POSITIVE READING CULTURE, A NECESSITY.
READING CULTURE!
A wise man once said that where you will be in five years time will be determined by two things:
The friends you keep and,
The books you read.
Another wise man also said, “If you want to hide a treasure from a black man, hide it in a book. This is due to the fact that most people have a very poor reading culture.
There is the need for one to develop a reading culture if one desires to become a force to reckon with especially in this information age. There is no doubt that we have a very poor reading culture in this country and those who seem to have a reading culture unfortunately have an unhealthy reading culture because they read more of junks than good and vital books.
I have come to realize that readers are leaders and leaders are readers because a look at the stories behind the glories we see reveals that.
Why develop a reading culture? One may ask:
It is the pathway to greatness
True education does not necessarily take place within the four walls of a classroom. If you are not informed, you will be deformed; if you are not inspired, you will expire; if you are not updated, you will be outdated. Reading opens you up to vital information that will lead you to your transformation.
Anyone that desires to be great must place a premium on the acquisition of knowledge by developing a good healthy reading culture.
The difference between the ruler and ruled, the leader and the follower, the successful and the suffering, the prosperous and the poor, the teacher and the student is most of the time the information they have. If you have the information people need they will in no doubt submit to you.
It brings inspiration and motivation.
All through history, we have seen people inspired and motivated through books both in a negative and positive way. It will amaze you the dimension of inspiration you can receive when you give reading a vital place in your schedule.
Biographies and autobiographies of great men have inspired millions into their own dimension of greatness. You, no doubt must have been inspired by some of the books you must have read before and you can imagine what will happen if you read more.
It makes you learn from other people experiences.
A man that has passed through a route before you knows something about that route that you don’t know. You cannot argue with the fact that you need to learn from others who know more than you do and have experience more than you have. Many deceptively think that experience is the best teacher, but it is better to learn from the experience of others than to learn from your own personal experience. A wise man once said, “If I have achieved anything great, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of those who have gone ahead of me”. When you stand on the shoulders of those who have gone ahead by reading their books, you tap into their wisdom, knowledge, experience e.t.c. and that gives you leverage in life.
It sharpens your skills
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Just as physical exercise keeps you fit and healthy, reading is mental exercise that makes your mind to become exposed, fit and fresh. It is vital nourishment to your skills because it sharpens your skills. Whatever area of life you desire to be skillful in, make sure you read books in that field that is at least equal to the number of your age. E.g. if you want to be skillful in the area of investment, and you are thirty two years old, make sure you read at least thirty two books on investment.
It keeps you current in a changing world.
There is no doubt that we live in a fast changing world. The world is now a global village, and technology changes at a rapid speed. How else can one stay current in this changing world except by continually updating oneself to stay relevant! Many become obsolete and irrelevant because they are not current.
Continual reading keeps one current; makes one grow and takes the limit off one’s progress. If you don’t read, you don’t grow and if you don’t grow, you end up groaning.
It is a wise thing to be a reader due to its diverse benefit.
To motivate you into developing a reading culture without giving you practical tips that will help and give you the “How to” will be incomplete. The following tips will help you develop a good healthy reading culture:
Analyse your reading habit
You need to analyse and evaluate your present reading conditions by asking and answering vital questions.
Do you read at all?
How often do you read?
Do you plan your reading or just read anyhow?
Is what you have been reading beneficial to you?
Is your reading limited to one area or diverse?
Your answers to these questions will help you get started.
Create time for reading
To develop a reading culture, you have to schedule time for reading, because it takes discipline to develop this culture. If you are serious about developing this culture, it will not be a matter of having time but of creating time. If you don’t create time for reading, you will never have time for it. Discipline yourself to always read daily, no matter how small. Set a goal for yourself and work towards achieving the goal.
Balance your reading
Balance is the key of life. One therefore needs balance even in the development of a reading culture. You need to be current and versatile by knowing a little about a variety of issues. Don’t limit your reading to only one part of life.
Respond to your reading
It is not just okay to read a book, it is also vital that you respond to the book both physically and mentally. To respond effectively to your reading means to decide to act on and utilize the information you get from it in a positive way.
