ONE BIG REASON

Am having a good laugh imagining  what went or is going through your mind upon seeing and reading the heading for this post, but I would fill you in right about now:

Simple but BIG reason if you ask me, reason for what? am talking about one BIG reason why I need to be making a lot of money, in other words, one reason why I need to get rich.

Seriously, I am unable to come up with that BIG reason but every indication points to a BIG reason. Maybe every other reason comes together to make that one BIG reason.

Maybe my PRESENT LIFE is the BIG reason; being broke on my birthday, being on LEAVE as a public servant and yet unable to go on a fun-trip, and even keeping up with the basic demands of a 21st Century life.

Chaley one thing is sure, and that is; I MUST DO SOMETHING. I hope am not alone in this dilemma, what do you guys think? or you think am worrying my head over nothing?

Please tell me something!

SO CALLED ‘WINNER TAKES ALL POLITICS’

I heard a tape of Arch-Bishop Duncan William on which as part of his sermon, he admonished or was admonishing the two big Political Parties in the country (Ghana) to find  a way around what he called ‘Winner Takes All Politics’.

He stated that he sees the practice as very dangerous to the sustainability of our Democracy, he explained by saying that the practice whereby a Political Party goes into election, loses out and has to stay four years in opposition amidst all the pain and hardship is untenable. He then in his admonishment called on the President, John Dramani Mahama, who was sitting in the congregation (I suppose), to think through the situation and find a way to bring others from across the political divide on board.

I wish to state that I appreciate the Arch-Bishop’s frustration because of how the Politicians have made the politicking to seem, but I dare say that the fact that we could agree or have agreed that it is a ‘Winner Takes All Politics’, is a wrong footing to take.

My take is that there should be nothing like a ‘Winner Takes All’ because there is not supposed to be a thing like that, the understanding that the terminology connotes cannot find space in our Constitution and should not be tolerated.

Think about it, what is ‘Winner Takes All’? Are Political Parties supposed to come to power to come take things? Are they not rather supposed to give? And what do they take or have to take? Are they not supposed to come provide or give good roads, good health, quality education, among others?

I think if our Political Parties do what is expected of them, that is, by thinking and working fervently to put the Ghanaian Economy on the right footing, irrespective of one’s political affiliation, one could do great in his business, profession or job. Political Power should not become a lucrative job-seeking avenue for political activists, it is supposed to be a service-giving avenue.

I hereby end by stating that the ‘Winner Takes All’ argument is a non-starter and must not be tolerated, Politicians are not supposed to come take anything, period!

THE HAND OF GOD

I once asked in a post for people to show me the hand of God in the affairs of Ghana, take a look at our Economic/Political history since 1957, we are where we are due to our actions or inactions, no hand of God anywhere, if you ever saw it, draw my attention.
Let me say though that if it is about going to heaven, i can understand, we should be thinking instead of sponsoring Pastors to Israel to go offer prayers to God.

A LOVE QUESTION (MASCULINIST)

A LOVE QUESTION (MASCULINIST)

It came to a point in my life where I concluded that ‘loving a woman’ is ‘slavery’. I felt so strong about this assertion to the point that I even espoused it to the lady I was ‘seeing’ at the time. I went like, ‘’…loving a woman is synonymous to ‘slavery’ in that you are ‘forced’ to do what you would ordinarily not do’’, I then made it clear I had that much love for her.

When you enter into a relationship with a woman you consider very beautiful; nice smile, tasteful figure, among others, at least according to your eyes, you would develop the kind of ‘slave’ mentality I mentioned earlier. I hope you concur.

So you begin to live the love-life, she is the only one, and ‘ceteris paribus’ you are the only one. You begin/continue to act your love for this woman, and from my experience, love is not blind, it is just a ‘spectacle’ or ‘glasses’ that helps you to see differently, most often beautifully.

Do not get me wrong, this write-up is not meant to show you how to love but rather to ask you a love question;

At what point could you say you have loved enough or have had enough of a particular love relationship and hence bring to an end the enjoyment in the ‘slavery’ of LOVE by calling it all off?
