It is not out of place for one to put that a *kilogram* of *experience* can not tantamount a *gram* of *wisdom.* In the sense that it's one thing having experience in something and another thing having wisdom. One may have experience in something but it will only take *wisdom* to drive the experience to a workable environment. So that's why a lot of people cry to have had experience in the space they occupy yet are described as *incompetent*
I have at least witnessed several political seasons on GIJ campus for four consecutive times (with the current one inclusive). It is however very frustrating with sorrow to notice that this hear electioneering period has been greeted with a lot of dirt, malice, mischief, gross disrespect, abusive use of languages, to mention but few.
Everyone writes to prove a neutral stance in the upcoming elections while making calculated and well thought out attempts to paint others to be black. In actual sense, it is only prudent to put on records that every single *student* ( *perhaps except most final year students*) has an interest (even if not made obvious as others) in this year's campus elections. Unless of course someone convinces me that he/she has no interest because the person in not bordered with *who leads him/her* or *who manages the dues they pay and how/what is been used for.*
However, inasmuch as one may have an interest, it is only wise that we don't in any way allow those interests to *override our thoughts and emotions* .
I have personally witness an instance where a student of a noble institute as ours contemptuously insulting and dragging someone's ( *including the person's parents* ) integrity so the cleaners all in the name of *students politics*. These circumstances I find very *alarming* and *worrying*. Disrespecting and insulting anyone that come their way forgetting there's life after GIJ's campus politics.
Another bone of contention that generates a lot controversies, thought provoking questions and leaves the younger students generation wondering where *wisdom* had fled to is the issue of *impeachment* ( *impeaching the SRC president* ).
This piece is not to justify either anything of the president or to project those seeking such relief from the *GIJ - Judicial Board* to have defiled any of the *constitutional requirements* as spelt out in *article 16* necessary for carrying out an impeachment process.
Sources have established that the *lead council* for the process is one *Nana Osei Agyekum Barima* who happened to be the *second in command* in the just ended administration (that was taken over by the Madugu-led-administration) with one *"internal resource person"* as the *"Info service provider "*
According to some critics, Nana Osei's administration performed relatively close to *poor* yet he has had the effrontery to be the *front man* when it comes to creating holes and meddling with the affairs of the current administration just to find mistakes, use them as fuel to engineer his ambitions and finally succeed to creating *students disillusionment* with the SRC.
I for one, I see Nana Osei to be the greatest threat to the current administration. Because from the very beginning of the administration, he has been very active in criticizing almost everything and try to feed people with words of his choice just to make the administration the worst of all time.
*Logically*, it makes no sense to be so busy piloting an impeachment process against someone whose administration is about ending in a *month* time or less. The countless question people ask is *whether the president has committed an offense so mighty as atrocity or child defilement that can not be solved amicably by dialogue?*
Their major argument is that they want to repair the broken wounds of the SRC......Interesting. This is like saying *you have wound on your leg so you are cutting off the leg to be free or to be standing on a heap of ants to remove those that have climbed you*.... *It just doesn't make any sense at all*
It is indubitable that they have the right right to do so, invariably however, it is equally essential to look at the repercussions this might have on the image of the institute. The *babies with sharp teeth and acidic tongues* who insults anyone who comes their way with due regardless, keep rejoicing that the impeachment is going to be *historical* and be in the school's records. I don't blame them because this is what happens *when one wears the lens of hypocrisy and the helmet of deceit and gross disrespect*
The school's name will surely go down the records but *certainly not on a good note* and its denouement would be such that such individuals can not anticipate.
For the *Presidential Aspirants* who have signed unto the *evil Impeachment black sheet* and those who have pretentiously decided not to know about it thinking it's someone else other than you, I just wish you the very best of luck but remember *our elders say if you see an animal on your neighbor, you ask it to stand up from the two of you otherwise when you ask it to stand up from only your neighbor, it will come unto you.*
For Nana Osei and his cohorts who thinks the only best way to resolve an issue is to impeach a *legally elected president*, my heart bleeds for them. *Just SRC you can not cope to address issues with dialogue and you impeaching people, assuming without admitting that you one day become a Minister of State and your government is subjected to perpetual criticisms over corruption, incompetence, high tariffs, misappropriation of the public purse, I'm convinced you will hire the services of boko-haram to flash out the president of the Republic*. ("Anyone whose last resort is impeachment is only a potential terrorist and a coûp d'etat ambassador", a colleague argued).
This is the alarming situation that has bedeviled our beloved institute getting a lot of social media ridicules and placing the school at the ends of national mockery.
I find it difficult to even say *we are the future leaders* as a result of evil practices of our generation but it is not too late to circumvent our ways and write the wrongs. I for one, like many others believe in dialogue and with it, in the words of Martin Luther King Jnr. *we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair*
*When you speak to a child full of wisdom, he understands it in proverbs, our elders say*