Know what to read and what not to read
Thousands of books are published and released daily all over the world, and even if you read one book per day, you can never exhaust all the books on earth. So it is very vital that you choose what you read. You have to be discreet in your choice of book, because, life is too short to spend on reading junks that are not beneficial to your destiny.
Make a monthly trip to the bookstore or library
It is vital for you to visit bookstores and library periodically so as to be current and aware of relevant books and new releases. You need to do this so as to peruse and review books.
Build / develop your own library
If any book is worth reading, then it should be worth buying. To develop a reading culture, you must rise above only borrowing books to read, to buying books to keep. Books are tools that come in handy from time to time, and they are a good heritage to leave for your children. Start building and developing a library now.
I have what it takes to challenge you to develop a reading culture. Everything I am today can be traced to book reading.
I have read an average of one book per week in the last twenty years without failing, and this does not include newspapers and magazines.
If it can work for me, it can work for you. Start the culture now!

THE CREATOR'S CREATION
THE CREATOR’S CREATION
Let’s, he said, “create a man in our own image’’
Created, moulded and artfully designed.
For his creation glorification.
Who is a mere man to reject?
5. Most beautiful of all creation-human.
Baseless of bases on what basis
Do you my co-creation reject? Deprive, despise him or her or them- Araba, Ato, Kafui, Aboagye, Adoley.
10. Your fellow creation, our fellow creation.
Elusion answers as mountain. You, me and all silence glues us! Faceless, massacre we cause them. Massacre of successful educational opportunities.
15. Massacre of socio-economic benefits.
All vain altar of physical challenge or disability we reason. Glaringly, celestials watch on and mock. Perceptional judgment discredits them. Dampen their spirits for workmanship.
20. Motivation and encouragement come not.
Man! Be loudly minded. Fleeting as shadow, shortly we wither. As the fleshy lilies for baking. Healthy and unhealthy just a minute difference.
25. Able and unable a matter of seconds.
See my beautiful and handsome friends- Araba, Ato, Kafui, Aboagye and Adoley. Are they the cause of their challenges? Joyfully, do they rejoice their physical challenges?
30. Yes and No! They tell me to tell you, You, the rejecter.
Able like all ables wish they were. But brainy, smart, intelligent and skillful, happy they are! They say, give them equal educational opportunities. As the supposed ables.
35. Who is man to reject God’s creation?
Do no more the discrimination in Education. Job opportunities, access to social infrastructure. Laugh me not in my search for social height. God is watching, who is a mere man to reject.
40. The Creator’s creation?

ANAS CONFESSSES
Lessons for the American Media From a Brave African Journalist
--------------------------------------
In October 2004, I found myself behind the locked gates of the Bang Kwang Central -- Thailand's maximum-security prison. Known in popular culture as the 'Bangkok Hilton', the prison houses about 8,000 inmates. Each new inmate mandatorily wears a leg iron for three months.
Inside the jail, I gestured the sign of the cross as I repeated to a line of prisoners: "Through God's mercy and the ministry of the Church... I absolve you of all your sins... in the name of the Father and of the Son... and of the Holy Spirit".
Cloaked in a cassock, I was doing what prison chaplains do -- offering penitence to convicts. Each of those convicts was either on death row or serving life sentences as drug couriers. Many of them were Ghanaian prisoners who told me about their suffering under the hands of the prison guards. They gave me details of how a colleague died the previous week from fork wounds inflicted by a prison guard. I made my notes for a story, and carefully exited the locked gates when my work was done.
To the prison guards, I was a priest. To the prisoners, I was a fellow Ghanaian who spoke their language and listened to their stories. To my editor back in Ghana, I was the reporter assigned to get a story in Thailand that would convince my government to take action. I was working undercover, doing what some academics call "high-risk, high-reward journalism".
Long before that day in Bang Kwang Central, I got my first job as a newspaper reporter. In the newsroom, I quickly got frustrated at the responses by politicians, cops and spin-doctors over the truth in the stories many journalists write. "We need evidence to take action," they'd say. I took those responses as a call to diligence, one that required reporting with convincing details even in worlds without open access. It was often at some grave personal risk.
