Building The Ghana We Want.

In an event hosted by Former President John Mahama in Accra yesterday, he outlined the numerous measures that can be put in place as a matter of urgency to save Ghana's economy.

Notable amongst these solutions are;

Suspension of non- essential projects.

A greater transparency in public procurement.

Re- visit operation feed yourself.

Leveraging the energy and petroleum sector.

Government must stop collateralizing statutory funds for the purposes of taking in more loans.

Together we stand, divided we fall. With this school of thought at the center of his presentation, the visionary leader called on the entire citizenry to help save mother Ghana's collapsed economy.

 "while responsibility for the difficulties we face lie with Akuffo Addo and Bawumia's government, there are things we can do as citizens in our own small way to minimize the suffering we are going through and help government turn the situation around" he said.

According to him, as citizens;

we need to acquire and sustain a taste and preference for locally manufactured products. 

Cut down on non- essential foreign travel and expensive foreign products in our homes.

" let us consciously eat more of our local foods like yam,local grains like maize and rice, cassava, beans local fruits and vegetables" he added. He gave the "Gobɛ Eaters Association" a thumbs up for "eating" Ghana. This way we reduce the pressure on our own currency and boost domestic production to create a win-win  situation.

The people's manifesto of NDC in 2020 has these policy proposals and more and the NPP government is free to adopt it for the general good of Ghana.

We are in crisis! In building the Ghana we want,we must all put our heads together.Our very lives as a people are at stake.

"We must boldly,even if for the first time,discard the arrogance of power and don the cloak of humility,come together,confront our reality,face the truth,accept our fault and act" he said.

God bless our homeland Ghana and make her great and strong!

Ghana Police - Arise Ghana Demonstrators drama, a grounds rehearsal for election 2024?

By now, every serious political party aiming at winning 2024 general elections should be having sleepless nights crossing their T's and dotting their I's whiles doing some serious thinking about their fortunes at the next polls.

The drama at the recent Arise Ghana demonstration is undoubtedly a snapshot of what 2024 election is going to be like, take it or leave it.

You can decide to comfortably blame protestors for attempting to breech routes dictated to them for all you want, do not however deliberately forget that several reports indicated that efforts were been made by both known and unknown hands within government to stop the demonstration entirely. So when they failed even after attempting to use the court, a resort to the usual police brutality became the order of the day.

The police kept saying they've been given strident orders from "above" to prevent demonstrators from using a particular route to present their petition to the president. Who is that person at the ABOVE? Is it God or Allah? Jesus or Mohammed? Your guess might not be far from right.

In 2020, opposition political parties went to war with toothpicks, cup of tea without biscuits, comfortable slogans of flipping and flopping whilst their opponent went to the battlefield with guns, ammunition, military and police personnel armed to teeth etc.

Someone who was seeking reelection didn't shy to be horrendously violent and claimed seven innocent lives to retain his seat and no one got punished for all those murderous acts.

This same person has openly declared that under no circumstance will he hand over power to any opposition party and the same leaders of opposition parties are walking around, behaving and acting like "Mama Ba" and "Dada Ba" hoping to win 2024 election with such approaches because this government has failed woefully with distinction...... This is a joke of all ages!

This person we are talking about is synonymous to violence, he is exceptionally tyrannical, a benevolent dictator and has no respect for human rights and dignity so how do you treat such a person like you're dealing with either a Catholic priest or a Pentecost elder?

If any political party want to win 2024 election, they must really sit up, stand up to match up. As it stands now, there's no party that seem ready to match the brutal style of Ghana's Idi Amin because 2024 election will not be a joke taking a clue from the happening at the just ended Arise Ghana 48 hour  demonstration.

Da yie!

PRAY FOR UKRAINE & THE WORLD

As a student of International Politics & History, I have at least gathered lead ups to the current Ukraine-Russia impasse.

I honestly do not bother about who is right or wrong. The most important thing for me is that, regardless the full ranges of egoism, pompousness and power drunk positions at play there must be a compromise for peace and tranquility to prevail to enable precious lives and properties saved.

Intriguingly, it is the external forces who in the name of 5G,7G NATO whatever fueling this fracas who will enjoy the spoils at the expense of innocent Ukrainian citizens and foreigners.

I pray that, the God that delivered the Israelites from the hands of the Philistines shall deliver the Ukrainians from any externalities.

The world need peace!

NIGHTBIRDE, THE ANGEL IS GONE!

America's Got Talent remains one of my favorite shows. As a lover of music, last year it was such an exhilarating yet surreal moment & feeling watching Jane "Nightbirde" Marczewski sing passionately regardless of her then current predicaments. Simon Cowell's golden buzzer was enough attestation that Nightbirde was an angel.

She sent a very positive message to the world in her famous quote "you can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy".

Life will never be easy so everyone is reminded to make the best they can out of it by neither denying the challenges of today nor the hope for tomorrow.

I'm more than convinced that Nightbirde isn't dead, her beautiful soul hovers in the skies smiling and cheering up everyone who is facing any kind of life treating condition, fighting secret battles and anyone thinking of giving up the ghost.

For some strange reasons I've not been able to gather enough strength to write anything since her painful demise from this wicked world.

I do not only want to wish her farewell, but I want to equally celebrate her for being truthful, real, passionate and leaving a letter of hope and encouragement to the world.

May she transit to the next world in peace & tranquility until our final journey to our destination. 👏🙌🙏

@Jane NIGHTBIRDE Marchewski, my Woman Crush Wednesday ❤️
