PATRIOTIC CREED

-


LIBERATION


A student once asked me: "Master which tribe do you belong to," I told him without mincing words that I am an Afrikan and a Ghanaian just like him.
I didn't bother to question the intent of his question but guessed the answer satisfied his curiosity.
Sometimes our allegiance to our selves, our families, our ethnic groups, our professional associations, or our various religious sects and political parties gradually sucks the relevance of our love for Ghana.
The late Mrs. Theodosia Oko
designer of the Ghana Flag 


The greed in our creeds; the interests in our inquest;
the burden in balancing the blessings in our unique diversity;
the sins in our souls;
the omissions in our mission;
the cost of the connivance in our corrupt course, and our benign negligence in almost everything we do, seems to have molested our patriotic affection for our beloved country.
In fact, our odd ways, seems to make a nonsense of the right practical ways of engaging in the affairs of this beautiful nation.
And the fake solution we've over entertained in shifting goal posts or finding the comfortable -ugly scapegoats to blame for our woes, has practically punctured our patriotic zeal.
But today, Saint Paul in a letter to the Romans and copied to we Ghanaians on this day, reminds us that we "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Roman 3:23).
He reminds us that we are not doing well in protecting our once rich vegetation and properly taking care of Ghana.
Saint Paul, like our Forefathers who toiled and shed their blood for our independence, is unhappy about our dying love for Ghana; the share greed of grabbing everything and the sin of our benign negligence condoning with our politics of nepotism and the others.
And like the prodigal son in the Gospel of Luke 15:11–32, we have to reflect on our ways and return to the ways of our God and be more patriotic.
Sun beams of hope
So beloved countrymen let's reconcile our hearts with our Loving God and live the testimony of our progress.
Fellow citizens, please let's reconcile ourselves with one another and make peace a reality.
Fellow Ghanaians, let's amend our false patriotic piety and march past our greed to become truly liberated for God and Ghana, because we are not children of a lesser god. 
So let's unite in our forward liberation march.

                                               God bless you

In the 2023 Class

With Thanksgiving we crawled to crossover to this year. We entered the class of 2023 with renewed expectations, We joined the class with hope and resolve to inch higher. We stretched our yearnings in our white gear with glee, At the permission to exercise the gift of life in 2023. With the epiphany of the inceptions, We had the baptism of some pleasant unpleasant news. There were some unexpected expected goodbyes. There were economic downturns that touched our smiles. All in the process of the 2023 class. With some miracles here and there, We trekked the evidential path of experience of liveliness. We learned lessons through our encounters and engagements. There were low-high or high-low important rewarding moments. All in the vicinity of the 2023 class. With the melting pot of people, culture, influence, power, We remember the flooding that overwhelmed our comfort. We recall the vulnerable tears and the solidarity of our people, All in the memorable 2 023

Honouring the Elderly

In the library of living legends your name is recorded. In the library of borrowed hearts, our connections still live. In the library of our common history, a society of experiences still breathes. In this library of hope, are shelves of lives that still thrives. In this library of human resources are many with miles of smiles, Entrusted with a priceless collection of ancient folklore. In this library of pages are those with ages who guide us through the reality of this perilous-fun loving matrix of life. In this library of changing scenes of adventures are memories of moments worth keeping. In the present library of our future are the pillars and linkages of our common heritage buried in our bloodlines of our ancestry. This is why it's proper to revere the elderly in our society. This is why it's vital to honour and celebrate their contributions. This is why it's necessary to listen, learn and leverage our connections with the elderly and become better. Greetin

A Blessed End of 2023

Several years ago, I went to town not to crossover or watch the might of the last day's night but to feel the air of the last day. It was somewhat noisy, phony, and funny but I just didn't like the depth of creativity in the way Christians were using to cash in on the last day of the calendar. Today is D-Day or call it the mother of all nights or the Climax of all the overs: in Crossover, Climb over, Crawl over, Jump over, Scale over, Scream or Shout over, Sprint over, Run over, Pray or Push over, Watch or Walk over, Take over, Limp over, Jet over, Dive over, Lift over etcetera. It's not just enough to do the watch night and the so-called crossing-overs but to soberly reflect on our lives, and our attitudes in the past 365 days. We need to interrogate our efforts, our Care, our thoughts, and our actions or inactions so that we will individually and collectively access ourselves. Even in our reviews, overviews, and counterviews of our efforts in 2015 we can&
