Senior High School in Tamale. Government is offering the bailout following a chronic transport difficulty that has hit the school for the last two years after a court order impounded the only bus for students and a brand new official pickup vehicle. Two Nissan patrol vehicles belonging to the Education directorate were also taken by the court. The vehicles were confiscated to be auctioned to pay up salary arrears of a former headmaster of the school who accused the school and education service of injustices including inappropriate dismissal and concealing his promotion letter. Late Lionel Mahama was dismissed as headmaster of the school in 1997. His salary was blocked for years until a CHRAJ ruled in his favor and ordered his reinstateme...
