Transforming our sense of wrong and right!

We face a serious moral dilemma that pervades all sectors of our national life. It appears that our sense of wrong and right has blurred to the extent that we cannot differentiate between the two. We seem to have lost the basic ingredient that serves as a guide towards the creation of an egalitarian society. We live in a society that encourages and glorifies lawbreakers. In addition, the society encourages the wrong more than it praises the good. To some extent, we seem not to know the difference between the two. This is applicable in all segments of the society from the family to the national level. We encounter this moral burden in the following ways: A society where the family values no longer matters. A society that encourages and does not question the source of wealth of an individual but exults and worships the individual. A society that lives in and believes in falsehood and deception.  A society that breeds individuals that have no conscious and only thinks of personal g...

What is so special about being a gay?

Image
Every living soul must praise the Lord. By living souls I mean those social humans who obey God’s Books, His laws and precepts. His testimonies are clear and impeccable. In the 21st century, nations have become disobedient. Immorality is now applauded and debauchery tolerated. The Holy Books are disregarded and sin is ruling the nations, where God is not glorified and magnified. In 1981, Martina Navratilova announced to the nations that she was a lesbian. Some people applauded her announcement with hilarious approval. In all those years there has been lacking the biological agglutination that makes the natural woman to glow. In men, the lack of natural outflow leads to confusion and irrational behavior that can only be cooled by drugs and alcohol. Is this the life that sensible people applaud? On 29th April, 2013, the NBA player Jason  Collins disclosed that he   had been gay. Some well-known politicians applauded his disclosure, with aplomb. What is so special ...

Lying with Impunity!

Untruth is the vicious opposite of truth. History unearths truths. The truth must prevail, even if the heavens fall. Untruth, no matter with what dexterity it is spoken and for how long, its glamorous colours will fade. Then, the liar develops shifting eyes as he or she loses honour and dignity. To establish the truth of the matter or the untruth in the matter, one must look at world history for some guidance. The truth is always supposedly on the side of the strong and powerful, because he can sustain his untruth with force. The strong men in primitive societies were powerful. The feudal lord was powerful. The emperors, kings and noble men were and are powerful. They organize armies, the police and military intelligence to be on their side. They create legislative processes to enable them affirm their interests and wishes and stamp upon them jural imprimaturs. Where one violates their interests, you have broken the law. The consequences rang from fines, prison sentences to the gal...

The Battle for 2016 Begins!

Image
There are professional politicians in Ghana, whose morbid preoccupation is with how to become PRESIDENT. This alluring obsession with power is insatiable and ill-defined. From our political history the following facts prove that Ghanaian politicians have succeeded in DECEIVING the people not SOME of the time, but All the time. This has been made possible by the prevailing ethos of docility and the acceptance of leaders, who cajole the political space with the singular ambition to be President. The painful part of the story about presidential pursuits in Ghana is that no sooner the person becomes President than he begins to focus, not on good governance but on how to be President in the distant future. They get away with it because we have a population that is totally indifferent to the primitive political culture that has prevailed in Ghana since 1957. Who are the political aspirants? These are people, who benefited from the CORRUPTION of the past years and so, have the means to p...

Break the Oppressor’s designs and give us peace!

For God is not mocked. What nations and people sow, they shall reap here and in the hereafter. So, what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and suffers the loss of his own soul? The floods will continue to overflow the citadels of evil, where God is not glorified. The winds will continue to sweep the covens of the wicked. The kingdoms of darkness will continue to collapse. The reign of terror will cease. The deep will swallow up the workers of iniquity. LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED that they see not; and make their loins shake continually. Let the song of the drunkard by silenced. Let their habitation be desolate. Oh Lord of all creation do not allow your enemies to destroy the human race with nuclear, chemical and biological weapons that are in the arsenals of states and with greed. Lord frustrate their knavery and establish the universality of your reign on Earth. All those, who create troubles for social humans on Earth, add iniquity to their iniquity and let them ...

Do not steal because the government hates competition!

Image
Why do we burn petty thieves and celebrate our politicians? Who is worse? A guy who pilfers a few pesewas to buy bread for his starving kids, or a politician who stole billions of Gh Cedis he doesn’t need? On whom should the stones of our anger descend? Who should we lynch? A thug, who to earn some bread for his stomach snatches a ballot box or the politician, who, pursuant to stealing our mandate commissioned and underwrote that heist? Who should the armed robbers visit? The poor hapless Ghanaians, who are not sure where the next meal would come from, or the Representa-THIEVES, who embezzled funds mapped for job creation for these youths? Why is it that the aphorism “Do not steal because the government hates competition” has remained the operative principle of our men of power in Ghana? Is it because we have empowered that with our silence, or because this cabal deploys the army and police force on any peaceful protest to break the will of the people and secure Ghana...

What Putin Has to Say to Americans About Syria

Image
By VLADIMIR V. PUTIN September 11, 2013 MOSCOW — RECENT events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies. Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization — the United Nations — was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again. The United Nations’ founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America’s consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The profound wisdom of this has underpinned the stability of international relations for decades. No one wants the United Nations to suffer the fate of t...

First day as a taxi driver!

A passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!" The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much." The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."