In my TEDTalk, I tell the full story of how it all started. I look back on over 14 years of my undercover reporting. There have been high and low points, but one thing that remains is the kind of impact this kind of journalism brings. As a method of last resort, I always ensure I gather hardcore evidence whenever I get into a story. It is the kind of evidence that fits my three-tier mantra of "naming, shaming and jailing" the villains in my stories.
Over the years, I have heard and sat through the sermonizing of numerous apostles of ethics. "There's some deception in there," is what they often say. What they fail to convey is the fact that my kind of journalism is not aimed at the honest, transparent and law-abiding citizen or government. Their reasoning never takes into consideration one reality: closed and dark the world would always remain, if there's no way to lift the lid or shine a light.
How else could the plight of kids in Orphans Home of Hell be made known, when their caregivers violated their basic human rights? When some nurses in a psychiatric hospital maltreat patients and sell narcotic drugs to others, who can tell the story for the victims? How else can a nation begin the discussion on abortion rights and effective health care policy, if the abortion sex doctor who keeps having sex with girls before as a condition for illegal abortion is not exposed?
It is always a joy to reflect on how the efforts by Lincoln Steffens, Nellie Bly, Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and other muckrakers helped inject sanity into their society. In Africa, I see how the efforts of my formidable editor, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Sierra Leone's Sorious Samura, Kwaku Sakyi-Addo and many other journalists continue to shape the destiny of a continent.
Less than a year after I left Bang Kwang, my story engendered numerous debates by Ghanaian legislators in parliament. It eventually led to the passage of the Transfer of Convicted Persons Bill into law. The law now enables some Ghanaians convicted outside the country to serve their sentences in Ghana.
A colleague recently drew my attention to the total views of my TEDTalk, and then he showed me a comment by one viewer. It was a quote from Edmund Burke: "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little." My colleague smiled. He knew when it all started.

YOUR BLUFFS ARE FLUKES, BAAKO PUNCHES AGYAPONG
In a viral social media video, the Editor in Chief of the New Crusading Guide and Boss of Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Kweku Baako Jnr condemned what he called lies, threat and bluffing from Kennedy Agyapon!
Mr. Baako promised that the anticipated video will be showed On the 6th of June as advertised!
He said Anas is and will always remain focused and no level of distractions will dissuade him from his mission.
Kwaku Baako's comments follow the Assin North Mp, Kennedy Agyapong's recent condemnation of Anas' style of exposition of some alleged corrupt public officials. "He will soon expose the private intimacy between couples to the public if not stopped." Kennedy Agyapong noted. Mr. Agyapong described Anas as corrupt since he allegedly uses his investigation to dupe most of his victims. He said the Ace Investigative Journalist usually failed to expose members of the NDC and individuals who paid monies to his outfit after being found culpable. The NPP's outspoken member of parliament also cited Anas as engaging land guards to torment some residents around some parts of the Trade Fair Center in Accra.
Mr. Agyapong pointed some mansions owned by Anas in and outside Accra of which the well acclaimed journalist fails to pay taxes on. He challenged Anas to among other things show evidence of his sources of fund for his investigations and acquisition of properties. Mr. Agyapong flooded social media with some pictures he believes to be Anas and some of his team members and called on the general public to ruthlessly deal with them in case they try to prey on them. He also called
Speaking to the issue, Mr. Baako cautioned that even if Kennedy Agyapong and his allies succeed in putting an injunction on it in Ghana, the 12 expose will be shown on BBC and posted on the internet and social media!
He explained that this is not the first time Anas has been attacked verbally after doing an undercover video.
He revealed that the pictures released by Kennedy Agyapong are not that of Anas or any member of his teams.
Mr. Baako said he hopes Kennedy Agyapong is not speaking for NPP and urged the party to come out to let Ghanaians know whether Kennedy Agyapong and Kwame Baffoe are speaking for the party or not.
He hinted that the NPP supported the work of Anas when they were in opposition and it will be hypocritical for them to come out to say that they support what Kennedy Agyapong and Abronye are doing
Mr. Baako bemoaned the act of some NPP supporters defending Kennedy Agyapong and Attacking Anas and him. He said such individuals are fighting a losing battle and will regret their action since Anas is beyond attack. Mr. Baako said he and Anas have integrity and know what they are doing.
