OBSERVER'S CORNER

I remember when the issue of the Special Prosecutor came up many were of the view that it is a way of witch-hunting people within the main opposition party but from yesterday's vetting of the Mr. Martin A.B.K. Amidu there was a clear distinction that he is of the motive to fight corruption than imprisoning people for the various wrongdoing. Mr. Amidu, popularly known as Citizen Vigilante has given the right path to the the fight and how best the country can move on towards the path of development. Mr. Martin A.B.K. Amidu As a matter of fact, we will admit that the amount of money leaking through the hands of people in this country is very much huge to the highest degree. Most often than not leaders of the nation are not strong enough to fight the canker. As the nominee said, Ghana is not a milking cow for politicians to milk it shows his determination to stand his ground and adhere to the principles of truth, honesty, fairness and impartiality. He admitted that these are ...

I can not remember the very last time in a month without the nudity of another person. Ranging from the so-call celebrity to the less privilege in society all in the name of making money and becoming popular. In Ghana now, to be a celebrity in a second depends on how to sell your nudes to the society. Rashid Black Beauty became a celebrity in the single moment of time with nudes and today in the media and social media fraternity are the discussion of the nudes of a pastors wife and a nurse after the unfortunate kitchen stool leak.

I wonder what the world is turning into with all these brouhaha and flirting about with the nakedness of mankind. Sometime...

Where exactly is this driving at? The nature and attitude displayed by the Director-general of the Birth and Death Registry in Ghana makes it stink like the vapor evaporating from an abandoned latrine. The directive not to register certain local names because they are synonymous to titles are somehow unwarranted. Come to think of this. The registration of names like King, Queen, Prince and Princess are likewise titles. The question I like to ask is, are these allowed to be documented because of their linkage to the western world or better still our colonial masters?   These names are synonymous to Nii, Naaba, and the many others we have. Inappropriate of me, I feel disgusted and disgruntled when things of unnecessity happen in a country which is in dire need of economic freedom and mass development as well as massive industrialization are so attached to foreign cultures and influence of which they need emancipation from. Nepotism and corruption have become the bedrock of mo...
