Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Ghana may be championed for its political stability, but life for the average Ghanaian is defined by crippling poverty.

2010-09-14T20:21:00.000-07:00

Ghana maybe be the political success story of West Africa however its citizens have yet to experience a standard of living more associated with modern liberal democracies [Gallo/Getty]

It was fascinating to watch Mubarak, Abdullah, Netanyahu, and Abbas-a rogue's gallery of oppressors and human rights violators if there ever was one-talk seriously about peace and protecting human and civil rights and expanding freedom while sitting a continent away from either Jerusalem or Washington, or in my case in Accra, Ghana, on the southern end of West Africa.

Here most people I meet have no more than passing interest, if that, for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They have plenty of other issues to take up their time much closer to home.

Ghana is routinely touted as one of Africa's "success stories" because of its political stability. Certainly the United States has invested a lot in this idea; the US Embassy complex rivals the Presidential Palace in size.

However a closer look at the economic statistics underlying that claim underscores what a miracle the country's stability is, considering that Ghana ranked 152 out of 189 countries in the latest Human Development Report, poorer even than Yemen, the Sudan, Haiti and even violence torn Pakistan and the Congo.

Only Afghanistan and even more desperate sub-Saharan countries rank lower, this despite a strong base of natural resources (the country wasn't known by Europeans as the Gold Coast for nothing) and agriculture, as well as recently discovered oil. As Forbes magazine recently commented, Ghana "shouldn't be poor, but it is."

Per capital income ranks at a deplorable (and for almost anyone who can read this article online, unimaginable) $621. Travelling around the city's environs with an Egyptian friend, we couldn't help remarking how much poorer Accra is than Cairo-Egypt ranks around forty places higher than Ghana on the Human Development Index, with traffic and pollution that in scale if not sheer size rival its long-lost sister city 4,200 kilometres to the northeast (in one of the most famous political marriages in African history, the first President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, married an Egyptian, Fathia Nkrumah, to unify the north and sub-Saharan regions of the continent).

In the northern countryside people often live in huts and sleep with their livestock, while children walk around with distended stomachs (malnutrition is the greatest source of mortality for children) even though the land is fertile, in good measure because of the focus on growing for export and a mismanaged agricultural sector.

Not surprisingly, the IMF considers "Ghana's problems are mostly homegrown." To be sure its leaders, whether 18th century chiefs who expanded their wealth and power through selling fellow Africans into New World bondage, or the corrupt politicians of today, deserve their share of blame for Ghana's current problems.

However it is the height of blindness and hypocrisy to declare that four centuries of slavery and colonialism, from which Europeans and the West more broadly benefited far more than local elites, are irrelevant. Further more it would be disingenuous to ignore the impact of decades of international loans that has bestowed a hard-to-service national debt that helps fuel the export of raw materials rather than developing indigenous industries that could create and keep more capital at home.

Certainly Ghanaians have very little, and deserve much more-although it's worth noting that the carbon footprint of the average Accran is far closer to what is ecologically sustainable globally than that of the average Angelino, Londoner or Dabawi. But if Ghana needs significant economic and human development, how can that be achieved in a way that doesn't produce far higher inequality and environmental degradation, as it has in so many other developing countries?

Therein lies the great problem facing the country. Ghana's "success" is that despite its continued economic woes, it hasn't become unstable, become a haven for extremists or turned anti-American. But it's hard to say how long will Ghanaians remain quiescent in the face of such poverty when their country has so much potential.

The Ghanaian Slang "Its Normal"

2010-02-26T01:13:00.000-08:00

Here, because we have no respect for human lives, scenes like these are "normal" very normal, many, oh' its not their problem, well, this is how it'll always be, lest, are they aware of how scenes like these takes us back, This is an elitest system, the system doesnt include all these people, development here to me means a few rich with luxury cars and the building of houses and churches without developing the human resource.

Driving from my project site today at Christmas day 25/12/09, this is another sad sight i see, slowly taking picture behind them, my car in that spot. sure they are coming from the bush, no shoes, tattered clothes with a machete and strange that there's no activities for them on such a special day, i have some plans for this community. I hope you think about them too on such a special day. Our so called future leaders and up coming farmers, i wonder if our leaders really know what they are doing. Crimes against Humanity.

Children playing outside their home, their play ground, "my everyday Haiti".

A working taxi in the Northern Region " death on roads, to the police and the authorities in charge "its normal even if it endangers precious human lives". hmm, dont know when the laws of the land will be enforced.

These guys, on a major highway, this is where they enjoy sitting, driver is fine with it, sure police is also watching, anything at all can happen, Ignorance.

The broken windshield of the same working taxi up north, which can easily break into pieces, anyways, it has fire extinguisher. Well, i also see some street lights there, something positive.

Fixning my car, this young girl shows up by name Ayesha, i ask her few questions and am sad straight, selling oranges, am torn between buying and not buying, i am thinking she should be reading, visiting some library, playing with friends, painting or visiting some play ground, (playground, i shouldn't even be thinking about that, Africa is the only continent where leaders are so wicked that they hate kids because there's no playing grounds or parks for them) but no here she is, if i dont buy, she gets nothing to go home, if i buy she gets something to go home and i feel like am encouraging her to stay on the streets selling or telling her indirectly that what is on her head is okay. I can only take her details and ask her to be on my foundation so i see how i can help, its pathetic.

The dangers facing the young welder in Ghana today, am at the workshop, fixing my car, decide to take some shots, this guy is welding a running board of some car, he has no helmet, no gloves, no protective eyeglass , i asked him about his protective outfit and he tells me, if he wears the protective eyeglass, he doesn't see good and it's "normal" as he's been doing this for sometime now and he sees no danger, i don't think he knows the harm these chemicals are causing to his entire body, there's absolute no education, you even try to tell them whats right and they insult you, who do you think you are? We been doing this for a long time, leave us alone, nothing will happen to us. This is what you get when you try telling your own people the truth and to the leaders, this is what you get and see if you refuse to educate your people, this is what some foreigners here wants to praise as development and saying some members of parliament doing well. Lack of wisdom my people perish, at least i know one country for sure, where if this happened or this picture was brought to the spotlight or seen, the minister of industry, trade skills or social work will resign, but in Africa no minister resigns, its a taboo.

A dog has been hit by a car dead and lying down the road side, its "normal", will lie there till it rots, dangers it poses to health, no one cares, maybe some mentally ill person will find it and it will meat will serve as a delicacy for the day or week. Well, i have witness human beings such as the dog lying down there as you can see in my previous blogs. If we have no respect for human beings how much more animals. The abuse, ignorance, poverty and violence continue to thrive in our day to day activities unseen but seen and ignored just because everybody thinks its some one else problem, maybe till it manifests into a different level before people will sit up.
He is saying i want to die, ignorance kills more Africans than any of the major diseases in this world.

The everyday hustle of some young children on the streets of Accra

2009-10-11T22:48:00.000-07:00

Sights like these are reasons why my foundation exist trying to fix situation and help, and these pictures don't come easily, they come at a price, many a time i have to smile at them and ask them politely to take pictures of them, i wonder if i don't ask and they see me taking shots of them, the kinda feeling, the foreigners who live here or visit, i hope you see and talk about all these social injustices and just not drive pass ignoring them and trying to associate yourselves with the so called elite and so called MP's, (More Poverty - yes of course members of parliament brings in more poverty, they hardly do anything not even visiting their constituencies after winning elections).

The day these little boys will rise and stand up for their rights asking why they are being kept so poor in this manner, i hope the masses don't go to International Court of Justice and talk about child soldiers, it will be too late, their anger and desperation wont let them feel for anyone not even a stranger. But nature always is like human beings hardly learn from their mistakes.

These are sights when you hear sub Saharan African leaders on international stage receiving awards, all are joke !!!

Description of Pictures

Two young boys on the streets of the capital, in the scorching/blazing sun cleaning windshields to have their daily bread because they cant afford school.

This young boy as little as he is and facing this huge truck while his friend in yellow T shirt ask a taxi driver if its okay for him to clean windshield for some little money.
Even the car tyre can run on his feet, some of the dangers, but the minister of state who's stealing tax payers monies is educating his her kids in the West and they will always come back to rule these very same people on the streets.

The pollution and dangers to their health is unbelievable trying to make a living.
The so called big men drive in their luxury cars and think its normal for all these young boys to sell on the streets.

The white bucket with some sewer water and their foamy brushes will clean windshields and make them some money to take them home for their daily bread.
This boy here carries these yams (food) all day like this all day trying to sell to make a living.

Ghanaians, am writing all these to sensitize you about the realities on the ground which many of you see everyday and ignore, but ask yourself what can you do, all we hear everyday is conference on reduction of poverty levels, seminars to eradicate poverty, the year 4000 aspirations for all inclusive in society and so on, nothing is achieved at the end of all these conferences, seminars and workshops, they only go sit eat, drink and give empty words, Ghanaians its a high time we make our words our bonds, we all have a role to play in this, how long can we keep some of the people so poor.

Watch these things, In Ghana, seen as normal, when lives are at stake.

2009-08-11T09:35:00.000-07:00

No one talks about these things, i will.

This KIA truck with registration number AS 7926P is loaded with charcoal, a product, which many poor Ghanaians use as firewood in cooking, as we can all see overload or over weight, surely this truck has passed its maximum weight, the truck itself is struggling to move, but the law enforcement agencies will look on or allow it on the highways to its destination endangering the lives of the citizens of the country, other motorists, vehicles and the very own lives of the drivers and colleagues.

Will love to hear what the animal rights activist will have to say about these goats and sheep's being transported and treated this way, they are finally going to be slaughtered for food but even before that they will travel through this harsh treatment of a two to three hour drive long journey from Kumasi to Accra, both major cities in Ghana, this Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 ,with registration number GW 9751V definitely belongs to someone educated somewhere in the West or with a respectable background, at least, in Ghana this is a "rich man's car" but the common sense which i have come to find out in Ghana it's not so common lacks here.

What amazes me is that, both cars will pass through several police check points and the police will allow them to move on, imagine if the charcoal should come off the truck or the truck turns over, what happens ?
What about if one of the animals escaped from the roof of this Land Cruiser, hit on the streets dies and burst into pieces.

The extent of ignorance here amazes me, Ghanaians, we should be able to empower our law enforcement agencies especially the police patrols and check points, equipping them with better conditions of services and good salaries so they will be able to fight such menace on our roads, if they are well paid and better taken care off then they will be motivated to stop and arrest such situations and not be tempted by bribes and these petty tips.

Wake up Ghanaians, i urge you to open your eyes, speak and criticize such ugly acts on our roads, which puts all of our lives and the very society in which we live in at risk.

UPDATE ON GHANA

2009-07-20T18:38:00.000-07:00

Obama visited Ghana on his first trip to Africa since elected the President of United States of America.
Many questions were been raised about why he did not visit his home country Kenya and big brother Nigeria, snubbing them to come to Ghana.
Ghana must be commended for the peaceful transition and good practice of democracy which has contributed to its long-term stability. Obama was graciously welcomed with all the joy and happiness that was demonstrated with the election of the first black US President.

What amazes me is how Ghanaians were cleaning the roads and the places President Obama visited or even where his entourage would be passing.

President Obama also visited the 17th trans Atlantic slave castles where slavery took place. The name of the town where the castles are located is called Cape Coast. I have visited Cape Coast as it’s the hometown of my parents and where my culture originates. Cape Coast hasn’t been kept clean at all. Cape Coast should have served as one of our biggest tourist attractions, but it’s been very dirty every time I have visited. I haven’t been impressed at all with the slave castles located there.
Ghanaians - to be clean isn’t hard work. I don’t understand why we should have waited for President Obama to announce his visit before we started painting and cleaning the very towns we live in.

Over the weeks, I was amazed at all cleaning exercises that were embarked upon by the people of Cape Coast - just because President Obama is visiting. Do we have to wait on the announcement of a visit from a President of another country to clean our very own environment ?
What have we become? Have we lost our priorities as Ghanaians?
Are we as a country trying to tell President Obama only he needs to be in
in a clean environment and not us? Yes, we were cleaning the towns where he was visiting because he is coming ,not because these are our very own environments where we live. Very interesting and funny how we can clean and do this: if we can do that why don’t we clean regularly and thus make us healthy Ghanaians?

I hope Ghanaians all see why the foreigner always disrespects us. We do such things and don’t even realize it. That the cleanliness of other countries makes many Ghanaians want to seek greener pastures and leave our country is very sad. The Western world has worked very hard to keep their laws on cleanliness working, with immense education on the environment. It is why today their cleanness has made many Ghanaians strive to pay so much money for visas to leave these beautiful shores. We need intense education on the environment and cleanness to make every Ghanaian cherish their county.
To me, I saw President Obama’s visit as just one of those things and nothing was going to change in US- Ghana relations. We need to take on our very own leaders, hold them accountable for the corruption and ripping off of our dear country and make sure each and every Ghanaian gets access to basic and fundamental rights.