"Ghana has a lot of greedy corrupt thieves in public service. Ghanaians will support anyone who can use any means to expose those dishonest, selfish, corrupt, thieves and greedy bribe takers in our society who lack integrity!" He said.
"If you are hurt or not happy because either you, your friends or relatives have been exposed of their corruption, bribery and stealing, the best you can do is to go to court! " He directed.
He challenged individuals who have any evidence of wrongdoing against Anas to make their own video, name it Number 13, show to Ghanaians, expose him too and stop bluffing on radio and TV.
He intimated that the attempt to use character assassination to discourage and threaten Anas will not work as that makes the investigative journalist strong to continue with what he is doing.
He posited that Ghanaians voted for NPP to come and fight against corruption, bribery, stealing and punish those who indulge in it and Anas' style of journalism is in tandem with the party's goal.
Mr. Baako promised that the anticipated video will be showed On the 6th of June as advertised!
He said Anas is and will always remain focused and no level of distractions will dissuade him from his mission.
Kwaku Baako's comments follow the Assin North Mp, Kennedy Agyapong's recent condemnation of Anas' style of exposition of some alleged corrupt public officials. "He will soon expose the private intimacy between couples to the public if not stopped." Kennedy Agyapong noted. Mr. Agyapong described Anas as corrupt since he allegedly uses his investigation to dupe most of his victims. He said the Ace Investigative Journalist usually failed to expose members of the NDC and individuals who paid monies to his outfit after being found culpable. The NPP's outspoken member of parliament also cited Anas as engaging land guards to torment some residents around some parts of the Trade Fair Center in Accra.
Mr. Agyapong pointed some mansions owned by Anas in and outside Accra of which the well acclaimed journalist fails to pay taxes on. He challenged Anas to among other things show evidence of his sources of fund for his investigations and acquisition of properties. Mr. Agyapong flooded social media with some pictures he believes to be Anas and some of his team members and called on the general public to ruthlessly deal with them in case they try to prey on them. He also called
Speaking to the issue, Mr. Baako cautioned that even if Kennedy Agyapong and his allies succeed in putting an injunction on it in Ghana, the 12 expose will be shown on BBC and posted on the internet and social media!
He explained that this is not the first time Anas has been attacked verbally after doing an undercover video.
He revealed that the pictures released by Kennedy Agyapong are not that of Anas or any member of his teams.
Mr. Baako said he hopes Kennedy Agyapong is not speaking for NPP and urged the party to come out to let Ghanaians know whether Kennedy Agyapong and Kwame Baffoe are speaking for the party or not.
He hinted that the NPP supported the work of Anas when they were in opposition and it will be hypocritical for them to come out to say that they support what Kennedy Agyapong and Abronye are doing
Mr. Baako bemoaned the act of some NPP supporters defending Kennedy Agyapong and Attacking Anas and him. He said such individuals are fighting a losing battle and will regret their action since Anas is beyond attack. Mr. Baako said he and Anas have integrity and know what they are doing.

THE ANAS YOU KNOW NOT, REVEALED!!
Growing up as a child, Anas loved running errands for the elderly in his neighbourhood. An act which became habitual with him to the extent that it marred his thought provoking relationship with his bosom friend, Naabu. The act unknowingly set the tone for his investigative ambition.
Naabu on the other hand, cherished the company of his friend. He was however jaded with Anas’ addiction to greeting and running errands for the elderly. To him, Anas was gaining notoriety for this as it either delayed their daily agenda or often compelled them to prematurely terminate their interesting discussions or fun. Although they had been taught in school that greetings among other things removed fear, brought people together and showed respect, to Naabu, such importance of greetings were mere part of the numerous boring notes to be chewed and poured during examinations. They were not practicable in any way.
Any time he was the first to see an approaching elderly person whose presence could merit Ana’s cup of gold, especially when they were discussing funny past happenings in class; a moment he enjoyed most. He would try in a Tom and Jerry fashion to dissuade his friend from carrying out his addiction. His cunning pranks however, mostly failed to pan out.
