PEACEFUL ELECTION 2012, OUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY

With just about less than 2 weeks for eligible Ghanians to exercise their franchise in the most anticipated presidential and parliamentary elections, the presidential candidates and their campaign teams are vigorously using diverse methods and approaches to tailor their comprehensive packages of policies to win power; the electorates at the other end of the line have also made an informed decision regarding all that the political parties have presented to them.

In the same vein, individuals, NGOs, churches and other peace-loving group conscientizing, educating and promoting PEACE through different media- radio, television, drama, peace walk and others just to mention but a few.  At the heart of all these is the understanding that, or country Ghana must continue to live in PEACE before, during and after the voting- that is to say " elections is all about BALLOTS and not BULLETS", neither is it about clubs, stones and knives.

It's in the light of this, that I also write to re-echo, emphasize and add my voice to the numerous peace preachers that WE NEED PEACE in Ghana and so you and I as individuals irrespective of who we are (tribes/ethnic; black and or white), where we hail (North, South, East and West) and our political affiliations must STRIVE, HUNGER and THIRST for PEACE, whenever(day/night; raining/not) and wherever (markets, workplaces, schools, pubs, in cars- troski's, cabs and  etc) we find ourselves.

Yes, we are preaching PEACE PEACE PEACE, but it is not enough to just TALK about it, we must BELIEVE in it; and it's not even to believe in it, WE MUST WORK at it. This means the peace we are all yearning for MUST BE PURCHASED AT TOO HIGH A PRICE. If so, then we ( you and I- all and sundry) MUST be at WAR with our VICES (double voting,carrying ballots boxes, insulting and inciting others, abusing powers, rioting, violating  electoral rules and regulations and any form of behaviors that may serve as precursors to cause fear and panic) and be at PEACE with our NEIGHBORS and follow and observe laid down electoral rules and regulations to ensure safe, transparent and peaceful election.

All am saying is let us give peace a chance, because returning VIOLENCE FOR VIOLENCE MULTIPLIES VIOLENCE, just like ADDING DEEPER DARKNESS TO NIGHT DEVOID OF STARS- thus, HATE cannot drive out HATE, ONLY LOVE CAN DO. Nobody can buy us PEACE but OURSELVES. Let us all demand for peace, LOVE ourselves, be PATIENT, HUMBLE and TOLERATE each other because the MOST POWERFUL WEAPON WE CAN BE IS AN INSTRUMENT OF PEACE.

We have one Ghana and our banner must be Peace, Justice and Love. Ghana is our home and we cannot afford to strangers in other land.. God bless our homeland GHANA.
                                                                                  ................VOTE FOR PEACE; LET GHANA WIN. THANK YOU.......... Tag ur FRIENDS

ARE ALL MEN THE SAME? [PART 1]

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being loved for yourself, or, more correctly, being loved in spite of yourself. Every individual therefore feels loved, to be loved and be loved because the feeling of being loved is a strong and habitual inclination in persons that promote the good and happiness of one another.
However, individuals’ (ladies’) past experiences in relationships, recent exposures to men, happenings in the pool of love and most importantly the allure of additional benefits most men may be alleged to gain from love without much consideration of the adverse effects on the other parties (ladies) have made the saying “all men are the same” an ugly-attractive proposition in love and relationship alike and so most ladies have difficulty following the intricacies of different and new men and love.

It is against this back drop that I would like to make it known to the ladies and emphasize that all men are not the same. Yes, all men may be the same considering the changes they undergo during their puberty stage: deep voices, broad chest, etcetera and their nature as in carefully and precisely fishing for specific qualities and values about women which they use as precursors to admire, establish contact and eventually propose leading to the door way of love and relationship.
Firstly, I would want our ladies to however note that the sustenance of love, happiness and peace from the genesis to the revelation of every relationship is built on the individuals and their fundamental reasons for being in love, the environment and array of conditions and events that unfold in that relationship. Therefore, the degree to which an earlier sweet-lovely relationship later becomes sour and loses its values should not be attributed to one individual especially the men and also be generalized to be the same in all relationship they have and/or yet to enter.

It’s also a known and well established fact that most men are “dogs” that is, they (men) like chasing and flirting with almost everything in skirt aside the sole person they call their love but not all the men may be ascribed to infidelities in relationship. Remember that, we (men) are borne and raised by different parents, grow in different environment and more importantly belong to different religious denominations and therefore learn and receive different and comprehensive packages of lessons for moral uprightness. So not all the men CHEAT or go behind their lovers because from the earlier age we are taught the virtues of monogamy.

Even though, men naturally are known and always want to be dominant in decision making, most men are however meek, have listening ear and ever ready to allow room for participatory decision making for the welfare of the relationship. Also, some express degree of vulnerability and therefore give you (ladies) the chance to guide and protect us (men), which makes you needed, important and trustworthy.
I do not want to assume that all men from good religious background, of good character and with innocent appearance may be genuine. Though some men may be infidel, untrustworthy, dominant in decision making, liars and whatever your experience may be, always remember that “all men are not the same” because we are all not the same. Let someone love you because you deserved to be loved…….. to be continued
