Speaking to some Ghanaians in the USA, President John Mahama stated among other things that; Ghanaians do not appreciate what they have and complain a lot—forgetting that, some places are worse…
He said “Unfortunately in Ghana, we don’t count our blessings; you can have a glass and pour some water in it half way, you can describe that glass as half empty or half full.
“If you describe it as half full you are motivated to put some more water to fill it. If you count it as half empty then you are de-motivating yourself,” President Mahama said.
He continued, “it is only when you count your blessings and count your successes that you have a certain motivation to build on the successes you have achieved.

I think a little honest scrutiny should be thrown the way of our Men of God every once in a while. We put them on this ‘high and mighty’ pedestal where they can do no wrong, and it allows them to take advantage and get away with things they ordinarily should not get away with.
If we aren’t willing to do this, we certainly should take the opportunity when something fishy comes along to ask these questions we would ordinarily not ask. A person’s status should never shield them from having to answer the honest questions of the baffled multitudes.
This church collapse and the aftermath have raised several valid questions about T.B Joshua and his church. There was neglect in the building plans that led to the accident; there has been a certain ineptitude in dealing with the fallout from both SCOAN and T.B Joshua that warrants scrutiny by any open minded person.
Unfortunately, T.B Joshua disagrees, as in a message to his congregation has thrown a metaphorical bull’s eye on all those questioning him. Apparently, anyone who dares question his good intentions must be an enemy agent and should tread carefully, as God would deal with them, and quite harshly I should add.
“This issue at hand is a delicate issue. People are using all this to gain money and friends. This is a warning. Whatever anybody wants to write, let them write it; they will be the ones to read it”
I said, our God will get back to them. He has started somewhere. He is coming. If your brother is involved, unless he can resurrect the people who died, he will join them. If you can resurrect the people who died, you can go free”
“The servants, the people who sent them, the people who heard the stories all around and those who want to use it for themselves and disturb my spirit, you may likely join them. Be careful, to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Let us be very careful of our tongue”
So the critics should tread carefully, God is on the warpath. He is looking for blood, to atone for those smearing the name of his good servant. And we all know what God is capable of.
“I pray the satanic agents should be the only ones to suffer this. I said, our God will get back to them. Warn your family and brothers about their talk. You will know I am a man of God this time. People who are looking for your downfall and run to disturb your spirit, warn them to be careful of their tongues and the people who come to them. Godis a God of vengeance”
I was reading a young lady’s blog today. Her name is Nana Ama and she wrote about why President Mahama just may go down as the worst leader ever. I was intrigued although there’s nothing about her rant that is a lie. We all know the facts and we have all vented in many ways but let me ask you, do you think/feel the same?
If you are old enough to have seen several governments before this one, then you will have a more objective and acceptable view.
I personally haven’t seen too many but I have witnessed enough to form an opinion. I was born into the Rawlings administration and I remember that period for some intensive focus on agriculture which yielded results. If for nothing, our bellies were full!
Then came his former Excellency, John Agyekum Kuffour with his financial sector improvement. His government was accused of many corrupt practices as it is with every government but we saw him improve on many things too. Ghanaians nicknamed him the gentle giant.
Fast forward to Agya Atta Mills who we lost to the cold hands of death. The ‘Asumdwe Hene’ did his best for Ghanaians and although we didn’t grow as fast as we wanted to, we at least managed sustenance.
Since Ebola reared its ugly head and took West Africa by fear, there have been various conspiracy theories emerging in Liberia blaming it on the United States. It has now however been taken to a different level as a major Liberian newspaper published such claims made by a professor in the United States.
Huffington Post reports that the Daily Observer, a Liberian newspaper has published an article by a Liberian born professor, Cyril Broderick who is an associate professor in the Agric and Natural Resources Department of University of Delaware claiming that Ebola is a direct act of Bioterrorism which was planned and successfully executed by the United States.
He further claims that these experiments were carried out by America’s Department of Defense. The manufacture and dispersal of Ebola is supposed to control rapid population growth.
According to the report; The United States conspired with Canada, the UK and France to fund Ebola trials on Humans just a short while before it broke out as an epidemic.
The very disturbing and heavy remarks made on the article suggest a wide belief in what professor Broderick is purporting.
Cholera has swept across Ghana in an unprecedented wave as authorities scramble to implement their too-late quick fixes.
The primary transmission method of cholera is through coming into contact with contaminated faecal matter. It sounds like a difficult proposition, unless you live in a perpetual wasteland of filth like some parts of Accra; which is actually the root cause of this current outbreak.
But it seems you can never be too careful, as a recent article in US web magazine Men’s Health has shown that there are several, everyday items you come into contact with that might carry these bacteria.
Looking at various studies conducted over the years, it shows that even washing your hands after every visit to the washroom would not be as much protection as you would wish. And since the bacteria in faecal matter cause a lot more diseases aside cholera, it is imperative to know these and take measures to protect yourself.
Here are six things that might contain faecal matter and several other bacteria that you didn’t know and come into contact with all the time.
Cell Phone
This one is actually simple; we carry our cell phones everywhere we go, and we never clean it.
It could be carrying anything, with London researchers having found that if it’s not even carrying the E.coli (bacteria found in faecal matter), it could be carrying any other form of bacteria, like influenza and SARS.