In one instance, he shouted into Anas’ ear that his bully at school was coming in their direction. Within a blink of an eye, Anas dashed off as fast as a hare to the opposite direction without a second thought.
His alarm reminded Anas of Ibrahim’s previous promise to use him as a litmus paper for his latest style of punches, any time he cited his eyes on him again. This was after a Good Samaritan had foiled his previous attack on Anas when he tried to protest the exchange of his newly bought pen with Ogidi’s floated one. He only knew it was a false alarm on his return when Naabu’s explanation failed to add up. He ended up teasing Anas. Unfortunately however, the poor old woman had already gone and failed to taste Ana’s act of kindness.
He later saw Naabu’s tricks as blood smeared on a door post to remind the angel of death of the presence of an Israelite. Naabu didn’t know that his friend, whom he knew so well like the scar on his own nose and could predict like a Kumahood movie, saw the reason for his actions in different spectacles.
To Anas, spiritually, his act merited blessing from Allah and physically, any time he greeted or ran an errand for especially old ladies, for the first time; they asked him of the name of his dad. The moment he told them, they recounted his father’s past life which were unknown to the young boy. This they did, to prove to him that they knew his dad from the back of their hands and indirectly replicate Oliver Twist’s act in the workhouse. Anas enjoyed listening to his father’s good deeds. He saw them as unfinished business he had to complete.
One of such old ladies, aunt Fatima, who Naabu abhorred most and simply saw as a spoilsport, would gracefully highlight Anas’ father's feats especially those that related to his academic laurels and finally ended by saying, "no wonder you greeted me", that is if it came after a greeting or "no wonder you assisted me" in case Anas had ran an errand for her. Their narrations undoubtedly made him believe that the deeds of parents are the mirrors in which their children were seen.
One Friday evening, as the two friends were doing their Citizenship Education homework together in Naabu’s parents’ living room, Anas confessed to his friend that the information on his late father from the aged propelled him to take his studies serious. He revealed that his aim was to beat his dad’s academic records.
Naabu lauded his friend for his reason. He however said he was baffled that any time his father turned on his radio or television set to listen to news or follow media reports which he thought could influence his studies, all they heard was corruption and embezzlement of state funds by some public officials. He added, “These unfortunate practices are gradually eating deep into the fabrics of our society at breakneck rate”. He paused for a while and asked rhetorically, “Can you imagine that the act is more evidenced among politicians and public officials who are faithfully entrusted with the public purse with mouthwatering conditions of service?”
His father, ASP Baba Zakariah who was eavesdropping, was astonished at the sudden enthusiasm and observation of his fifteen year old son. He therefore leaned quietly against the wall to listen with rapt attention to the conversation of the boyos. Surprised Anas, whose mother had no time for neither radio nor television news asked his friend, “Are the deeds of such bad nuts in our society going to propel their wards to do worse than they are doing now for their unquenchable quest for wealth at the expense of the state? Then a bleak future awaits us, Naabu.”
Their conversation quickly reminded ASP of a quote from the renowned author of "Wealth for All", Idowu Koyenikan who said, “Show me the heroes that the youth of your country look up to, and I will tell you the future of your country.”
Naabu, retorted, leave them Anas, they are just literate robbers! ASP Baba suddenly remembered his university days, when as a campaign manager for his friend, Theodore Dogbe, he secretly bought twenty vetting questions for twenty thousand Ghana cedis to help Dogbe win his election through foul means. He was then vying for the position of National Union of Ghana Students’ president. This made his friend exude excellent performance to the amazement of his audience during the vetting process. No wonder he won the then election hands down.
ASP Baba saw his friend’s current corrupt practices as a Cabinet Minister as slippery effects of their dubious acts during their school days. He beat his chest for condoning all those bad deeds. He consoled himself with the fact that his regular connivance with Honorable Dogbe, to assist his father who was the then Speaker of Parliament, gave him the opportunity to be recruited into the police service. Although he had not done his national service by then. An act, he later regretted.
