OBSERVER'S CORNER

Free shs is one of the prudent ventures that the current New Patriotic Party Government has initiated as a social intervention programme to help boost the educational and literacy rate of the average Ghanaian citizen so as to increase the level of productivity which will in a long round improve the economic status of the country. The project was has increased the chances of the Akuffo-Addo led administration to stay relevant in the eyes of parents yet the good has turned bad. This is because the haste initiated project is has hit the rock hard crushing to its minimal point of which when checked not will lead to chaos in the aftermath of the four year tenure. Free shs has generated a lot  of controversies in regards to educational materials and being no expert in academia and economics little exposure to facts on ground has made it possible to voice out some reasons that may or may not contribute to the success of the programme. First of these reasons is the fact that

I vividly remember this as if it happened just a day ago. The issue of tribal politics has never been something I admire and would never admire. Under the previous NDC government led by John Dramani Mahama a lot was said about his appointments by the then opposition NPP as family and friends government because of the fact that most were from the northern part of the country. He was labelled insensitive on that yet his accusers have resulted in the same game. Just as the sun was setting and the dust settling the current government have in its appointment have appointed to the most sensitive positions in the country with the latest been the appointment of former PNC chairman and father in-law to the vice president who has his son already appointed to the second highest post in NADMO. What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander. 

Ever since the issue of free senior high school (shs) emerged from the dust I did not put across my opinion on the matter. I believe solely that the free shs is a laudable social intervention program which when implemented and sustain well will provide the best platform for all Ghanaian citizens, who one way or the other face the challenges to enroll their wards in the academic realm. Despite its very best, I have a diverse opinion about the issue on the grounds that there are many people who can also afford the fees of shs hence there was no need to make it free for everyone. This social intervention program could have been auctioned out to the poor in society through effective research on the background of the various students in the basic schools to find out who and who have problems in payment of fees and apportion the social intervention program to. The case of the matter at here is the restoration of trainee teachers' and nurses' allowance. This in its totality is

We live in a society where morality is believed to be of high standard yet our actions and inactions ecpose us to the generation not yet born as devil incarnate.  by: Kokoih John Kennedy Our moral consciousness has fallen apart with the rise of the many atrocities befalling us as a nation when it comes to covering our nakedness. This makes one sick when we accuse the Europeans of bad moral habits yet forget about our stinking immoral attitude. Not long ago the nation was plunged into a state of mourning with burning of markets to suicide then when we were recovering another unfortunate incident of mob action robbed the beauty of our hospitality towards one another. This mob actions make one to think deep within his or her subconscious mind whether we love others more than ourselves which incidentally goes against the the commandment of Christ Jesus. The attitude of this unacceptable mob action after its subsidy gave birth to rise of killings and armed robbery. Least we

From time immemorial people have used greetings to represent good terms with one as being morally upright. Gone were the days when children are held in high esteem for showing reverence to elders with their families benefiting from that gesture as morally sound. These days greeting is no more the norm and cradle of morality in our societies. This phenomenal change many say is based on the principle of "modernization of society" where everyone claim to be on his or her own and more to the point living a sole life without humanity effort of others. Critically analyzing the moral standards of people living within the rural and urban enclaves based on greetings one will realize that the changing nature of society has degraded this moral standard. Most often than not people try to justify the reason for the decline of morality in urban areas as that there is no time wasting and everyone wants to achieve success at the end of their stay. Looking at this argument whi

Together as one has always been my strong motive that keeps me united with others and I hope all citizens of the world follow same. Speaking to Biafrans of South East Nigeria make my heart sink like the Titanic ship because of the complaints they give concerning the ill treatment being meted out to them. There is no doubt that Nigeria is a country as large as the baobab tree of Northern part of Ghana with different tribes but that does not warrant such actions because we are one. Kwame Nkrumah in his book Africa Unite should be a thinking bloc for every African. Fighting ourselves and maltreating one another will further lead to Neocolonisation of Africa and impoverishing. United we stand should be the motive for all Nigerians and allow for the freedom of the Biafrans to prevail.

It is with pain always to hear that a person has been killed without fair trial by civilians who are insensitive to matters of humanity. I woke up early to hear that a military man trained to protect civilians have been killed by those who is to protect. Of what crime does one commit to receive barbaric treatment. How will it feel to die of natural cause leaving behind children? Painful as it is these citizens did not consider such moment of life. The death of a military man in the cause of duty is like a tree been terminated at a time it is to serve a whole community. I say rest in perfect peace Captain Mahama and may your fall be a rise to the sense of Democratic movement in the country and also serve as lesson to those who you were protecting but rather took your life.
