Election 2012: What i saw!

Election 2012: What I Saw! I must tell you from the onset that the people i have met and interacted with as part of my job in the lead up to the 2012 Election are generally hopeful for a better future and are willing to do their bits. December 7 came and Oh My God, what a beauty to behold? as an NCCE observer, i had the rare privilege of staying close to the polls and watching the conduct of the electorates. The hearty chats, the respect for order, respect for the aged and the sick, and most importantly the tolerance shown; bear in mind majority of these persons knew where their friends and neighbours votes would go, yet they shared smiles with another. Even though am confident in saying that my outfit did so much to ensure people understood the process of voting, the Election day proper taught me the difficulty people have in appreciating some of the basic rules. I therefore request that the NCCE be provided the room to do on the spot voter education on thumbprinting, among others, it is not that easy for people i must tell you. I believe you agree with me that Elections are not the most important aspect of Democracy, but rather how the Democratic process could be used to deliver Development to the people. I urge that this remains the focus, so that when we go back to the polls the next time round, we would have had our lives improved because of Democracy. Merry Christmas to you all, and i pray the new year gives our Democracy some more impetus!

No One Knows Tommorow

can man really be so careful, life seems to be taking its own course and all we do is our bits, nothing more. it hurts so much to have one's dreams and hopes totally shuttered, uncertainty is so certain, am talking about the Connecticut shooting and it hurts so bad!

THE COLLAPSED MELCOM BUILDING INCIDENT

THE COLLAPSED MELCOM BUILDING INCIDENT

I have a deep sorrowful feeling anytime I hear of death...whether it is the loss of a relative or not, I just am not able to take it easily at all, it is a hard one for me.

This has over time necessitated within me some resolve; Before I share that, can we end all of these? Whether you fall sick and die, grow old and die, or are involved in an accident, such as that of the ‘Achimota Melcom Incident’.

I would tell you what, and I hope it is not too weird a thought; let us stop procreating so that the rest of us get to die, and that would be it!

I know you know as I know that these tragedies are daily happenings and the fact is we can never be too careful, so why don't you buy into my idea? It's not a weird thought, its reality, please think about it.

I wish survivors a speedy recovery and to those who kicked the bucket, I say RIP!

WHERE DO YOU BELONG?

I remember in the 2010 Population and Housing Census, when it came to Religion, I chose ‘other’ and in filling the details column, i wrote ‘Non Religious’. I wish i had come to talk about my state of thought on religion fully.
But briefly i will state my stance, i believe in God but i no longer attend Church, maybe i will in the near future. The thing is, i have not found the need to. I do not believe good health, jobs, good spouses or wives, electoral peace, among others could be found by praying and attending church.
That is just by the way, i will cite two examples of religious or denominational belongingness then you could tell me where you belong:

If you were or are a Jehovah Witness, the fundamental belief is that Humanly Governments can not and would not do any good to the future of this world. Jehovah’s Kingdom on earth is the only assurance of a life of bliss. If you belong to the group that envisage a Heaven above the skies other than an eternal life of bliss here on this very earth, forget it! you do not belong.

If you were or are an SDA, the fundamental belief is that all humans would require a Seal of God to make it to the Kingdom of Heaven, and getting this derives from following the Ten Commandments, and most importantly The Sabbath (4th Commandment). To the SDA, the Seal of God is the opposite of the Mark of the Beast, so you ‘aint’ Sealed, you ‘aint’ chilling in Heaven.

Hmmmmm, so i’m just ‘thinking on paper’ and asking, when it comes to the things of God and Religion, where do you belong?

WHERE DO YOU BELONG?