Disability the Ghanaian way

2009-06-28T05:13:00.000-07:00

The AMA stands for Accra Metropolitan Assembly the sole authority in charge of sanity, law and order in the Ghanaian capital Accra, as we clearly see the warning sign KEEP OFF BY AMA and a fine of GHC 10 put there in this busy Kwame Nkrumah Circle/roundabout, this young ice cream seller defying this order, right behind him, but no one can blame him, either he cant read the warning sign or an economic migrant to the capital from the countryside to make some little money to send home to his family.

He wheels this small ice cream cart all day for as little money he gets and he stops at such a place without thinking of the consequences and dangers a place like this as close to the road is to his very life. His very life is at risk with the millions of cars that uses this road daily, if any of these cars should skid of the road or if an accident should happen, the cars will come crushing into him, like always, the ignorance is the order of the day.

The other guys we see, are disabled persons who have manufactured their own small cartwheels with two little borace wheels and a small wooden board using it as a form of transportation on our already dangerous roads, they run very fast that sometimes cars can hardly even identify them on the roads.

The other guy with a wooden crutch decided on his own to direct/control the heavy traffic when the traffic lights weren't working or traffic lights are off as mostly seen on the streets of the capital, Accra. As he directs the heavy traffic on his one feet, same time he begs for alms.

The government with its so many international donor agencies with all sort of aid coming in and taxes from the ordinary Ghanaian citizen cant even provide disability social centers where many of these young men can go during the day to benefit/acquire some technical skills to give them some profession in the future, all i see everyday is seminars, conferences, workshops and committees set up for people to go and drink tea, nothing happens, i keep asking myself, where does all the money goes? Luxurious cars and houses, Ghanaians are you retrogressing or progressing ?

Ghanaians and their real hobbies

2009-06-17T22:47:00.000-07:00

Over 80% of Ghanaian cv's I have sampled and investigated, be it cv's of applicants for job interviews/seekers, cv's of new ministers being vetted for new ministerial positions and cv's of students enrolling for tertiary education, seemed very interesting and funny in terms of what people write when it comes to hobbies.

On the African continent, the English words spoken are not to be taken very seriously and it’s the same when it comes to what people write. Many countries copied western style constitutions in the English language, even though the masses or citizens speak another language. It makes you wonder how they can even understand the laws!

It beats my mind, how a country like Ghana will have its legislature debate, enact and pass bills in English when the citizens can’t even express themselves in English.What happens when they go breaking the laws?

To me most things sounds and look like a joke in this country. Every time there’s talk of workshops, conferences, seminars and nothing is achieved, few of us see any results or resolutions adopted during all these meetings, conferences where attendants seem to drink water and sleep when someone is giving a speech.

Back to reality, Ghanaians, why do you write on personal resume/cv's all these hobbies you don’t really have?

My research tells me you mostly list all these hobbies of reading and listening to music on your cv's, but I think I can and will redefine what your real hobbies are, your real hobbies which I think you should put on your cv's to make them nice and attractive ha ha. Ghanaians are throwing waste in sewers, especially plastic bags everywhere in the country; breeding mosquitoes; some places smelling shit; bringing each other down; loving to see your fellow people suffer; standing in the streets and selling all kinds of items in this hot scorching sun; urinating around walls and decent places without washing your hands; talking without action; always begging for aid or asking some international donor agency to come to your aid; having no water and carrying buckets of water on your head all day and thinking its right whiles you pay your water bills and taxes; electricity going on and off and being satisfied with it, dumping of waste, plastic bags and shitting in your seas, wow; creating unemployment and building churches instead of schools; and wanting to travel outside the country, come back buy a big car and build big houses. My fellow Ghanaians, to me the above-mentioned hobbies are the true hobbies you have and not reading and listening to music. If you read, what do you read and that kind of morals do you learn from all your reading?

Why don’t you practice what you preach instead of preaching what you don’t practice?

WARNING: PICTURES ARE DISTURBING: This clearly depicts the savagery some of us talk about everyday.

2009-06-15T12:51:00.001-07:00

WARNING: PICTURES ARE DISTURBING

These pictures are solely mine and owned by me.

On my way back from the beach on a Sunday, this is the biggest savagery i witnessed in my life live with my digital camera.

A truck load of building blocks with young men between the ages of 23 to 30 years sitting on top of building blocks, the truck turns upside down and this is what happens.
Ghanaians, this is the kinda country we live in and this could have happen to anybody, we live in a country where we have no emergency services, no ambulances and not even first aid boxes in cars.
When this incident happened, i witness fire servicemen were called in to come help pick the dead bodies, the most shocking part of it was, these men aren't trained medics, the way and manner they picked up the humans will cause more injuries and pain if some of the victims were to survive.
This is a country that prides itself with aid and all the big names in aid agencies/donors, all am asking is where does all the donations of medical supplies go? As we all can clearly see, the dead bodies being carried to the back of a truck with human eyes poking out without body bags, what respect and dignity do we have for our fellow citizens as we watch them die like flies, you see people standing there helplessly, i overhead one man say "oh the blood is staining the white truck, people are dying, there's an emergency situation and this man is thinking of property, i just said to him, do you see people dying or not? Why do you wanna worry about blood staining the truck? He was speechless. Human beings dying like flies and no one cares.
The ordinary man cant be blamed, i understand, they pay their taxes and elect their officials to work for them by making their lives better but these officials after elections only care for themselves, their pockets, families and lavish lifestyles forgetting to even put the country first.
Ghanaians you need to hold your leaders accountable and responsible if possible by demonstrating but then i also understand, the many poor will have to wander about the basics of life like water and 2 square meal a day to get through the day, so how can accountablilty work here?

You have ministers and members of parliament who fly first class with their families and girlfriends, ride in $60,000 cars and build big houses with the taxpayers money but hardly will they go to parliament to debate about emergency situations and ambulance access in the country, in parliament, rather they go debating their salaries, new cars, phantom policies which hardly exist and think of new ways of begging the West for more aid, the aid that never gets down to the poor.
You have human beings that live like this in the 21st century and its very nerve racking when people talk about aid, we been getting aid for the past 60years or more, where is this aid? The educational, medical, financial and agricultural aid we receive from the West, where does all go?
The ambulances i see here in this country are only for dead bodies from the hospitals or for conveying dead bodies during funerals to the cemetery, the ambulances are all parked all day and wont go pick up such accidents victims, our highways are left just like that without any paramedics or ambulances. I have said time and time again, about 75% of deaths that occurs during accidents on our roads can be prevented if we were really a serious race.

These same leaders that rules us ride in all the plush cars and get into accidents themselves sometimes and you see passerby's cut down branches of trees to cover their bodies, what a shame.

Children in Africa

2009-06-14T11:00:00.000-07:00

Every single day in Africa
There's a child out there
Who's hungry and sick without meds.
And also without shelter and clothing
Wanting your love and succor.

Every single day in Africa
A child goes hungry to bed
Looking badly malnourished and ill-fed
Not sure where and when the next meal comes.

Lives in slums in unhygienic conditions
In a bid to break barriers and above par

Every single day in Africa
A child drops out of school
Due to Abject poverty and starvation
And an inability to pay school fees
Which results to disillusionment

Every single day in Africa
A child is psychologically abused
Sent out on the cold streets
To eke out a living for his/her family
In spite of very imminent dangers on his/her way

Every single day in Africa
A child wakes up to harsh realities
Sold into prostitution, slavery and crime
Against their own very wishes
To a world of hate and bestiality

Every single day in Africa
A child is faced with humiliation
Despair and suppression of own voices
He cant be heard and he's preyed upon
In a world where he seeks protection and love

So many have lost hope.
Some have had their trust damaged
Some are living for the day
Waiting for what tomorrow brings
In a cruel world that care less
About the future of the Africa Child...

Foundation of Hope exists to care, help
and provide education, clothing, food, health care
and shelter to many of these children putting
smiles on their faces and showing them enormous
Love.

Life is Sad

2009-06-14T10:54:00.000-07:00

Every Wednesday is school feeding program and as director l was there as usual, was a long day with kids eating, having fun and at the end of the day they realizing they are loved and cared for. Well, government and ministers don't care, we make the difference because we care, my foundation tries as much as it can to provide every kid/child in the various chosen poor suburbs or communities without a relative or care the the equal opportunities given to other kids most important the basics of life.
Foundation also work hard to bring children of the streets to shelter and grant them scholarship leading to their entry into secondary schools thereby gaining access to quality education which after they can be gainfully employed.

Foundation also work to integrate the elderly back into society as mostly they are seen as witches and sent to witch camps or are neglected, what comes with elderly here, elderly people here aren't much well taken care of, its a huge multi- task confronting many western countries today so how much more Ghana, Africa.
In many African countries, young people beat up their grand parents just because they are senile. weak/feeble and wrinkled.

Most of the elderly turn not to be clean, they think they are old and therefore nothing or no one to attracts, if they have court cases which they even stand the chance to win, they wont attend just because of some illness or weakness, this is where my foundation comes through with meetings every week to hear their various stories and concerns.

We educated all these elderly folks on the various major health diseases and risks, provide medical care and treatment follow up with results at their various homes, provide them with food and other needed items and groceries, organize games for them, make them do some stretches and throw balls.
Home visits are frequent to see how all of them are faring.

Life is sad

its sad how people you know become people you knew

its sad how you think you cant grow but you already grew

its sad how you can start over when your young but not old

its sad how you say were friends but you act so cold

its sad how people are here but tomorrow they'll be gone

its sad how friendships dont last forever but they last very long

its sad how people dont think and make so many mistakes

its sad how your best friend was someone so fake

the saddest part of all is we live like this for eternity

but the saddest part of all is this is the life to be.....

Only together can we help eliminate Poverty & Misery from our World

2009-06-14T10:42:00.000-07:00

This is just a piece for you out there to read and see what l spend most of my time and day doing in case many of you been wondering which l very well know.
For years, l have been trying and working in my own small and little way with very limited resources to better the lives of the many under privileged people in my society especially children and the elderly.

"The poverty experienced by children in some African countries like Ghana is beyond imagination -- painful images of sick, dying, starving and abused children is what l am used to and see everyday.

Whilst others live with more than the essentials to survive, these children are dying daily from unnecessary causes and from lack of basic needs.

The UN, Humanitarian and International Charities estimate as many as 7,000 Children living on the Streets of some developing countries ..

Change how you think and break the mean cycle in you, ask how you can come on board or become a member to give a helping hand for a better cause.

Just observe around and be thankful for all that you have in this transitory lifetime.......
Then say to yourself, you are fortunate, you have so much more than what you need to be content.

Lets try not to feed this endless cycle of consumerism and immorality in which this so called "modern and advanced" society forgets and ignores the other two thirds of our brothers and sisters.

Sitting By The Door One Morning
Looking At The Children Going To School, Then I
Thought About The One's In The Streets
The one's without shoes
Moving Up And Down And No Where To Go
No Education No Future
Why Do They Suffer So Much, If They Have Parents Why ? If You Really Don't Want Children Why Do You Have Them ?
If You Really Don't Want Children Why Do You Have Them ?
Why ?
If You Can't Care For Them, Why ?
We Can Fight And Overcome, We Can Stop Children From The Streets.
Lets keep hope alive.

Souls Are Crying & Dying, Why Do You Want To Throw So Much Away ?
Many of These Children Know No Waste, Government Doesn't Care And No One Cares.

Teach us your mistakes you have made in the past and donate materials that will make others learn and benefit from it, education is the key, thou shalt not give man a fish, teach him how to fish and thou shall fish always.

Only together can we help eliminate Poverty & Misery from our World

your promising the people
right back into slavery
now the only thing you have
been truthful about is your thing
about 'out of many one'

Singh:

your Honor,
that was taken from my uncle sam

Judge:

yes, cause only one people
a clean the street
one people eat out a garbage heap
one people to cut sugar cane
one people in some rain
one people toiling
and one people collecting the coil
speaking of uncle sam

i shall also charge you for given
rise to crack and cocaine
in this country
by killing off our cocoa and timber
that use to help to
balance our foreign exchange deficit

i am giving you 1000 years
for the crimes of Anthony
girlie girlie godfather don
an mr. crack stone

My mind:
but your Honor

Judge:

your should be hanged
but i shall be lenient
and give you both 1000 years.
i have been noticing that
in your airports
only out going passengers
are caught with drugs
but never a tourist,
yet we don't grow cocaine here
but it still getting more and more common.

Singh & Mymind:

but the tourist business is
vital to our national economy

Judge:

vital, vital to who
with your all exclusive hotels
tourists will soon think
Negril is a next island by itself
You claim that the poor
can't take no more
but you not giving them anything

l see more benz than lada
and hear that a car that
cost $20,000 in Miami
cost $800,000 here.
what you do with all that
extra money at customs?
you keep talking about tourist harassment,
black people are harassed daily in foreign
everyday they are talking about
black people.

Singh:

your Honor,
as you can plainly see,
when i was in power
things was going to get right,
i had all the white people
with money on my side
all the brown people
was starting to feel like
they were living in miami

Judge:

but what about black people?

Singh:

well a was just getting
around to them
when l lost the elections your Honor

My mind:

that is no excuse your Honor
before him,
black people was getting very self sufficient
black people was starting to acquire houses in miami

Singh:

that is because they were running away your honor

My mind:
white people started to say i and i and irie

Singh:

your Honor,
if it wasn't for him and his black ideology
we would reach much further....