Anas remained silent for a moment, sighed and said to his friend in an ecstatic manner, “I see corruption in Ghana as cyclical. The poor primary school teacher acts corruptly by taking monies from students for favours. The teacher is cheated by the trotro mate by cheating him or her with the change or charging him higher. The mate is cheated by the police or traffic warden, the warden is also cheated by his superior for promotion and other favours. The list is endless”.
Naabu replied jokingly, “I put it to you that you are pointing fingers at my father that he is equally corrupt.” They laughed over the matter again. This made ASP Baba much tensed at his hid out. The once compelling father, only saw himself immersed in the lake of guilty consciousness and totally covered with an ocean of timidity.
Naabu went down memory lane and said, “I remember when I was a child, Issah, my elder brother one day knocked me in the head for removing his mobile phone from charge to play games. This made me wail to the hearing of all. When he realized that I was becoming uncontrollable which could make my dad repay him without question, he consoled me with a bar of chocolate. He then asked me to accuse Miriam, my cousin of beating me and I did exactly that when daddy asked me. But Miriam was not beaten anyway”. Anas also confessed, “For me a stern look from my bully which demonstrated the possibility of further beating was enough to keep my mouth shut.” They both laughed again.
This made ASP Baba think the children were snatching defeat from the jaws of their victory over him. Before he finished pondering over a plan to further counter their thought, Naabu continued again, “Anas although it is an undeniable fact that human beings by nature are inherently greedy and insatiable, as demonstrated by our greatest ancestors in the Garden of Eden. We must all be demigods in our own rights through the minute loyal services we render to the state even in secret. For it is said that the gentleman, is the man who does the right thing even without supervision and not the man who prides himself in ostentatious goods”.
“You are right Naabu”, Anas replied and continued, “My R.M.E teacher once told me that the Abrahamic religions most of us faithfully follow, thrived because they were made state religions. Hence, attacking them was tantamount to attacking the states and vice versa. I think we can prioritize the growth of Ghana with the same enthusiasm and attention we give to our religious lives”. Yes I support you. “Our pride in Ghana should not come after she becomes great, for she becomes great because of our pride in it”. Naabu added.
Accepting his psychological defeat from the lads, ACP Baba finally bulged out from his hide out. With a bold expression of remorse on his face, he corrected Anas and Naabu that although most rumors have some level of truth, news of corruption in the media were mostly allegations since a number of them were not proven at the law court. He however admitted that corruption is pandemic since its consequence is fatal than a civil war. He urged them never to back out from their commitment to stand against the vice. He entreated them to fight the canker with the interest of the nation at heart.
Sorry for cutting in dad, Naabu apologized and continued, “Daddy you are right because the good of the country is the good of all. While the good of only our nuclear families only attracts insecurity, envy, sleeplessness and makes us target of robbers”. “Yes son”.
ACP Baba nodded in agreement and jokingly added, “If robbery reduces, you will always have your dad with you at night because there will be no night patrols.” The three laughed in unison.
Anas warned, “We must also note that our evil acts against the country will not only remain on the lips of old ladies but it shall be captured by the media and preserved for the next generation. This will definitely be distasteful for the children of the culprits.” He therefore chose to be an investigative journalist in future.
I agree with you as well Anas. ACP Baba admitted. He asked them to always remember the words of a famous Indian public speaker and author, Vishwas Chavan who said, "If every citizen can get rid of indiscipline syndrome, we will have immense potential to build more productive, conflict-free, harmonious and peaceful communities, societies, cities, nations and world". With this, the discussion ended and the boys continued with their homework.
ASP Baba said to himself, “In fact Anas Yakubu and Naabu have indeed taught me that apart from Allah, the next Anas I should fear in my life are my kids since they can easily learn my corrupt nature and practice worst when they grow. What would happen to them if they are caught?”

I FILLED MY POOL WITH MY SHIT, CAN I TAKE A SELFIE WITH YOURS?
Historically, seven major laudable factors brought about the countless agitations against our colonial masters which eventually led to our attainment of independence. The most justifiable factor in my view was the exclusion of the local educated elites from the colonial administration at the time. What made matter worse was that fairly young and inexperienced white graduates were being appointed to senior positions in government at the expense of the highly educated and competent Gold Coasters.
