From My Lazy Chair: Is Incitement NPP’s Strength?: I do not intend to sound like a prophet of doom. If the saying, ‘coming events cast their shadows’ is anything to go by, then I can seek s...

He Didn't Die Like a Soldier

He walked on the battlefield Bullets flying all around him Yet none flew close to his fur Because he was not a target He was safe even among reverberating grenades and tanks He did not swear to protect himself But his people...his own people at his own peril Yet he had to die at the hands of this blood-sucking barbarians Who mistook him for animal And pelted him with rocks His bones crunched as he pleaded for mercy His innocent blood was shed His frozen tears formed a confluence of blood Flowing freely like a fountain Mistake him not for a coward For pulling the trigger could have saved him From these wolves Who were only after sniffing his life out of him. He must die one day But not this way Not to be killed like a common criminal. He died in his prime serving his country, Serving his countrymen, Serving people who did not see his use - people who did not believe in him. He coul...

Mr President, Could You Please Come Again?

"VRA owes virtually every bank in Ghana and needs help to repay its debts. I don't have that money. If did, I would pay. Since we all use the power, we should contribute something small. I don't see that we have done anything wrong. I'm not here to make popular decisions. If that were the case, our nation would be in the ground by now." -President Mahama. I can't believe this is coming from the president. He may have sounded sincere to some of us but not some of us. Frankly, I am surprised. Here are my reasons: How did the debts arise in the first place? Obviously if you climb a tree, you don't begin to look for different ways to come down except the same way you climbed up. So I believe the VRA knows this just as the president, I guess. And what time frame are we looking at to finish paying up the debts so that we wouldn't be shortchanged? We need clarity on this. And would the new taxes be removed from our neck once we pay up ...

Is the World Watching the US?

Is the world watching the attempts being made by the U.S to 'attack' North Korea over the alleged nuclear ambition? Former leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussain, was accused of possessing weapons of mass destruction which later turned out to be untrue. U.S attacked that country and the repercussions are still there for us to see. Are we going to see the same thing repeated in North Korea? I hope the UN is watching and would remain quiet as usual because it receives most of its funding from the US. Perhaps the UN has failed the world! Assad of Syria was accused of using chemical weapon on his own people when it was reported that the said weapon including others have been surrendered. Yet US went ahead to launch missiles attack on Syria killing innocent civilians. Does it mean that the US has the right to kill wherever and whenever it can? And when others do same, then it becomes an issue of crimes against humanity? In any case, what constitutes 'crime against humanity?' Is it ...