My mind:
your Honor,
we never had poor people in mind,
that is why we having so much trouble now

Singh:

your Honor,
is him change, not me

My mind:

your Honor,

Judge:

shut up.
i see no difference between both of you.
You both following the same thing
that has been and still is
keeping down black people.

My mind:
when you not in power your Honor,
it is easy to say this and that.
but when you have power
is a different sanky
you have to sing.

Judge:

I am givin you both another 1000 years.
none of you have the solution
to black people problems
l suggest you read
the philosphy and opinions
of Marcus Garvey.
study them carefully,
then i might just grant a pardon
and another thing,
before you begin your sentence,
both of you visit the arcade
and see how poor women
run business from nothing.
let the domestic helpers
show you how to use $130
to feed a family of ten for one week.
now take them away.

Better must come, change must come.

Hearsay/Rumor/Evidence

2008-09-09T09:58:00.000-07:00

Live and experience it, if you feel it, you know it !

The just ended Olympic Games have seen the Chinese come under heavy criticism from the West about their Country, especially Beijing, being polluted. l am like excuse me, their country is polluted and so what ? The West don’t have polluted Countries and you are dying of all the major diseases in the world. How often do you hear Chinese people dying of Breast Cancers, Strokes, Alzheimer’s and numerous Brain diseases?

Go to China and speak to people over 100 years old and you will be amazed.

The Chinese people have the best foods in the World when it comes to assorted cuisines, spices and vegetables sauce preparations. You will find a Chinese restaurant in every Country.

The West will argue and say their food is junk, Westerners make faces when many things about The Chinese comes up, this and that, but what foods, specialties or cuisines have the West been able to produce, invent or exported?

You have the best of foods in the World with all the obese people, How many Chinese people you see suffering from obese? do the statistics for me.

These noodles and spices paste you are manufacturing today all came from China - Marco Polo didn’t embark on that silk road for nothing: he brought something home with him.

In addition, they have the best traditional herbal treatments coupled with acupuncture and hot ointments for aches. We should criticize pollution wherever it is found, but we ought to be sure that we balance it with praise as well.

This is a wonderful race - cigarette smoking there is just the biggest in the world, but in China when you are drinking or smoking, you have your natural antibiotic, the great garlic, by your side in every corner of the Provinces

They just chew garlic when they are smoking or driking, its pretty good, l think reason why they age..

Amazingly, l speak to many Westerners, l ask them, will you like to go to China or Have you been to China? Answers l get are just absured, first thing many will say, China is polluted or what the hell am l going to do there, then l will ask, have you been there ? Answer is no, l will ask again how come you know all what you are saying, answer will be is what l hear, is what you hear, your life is based on hearsay, my fellow friends l always hear this, hearsay means nothing, get the facts/evidence and dont believe all what people say.

l find it very eccentric, how many Westerners get lots of stuff locked up in their minds just upon hearing them

In this world, one's man's meat, will be another man's poison.

We shouldn't forget what we saw in China in the 80's, sick Chinese children dying and large scale poverty, The Chinese should be commended as one of the biggest Countries to bring lots of its citizens out of poverty. They have done tremendously well.

I wish Africans will learn from the Chinese and Africans stop giving excuses for keeping your fellow African men poor and blaming the white man for your woes, wars and poverty.

It's beats my mind, how the Chinese Population is bigger than that of the population of the whole African continent and still Africans go begging fthe Chinese for aid.

Simply as, one man having a family consisting 15 members, another man's family consisting 4 members, then family of 4 members go begging family of 15 members, geez wont family of 4 members, take a break, sit down, ask themselves, how is family of 15 making it so much that we with only 4 members can go beg them for food. Just common sense.

My advice is, those of you who despise the Chinese or are quick to say ugly things about them upon hearing about their Country, stop, learn a thing or two about them and their ways and live long.

A slip of the foot may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

HELPFUL ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC

2008-09-09T09:49:00.000-07:00

Logic & Common Sense

l hope everybody enjoyed Clean Switches Month,
l am back, this is what l have for you.

HELPFUL ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC

Considering my experience over the years and the difficult trend of life these days, l consider it prudent, if all will heed these pieces of advice, it will make a huge impact on your lives.

Never trust any person, even your own father and mother, trust only yourself or God if you believe in him.

Be careful, what a person thinks of cannot be seen on the face. The face is different from the mind.

Document transactions of any form you make with people. Apply your signature or preferably thumbprint (vice versa)

Never underestimate anyone, especially your friends. Everybody is capable of putting you into serious trouble.

The adage: "a friend in need is a friend in deed" is not applicable these days. Can anyone find a trusted friend ?

This age is likened to " Sodom and Gomorrah" where evil doings are the order of the day. The people who do good things are very few and they are difficult to find.

Fear most, especially those who call themselves 'God Fearing'- Do they really fear God? They are dangerous beware.

Do not be taken by the sweet promises and don't be tempted by the shiny apply or eat of a bitter fruit. Suspect everybody and live long.

We have been told, We are descendants of 'Adam' naturally. We are envious and evil.

Watch the people who put undue pressure on you for favors, they might have evil intentions.

Be careful when doing good, the times are 'evil;' and the ungrateful are many.

The Bible as we know says, " Do good to all men" How to do it:

First., make sure what the person is telling you is perfectly true, think about it several times if it makes sense. If you will not have the time and the ways to investigate, then do not be disturbed if the person disappoints you.

Give to people things that if they do not return or pay back will not disturb you.

Where the request involves, " big money" or something valuable, please have time to investigate their claim and be very sure before you give out. Tell yourself, if this is what its about and the person claims all of this request, why does the person needs my help.

The times in which we are living now bring about evil doing, unfaithfulness, insincerity and wickedness. There is pressure on people and one will do "anything" I mean "anything" to free oneself.

Human beings are like "chameleons" - they might end up duping you.

They can easily tell lies to free themselves. In a twinkle of an eye, they will not be the same people you have always known.

Beware of people who talk "big" they might end up duping you.

Never depend on a human being's promise. He can even die before the time promised. Just accept it. Situations can just make it impossible for one to fulfill a promise.

Man's promise is not claimed by faith. You have it when it is in your hand.

Be careful how you eat or drink outside your home. You can easily be poisoned by close friends. Be selective in choosing friends. Not every friend is a friend.

Study your friends. Be with only those who do not look down on you and those who do not envy you.

Human beings by nature (Adamic Nature) are very aggressive and can do anything just to satisfy a want or need.

Be careful how you tell your secrets to people, especially friends. They can capitalize on them to harm you. " Man by nature is Envious ".

My friends take these pieces of advice seriously and be at PEACE.

Common Sense's Clean Switches Day

2008-08-19T09:57:00.000-07:00

Common Sense's Clean Switches Day (Registered)

Feed Your Brains....

From Today to Saturday, l am educating you on something that might be killing you slowly.

Many of you live out there in the West but take life for granted, but life is all we have. We need to protect it and age gracefully. With death no one knows how it is, looks or seems: no one has died and come back to tell us how death is. That life should be fully cherished has always been my stance.

l tell many of my Western friends, especially Americans and Canadians, many a time when they travel outside their own country is when they begin to love or cherish their identity. Because then everything seems to flow so well for them; you see the joy everywhere when you show your passport; your embassies and various consulates will help at any given time; emergency numbers are listed in case you get into any trouble, to the extent of airlifting or evacuating citizens when situations are serious.

Not like some of us. Our passports aren’t respected then when we traveling and visit our own embassies, like that feeling, when you see your country's flag flying on some kind of building and you feel like you are home but you get there and you find out that your own fellow citizens don’t even want you. You see you aren’t even welcomed. Rather they ask you what you are doing here, if you want or ask any help, embassy staff are like, did we ask you to come here, who asked you to come here. In Africa the ignorance is the only thing killing the many, its just so high and just the order of the day, embassy staff you are assigned to protect and help your fellow citizens.

In many other countries your systems are well defined and you have leaders who care.

Where some of us live, what we see and go through everyday many of you haven't an iota of an idea , nothing works like you all know, power and water goes off anytime unannounced for days sometimes weeks, no centralized cooking gas system, you have to carry these gas bottles or canisters to go buy gas before cooking, no medical coverage or insurance, no ambulances, no credit system, time is not respected, appointments become disappointments, no planning, services are rendered to customers disrespectfully and service providers act like they are doing customers favors. There's nothing like consumer protection and rights, leaders are only for their big stomachs and their families and always get away with crimes when they commit them, its a crime down here to arrest any leader when they break the laws.

All in all most of us are happy and respect life here, a piece of advice to you all is, if you live in the West, where most things will be defined as good, then cherish what you have, be proud of it, and please respect life, because what some of us see here everyday is just unimaginable to many of you, my mom always says this, many Westerns can't just live here, because the system alone stresses you coupled with your daily physical or emotional stress.

When l talk to many over there and l hear about sicknesses and diseases my heart hurts. Lets look at some things that might carry viruses and infection.

Have you thought of all the electrical appliance and wall switches and sockets, handles and locks in your home ?

Today l am initiating a three day Switch cleaning, we touch these on/off switches, handles and locks more than anything in our entire lives.

l don’t know if you will like to do this alone or with your family, whichever way.

If you live alone or with family, take a piece of cloth or an old towel, mix a good smelling detergent soapy water, soak cloth or towel in soapy water, squeeze soapy water out of cloth and start cleaning, clean the surfaces of every on/off button switch and wall sockets you see.

Mind you, l never said go put water on switch button on any appliance or wall sockets that has live electricity running through it, before you start cleaning turn any appliance or socket off, if you dont turn them off you do so at your own risk as its dangerous and can cause electrocution.

We touch these things everyday, we wash our hands often but still isn’t enough as there’s lots of chemicals being left on our fingers even after we wash our hands we still touch them.

We are cleaning every little on/off switch that you see in your home, your desktop including your keyboard and mouse (touch pad), laptop, printer, home theaters, dvd players, radios, microwave, washing machines, gas /electric stove, telephone dials, dryers, fridge, bread and sandwich toasters, remote controls, televisions be it flat screens, door/window locks and handles and even, the women, the locks on your fancy bags.

Every switch that you hold to turn on and off should be thoroughly cleaned, let the viruses that get in contact with our fingers go away.

After cleaning, let surfaces dry and feel the freshness when you touch all these surfaces again.

Tell me how it feels to touch clean and tidy surfaces. Can you feel the difference? Is your mind more at rest knowing that this particular way of spreading personal pollution will not be affecting you and your family?

By popular request, cleaning has been extended to the end of August.

Touch Your Dream

The famed $185m Dream Painting

Touch Your Dream

Have you ever seen a dream walking?
Have you ever heard a dream talking?
You are the master of your dreams
If you pull the right strings
It could be talking to you
If you pull the right strings
It could be walking to you.

You are the one to make it happen
You're the only one that knows what is
You are holding the key to your dreams
Don't hesitate grab the chance
Before it's too late.

Reach out and touch your dreams.

Don't let them tell you it is impossible
That is what they told all heroes before
In a hero's mind the word does not exist
When you're 80 years old
Thinking about your past
Regretting every minute of your life
That you've lost
You will wonder where the time went
If you do the right thing
It could be talking to you
Don't hesitate, grab the chance
Before it's too late.

Reach out and touch your dream.

I Will Follow My Dream...

I Will Follow My Dream...

How About You ?
Are you following your dream ?

Trouble arrives in measures,
and we stack it up real high,
until we're convinced,
we have no reason to try.
If you feel defeated,
you're absolutely wrong,
for if you follow your dream,
you could never lose for long.

Ignore the minor set-backs
that pile up and trouble you,
or you will build a mountain,
out of the stones hurled at you.

The future holds great promise,
your destiny unknown,
but God is always helping,
and you're never alone.
Soar bravely toward your goal.

Let nothing darken the way.
You can change your tomorrow,
if you seek your dream today.

THE CATS AND DOGS HAVE FORGIVEN EACH OTHER, WHAT IS WRONG WITH US ?

2008-06-13T16:21:00.000-07:00

PEACE

THE CATS AND DOGS HAVE FORGIVEN EACH OTHER,
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US ?

This blog comes from deep down the bottom of my heart, it's a blog that talks about peace, racial discrimination and lack of misunderstanding amongst the human race leading to all of the hatred and wars in this World.

You see when we read in the Bible about the Creation of the Earth, the Bible tells us that Man was Created in the Image of God, but it does not tell us whether God was Black, White, Colored, Indian or whatever.

When l see a black man l see the image of God, l see a white man l see the image of God, l see an Indian l see the image of God, God loves everybody, we are the images of God, God is one that is why we are his children, we got to be Together As One, the one thing that is keeping us apart is misunderstanding.

Today we are going to bury misunderstanding 69 feet down and put up a very big rock, this one is called

TOGETHER AS ONE

In my whole life,
My whole life
I've got a dream

Too many people
Hate Wars
Why do you like it?

Hey you Rasta man
Hey European, American, Indian Man,
British Man, Iraqi Man, Israeli, Arabs
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese, German
Russian, French, The Chinese and African

The cats and the dogs
Have forgiven each other
What is wrong with us ?

All those years
Fighting each other
But no solution

GOD BLESS LUCKY !

