THE PROBLEM WITH AFRICAN LEADRES

Clearly some months back in 2015 the minister of power of Ghana, Dr. Kwabena Donkor assured Ghanaians that he was actually going to curb away the power crisis that has crippled the economy of Ghana making it difficult for businesses to grow and promised as well to resign if he does not do so by the end of the year 2015. The fact of this matter is that the minister again has come out to state emphatically that the load shedding cannot stop completely and thus he has shifted the timeline to April next year making it difficult for Ghanaians to believe him anymore.
I clearly remember back in the days of military rule in Africa and Ghana most of these junta Leaders never wanted to step even when they failed to deliver what brought them to power. looking at the military government that toppled the civilian governments in 1966, 1972,1979 and 1981 never thought of stepping down all because the power that they enjoyed came with benefits and this is exactly what is happening in Ghana now. 
The power minister in his position enjoys some benefits and hence never want to step down and continue to postpone his resignation from post as promised as this is would be the third time he has postpone it.
Someone reading this will attribute this piece as being from someone inclined with the opposition but not so, it is rather from a person, more or less a concerned citizen who takes his motherland at heart and always want to see it progress at greater heights and be seen once again as the gateway to Africa as in the days of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the darling boy who is a great hero of Africa.

A Connection Beyond First Impressions

It was incredible how easily we clicked during our second encounter! Our first meeting was a bit awkward and tense, but I could tell she was just unfamiliar with her surroundings. Despite that, I couldn't help but notice her kindness and beauty, especially those smiles that never seemed to fade. We all couldn't help but sneak glances at her, trying not to get caught in our admiration. During our second meeting, I tried to keep my distance at first, but it was impossible. I found myself right in the middle of things, helping out, and there she was, offering her assistance despite being busy. We ended up having a deep conversation, sharing our experiences. Her lovely French accent and her passion for life struck me. I couldn't help but wonder why such a beautiful woman would choose a life of celibacy. The only explanation I could come up with was her strong faith in God. To my surprise, I later met her father and realized that their warmth and ability to bring joy to others w

Paths Intersected: Stories of Serendipitous Bonds

People come together in various aspects of life for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes, the circumstances surrounding these meetings can be a mystery. However, these encounters often blossom into moments of profound connection. One such instance is the bond that is formed between a group of individuals. The memories of our meeting places still linger in my mind, as vivid as the taste of freshly tapped palm wine. I distinctly recall a time when I had to relinquish a cherished position due to the negative comments of those around me. It was a pivotal moment when I was called back to resume my role, as those who had temporarily taken over realized the challenges it entailed. I view this as a divine intervention. Despite being asked to take full control, we became effective partners in our work. I humbly sought their guidance, which provided me with invaluable learning opportunities. Another significant encounter occurred when I felt compelled to seek a unique connection with the Divine. I

When Kindness Feels Like Home

I was thrilled with the incredible treatment I received from her! She opened my eyes to the fact that someone outside of your family can care for you so deeply that it feels like magic. This realization came at a time when I was feeling almost helpless, but she showered me with love and care that lifted my spirits. Initially, I thought her kindness was due to knowing someone I knew, but I soon learned that she treated everyone with the same level of compassion, regardless of their connection to her. Her generosity and warmth truly touched my heart. There was a moment when I saw her looking tired and stressed, yet she still managed to help others without hesitation. I inquired about her and the praise I heard filled me with pride for knowing such an amazing person. I am endlessly grateful to her and will never stop expressing my gratitude. She is truly one in a million, and I have realized that family is not just about blood relations.