This led to the birth of several pressure groups like the National Council of British West Africa, a brainchild of Ghana's Former Nationalist and Education
, Caseley Hayford among other nationalist activities. The readiness and willingness of the local educated elites to man the affairs of the country was echoed in Ghana's First President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's most quoted piece, "The African is capable of managing his own affairs".
Luckily, their agitations yielded positive results. You agree with me that till date, every major sector of Ghana's economy is manned by Ghanaians themselves. Hence, meeting the desire of the elites to serve. Most of such qualified Ghanaians excel anytime they are given opportunities to work in international organizations. Locally, dozens of Ghanaians busily brighting the corners where they are in spite of their meagre salaries and bad remunerations.
It often baffles me to wake up to the news of embezzlement of public funds by some public office holders. They fail to appreciate the fact that the office they hold is opportunity to exhibit the true tenets of their religions, to demonstrate their patriotism and love for their fellow countrymen. Through their actions and in actions, they waste monies which at least could have been used to tar the Elubo-Enchi road in the Western Region and other deplorable roads across the country. This could have reduced the mortality rates among victims, through whose sweat, such monies are generated.
Monies which could have been used to train quality teachers and provide teaching and learning materials to train the wards of such individuals to save them from the trouble of flying them abroad for quality education. YOU MAY ADD YOURS!
It is laughable to see such individuals who perform such dubious and malicious acts against their own country to impede its development fly sometimes with their families or "side chicks" abroad to enjoy holidays in developed countries built by their citizens through hardwork, patriotism and sense of responsibility.
It is interesting to see such individuals without shame, flood social media with pictures from such countries. As if to tell the world that "I was here some". Such acts are tantamount to filling their pools with their own shits and paying colossal amounts of money to take selfies with the neatly kept pool of their neighbor.
I ask, why don't we out of patriotism, sensitivity to the needs of our neighbours, the quest to live as healers, lift the fallen, restore the broken hearted and the desire to encourage the discouraged build our country with its scarce resources?
The performance of our national duties must not be based on the fear of being captured by Anas' camera, but on the sense of morality and patriotism. Let us rise and build Ghana together no matter how insignificant our contributions may be. Hence, our pools will become more attractive than theirs to attract their resources as well.

KILLING CHILD MARRIAGE IN GHANA, ACROBATIC APPROCH
For once, I thought the issue of child marriage was overhyped. Simply because I saw the act as a mirage in this twenty first century. In view of that I detested the waste of precious time and other resources on a practice which had already been conquered with formal modern education.
The story of a young girl I called Vida which unfolded to me at Kpaachel, a Kokomba village in the Northern Region of Ghana simply enlightened me. I encountered her during my voluntary teaching service in their village.
Her periodic outside mindedness and sorrowful mood compelled me to intrude my nose into her matter. Her confession simply amazed me.
She explained that at age fourteen, she was forced to marry a fifty year old man. This was done to exchange her for the man's grown up daughter who was to be married by Vida's elder brother.
Vida painstakingly narrated the horrific treatment meted out to her by her imposed husband. Her revealed ordeal killed me emotionally. Her uncontrollable tears got my cheeks flooded ocean of tears.
Her troubles ranged from periodic rape from her supposed suitor, forced Labour, termination of her education prematurely among others.
She one day reported her agony to DOVSU in Yendi when she noticed that her maltreatment was getting worse. Her parents were subsequently picked up by the police. They were counseled, cautioned and later released. Both were engaged and as a result, excommunicated Vida from her earlier village to stay with her elder sister who was married in Kpaachel.
Her situation became tougher in Kpaachel since almost all the men in the village harassed her sexually. This was because all the members in the village were related by blood and per their tradition, they were not to have any sexual relationship with one another. They were required to do that with members of the other surrounding villages.
This made almost all the men both young and old chase Vida to satisfy their libido. Troubled Vida could therefore neither concentrate in class nor have a peace of mind at home.
This opened my eyes on the issue. I therefore noticed that the media is not barking enough to ignite the need to stop the canker. Government, agencies and institutions that matter are not biting enough to deter others from the act. Rural community leaders are condoning too much with perpetrators. Individuals are
too tight lipped over the issue. Let us all rise and terminate child marriage acrobatically.
