WIND OF CHANGE!

There's a wind of CHANGE blowing across the globe... Those changes won't come by itself like manna falling from the Heavens.... It would be kingly dependant on the readiness and willingness of the people, chiefly among them includes the Youths, Farmers, Teachers, Health Workers, the Security, SME owners, Importers & Exporters, Entrepreneurs etc to work effortlessly and expediently to embrace such circumventions.

This is not just any mistaken change anchored on well calculated lies and complete deception. But one that inspires hope, promises decent jobs for the teaming Youths, one that's expected to be driven on the tenants of an all inclusive governance, one that allows institutions to fully operate in an aura of self independence, respect for one another and one that finally allows media freedom.

One of such changes is expected to transpire within the political landscape.

One of such greatest political upset is about to occur, hopefully tomorrow in the United States.

From Arizona to Massachusetts to Wisconsin, everyone is fired up to EMBRACE CHANGE!

Arrest and prosecute Secessionists, if gov't's hands are clean.

Whenever there's a very essential national discourse under deliberation, that's when the so called Secessionists and their allies rear their ugly head.

It is now crystal clear that this is a decoy and well crafted orchestrations by some crooked and coward elements within the the structures of National Security to always steal away attention from national matters.

If your guess is as good as mine, you'd come to terms that these are part of the plots to justify the heavy military presence within those territories during the voter registration exercise.

If we should play by the devil's advocate role, we can without any modicum of doubt foreshadow a possible new military deployment and further, the chains of curfew placed on the necks of people within those communities as electioneering period draws nigh.

If rule of law and it's enforcement protocols haven't been mortgaged for self aggrandizement and parochial gains, such groups should be arrested and prosecuted with immediate effect, for they're criminals and nation wreckers.

Let's not be blind by political gains and be hiding behind government machineries to cause harm, but approach every issue with a sense of nationalism.

This is a national subterfuge with political motivations, its needless!!!

The People's Manifesto (NDC) Or The Four More To Do More Manifesto(NPP)?..... The Youths Stake!

Around the world, young people have played a crucial role in a multitude of social and political movements and transformations.

With a retrospective glance at passionate young people from any era, you'll find impressive catalysts for change.

When we look at some of the most powerful movements or protests across the globe, it's evident that they were fueled by young activists who're poised at both socioeconomic and political circumvention.

From the Parkland Students to the Arab Spring, teenagers and young adults have an undiluted history of pushing for social change.

The Civil Rights Movements (Alabama Marches), the Arab Spring, the Vietnam War Protest, the Tiananmen Square (pre-democracy Movement) and the Indigenous Water Rights Protest for instance. These are at least the five(5) most powerful movements or activism fueled and anchored on the tenant of Youth readiness, determination and strive to restore human dignities.

Currently, Ghana has a young age structure, with approximately 57% of the population under the age of 25.

This age structure denotes more than half of the entire Ghanaian population falls within the category of “Youths”.

Significantly so, it suggests that whatever decision the government of the day takes through policy implementation, it directly affects us more than the others in the age structure.

Intriguingly, it has however been quite unease for many political parties to directly engage the Youth of this nation in drafting their Manifestos and other key policy documents.

As it stands now, the two major political parties in Ghana i.e. the NDC & the NPP have launched their Manifestos.

This is the time for us to come together as young people and sit at the table of reasoning where patriotism, sense of purpose, love for nation and the urgent need for youth development overflows.

The dawn of Election 2020 draws nigh and it's our “call-to-duty” responsibility to critically examine, analyze and peruse both Manifestos. There's therefore the need to among other factors consider which of these two policy documents is geared towards JOB Creation, ACCESS to Primary Health Care, support for Private, Tertiary & TVET Education, support Ghana's Entrepreneurial Spirit, Small & Medium Scale Enterprises, Legalize and Regulate other means of Transportation, Youth Development, to invest heavily in Infrastructure Development and allows All-inclusive Governance to thrive.

With this, we would be able to embrace the political party that truly has the interests of young people at heart, to consider which Manifesto outlines key policy initiatives to transform the lives of young men and women and finally endorse the political that appreciates the fact that young people are the catalysts for our future's breakthrough in technology, innovation, artificial intelligence, agribusiness, finance, telecommunication, cybersecurity, anti-terrorism and nation building.

I couldn't have agreed more with Micaela Iron Shell-Dominguez, when she emphatically said “The Youth Are Tired Of Thinking They Don't Have A Future”.

This is our time, let's take up the moment and make the best out of it.

Let's make decisions that's best for our future and generation yet unborn would be proud of. Decisions that would neither shutter our dreams nor truncate our ambitions but those that would bring us joy, prosperity, peace and tranquility.

CHOOSE WISELY!

THE PRODUCTS OF A POISONED TREE; THE STUDENTS IN FOCUS.

As a nation, we need serious educational & institutional reforms to clean up the mess created.... With what is happening currently in our SHSs, the sad rhetorical question we need to ask ourselves is that, is this not the actual reflection of our current societal and institutional realities?

Taking bribe is considered normal, when journalists bring to light judges who accept inducements (supposed gifts) to compromise on rulings on sensitive issues, they're persecuted for which some have to run into exile & those who fell prey to the system got murdered....

When young people openly insult sitting and even former officers of state, it's considered opposition and when party or gov't Militia groups or Vigilantes assault, brutalizes and intimidate innocent citizens, authorities remain mute like they're deaf and dump!

This is the end product we're currently harvesting as a nation... The gross misconducts of these SHS students....

The sad reality... The ills of our society and nation....