Contaminated Minds

2008-06-13T14:38:00.000-07:00

Contaminated Minds

Some people search for the holy grail
Run round in circles and chase their own tails.
But you can’t really blame them for clutching at straws
For weeding some truth in our morals and laws.

Some people say that revolution will descend
On this madness end this confusion.
But we’ve all heard the privileged boast and preach,
And the promised land we want is still out of reach.

I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on the cowards and fools

He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction the working man's friend

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too
But contaminated minds are blind to truth
Contaminated minds speak with loudest voice
But not everybody has the luxury of choice

Africans l urge all of you to stand up for your rights and hold your leaders accountable and responsible.
Mother Earth has endowed and blessed us with lots of food and natural resources, but we are always hungry and begging due to the wicked and inhumane policies of leaders like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT AFRICAN'S

2008-06-01T09:58:00.000-07:00

l Started hearing the Voice of this man on air, all of a sudden l begun to realize all what he says about Africa and it's Leaders are true, he is now a very good friend of mine, l have come to know a lot of things from him which wouldn't know
in all my life, l am very grateful to him, he is a new breed of African Leader who will make lots of changes happen.
Charles Kofi Wayo

Hey Chuck more grease to your elbows, we wont stop the fight till we get there, the people have to be liberated at all cost they have been put in dark too long, thanks for all your "common sense" radio program it has had a good educational impact on my life, now l speak freely without being scared, l have come to know my basic rights as you thought me. We will always hold the Truth !

HE IS a maverick of a politician but definitely a fascinating character. He is always in
one controversy or the other and has flirted with almost all the political parties in the country.

CHARLES KOFI WAYO on separate occasions dared both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) governments to handover the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to him, promising to transform it into a gold mine in no time.

Popularly known as CHUCK, Kofi Wayo ( KW ), a strong critic of the current government, is fond of sticking a cigar between his thick lips and riding in luxurious cars.

He spoke to DAILY GUIDE ( DG ) about his family, perceived wealth, childhood, sex life, belief in God and why he smokes.

DG: Good morning, Sir.
KW: It must be good for you but without water how can it be good for me.

DG: You are quaffing a bottle of beer and still complaining?
KW: I have to drink some liquid you know so I choose to drink beer.

DG: That’s a good life for you.
KW: Well I do not take government money. I earn my own money so I can afford to have a beer but the Minister who is taking people’s money should not be having beer.

DG: Are you a family man?
KW: Yes, but they are grown and on their own now. I have two kids, the eldest is 21 years old and they are on their own in America. They were born there. I brought them here and when they saw the place they said they never want to see it again unless it is fixed up.

DG: Boys or girls and are they married?
KW: Beautiful girls. They are not married but they have boyfriends.

DG: Ghanaian boys?
KW: Damn no. I never had any Ghanaian friends. I did not socialize with Ghanaians. The only Ghanaian I knew was Mike Soussuodis but I did not even know he was a Ghanaian. We met in New York and I thought he was a Puerto Rican.

DG: So where is your wife right now?
KW: She is back in America and does not want to have anything to do with this place.

DG: What does she do for a living?
KW: She is a housewife. We are well-to-do you know.

DG: Are you saying you are a rich man?
KW: I am ok. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am not. But I am comfortable.

DG: How do you make your money?
KW: I sell arms. That is my job. It is a good business.

DG: What type of arms do you sell?
KW: I sell DCs, Kinetic Weapons, Jet Fighters, Military Tanks; I know the Arms business pretty good.

DG: Do you sell your arms to African governments?
KW: I have never sold arms in Africa. I know people lie that I had an arms deal in Congo and all that. All I did was that when the Blacks were fighting the whites, I sneaked in some live arms for them against the Rhodesian forces and I regret it now. We were told not to sell arms to African leaders because they use it to kill their own people. I sell my arms in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and so on. I have 30% of my business in the Middle East.

DG: How did you get into the arms business?
KW: I grew up in the United States Army and I was a Barracks Boy that was how it started.

DG: You were in the US Army? How did you get there?
KW: I did not get into it. It was my father. The American guy who adopted me was a military man so I was raised around the US Army barracks.

DG: Why were you adopted?
KW: My dad was with the West African Frontiers Force and was fighting in Burma, when he met the guy who adopted me and they became friends. When he returned from Burma, the guy at times came down to visit our family. My dad got involved in the anti Nkrumah thing and was slapped with some jail sentence of some sort.

It happened that the guy who adopted me came to visit us during that time and also visited my father in jail. They agreed that I should be taken out of the country.

DG: Where were you staying by then?
KW: Nima (in Accra) because we had run away from our village for political reasons.

DG: Which village was that?
KW: Kofi Pare, about 15 miles from Asamankese. That was where I come from.

DG: Are you not an Adangme?
KW: Yes but I was born at Kofi Pare and that is my home. My father was born in Dawhenya and my mother was born in Dodowa and that is their hometown but I was not born there. I do not care where my father comes from; that is his problem.

DG: Do you have siblings?
KW: Yes. There were 10 of us. Two are dead so we have six boys and two girls left. I am the oldest because they were all born after I had left. My dad came out of jail and decided to do capacity building so he pumped out nine more children.

DG: How was childhood like for you?
KW: I grew up in Nima and I remember I used to sell bread, banana, peanuts and iced water. We were very poor because my dad was in jail and we had no money. We were always scared and my mother was also scared because she had to protect us.

DG: When were you born?
KW: I do not know when I was born. It must have been after the Second World War. It was about 10, 12 or 13 years after the war.

DG: So when do you celebrate your birthday?
KW: I do not and it does not matter to me anymore. Everyday to me is my birthday; I am blessed.

DG: So how do you fill your forms?
KW: I was born in a primitive society and you want to hold that against me? When they gave me a passport they wrote in it that I was born in 1955 because my dad said I was born around that time.

DG: Do you take care of your mum?
KW: I take good care of my mum. I honour her because she brought me into this world and educated me. She is my life and stays with me in East Legon.

DG: Kofi, you are always complaining. Do you not get high blood pressure?

KW: No, my pressure is always low because God knows I am telling the truth.

DG: Do you believe in God?
KW: How can you ask me that? I live God, I eat God, I talk God, I sleep God, I walk God.

DG: What do you know about God?
KW: To me, He is a spiritual presence and I as a human being was created by Him and I owe Him a lot of thanks to make sure that my fellow human beings do not suffer unnecessarily.

DG: What is your religious affiliation?
KW: I am not religious; I am spiritual because religion is made by men and it can be corrupted. But I am spiritual and deal directly with my creator.

DG: How do you deal with your creator?
KW: I take the best from the Moslem and Christian philosophies.

DG: You go to church?
KW: No, I don’t. I did that when I was a kid in the States but I don’t any more.

DG: You go to the mosque?
KW: No.

DG: You go to the shrine?
KW: What shrine? I pray because God is everywhere and I kneel down by my bed and communicate with my creator.

DG: How do you refer to this your creator?
KW: I call Him Creator that is all.

DG: Where are your flashy cars; are you now broke?
KW: This is why God does not bless the Black Man. You have no water to drink and you are asking about flashy cars. University students are shitting in the bush and the press is worried about my cars. They are in my house. Why should I be riding in these cars when my people have no water?

DG: When you were riding in them the people still had no water.
KW: I did not ride in them. It was my brother, George, you were seeing in the cowboy’s hat. I rode in the Rolls Royce about just twice; the rest was my brother.

DG: Wow! Are you twins?
KW: Everybody thinks my brother is me because Ghanaians do not know me. He wears the cowboy hats and puffs a cigar and I sit in taxis and use ‘trotro’. I have now educated my brother to stop using my cars for show while our people suffer. I do not believe in show.

DG: Why do you smoke and what do you smoke?
KW: You have a baby face and ask such questions? My dad smokes and I use to watch him and took it from him. I like cigars. I smoke big cigars.

DG: What is a big cigar?
KW: An American or a Cuban cigar.

DG: You smoke Cuban cigars?
KW: Yes, I do not like Fidel Castro but I like his cigars.

DG: Are they expensive?
KW: It depends on where you buy them, 60 Pounds or $100.

DG: You spend that much money on cigars?
KW: Look boy, I work 24 hours a day to get money to smoke, do you dig that?

DG: Why do you smoke?
KW: I get energy from my cigar. It keeps me awake.

DG: You hop from one party to the other. Are you a political prostitute?
KW: It is only a fool that does not change his mind. I joined the people and found out that they are a bunch of crooks and I left them because God would punish me if I become a crook. I knelt down on my knees and prayed to God and I left them.

DG: Do you have a social life?
KW: Why would I enjoy life when my people are suffering?
DG: You do not hang out for a drink?
KW: No.

DG: How long has your wife been away?
KW: Which one do you mean, my former wife or my current one?
DG: Do you have more than one wife?
KW: I had two wives. I divorced one and made a mistake of marrying another one. I should not have done that. I married a white woman called Tmmy.

DG: And how long has Tmmy been away from you?
KW: For four years.

DG: And since then you have not had sex?
KW: No. In our culture, people believe in drinking, dancing and having sex. I fear God and I believe sex is not for fun. Why would I go to have sex with a strange woman I do not know?
DG: So you do not have sex?
KW: Well I do not want to fornicate but I like sex. I did it when I was a younger man but no more.

DG: You cook your food and wash your clothes?
KW: For three million cedis a month, I can get a damn good cook.

DG: Would you accept an appointment from this government?
KW: I won’t take it because God would punish me if I associate with them; you know they are crooks.

DG: How much are you worth?
KW: It is between me and my bankers and my tax man.

Hospital Delivers Babies with Sachet Water

2008-03-09T01:53:00.000-08:00

The severity of the water crisis in the country is affecting most Ghanaians including unborn babies, and this is 51 years after Ghana became independent.

As a result of the water shortage, the maternity section of the La Government Hospital has been compelled to use sachet water, popularly referred to as ‘pure water’ to deliver babies.

According to a TV3 news bulleting aired Thursday evening, March 6, 2008, the hospital has no other option than to buy sachet water for use in deliveries and other medical care.

On the news bulleting, nurses and other health workers were seen carefully opening the sachets and emptying the water into buckets for use. This activity apart from the cost element is also time consuming, especially in the light of the human resource shortages that most health facilities, including the La Government Hospital are facing. Scarce human resources, who are already overworked, are compelled by the situation to spend time emptying sachet water into buckets.

The hospital on Independence Day March 6, 2008, had six deliveries.

Unfortunately for these new born babies, the 51 years of independence has not delivered on the most essential of human needs, water, to make their entry into the world any smoother.

Most african governments ( including entire cabinet members, ministers and policy formulators ) are criminals they should all be sent to the Hague for Crimes Against Humanity, how can you make women give birth in such conditions with water sachet and sleeping on the floor and look at this little kid, he is smiling while carrying the sachet water, sees nothing wrong with it, you see how africa is retrogressing, this kid gets home and his neck will hurt, he wont be able to study then he goes writing examinations and fail then human capital we just hosted african football cup of nation and wasted millions of dollars for what, just to show off .

Some of us we will continue to educate the masses and the governments tries to shuts us down. we will talk, we wont give up and continue to fight the cause.

South African's Ex-Deputy President Zuma 'Showered To Avoid HIV'

2008-03-01T01:25:00.000-08:00

South African ex-Deputy President
Jacob Zuma said he showered after sex with an HIV-positive woman, thinking this would reduce his risk of being infected.

This emerged as he was cross-questioned during his trial for rape. He denies rape but admits to consensual sex, and said he was ready to marry his accuser.

( on top right hand corner Jacob Zuma, these are some of the people ruling us in africa, they are called big men eh, they are above the law and after such immoral behavior which is beyond human imagination in today's civilized world, you will find some western leaders awarding him pretty soon, mark my words, award for what ? for spreading HIV in the World, this is where i have problem with western leaders why award such a person with criminal and immoral conduct, better if shunned )

Remarks about HIV made by Mr Zuma in court
earlier this week have angered Aids educators.

(on the right hand corner in scarf The alleged rape victim has not been named outside court )

More than 5million South Africans have HIV - the highest number in the world.

Mr Zuma - previously seen as a possible future president - retains considerable popularity. His supporters see the charge as a political conspiracy.

Mr Zuma said in court on Wednesday he had left his bedroom after having sex with the woman and taken a shower because this "would minimise the risk of contracting the disease [HIV]".

He also said that he was prepared to marry the woman who accused him of rape, and that her aunts were discussing the possibility of marriage and a bride price as Zulu tradition dictates.

"Yes, if we had reached an agreement with that, I would have had my cows ready," Mr Zuma told the court, referring to "lobola": the traditional donation of animals by a husband to his bride's family.

Mr Zuma was being cross-examined by prosecutor Charin de Beer, after testifying in his defence on Monday and Tuesday.

Dismay

Aids educators now fear that while female-to-male HIV transmission is indeed less common than male-to-female transmission, Mr Zuma's explanation could be interpreted as meaning men are not at risk.

"Statements like that can throw years of hard work down the drain," says Vicci Tallis of the Gender Aids Forum - echoing the dismay expressed by other Aids activists, whose unease has been compounded by Mr Zuma's previous high-profile role in government.

