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!

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?