(Punishments to students)

14 students who were identified in various incidents to have insulted the President or other school authorities were have been dismissed and going to be disallowed from partaking in the rest of the WASSCE exams...

In as much as I do not condone with the indisciplines of the students, I however hold an entrenched opinion that the decision to expel & disallow them from partaking in the rest of the WASSCE exams is arbitrary and one in bad faith.

I believe there are many punishments available to have been given to such irresponsible students who may only have been apprentices of a crooked society that has lost scope in its good moral fibres, to reform them... But certainly not punishments that will truncate their future ambitions regardless the justifications....

This boils down to the fact that, there must be a conscious effort at having a national conversation on educational reforms and institutional reconstructions......

The educational issues must be tackled from its root cause........

May we build a future that those after us would be proud of and be grateful to us.....

Possible, Together!

AKUFFO ADDO IS A HYPOCRITE AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE VIGILANTE (INVISIBLE)FORCES

Many people have severed various levels of injuries whilst others have lost their precious lives as a result of military & militia brutalities & molestation meted out on innocent citizens who wanted to protect their citizenship by registering for the New Voter ID.

Up till now, the president of republic "His Royal Majesty" the President hasn't uttered a word....

Predictably, we know he would tweet long thesis hopefully tomorrow to commiserate with #Lebanon for the unfortunate #LebanonExplosion .

We're not saying he's not right to do so, but that will only amount to sheer hypocrisy, open endorsement of the tyranny of the military intimidations and lack of respect for the people of Ghana.

When history recounts of your greediness, recklessness & wickedness towards your fellow humans and nation, your descendants would struggle to make you relevant in the eyes of younger generations by altering the history...... Today is Founder's Day..... People are fighting for non-exising recognitions.....

Think about it..

WE'RE NOW LIVING IN THE ANIMALS KINGDOM.

For the name politics, we're gradually losing our sense of reasoning & purpose... We're literally living in the Animals Kingdom where survival is dependent on who's most fit.

In our instance, it's about who has no shame & conscience to trumple upon another to claim either superiority or rise to the apex.

It's about who can malign the other to claim nationality or citizenship over the other to show they're more Ghanaian than others.

Due to our divergent views over political ideologies of which many do not even understand the one they myopically follow, your fellow countryman can look at the sun back to your two eye balls to proclaim you're not a Ghanaian.

MCE for Ketu South, Elliot Edem Agbenorwu for political expediency sake just like many others, feels he's more Ghanaian than his very own kinsmen. As a result, he feels he's at the best position to determine who is a citizen or not, most offensively among his fellow countrymen.......

Fellow young men and women, this is the ills we must fight with a united front. So that our sons and daughters would not be told,some years to come, that they aren't Ghanaians by their fellow tribesmen.

This is why we must all step out in our numbers, to register and help others register as well. Since this is going to be one of the sick logics of being recognized a Ghanaian and have the opportunity to exercise our franchise come December 7.

Let's be each other's keeper, until we all win!

SHALOM!

Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang’s Electrifying Speech, Inspirational, Lucid and Heartwarming - Voice of Women.

Throughout history, the central role of women in society has ensured the stability, progress and long-term development of nations. In today’s world, women with their ambitions, intelligence and strength have proved that the word “competence ” has nothing in common with their gender.

In the global struggle to get more women into high political office, Former President John Mahama and the NDC have shown a shining example by this wonderful nomination and has indeed respected women. Leadership is about character and substance and Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang depicts that and even more.

27th July, 2020 will go into annals of history as one of the brightest days in our country’s political history. A day one of the major political parties outdoored it’s Vice Presidential candidate who happened to be woman, not just a woman, but a woman of great attributes, a well distinguished public servant, astute, calm , decent and visionary. I was amazingly proud to watch her eloquently deliver her first major maiden public speech to the nation,her oratory,depth ,demeanor and delivery was impressive.

Women have been notably in fewer numbers in the executive branch of government. The gender gap has been closing, however, albeit slowly, and we are still underrepresented.Politics is a "matrix of domination" designed by race, class, gender and sexuality.But it is trite knowledge that the political participation of women have always resulted in tangible gains for our democracy, greater responsiveness to the needs of citizens , unity and inclusiveness.

One of the many profound statements I took from her impeccable address was when she said “What really matters is not to be the first through the door but to hold the door for those behind you". This was not only inspiring , but fulfilling. A clear intention and vision to support women empowerment and make available opportunities for us all. All over the world, participation of women in formal politics has been low compared to men. Gender inequality within families, inequitable division of labor within households, cultural attitudes about gender roles further subjugate women and limit our representation in public life. Our interest and empowerment as women have been under-presented because our society is highly patriarchal.

Kofi Annan noted, “study after study has taught us, there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women. This buttresses the relevance of our women and their impact to the development of our nation.Women’s participation in politics helps advance gender equality and affects both the range of policy issues that get considered and the types of solutions that are proposed. Research indicates that whether a legislator is male or female has a distinct impact on their policy priorities. There is also strong evidence that as more women are elected to office, there is a corollary increase in policy making that emphasizes quality of life and reflects the priorities of families, women, and ethnic and racial minorities.

As a woman myself and an advocate for women empowerment over the years working hard to support my fellow women and the girl child through my foundation and philanthropic activities, I have no shred of doubt about the competencies and relevance of women to nation building and development. I am highly elated by this new path that has lightened up our political landscape. Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang brings freshness, maturity and decency to our body politics. In her we have a passionate, honest and competent mother, scholar, and Vice President for Ghana. I am happy to be part of history by registering and voting for the NDC.