Mr Zuma's testimony that he did not use a condom during the encounter, despite knowing the woman was HIV-positive, caused dismay among local Aids activists.

Before being sacked as deputy president last year, Mr Zuma headed the government's National Aids Council and the Moral Regeneration Campaign.

Mr Zuma said he normally uses condoms, but did not have one available on the night of the alleged rape.

Having unprotected sex is thought to be the main way in which Aids is spread in Africa.

Mr Zuma, 63, insisted that the woman, 31, who may not be named, had initiated the sexual encounter.

Last week, the defence failed in an application to have the rape charge dropped.

The case has attracted huge publicity and court sessions have drawn demonstrations by groups both for and against Mr Zuma.

Mr Zuma - a veteran of the ANC struggle to end apartheid and a favourite of the party's left wing - was once thought a likely successor to Thabo Mbeki as South African president.

But the allegations of rape and corruption are thought by many to have ended that prospect.

A separate corruption trial is scheduled to begin in the Durban High Court in July. Mr Zuma denies the corruption charge.

' Lack of Leadership ' as

Sue Goldstein of Soul City, an HIV education and information group puts it,

She says that while many South Africans remain in denial about Aids, equally worrying is "another group saying they can't control their sexuality, but believe that as men they are less at risk."

She points to "lack of leadership" as one of the problems hindering the struggle against HIV transmission in South Africa, and says it "boggles the mind" that the former leader of the Moral Regeneration Campaign could act in the manner that he admitted to in court.

The fact that Mr Zuma invoked traditional culture as an excuse for not using a condom is a matter of concern, says Dumisani Rabombo from the Men as Partners Programme of the organisation Engender.

"People may think there are African ways of having penetrative sex but with minimal risk of HIV. That doesn't exist," he says.

Mr Rabombo adds that in the experience of his work, older people are more likely than younger people to have faith in unreliable and dangerous traditional beliefs surrounding Aids.

"But you can't guarantee that some young people - especially those who are pro-Zuma - might not think themselves safe," he says.

Post from BBC.

Just as i was about to finish this blog something popped up.

African National Congress president Jacob Zuma marries his fourth wife.
05 January 2008

African National Congress president Jacob Zuma married his fourth wife, Nompumelelo Ntuli of KwaMaphumulo, at his homestead at Nkandla in northern KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday.

Between 400 and 500 guests -- mainly family -- attended the ceremony, which lasted about three hours. KwaZulu-Natal businessman Erwin Ulbricht was spotted among the guests.

This is all what taxes in Africa are used for, The poor tax payer keeps getting poorer.

How I See It, My Personal Opinion

Readers, this is what i mean when i talk about Ignorance and this is unbelievable and sounds like a fairy tale, but it's true, believe me, this is Africa, The Ignorance stems from the leadership ladder right down to the common man down the ladder, so what do you expect ?

The very people who are elected to lead society and set good examples in society are wrapped up in such grave immoral behavior.

Sometimes my friends in the West ask me about the Aids situation in Africa, i tell them actions of people here doesn't constituent any of the “conventional” model of attacking AIDS, what we call the ABC of AIDS or the ABC approach to HIV prevention.

A is (Abstain)

B is ( Be Faithful)

C is (Use condoms)

has little or no applicability in many African countries. Some Africans especially those in the South dont even believe the virus exist, terrible after all the education and scenes we see and hear on the electronic media, i sure believe even if scientists make the virus available to been seen still some human wont be scared.

l hear comments like these seldon when aids is being discuss on the streets here

"but we are all going to die anyways and so what" , tells you people are not ready to change their lifestyles and having multiple partners is seen as normal.

Some Zuma's generation in South Africa is less willing to change their behavior.

In any civilized country he would be sentenced for misconduct or gross indecent behavior, but he was acquitted, Africa for you and a street child steals food because he is hungry and gets a jail term of 5 years, l always say if i bring 100 good lawyers from the west to africa most of our jails be empty in few weeks, some of the cases that took most of the accused there are baseless and judges here are dictated to.

In africa people in high positions hardly gets sentenced because here justice is to the highest bidder, we don't have rule of law here we have what i term rule of leaders, they always buy their way, if any african leader or in high position be convicted unless Big Brother is behind it and will be at the International Court in the Hague, why should it be that way ? Can't we convict our own leaders ? Don't we elect them ourselves ? Can't we hold them accountable ?

Now Jacob Zuma has been elected the President of the African National Congress in South Africa likely to be the next president of south africa after Mbeki. We waiting to see what happens when he wins the seat, cant imagine, look at his behavior when he wasn't a president and chaired the National Aids council and Moral Regeneration Campaign.

With ignorance like this depicted in it's highest form on this Retrogressive Continent some readers report my blogs to google about my contents being objectionable, i see that in a positive way, once they reading alone is enough the message is getting down, but we should be careful at the end of the day, Posterity is what matters and i will continue the fight to Educate The Masses .

Personal opinion is mine, solely mine and if you want to take me on, take me on as my friend says we are ready for battle like they say in the 82nd airborne.

Pastors Pray On Hydroelectric Dam To Restore Rains and Energy

2008-02-26T11:21:00.000-08:00

'Common Sense'
Akosombo Dam, The only Hydroelectric Dam in Ghana prayed for by group of pastors so rains come down or be restored to supply the country's energy. They believe its the devil stopping the rains. so wont look for any solutions, so they got an excuse like always. oh Mr. Black Man When At All....
Ignorance once again.

History

In 1949, the then prime minister of Ghana Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and the British Government Invited Sir.William Harrow & Partners to come and Investigate the possibility of Constructing a dam over the Volta river to provide power, irrigation and river transport.

When they arrived, they worked for four months and quickly came out with three suggestions. They suggested that an aluminum smelter project should be included this would be the main source of money to help the government repay the cost of the dam. The second suggestion was to site a sea port at Tema to help in the transporting of materials for the construction of the dam. Finally they suggested that the dam should be used to irrigate the Accra Plains.

The dam was planned to built at a deep gorge just north of the Ajena island. There was an existing controversy over using the Ajena Island. The Dam would cost £54million. The smelter was to be built at Kpong and would have initial capacity of 80,000 tonnes and an ultimate capacity of 210,000 tonns. It would cost £64million, an £11million habour at Tema. £26million for compensation of those affected by the construction of the dam.

The Dam was meant to be a crescent shaped rock filled dam with sloping core of impervious clay. It was to contain house of 19 turbines to produce about 500,000 kw. Six months later the renowned engineer Henry J kaiser was invited. He chose Akosombo as the dam site. His assistant Gord Gerdes designed the dam. It could produce 1,116,000kw which was about twice that of William Harrow. The smelter would be at Tema. Kaiser said the alumina powder was to be imported to aid in cutting the cost. Work started in 1959 and ended in 1966.

The Akosombo dam was built to provide enough power to meet Ghana's electricity needs.

The dam was created under the name of the Volta River Project which was undertaken by the Ghanaian government and funded in part by the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), the United States and the United Kingdom. Construction was begun in 1961, andthe water began to flow into Lake Volta in 1964.
The construction of the Akosombo dam was intended to encourage the establishment of new industries, stimulate agricultural development, and to provide opportunities for fishing and increased water transportation. The hydroelectric power produced by the dam was supposed to provide a reliable source of energy for large industries as well as export power to Togo and Benin.
but in the early 1980's and early 1990's, very low water levels due to drought brought a halt to energy exports and interrupted industrial production. The lake was expected to provide water for irrigation treatments, but agricuture inb the resettlement areas remains marginal, with the only irrigation projects being taken by farmers on a small scale.

Since 1966 we have been depending on rains to fuel our energy for the country, we haven't been able to look or have an effective energy policy aiming at other or renewable sources of energy , it worsened when last year water levels were seriously low and Ghana experienced the worst energy crisis what was termed as 'low shedding' so homes will have lights off 12 hours and lights come back for another 12 hours.

Affected lots of commercial activities and businesses, lots of jobs were lost and many factories folded up. The Aluminum smelter, Valco where i use to work, was one of the brains behind the Akosombo Dam, the biggest company in Ghana had already been affected some years back as it's enjoyed more energy than the country was forced to shut down so the country can gets the required power . About 3000 employees were affected.

My argument here is, are leaders of africa not visionaries,don't they care about their people?

Our First President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah was just wonderful and a visionary, i loved how he use to invite all these Overseas and Partners to come build all these huge projects when he travels and sees them.

Can't other africa leaders emulate him ? Been wondering what would have happen if this Akosombo Dam wasn't built at all, what would have been our fate here in Ghana ?

Africans, We are just a destructive people, we destroy everything.

Why do we sit down, watch for it to run out of water without looking at other sources of energy knowing very well that energy is a basic necessity to life .

Today,even waste can generate and produce energy, its been proven, theres also wind mill power, whats your excuse ? not going to mention nuclear energy, you cant even maintain hydroelectric, let alone nuclear power, if you don't fuel it, and it seizes to work, we all know from experience the dangers of nuclear power, if there's a disaster,this time wont be pastors, might be Bishops, haha.as for nuclear power it's quiet and you cant even get close easily, let alone go pray on it, might explode in your face and when Bishop call Jesus, Jesus will answer, you should have known the consequences. ahahahahaha

This group of so called pastors you see in this picture above appeared in the Monday, July 30, 2007 edition of The Daily Graphic ( the biggest selling newspaper here in Ghana, government controlled, i dont read it because i dont want to pay for my own oppression, since i was born, i have never seen any Ghanaian president criticized in it, if it happens the editor in chief be fired within hours all these state run organizations be privatized so democracy can thrive ) from some parts of the country said it had decided to pray regularly and fast for God to restore the water in the lake to a level that will guarantee the full supply of energy to the country reinforcing the hope expressed by the president that week that "God will not allow the Akosombo Dam to hang ".

Been wondering if the builders of this Dam prayed to God to let Dam come be there. haha

Oh Africa, Black Man so when ?

In Ghana, Africa, Water is no Challenge, Cars and Houses are the Biggest Challenge.

2008-02-12T00:07:00.000-08:00

According to UNICEF, more than one billion of the world’s populations do not have access to safe drinking water.

Over forty-five percent of this number lives in Africa.

In Ghana, access to safe water hovers around the sixty percent margin.

In Ghana, access to and distribution of safe potable water is a huge challenge. Urban areas seem to be the major beneficiaries of safe water distribution, whilst rural areas depend largely on ground water.

UNICEF project officer, responsible for water, sanitation and Hygiene, Michael a. Forson, explained the possible contamination of ground water by organisms which can cause guinea worm infestation.

He also explained, ground waters give rise to other water borne diseases and infections such as Diarrhea which is the leading cause of morbidity among HIV infected children.

According to the UNICEF project manager, safe water parity can greatly impact on education, hunger and the eradication of poverty, urging the public to support household water projects, especially in rural areas.

My Personal Comments :

Unicef, please don't worry about Ghana and Africa, you very well know Africa holds 60% of the World's Resources and still begging, reasons why your organization itself is here telling us what to do, because we don't use our Common Sense .

Ghanaians are riding in $90,000 cars and building big houses worth $1,000,000 thats development for them, prices of these cars can take water to other regions of the country and the rural areas. The black man knows water is a problem, tell them about it, they will give an excuse but water is not everything, i go like don't drink water in 3 days and what happens? we have lost priorities.

A rich man/minister (big man) goes to build a big house in a slam where theres no water, he alone has reservoirs and tanks for water, so we have super slam, whiles the others walk 10 miles for water, he sits and drink tea in this hot weather just like the white man caring less, if there's an uprising and the rest of people attack him for water, he did be crying for help.

Donors and aid partners why don't you stop giving us aid, so the black man can use his senses and feed their brains as their tissues are suffering. l am proud to be among a new breed of african leaders coming up where all this nonsense will stop, l was in Cuba for 3 months, a country that hasn't traded with America for 50 years and over, has the lowest child mortality in the world amongst the best, a country seen as some experts to be retrogressing to the 1960's and water taps never ever went off, came back to Ghana and water has been off for almost 6 days, Mr. Black Man what's your excuse ?

Born to Suffer Lyrics - Oh Africa - Entry for November 03, 2007

2007-11-03T10:36:00.000-07:00

Africa we are really born to suffer, Parents don't plan before they bring us into the world, we are in our mom's womb thinking we are in jail, we come out not shouting Freedom, but to see and feel the real jail, we come into this Continent of Ours Africa with an automatic suffering, our Faith, Hopes and Destiny lies in the open sewer systems here.

When you living here in Africa, no one cares for you, not even your parents, but when you die, they will waste good money and party at your Burial, oh My God somebody hold me, l am in tears shit, been through so much in life, l vividly recall in 1989 school days there was a funny hair cut in school, l decided to get one, my dad wont allow it in his house, he wants to cut it, wont allow him to cut it, he hit my head on the wall so hard fighting me as his equal just at age 12 and the only son, he packed my small dirty cloths and put me in his car, drive me straight to my mom's work, they were divorced 1986, he wanted to embarrass my mom deliberately because he knew where she lived and could have brought me there in the evening, a public servant she was at work and had to receive me, lots of people were looking at the scene, but she said son come to me, l will take you, when i hear many Japanese kill themselves because of frustration , stress or little problems, i cant believe it, but i don't know how we survive here in Africa, like my Mom always say if most of the Japanese or Westerners live here, they did all die by now. Nothing works in Africa !

l am not talking about African capitals where there's a few rich, just live any african capital within hours and see how the rest of the people live.
Sometimes one week, months, years without water and electricity and people living in mud houses people have to carry water on their heads 20 miles, and what are african leaders receiving ? awards for what ? Britain and America keep awarding these so called african cats or leaders whatever one to choose to call them for not providing their fellow citizens just the basics water and light .
An e.g., Just recently former Mozambican President some kinda cat Joachim Chissano received a $5 million award for making his country one of the poorest in the world and get 200,000$ yearly for the next 10 years.
And Mozambique is one of the poorest in this world.

