SANITATION IS VITAL

-

The glory of a new day greeted the gaiety of our eyes and bathed our hopes with the happy morning rays. But the delight of the sunshine kissed the forehead of this son spotted along the arms of Kaneshie-Mallam-Kasoa Highway, about 56metres from Mallam Market, Accra. Not even the various syncopating medley of noise from the moving engines could distract his attention. His calm looks still bestowed a serene composure on him, even in his unkempt dressing. He appeared poised and ready for the day's task as he seriously laced his shoes, oblivious of who was watching him.
Did he care? When all he was looking forward to was to have a good day.
As of 6:30am, he had carefully packed a pile of bags of discarded things and rubbish he had collected perhaps after the mess the rains left behind yesterday. Though not privy to his schedule, Kwame (not exactly his name), from my minds eye is ready for the day's work of cleaning the remaining dirt around the market. Kwame's look this morning has communicated the need for cleanliness. Though his clothes looked shabby, there's this aura of cleanliness around him.

October has approached too soon, and the first Saturday is here too,  and I guess it's appropriate for us to spare sometime to clean our surroundings today.
In our quest to promote growth, methinks we ought to take care of our sanitation because it's a vital practice we should NOT toy with.
Have a blessed weekend. Greetings. 🌸

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&
