We really don't need an economist to solve some of the problems facing this economy because most of the probles are very foundermental problems that our leaders can really addres. But the fact of the mat is our leaders are greedy. If i may a, have you really ask why the of Ghana uisusing new set of cars whiles the one used by our peace maker the late Prez is parked at the castle. It will take only God to change this country

I strongly believe the principle that by small and simple things are greater things brought to pass. let every Ghanaian wake up from bed with the spirit of "what little thing can I do today to help the nation? " we are Ghanaian, nothing can change that. The religious training's we receive are practice not only in our homes or when we are at church but every where. it behoove on us the youth to be more responsible in our dealings. I LOVE U FELLOW GHANAIAN. God bless us all.

ou always get bad leaders who steals from you and your resource to make themselves rich, You have many things that no nation can even campare her with you and iam pround to be part of you. Ama Ghana I hade wished to heal your problems and to save your children not because I love leardship but is because I can safe you from your tears. I HAVE A DREAM IF ONLY I GET THE CHANCE.

Lack of good drinking water was and still remains a major problem in these upper regions of Ghana although the former president Jerry John Rawlings and the NDC government did great for some of these areas by providing them with boreholes and pipe-borne water which has helped a lot in the eradication of the guinea-worm and other water-borne diseases from some of these areas. Not all areas in these regions have access to good drinking water. The NDC government under former president Rawlings also helped a lot in extending electricity to some of these areas. Once again, great help is needed because not all villages and towns in Ghana have electricity and even where there is electricity, frequent power "cut-offs" leave many in the dark. In other words, most small villages and towns in Ghana still live in darkness.

“Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a person's sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they're taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment - just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity! - an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exultation, only on the confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. It is an act that forces them to stand naked in spirit, as well as in body, and accept their real ego as their standard of value. They will always be attracted to the person who reflects their deepest vision of themselves, the person whose surrender permits them to experience - or to fake - a sense of self-esteem .. Love is our response to our highest values - and can be nothing else.” ― Ayn Rand

“انتخابات مزورة، كل شخص في البلد يعلم انها مزورة، ومع ذلك يعترف بها رسمياً وتحكم بها البلاد، ويعني هذا أن يستقر في ضمير الشعب أن نوابه لصوص سرقوا كراسيهم، وأن وزراءه لصوص سرقوا بالتالي مناصبهم، وأن سلطاته وحكومته مزيفة مزورة، وأن السرقة والتزييف والتضليل مشروعة رسمياً.. ألا يعذر الرجل العادي إذا كفر بالمبادئ والخلق وآمن بالزيف والانتهازية؟” ― نجيب محفوظ, Sugar Street

“Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.” ― Gore Vidal, Screening History

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Veteran network correspondent Sam Jaffe, who was forced to spend the final years of his life denying that he was a Soviet spy, is dead of cancer. Jaffe was 55 when he died Friday at his home in Bethesda, Md., a suburb of Washington. Jaffe had been a correspondent for Life magazine and CBS before joining ABC television in 1960. A year later he opened ABC's first Moscow bureau, but four years later he was thrown out of the country in apparent retaliation for a colleague's report that there was a major power struggle under way in the Kremlin.

One Russian-American spy scandal killed Eugene Posa. Forty-one years later, his family fears another one could keep his body hidden. Posa was a 38-year-old Air Force captain from Santa Monica in 1960 when he was tapped for a team to replace captured American U2 spy Francis Gary Powers for secret aerial surveillance over the Soviet Union. But a Soviet MIG fighter shot down Posa's Boeing RB-47 on its first flight. Posa seemed to disappear with the plane into the Barents Sea. It wasn't until 1992, at the end of the Cold War, that the U.S. admitted that the plane Posa was aboard was spying, not making the weather reconnaissance flight Washington officials had claimed. That's when Russia disclosed that Posa's body had been found by fishermen and buried.

Viewers watch horror movies because they love a good fright. But who's watching the watchers of horror movies? Scientists and researchers, that's who, and they're doing so because horror movies are a ripe field for those who want to learn more about the physiological and psychological responses to fear. Or maybe they just want to rewatch Jigsaw get a saw in his throat, because that never gets old.

Last year was really interesting. For me it was a year of service to our great nation, Nigeria. I will not bore you with the stories that surrounded that year but I will discuss something that was common amongst us who served at that time. Guess what it was… it was about expectations and confidence. But, confidence in what or put it another way, what was the basis or foundation for this confidence?