Mr Ibrahim, a UK-based mobile phone entrepreneur who was born in Egypt or Sudan i think, developed the plan to rate governance in 53 African countries each year.
Ask your selves my brothers and sisters for what?

You see this Ibrahim man should ask himself what this money can do for poor Egyptians, Mozambicans and even Sudanese.
Western leaders keep awarding these African Leaders for inflicting so much unthinkable and unimaginable suffering on their people, l blame you one way or the other.
Lucky Dube R.I.P, l will always uphold your dreams and promise to do all i can and my best to change all this ignorance and nonsense.

With a strong Determination l have already survived a lot of the nonsense and educating my people in all ways i can, we will get there.
This music goes out to all the Leaders and Parents who doesn't care .

Feed Your Brains Mr. Black Man, Your Tissues Are Suffering !

2007-11-01T00:27:00.000-07:00

l don't know what Development means on this side of our World, l mean Ghana and Africa as a whole.
Here i think l will define development as the the few rich having the latest cars, big houses and the latest cell phones to show off in the capital, but not development in terms of providing the Basic and Adequate necessities of life like Water, Energy, Good Health Care Facilities, Better Education, Employment, Street Lights, Equitable Distribution of Wealth and Clean Environment.

A poor country wanting to get out of poverty, set targets and work hard in achieving those targets, you are not building good transportation networks or easily accessible roads or railways from food producing areas the roads there are so bad that foods get perished by time its gets to the city, not building factories to produce, rather the old good producing factories are being turned into churches, the black man wants to pray 24 hours a day to some white stupid obronie jesus christ who cant even talk to come and develop his country,another form of slavery called modern slavery, always importing, all of our youths wants to work in the office, mostly aiming at fast and fraudulent means of making money like their leaders so they can drive the latest cars, wear jackets and dressing ties and drink tea in a 360 degree celsius of heat weather, you dont blame them, thats what the leaders do so they follow suit, and forget the rest of the country side where poverty is so visible that people or our fellow human beings walk 20 miles in search of water a basic of Life.

Ignorance is just the order of the day, you pay taxes to government and dont hold government accountable.
From infancy we are raised not to ask questions, growing up in a typical Ghanaian home, you ask parents questions and you're told you don't respect either you're beaten up or they tell you to shut up and so you grow up taking it to the national level, thereby sitting and watching elected officials gamble and waste our money and precious resources.

l am of the strong view that Aid should stop, l am appealing to the western donor countries to stop giving us aid, we have enough farmlands to farm and feed ourselves, we have more natural resources than American and Britain, even the latest cars and suv's on our streets when sold is enough money to feed Ghanaians in the next 100 years.
so tell me Mr. Black Man whats happening, whats your problem and why cant you feed yourself and always begging ? is there any excuse ? no, the answer to your problems is bad leadership and corruption, sycophancy, lost priorities, mismanagement and unnecessary show offs.

l will tell a very painful story, when i heard it l was shocked, wasn't able to eat for days.
A foreigner, white man came to Ghana from one of these European countries name withheld and was visiting a young boy of age 12 years as a pen friend, he was helping boy's family in Accra the capital, he helped them established a small business producing sachet water, i mean water in little plastic bags thats is sold all over the country, bought them a truck and family became well off.
Man moved in to stay with family and he was having sexual intercourse with young boy, was a secret no one in a compound house of about 16 people had an iota of an idea what was going on between them.
Something happened one day, l will continue, heading on a business meeting. .

We Mourn The Death of An African Reggae Legend

2007-10-24T14:32:00.001-07:00

Another Legend Lucky Dube a Reggae Sensation from South Africa who's music like Slave, Prisoner, Its not Easy, The Way it is, has inspired and educated great people like me, life's has been taken oh africa, when will we stop being cruel, South Africa you have the highest crime rates in this world, you cant even tackle this huge issue and you are hosting world cup 2010, for what? just because you want to show off to world, what do you have to show Mr. Black Man?according to my statistics south africa tops the crime rate in this world, followed by Brazil and America.

Those of you who are cut from this world and aren't informed, i urge you to search Lucky Dube on any search engine and download some of his great songs, four of his lines from 4 great songs that i cherish the most is

" Like a preacher man who preaches jesus then in the night he is a hooligan "

"and i told my mama l'm getting married on the other side of the telephone,then the next time i told her l'm getting divorce not knowing behind that beauty i found lies what was gonna hurt me so much, mama said to me its not easy to understand inside but i hope you make it"

"What kind of rich man are you ? who doesnt care about the poor people "

" There's no truth in this world "

FIFA you have made a big mistake in awarding this games to south africa, the crime wont stop.

The 43-year-old musician was shot and killed Thursday night in front of his children as a hijacker tried to steal his car, Dube was dropping his children off at a relatives house at the time; he attempted to escape but died almost instantly from his wounds.

Gallo Records called the death "senseless and random," and it was not clear whether Dube's attackers knew who he was.

l asked myself why kill such an innocent person

South Africa is one of the most dangerous societies in the world. Figures from the South African Police Service show that from April 2006 to March 2007, more than 19,000 South Africans were murdered, more than 52,600 people were raped, and nearly 13,600 people were carjacked.

Dube was one of South Africa's most famous musicians, having toured extensively around the world. He had recently returned from a U.S. tour that stretched from California to New York.

With all these successes he had his darker sides i guess like we all do and we dont know who and what he was dealing with.

His record company said Dube leaves "a great void" in the music industry after a 25-year career. Dube recorded 22 albums in Zulu, English and Afrikaans.

Born outside Johannesburg in 1964, Dube was named "Lucky" by his mother because he was the first child to be born after several failed pregnancies.

Dube started singing in 1982, joining a band playing Mbaqanga, or traditional Zulu music. It was only later that he began recording reggae tracks as a solo singer, but the genre was to dominate and define the remainder of his career.

He is survived by his wife, Zanele, and his seven children: Bongi, Nonkululeko, Thokozani, Laura, Siyanda, Philani and three-month old Melokuhle.

Too bad Melokuhle you will grow up to listen to your Dad's music as it will forever live with us.

LUCKY DUBE ,REST IN PEACE !

24-Year-Old Man Marries His Bride of 82 !

2007-10-24T14:30:00.000-07:00

Argentina: After a long engagement Reinaldo Waveqche from Santa Fe has married 82-year-old Adelfa Volpes, the woman who gave him a home after he lost his mother aged fifteen.

Ms Volpes was asked if their relationship was non-physical to which she laughingly replied it will be a bit more than that. Reinaldo emphasized how amazed he was at her enthusiasm and passion for life.

"I don't care what other people say," said Mr Waveqche.

The groom, Reinaldo Waveqche, told reporters after the ceremony in Santa Fe, northern Argentina: “I’ve always liked mature ladies … I don’t care what other people say.” He and bride Adelfa Volpes, 82, plan to travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon. Asked if the marriage was purely spiritual, Ms Volpes said, laughing: “There is going to be more.” Mr Waveqche said he admired his new wife’s zest for life. The couple were married in a civil service after several years of engagement. The pair have lived together since Mr Waveqche went to live with Ms Volpe after his mother’s death when he was 15.

SAD NEWS

Do not wish anybody, it's ugly, distressing, it removes emotion to life: I speak of having to say "I always knew, having always right. A few weeks ago the news broke of the wedding between Adelfa Volpes and Reinaldo, respectively 82 and 24 years. Arguments on goodness and the moral foundations of such an event. Here's an article drawn from Yahoo Argentina today.

Volpes, the 82-year old woman who married a few days ago in Santa Fe with a 24-year-old, died last night at the sanatorium where he was interned by an arrhythmia, informed sources such care center. ". A spokesman for the Sanatorio San Jerónimo told Télam " Adelfa Volpesdied around midnight after 25 days of marriage," and that "had entered the sanatorium for several days presenting arrhythmia and chest pains, which later became complicated with respiratory problems.

Adelfa Volpes became known as the September 28 last married by civil Waveqche Reinaldo, who has 58 years younger than her. The woman suffered from a heart condition that she regularly called for studies.

Adelfa Volpes and Reinaldo were formed days ago in news because of the unusual age difference at marriage and the wedding was covered by media from Argentina and other countries.The couple married in the Civil Registry of Santa Fe and later received a blessing at the Basilica of Guadeloupe.

Adelfa Volpes invited to live at home Reinaldo when his mother died and eventually changed the tenor of the relationship, to the point that were boyfriends for six years until they decided to marry, then told the woman to the media .

I do not think we needed comments, just be very sad by the end of a human life and a little sad for vicenda.Ah, not forgetting to congratulate the good Reinaldo.

My Question is ?

Would it be any different if it was a 24-year-old woman marrying an 82-year-old man?
YES, Sensationalists and People who just talk will quickly rush to conclude the woman did that because of the man's wealth.
That probably would not even be in the news.
There’s always a double standard in this world.It's clearly seen here.

But I am thinking this woman must have groomed him some what too, judging by his age at the time along with him losing his Mom, very strange indeed!

Usually

I don't have a problem with an age gap in relationships, except in these cases...this is just...socially wrong!

Plus im sure he's a bit screwed up now after all was said and done.

He's fugly and she's old who else would marry them?

If they're happy together I don't really care

There is something to say for a woman who can take out her teeth.

I would not want to wake up with her though, they say look don't count and a mature woman is experienced; bet she knows a trick or two but she can keep her tricks to her self. :P

Aww how sweet!? Love is blind, no really love she's blind...

LoL... will be remembering that one.

Well i hear... She digs anal...

"Asked if the marriage was purely spiritual, Ms Volpes laughed and replied: 'There is going to be more.'"
Oh my.

How could either of them?

"Asked if the marriage was purely spiritual, Ms Volpes laughed and replied: 'There is going to be more.'"

The saucy old she cat, heck I thought woman stopped wanting that sort of thing at that age, sicening thought with a man as younge as that with an 82 year old.

Crinkled nose here! Not wrinkled. :)

I like his
comment "I've always liked mature ladies." Mature! She is matured past the sell by date. Sex with her must be like throwing a brick down a tunnel. She took this guy in when he was 15, what happened there then? Has this been going on since he was 15 or did it start years later? We could be looking at a kiddy fiddler here.

Why didnt he kissed her lips, l heard the woman almost collapsed.During the kiss you can tell she was almost dead .

With me personally, owner of blog, l think some of your comments are mean, we shouldn't forget we all gonna be old someday, if we still desire to have some kinda fun like that, no one can stop us, we turn to become more stubborn at old age, not listening to anyone.

There's a proverb here in my country that says, each one of us been a kid before, but none of us been old before,you never know.

Street Children

2007-09-19T12:45:00.000-07:00

In brief

There are street children in both rich and poor countries all around the world. The majority, however, are on the streets in developing countries, mainly as a direct result of poverty.

These children survive by begging or doing things like shining shoes or sorting rubbish to sell salvaged scraps. Some, particularly girls, get coerced into the sex trade. HELP US IS WHAT THEY SAYING

How do kids end up on the street?

Street children don’t live with their family, are not in school and have no official person or institution to care for them. They lack the support offered by a family and must fend for themselves.

Some children end up on the street because they have been orphaned or abandoned by their parents. The HIV & AIDS crisis means that there are increasing numbers of orphaned children who have nobody to look after them.

Others have left their families because of poverty to look for work in the city. Others are escaping family violence or breakdown, which may spring from the stresses of poverty leading to alcoholism or abuse.

The dangers

Globally there are an estimated 100 million street children. (1) Most are teenagers, but some are as young as seven or eight.

Without education they have little hope of getting a decent job or building a better life in the future.

Children may be lured by the prospect of a more exciting life in the city or a chance to earn money. The reality is that they usually live in terrible conditions with no-one to protect them and often no record that they even exist.

They can easily end up working for little pay in dangerous conditions. They are at risk of sexual abuse and exposure to sexually transmitted infections.

Some turn to drugs as a way of coping, or crime as a means to survive, which involves them with the police. While many police are just doing their jobs, others harass or take advantage of vulnerable street children.

There are cases in Latin America where street children have been murdered by police who are ‘cleansing’ what they see as a social nuisance.

Sokhom’s story

As a young teenager, Sokhom thought he could help his parents escape poverty by finding work in the city.

He left their small farm in rural Cambodia and found a job as a construction working in the capital, Phnom Penh. But the heavy labour was too difficult for him.

Sokhom became one of the thousands of children living on Phnom Penh’s streets, begging for food and sleeping on the ground because he couldn’t afford to return home.

