OBSERVER'S CORNER

This centers on the issue of Libya where Qaddafi was overthrown in a brutal way. Today, Libya, the once golden city has become the pathway for slavery. Just like the Salaga Slave market in Ghana, Libya has become the abode for cruel human treatments. As young as we were in primary school, African Union day was memorable and joyous moment because we went on break and reflected on the glorious achievements of the union. We were often told about Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda, Jomo Kenyatta and the many freedom fighters who led the liberation struggle of Africa. Today same cannot be said about this single body that stood against imperialism because it has become a stumbling block and full of vague promises. The once vibrant union has now turned out to be a puppet of the west and whoever stands against it is deemed an enemy of the west. What then has become of AU, the body that justified the overthrow of Qaddafi? Silent on the matter because their paymasters have sealed their ...

The title may be wrong but the information is as correct as the new dawn light. Waking up to the news of the voluntarily resignation of Robert Gabriel Mugabe brings to mind the brutal overthrow and killing of Murmar Al-Qaddafi of Libya and the illegal overthrow of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically. (Mugabe) Permit me to spring in some history which I know many know from primary school. Dr. Nkrumah, the founder of modern Ghana was illegally overthrown by imperialists of the West and power-drunk citizens of the nation all in the name of being a virtual dictator. What many failed to understand was the fact that he was safeguarding the sovereignty of Ghana from being swallowed by the so-called "human rights activists" of the West. Undoubtedly, the best African president after Dr. Nkrumah, Qaddafi was given the same chase d...

When it comes to music Ghana has experienced and still experiencing great musicians with no doubt that most of them doing their best to put Ghana in the world map of theater arts. When the likes of Obrafour, Sarkodie, Samini, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, etc are mentioned the music arena is filled with the good sensation of good and outdoor life. Yolanda Video Shhot When music is proclaim in universities, there is one name that most often cannot be escalated from the minds of Ghanaians about the boy form Takoradi who is rising faster to become the next Afro-pop singer in the terrain of Ghana.  Vested with good lyrics and flow is the sensational singer, Justice Kwesi Arko, whom most know as Mojae has always thrilled fans with songs like Mama Pray For Me, Yolanda, Hold You Down and many more.  Ohemaa yet to be released as a birthday package is the real deal that makes one to describe him as the new music icon to put Ghana on the map without no magical workings. ...

Usually when I sit to ponder on the dressing of some tertiary students especially girls, it feels disgusting. Usually most of these girls either do not know their left from right or are following the crowd.  It will be very bad my side to sit unperturbed about the issue since it goes a long way to affect each and everyone in the negative sense because of the fact that it does not sell best the image of the country. In time past, University of Ghana was considered the school with uncouth dressings but now most of the tertiary schools are fighting to destool them  and assume the position of the baddest in the country.  Taking a look at the mission universities, not all but few, my heart sinks with pain to the way and manner the dress to class exposing either parts or all their God-given features to the world with the motive of seeking attraction form the opposite sex. What a mess! Often, most of the girl students forget that they attend schools with people alrea...

Education they say is the backbone of every economy and that to be successful you need to go through education at one point in time which is the basic truth of life. A country that has gone through massive infrastructural development in no doubt has a working educational system as compared to the underdeveloped ones. What is education? Educational is the training and inculcating into an individual or group of people the ability to do something. It is also the ability to learn and acquire skills through observation and training. This training can either be what is termed formal, informal or semi-formal.  Education in life has three things to do, thus, to train the heart to love, to train the mind to think and the hand to work in the fulfillment of education's priority of making life better for all and sundry. The basic fact of the educational system in Ghana has been a problem in disguise rather than solving the problem of life. Ghana's education has failed to train ...

Democracy in its essence is the best of governance in the absence of nothing better but in its practice has become a flaw. Democracy is the system of governance where the views of the citizens are taken into consideration when decisions are been taken in a way to affect their lives. Abraham Lincoln defined it as government for the people, by the people and of the people. Hence when decision are been made it should be in the interest of the people. From the birthplace of Democracy, Athens, it is well established that it is the rule or governance by the people. In those times all members of voting right meet to take decisions that affect themselves not in this modern times where participatory democracy is not practiced. In modern societies and countries, the democracy been practiced is what most people term as Authoritarian Democracy where the views of the people are not considered. They are only consulted when the need arises for elections to be taken place. Legislators are rep...

Over time Ghana sports has depreciated in quality with the attitudes exhibited towards it over the past couple of five or so years. This many blame on the institutions overseeing the field with the view that they have lost control and have always been caught ball-watching in the discharge of their duties. I remember when growing up as a kid in the early 2000s and mid 2000s where sporting activities were delight to watch even when busy with extra pressing activities but so I cannot be said in this time of technological advancement where sports could be on rampage for viewership yet this is the time where the direct opposite is occurring at a highest momentum without brakes to haul it. Sports in those days were the backbone of many schools. It gives them the bragging right over their arch rival but these days being on top of sports is nothing to write home about making the activity a useless one. At the basic and secondary school level various field and track events were been or...
