What’s in a country where lives are worth nothing? What’s in a country where the leaders are busy fighting each other for the recent and perhaps the next general elections and care nothing about the citizenry? We move on as if nothing really happened? What’s in a country where socio-economic conditions have made young men and women easy prey to the machinations of religious bigots and politicians? Our dignity has been trashed, and our lives, well, our lives, are they worth more than the lives of dogs?

Def: Naivety: is the state of being naive - having or showing a lack of experience, understanding or sophistication, often in a context where one neglects pragmatism in favor of moral idealism. The political naivety of the masses comes largely from a lack of circumspection and a focus on people/events rather than deep analysis of issues. The political mass therefore are easily programmed by half-truths and outright falsehood repeatedly fed through the media and other channels of propaganda. One of the biggest indicators of political naivety amongst the masses is the whole concept of the North/South or Muslim/Christian divide. This is a division that politicians have promoted and so far succeeded in entrenching in the minds of a majority of Ghanaians primarily to remain relevant. We are naive to believe or even tolerate politicians that fan such embers of division in a country that so badly needs unity to move ahead. I do not see why we should get carried away by the tribe or religio...

Africans love power just for the love of it. Those Africans who possess the power never seem to use it for the benefit of the weak. The African man prefers to have power first rather than money, because he knows that when he gets the power, he can always effortlessly get the wealth later. He needs the power to deal with and be superior to his neighbours; he needs the power to oppress his people; he needs the power to perpetuate all kinds of evil and crime, hardly giving a thought to the repercussions or the end game that he himself would die one day; he needs the power to carry out revenge against imaginary and real enemies and rivals; he needs the power to steal audaciously from his people and country. That is the African man for you. The African leader misapplies and abuses power without a second thought. This is probably part of our genetic make-up. Put a uniform or any paraphernalia of authority on the African (male or female) and you have made him/her a mini-god. You have virt...

She holds it with her hand and tries to put it into the hole but it will not penetrate. Then she licks it with her tongue to make it wet and stand firm. She tries to put it in again and this time it enters smoothly .... It's not what you think, she's just trying to fix a thread into a needle, May God forgive your mind, what were you thinking?

A student failed in law and decided to make a deal with his professor: Student: Sir, do you know everything about law? Professor: Yes.

Your wife's boyfriend has failed in his exam and yet you have given him an "A", this is neither logical n...