Sokhom was in a terrible condition after months on the street. His life only improved after he went to the Bamboo Shoots School. There he received food, shelter, basic education and health care, and most importantly, was reunited with his family.

Helping street children

Many organizations, including Egwells Nest, run programs to shelter or help the growing number of street children.

This includes operating centers like the Egwells Nest Centre in the Eastern Region. Here children are supported to stay in the classroom and off the street. Medical support, counseling and vocational training programs also provide children with a future beyond the streets.

Another Useless Story, The World Don't Care, Who Cares ?

2007-09-19T12:42:00.000-07:00

I have done lots of blogs on too much news about stars in the West! See they just play something with mouth and they are big ,they never invent anything, i have always asked this question ? When a so called star is in a plane with a pilot, the star and the pilot who is important ?
People are looking for some of the health they don't get it , you have it and you toying with it and hard drugs , Amy continue more grease to your elbows,because you live twice and die twice.
Take more drugs and die , when you die you get more media coverage, your album sales will rise and the proceeds be given to my fellow poor people and charitable organizations wow, that day i will celebrate.

Your parents in law were on BBC radio , saying your fans should boycott buying your album or you and your husband will die if you don't get medical help,l agree with them because you might hit rock bottom soon , just 23 years and you are playing with drugs , why don't you call Whitney Houston and ask her about drugs,well she might get defensive as all smokers defend it,wont even advise that as Whitney might get another smoke partner, so why do media even choose to write about you , its beat my mind, they see all the recent floods in London and the raging forest fires in Greece now and all the sufferings in this world , don't they ? well its part of their policy of sensationalism.

My God you are spending 19,700 dollars, per week at a Rehab treatment centre you checked in.

British singer Amy Winehouse scraps concerts, citing 'health issues'
LONDON (AFP) - British soul singer Amy Winehouse, in rehabilitation reportedly coping with drink and drug problems, has scrapped her forthcoming concerts for health reasons, her spokeswoman said Friday. And so What ? Did it bring the poor people water,light and shelter.

The 23-year-old, whose drinking habits have been well documented in British newspapers, has pulled out of this weekend's V Festival, one of Britain's biggest, Tracey Miller said.
And so What ? Did it bring the poor people water,light and shelter.

Winehouse, named best British female solo artist at the Brit Awards in February, will also miss France's Rock en Seine festival, where she was scheduled to perform Thursday.

And so What ? Did it bring the poor people water,light and shelter.

"Amy Winehouse is putting all her touring commitments for this month on hold until further notice in order to address her health issues," Miller said in a statement.
She might die trying to address her health issues.

"Amy will now not be performing at this weekend's V Festival in Chelmsford and Staffordshire. Her family has requested that the media respect Amy's privacy at this time."

When u admit publicly you on hard drugs what is private about it,whiles drugs can make you do anything in life and make you feel so low.

The singer was taken to hospital last week for what her record company called "severe exhaustion".

Reports alleged she had taken a cocktail of alcohol and various hard drugs.

Winehouse, whose best-known hit "Rehab" is about her refusal to attend an alcohol rehabilitation centre, was then reported to have checked into a treatment centre costing 10,000 pounds (19,700 dollars, 14,700 euros) per week.

She went home Wednesday but insisted Thursday it was simply to collect a guitar.

"I'm fine. I've put on half a stone (three kilogrammes) and I feel fine," she told BBC radio outside her native north London home.

Asked if reports of her drug abuse were correct, she said: "I wouldn't say so, no."

Her husband Blake Fielder-Civil admitted Thursday she had "a few problems."

"It's been a difficult time for me and Amy, the fact is we are still together and going back to the place tonight," he said.

"The main thing is that me and Amy are getting better. Don't worry, she's being looked after. We're going back to this retreat. She's determined to get well.

"It's not as bad as everyone thinks but she's fine, she's loved and looked after."

Winehouse has been nominated for best newcomer and female artist of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 9.

The singer is scheduled to tour Canada and the United States next month and Europe in October.-YAHOO NEWS
And so What ? Did it bring the poor people water,light and shelter.

Island Records the record company,what are you doing for this young aspiring bright lady and the other Stars on Drugs, its a shame to society when fans listen to your music getting inspiration, whiles star will be in a tight corner somewhere smoking drugs which can make people go from riches to rags.

Mental and Emotional Slavery All Over The World-The Church Menace-Story of Fake Pastors

2007-09-19T12:34:00.000-07:00

This Blog continues to deal with the extent of ignorance around the World.About where i live,Ghana, a very beautiful country,democratic,peaceful with its hospitable people,but there's still existence of slavery going on here, l mean emotional and mental slavery, savagery and ignorance is just the order of the day.

Things that beats my mind.
This picture you see up there is sold here in Ghana almost everywhere,right from the airport you will see names of shops and hair saloons with jesus christ and lots of taxis and buses with stickers or written on them jesus christ,perception is they get more customers or buyers with that name,l mean the picture of jesus christ,so be it,they go and take this foolish arab man's picture and claim to be jesus christ.
l would love to debate any intellectual or all the best Professors in this world, who thinks this picture is real.

l have come to realize one thing when it comes to religion people don't reason,you will see all these so called Great Professors sitting in front of some illiterates calling them selves pastors telling them lies and they never question their integrity,they believe them.

The funny part of it is, here in my country is not the white man making these pictures for sale,but the black man himself,its pitiful,black man feed your brains,your tissues are suffering,l recall going to a friend's house and seeing this picture boldly on the entrance wall Doctor Jesus, l was shocked,you will also find picture in a lot of homes here.

l feel bad and it's a pity when i see all these so called black pastors like T.D Jakes and Juanita Bynum making foolish noises on TV still praising this white man Jesus Christ,it clearly shows the black race hasn't come of age,well if thats what they believe so be it,l believe in a supernatural force,but i will also state here my believing in Jesus Christ or not doesn't make me a better or a bad man.
What has the Black man come to make of the white man's religion,where are you taking it to?

When you black pastors go and study Hypnotism books and come be claiming you can perform miracles u look so funny,if u can perform miracles let your miracles fly you planes and go into space,you think we are fools stop deceiving the masses,i have seen pastors throw their sweat towels and people falling down,some have taken off their jackets and people falling down,if they claim they can heal the sick,let them close all the hospitals in the world.

My Black Sistas and Brothas,why do you even think a white man's image of jesus christ will even or ever listen to u.
This Juanita and Jakes you guys behave as if you met jesus christ a day before or the night before yesterday when u preaching,no one knows this arab man or whatever he is called not even God,we can only feel him.

And why do you want to talk or preach about Jerusalem,Nazareth,Red Sea,Bethlehem and the rest,what is happening in all these places today?can you research and tell me, the people who even live there are not Christians,so whats your problem,Look at what is happening in Israel and the Middle East today.

Now religion has taken a new turn where i live,we have no lights,water,jobs and schools,but all you see are the building of churches everywhere,do you go to church to get a degree ?
Churches are being built with air conditions and plush offices having accountants, managers and auditors.
Why don't you build factories?

Here in my country pastors are up 3 am preaching so loud,whiles u are sleeping, most newspapers front pages here reports daily if its rape and fraud it's a pastor,if a lady cheated on her husband she did it with a pastor and they were exposed.

Now these churches organize buses to pick you up from your door step,you see it's business they pick you up free because you bringing them money.now all the young guys are leaving school its either fraud or thinking how to start a ministry in africa.

even in Europe where the missionaries who brought us religion came from, churches are being turned into museums because no one attends,example in some parts of Greece and France.

So Mr. Black Man, where are you taking all this white man's religion?
Something is wrong,and i bet if all these pastors are real,when they get sick they shouldn't go the hospital if some foolish white man above the skies is hearing them,why do you eat when you are hungry,why don't you pray and be full?You will die,you think you live twice haha.
Because you are afraid to die,so you cherish life , haha, l thought you always talking about leaving the earth to go a special place where every thing is excellent and beautiful,you are afraid to die but you want to go to Heaven?

Let me tell you two funny stories,there is a church close by where i live,they disturb a lot always from Monday to Sunday, they always have program,one night i said i will test their faith, was christmas,and i got firecrackers,l went close to the church site they were saying their so called tongues which is believed to be said only when the Holy Spirit descends on you,i lite 2 strong one's,they exploded with a strong bang,then i saw the pastor running away,he was the first to take off and church members started to run shouting eh the devil has come hey satan is here,church was left empty,was just laughing i said look at them,men and women of little faith,they don't even know what they are doing or talking about.They had no faith.

Do you believe that churches here have something called all night prayer service,where people go, pray,shout and sing from 8pm till 5am in the morning ?
one time i was with some white girls from Canada we were coming from a party around 3am and they heard noises, they asked me, i told them and they thought maybe the people there might be crazy,they asked if they can call the cops, because even jesus himself might be sleeping by then, sometimes they carry sticks with them claiming they are going to beat up satan.

What annoys me most is when they claim to be God's children,who isn't a God's child,we were all created in the image of God, no one is special,when you see all these goulogous name i call these fake pastors on TV , don't be scared or nervous,they're nothing and they aint gonna be nothing,they don't eat special and they wont die special,we all gonna go down that 6 feet deep.

A friend of mine,whose mom was victim for so many years for these fake pastors told me sometimes they hardly had anything home to eat,but her mom gave so much to the pastor and here its not even like they do charitable work with the money,it all goes to the pastor's pocket,they just live off the church members or just extort , so he said he use to see all the envelopes of monies his mom sent to church,was just too much and always complained to her,mom we have nothing to eat and you give all this out,he started taking some of the monies out,sealed envelope before they get to church,he never liked going to church but his mom always forced him against his will,so when they get to church his mom will check money and was short,so she constantly complained to church that some spirits steals some of the money from coffers (the people can believe) because she was part of ushers so she counts monies too herself,upon several complaints his mom stopped the church,but anytime he took some of the money he bought food items home,mom was happy she asked him my son where did you get the money from ?son will say somewhere and she was happy.

Church is now big business in Africa,its only the pastors and their many wives who are enjoying and driving in all the good cars because they always preach to the masses seek ye the kingdom of God first and everything would be added, and the church members are the one's always suffering and poor.

Some black men and women from africa who lives abroad are condoning and conniving with some ordinary white men and women claiming to be pastors to come and extort from the poor here,now all you see on billboards here in my country are adverts of 2 or 3 day convention being held here displaying the faces of some white men claiming to be pastors and the masses here too they believe in the color of the white man so once they see their pictures on adverts they just go,too bad, so you see some of the ways the black man can steal from his own black people, reason why africa is the only retrogressing continent,human beings,beautiful women have been tied up to trees in so called witch camps just because pastors found them witches,i went to see one personally in another region , can you imagine such a thing happening anywhere in the west ?but they better be careful,Every Dog has its Day.

Some of us we can only educate and enlighten you,be careful and never fall victim to these pastors or mushrooms churches for it is like a spirit or addiction once you join, will be very difficult to part from them ,save your hard earned money and always work out,the only guarantee to long life, What i term New Start.

If Jesus Christ truly came,he came to give you some common sense and brains,use them,did you see him build anything for you? no he just spoke,so some us we will continue to speak.

These are all my views and thoughts,if u want to take me on,take me on,like we say in the 2nd Airborne am ready for battle.

I believe there's a supernatural force, don't push me too much.

This Poem Touched Me So Much, Drug Abuse (Cocaine)

2007-09-19T12:32:00.000-07:00

My name is Cocaine (anon)

My name is Cocaine - call me Coke for short.
I entered this country without a passport.
Ever since then I've made lots of scum rich.
Some have been murdered and found in a ditch.

I'm more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold.
Use me just once and you too will be sold.
I'll make a schoolboy forget his books.
I'll make a beauty queen forget her looks.

I'll take renowned speaker and make a bore.
I'll take a mother and make here a whore.
I'll make a schoolteacher forget how to teach.
I'll make a preacher not want to preach.

I'll take all your rent money and you'll get evicted.
I'll murder your babies or they'll be born addicted.
I'll make you rob and steal and kill.
When you're under my power you have no will.

Remember my friend my name is " Big C ".
If you try me just one time you may never be free.
I've destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero.
I've decreased bank accounts from millions to zero.

I make shooting and stabbing a common affair.
Once I take charge you won't have a prayer.
Now that you know me what will you do ?
You'll have to decide, It's all up to you.

The day you agree to sit in my saddle.
The decision is one that no one can straddle.
Listen to me, and please listen well.
When you ride with cocaine you are headed for hell !!!

Church in Ghana and Africa Today

2007-05-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

: Ghana oh my beloved country the only thing some of us can do is to educate you.
Now schools are being turned into churches on weekends,right near where i live there's a very big school from Day Care to Junior Secondary school,what do u see on weekends,in each classroom there's a different church with names on banners.

Factories are being turned into churches too,now the ordinary Ghanaian wants to pray from Monday to Sunday from morning to evening and all you see are these pastors getting richer and richer and the church attendants always remaining poorer and poorer,something is wrong.

Even the Missionaries who introduced the Bible and Church to us only opted for Sundays as worships day,now black man you want to go to church every day,what do you expect from God,if you don't use your brains God is not going to come to help you.

