ECG NONSENSE!

ECG NONSENSE!

So my android phone is off, stew, ice kenkey, and vegetables wasted because my fridge is off, my television and radio have been taught a lesson, i can't even remember what an iron is used for, my computer's long lasting battery could only last so long, so it shouts for help as well in this utter nonsense by the Electricity Company of Ghana.

Have we not had this too many times? that the least reported damage to a VRA equipment or something of the sort throws the whole country into darkness. In this case, the Electricity Company of Ghana, operating in the Afram Plains only announced to the public the cause of the light out two days into this nonsense, and the explanation is that there is a problem with the VRA sub-station at Nkawkaw and that they are doing all they could to fix it. Now it is three(3) days and counting living in and with this nonsense!

It is interesting i hear the utility providers including ECG are eyeing an increase in tariff so as to improve on quality. My question regarding that attempt is to all of you; have we seen an improvement in service delivery from the ECG since they last increased tariff for same reason?

I know next to nothing about Power Generation and Transmission but i guess i can make one little comment, that ECG in particular should ensure some good level of 'proof', be it water, wind, or fire proof to some good degree, so as to spare us these frequent outages due to one change in the weather or the other.

I hereby conclude by thanking the World Vision ADP, Afram Plains, for granting me access to their privately powered Electricity to be able to put together this post even as i charge my phone, and finally call on the ECG to bring an end this NONSENSE!

BLOGGING AWARDS

So I’m here wondering, what does it take to win a Blogging Award? Is it the level of readership a blog enjoys, the content of the write-ups posted, or what exactly?
For me, I remember very well what got me into blogging in the first place; it was the fact that I felt very different and that whenever there was or is a social discussion, an event, or a happening of a sort, I almost always get to the point where my take on the issue is so clear to me and often very independent of what the masses’ take on the said issue is. So I felt, why not blog? It would provide the opportunity to express my opinion, even on issues that do not have to do with my immediate life circle and it could be accessed by all.
I therefore took to blogging and have since been speaking my mind. I got to know about BloggingGhana in the process, and it seems blogging is no joke.
Let me just end it here by emphasizing my feeling towards the Blogging Awards. I feel like, ‘me koraa’ how much blogging have I done to warrant nominating myself for an award? But I know one thing for sure; that Ameyaw Debrah has the passion that every blogger needs, he has shown that in his works and hence deserves an award. At least I see that, though from afar!

GOOGLE GOT ME INTO TROUBLE

'GOOGLE' GOT ME INTO TROUBLE This is it: i was on watsapp yesterday, 05-01-2013, and whiles going through my contacts i came across the contact, 'friend', then i asked myself, how? i saw the profile photo, it was female. Then i proceeded to find out how come i got her(supposedly, could be his) contact, so i 'watsapped' her. you can imagine how the "who is this" question was thrown at me right? fast, quick, and in short hands. I tried to explain but before i could finish, i had a real hostile response, then followed by 'whatever', which she shorthanded "waheva". i hear 'whatever' is the ladies equivalent for 'Fuck You', not sure though. Then the real deal began, before i could say Jack, i was called a "Sick Boy", never got angered, i was in a good mood and was with Kodjo, a 'Koti'(Police) friend of mine so we just laughed things off. But i said to myself 'aaaaahhhh', then i went to check the contact details, there i realised a 'g' attached to her number, then upon some few search i saw that it meant she was/is my google+ friend, how could 'google' do this to me? i do not remember asking google for android adding my nearby google+ friends to my watsapp chat list. How could you, Google! Putting the Google bit aside, what would make a woman go that hard or furious, is it stress, bad experience, nature or what? I hope though that it's not what am thinking. That was it ooooo, i bore you Google!