Reserve parks or Conservation Parks are all being turned into prayer camps and all animals are being deprived of their shelters because of drumming and singing in one way or the other.

Some villages here have some prayer camps which have tied and chained older persons (women) who have been falsely accused of witchcrafts.

Some go to these parks and rent chairs for a fee to sit to listen to these unscrupulous pastors and even buy holy water and stuff.
In my community you can count more than 200 churches more than schools and factories.

My people know that when you go to church you don't get a degree and what is going on is extortion,no one knows God,we only feel him,some of these pastors behave and act like they know God personally which is funny and sometimes they act like when they die they wil be buried different,my people ask these pastors that why is it that when they are hungry they don't pray,then they will die and see,life is all we know and we better protect it than some preachers telling us about where we will be going after death where no one has been and come back to tell us.

You see little kids carrying products on their head selling to make ends meet for their families,no one cares,schools and hospitals are ill-equipped,our universities has lost their sense of direction still training people to be civil servants whiles we need professionals to tackle economic problems.

Development in most African countries mean beautiful houses and cars,its not for government to implement good and sound health insurance policies,protect its citizens,good incomes, good governance, communications and better the human rights of its citizens.

The Members of Parliament ( MP's) they bring in More Poverty (MP's),once they get power they forget their constituencies and all they think about is their stomach's.

2007 whiles other's are planning to go to the live on the moon,you still can't even provide the basics (light & water ) for your citizens,all the government knows is buy big cars and and wear 2000 $ armani suits to go and show its to the white man.what do u hear always conferences, seminars and workshops on how ministers will shave their nose and how insects will have sex all yields nothing.; Put on the TV in Ghana what do u see,dancing all day people dancing,they don't show any physics or educational programs,we have become dancing fools.
A new breed of Ghanaian leaders are coming,all this nonsense will stop l'm proud to be one.

The Creation of Valentine's Day in Accra, Ghana

2007-05-20T10:45:00.000-07:00

I think we have adopted Western culture we are calling Valentine. In the years to come, I think that we will respect our festivals of this country, too, as much as we are respecting foreign festivals like Valentine. On a day like this, the only thing that makes me happy is the red color, but not the Valentine celebration itself.

But worse, people are starting enjoying it, and I am not stopping it.
But if you want to celebrate something it is always proper or prudent to celebrate it right.
Today people misunderstand that it's a day of lovemaking. It's a day of showing love. To some people it's a day of drinking, some people it's a day of eating, some people it's a day of disease. I'm telling you. It's not an ordinary day. One thing I would like to tell married people, if you want to celebrate Valentine Day, stay with your married partners. So unmarried people, if you want to celebrate Valentine, make sure that it is platonic. Because in cases like these, with people who misunderstand it, they tend to make nonsense of it. In this new age of AIDS/HIV, you cannot afford to do these things in the name of Valentine.

If you go to sleep with an infected person, Saint Valentine will not save you .... AIDS is real, one strike will kill. Some people say that on a holiday HIV virus goes on holiday, too. They are lying. They are very active on Valentine Day. I am telling you. The person is a liar if he tells you HIV goes on holiday. Talk of the devil. Every day two hundred people are infected with HIV virus they can't see. On Valentine Day, three thousand people are infected. I'm telling you. So watch out.

Given this kind of criticism, media promoters of Valentine's Day have begun backing off from their more controversial promotions. Contest prizes involving stays in Ghanaian resort hotels and vacations abroad have ceased to be offered to any entrant. Contestants need to demonstrate that they are married or "seriously engaged." (The term "seriously engaged" refers variously to those who plan to wed formally but at a later date and to those in mpena awaree relationships.) A certain defensiveness has entered holiday promotions. One media professional expressed irritation at this criticism and media's need to respond to it: "People will read into Val's Day anything they want .... There's plenty going on in Ghana. It just doesn't happen [only] on Val's Day"

Africa Celebrating What Valentine's day ! haha It's a Joke,We've Adopted a Western Style Culture

2007-05-20T10:34:00.000-07:00

: Africa doing what ? Celebrating Valentine's ! This is a joke,this is the most wicked continent, where wars are all overs, people kill each other because of some small property or money,people can look into their fellow human beings eyes and amputate their legs and hands,scams all over and where's the love?
We don't love ourselves,we hate each other,always trying to bring one another down and we don't love our country too, every one you talk to here wants a visa,lets bet let 3 big war ships dock at our ports that they want slaves,you will see the president will be the first to take his families and then you will the entire country following.

A continent where u can love someone one day,you can meet someone an hour ago and love him or her without even knowing the fellow. l was shocked when one Ghanaian lady in hotel was telling a white guy she just met that she loves him, and the white guy was saying how u don't even know me, l might be a killer, she goes like no no, you are a white guy you can kill, you are too clean.ha ha part of the ignorance.
went out this evening and to my utmost surprise, i saw people wearing red to celebrate this commercialized holiday.

The great people who championed our independence for us, we haven't even built Libraries in honor of them and you celebrating Valentine's day.
What did Valentine do for u? Did he bring you light or water, you don't even have the basics in life, water and energy.
St. Valentine left some thing and today generations unborn will come and experience it too, you are here in Africa, you can't hold your leaders accountable and ask them too, what they gonna leave so unborn generations too can enjoy.
the only thing African leaders can leave behind when they gone are disasters like diseases, filth, beggars because they themselves are begging always, scams, chaos,unsolved conflicts and wars, and i bet any of your guys who will read this to challenge me on which of the past African leaders retire and die peacefully, their death always remain in chaos or they die somewhere far away from home, exile or foreign hospitals, because they hardly build any good one's themselves.
my brothers and sisters, tell me if we had good hospitals why are African leaders flown outside their countries to seek treatment elsewhere.
because they rule with absolute power and wickedness, their leadership terms always ends with seeking exile somewhere.good examples are President Mobutu of former Zaire, Idi Amin of Uganda and Dawda Jawara of the Gambia.
l found one of the articles about the latter interesting.here i sit !

The Former Gambian President Alhaji Sir Dawda Jawara On Monday paid a courtesy call on the president Alhaji Yahya Jammeh at Statehouse after returning home from his seven years of self--imposed exile.

Sir Dawda went on exile on July 24th 1994 when young lieutenant of the Gambia Armed Forces headed by the then lieutenant Yahya Jammeh—the current President of the Republic of the Gambia overthrew his Government in a bloodless and peaceful coup d’etat.
Since then, he was based in the United Kingdom with his Family until the President Alhaji Yahya Jammeh granted him full amnesty to return to the Gambia as an elderly statesman.

( HAPPENINGS IN AFRICA ) POVERTY

2007-05-20T10:29:00.000-07:00

In Africa justice is to the highest bidder,the more money you have the more cases you can win in court,cos you can always buy the judge.when it comes to brain power we back off,when it comes to nonsense we show up.we have been raised not to ask questions,because we do not use logic,reason and common sense so we tend to rationalize everything.here i don't buy any government papers cos i don't wanna pay for my own oppression.

In africa death of children doesn't mean anything,the leaders here are so wicked that there are no children parks where even the children can go have fun or leisure.we like to damage or destroy eachother,we are like crabs in a barrel,one tries to come up the others pull him down forgetting we will all end up in the same hot barrel again,reasons we have all these civil wars,strifes or unrest.

Modern life requires energy and water,most places have no water and light,but you see the president and cheer,why do you see the president and cheer, when you're suffering,its beat my mind what kinda continent is this,so backward and ignorance is permanent.we are interested in show not value.niggers like show yeah !haha

When you talk they say water is not everything,l'm like water is not everything,when you don't drink water for 3 days you gonna die.Water is life.Here we are fed with ignorance,we are 15,000 x richer than England,but we've been brought up to think that we're poor,we're poor in the head,Mentally poor.we're morally and ethically bankrupt.Children are not going to school,cos they go round looking for water.

Most problems here are due to bad leadership and i think we have lost priorities and we like to color our language,it's time we got to take the truth and smile,if you think you are inferior you act inferior.Here there are no ambulances,if anything you'll die,governments here watch human beings die like animals and don't care.

When you become a minister you become rich over night,the vice president set up a committee during the world cup 2006 to make sure lights don't go off,meanwhile there are no lights in the hospital and no one cares,12 year old boy just died because lights went off and the generator failed,am gonna set up a committee too to find out why African's hate knowledge.Most people here have no principles and i understand,how can u have principles when you hungry,some do though.

In the Western World, one is trained to be a man or be indepedent, to stand on your feet, why isnt all these NGO's doing same but rather still training us to be dependent on foreign aid.

Foreign aid is killing us more than anything,we have gold,diamonds,timber,cocoa,8 inches of rain and sunshine through out the whole year and we still begging,black man what your excuse,even North Korea,with all the American B52's and jet fighters at their neck,they produce nuclear weapons and can display them during their anniversary.

Ghana for instance is gonna be 50 years on March 6th,government is intending to spend $20 million on that day,we can't even display needles,we produce absolutely nothing,just the kids will march and some man will stand there and be shouting whole day,after he goes home,no light and water,wife hasn't cooked and he draws a knife kills the wife,following day it's in the headlines.This is what's going on down here.

Recently African leaders were invited to china to go beg again,you leaders won't say hey wait a minute,these are people with half's of world's population,totaling almost 1.6 billion how do they feed their people and you going to beg them,aren't all these leaders ashamed,you see an African president in abroad what is he saying,thank you very much for your kind gesture for donating hand cuffs to my country,no one takes them serious as they're a joke,you ever see any African leader visiting the US and he's been put on the New York times or herald tribune front page,no but the serious one's like Polish President or Israeli Prime Minister visiting they put them there because they coming to talk serious.

A new group of African Leaders are coming who will change all this nonsense am proud to be one,In the end its not about me,but what we leave behind,posterity is what matters.

Black man feed your brains,your tissues are suffering.

Poverty & Ignorance in Africa

2007-05-20T10:17:00.000-07:00

We have no reason to be poor in africa,but it's been due to bad leadership,corruption and what l term property owning democracy.once we have gold,diamond,timber and lots of natural resources.

Belgium has no gold but go see their vaults they've taken all of our gold,in a land where the soil is so fertile that when u put a seed without watering it,seed starts to germinate.
The poverty in africa is mental problems,we're mentally poor.the difference between white people and black people l think is the white people build institutions and take actions,instead of just talk.for e.g. when a president gets shot or dies in America, America still moves on cos institutions are functioning.but in africa when a president dies things comes to a halt,either they close tv stations or radio stations and major institutions are close why should it be so?
Africa being poor and having so many ministers and deputy deputy ministers,education here is so bad that when u talk about it,ministers are quick to defend it,meanwhile they send their children abroad to go to school and initiate bad educational policies here,we are always begging,anytime you see any african leader what do u hear,we thank you for the development or we pleading on our country's behalf for more food aid or thank you for the hand cuffs your country donated to our country we are beggers to the extent that we even begging the Palestinians who don't have a state now.yes they all giving us aid.

A new breed of African leaders are coming.

Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Ghana may be championed for its political stability, but life for the average Ghanaian is defined by crippling poverty.

This Poem Touched Me So Much, Drug Abuse (Cocaine)

My name is Cocaine (anon)

My name is Cocaine - call me Coke for short.I entered this country without a passport.Ever since then I've made lots of scum rich.Some have been murdered and found in a ditch.

I'm more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold.Use me just once and you too will be sold.I'll make a schoolboy forget his books.I'll make a beauty queen forget her looks.

I'll take renowned speaker and make a bore.I'll take a mother and make here a whore.I'll make a schoolteacher forget how to teach.I'll make a preacher not want to preach.

I'll take all your rent money and you'll get evicted.I'll murder your babies or they'll be born addicted.I'll make you rob and steal and kill.When you're under my power you have no will.

Remember my friend my name is " Big C ".If you try me just one time you may never be free.I've destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero.I've decreased bank accounts from millions to zero.

I make shooting and stabbing a common affair.Once I take charge you won't have a prayer.Now that you know me what will you do ?You'll have to decide, It's all up to you.

The day you agree to sit in my saddle. The decision is one that no one can straddle. Listen to me, and please listen well. When you ride with cocaine you are headed for hell !!!

Poverty & Ignorance in Africa

My name is Cocaine - call me Coke for short.
I entered this country without a passport.
Ever since then I've made lots of scum rich.
Some have been murdered and found in a ditch.

I'm more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold.
Use me just once and you too will be sold.
I'll make a schoolboy forget his books.
I'll make a beauty queen forget her looks.

I'll take renowned speaker and make a bore.
I'll take a mother and make here a whore.
I'll make a schoolteacher forget how to teach.
I'll make a preacher not want to preach.

I'll take all your rent money and you'll get evicted.
I'll murder your babies or they'll be born addicted.
I'll make you rob and steal and kill.
When you're under my power you have no will.

Remember my friend my name is " Big C ".
If you try me just one time you may never be free.
I've destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero.
I've decreased bank accounts from millions to zero.

I make shooting and stabbing a common affair.
Once I take charge you won't have a prayer.
Now that you know me what will you do ?
You'll have to decide, It's all up to you.

The day you agree to sit in my saddle.
The decision is one that no one can straddle.
Listen to me, and please listen well.
When you ride with cocaine you are headed for hell !!!
