WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

   Never underestimate the power of your vision.  Never underestimate the power in your mission.  Never underestimate the power of faith.  Never underestimate the power of prayer.  Never underestimate the power of a united and well-motivated focused team.  Never underestimate the effect your smile and warm words can have on others.  Never underestimate the power of your imagination. Never underestimate the strength and wonders in your dreams and efforts.  Never take for granted the power of positive conviction and believe in one's capabilities.  Never take for granted the fact that you can walk and talk.  Never take for granted the fact that you have life.   Never take for granted the effect of your care and motivation.  As long as you live, appreciate the gift of life.  As long as you live,  revere the giver of Life. As long as you relate with others, value and respect all your relationships with man, and your environment. God bless you this day.

With the bumpy economic currents, It is understandable why the fanfare is cool and calm. But since a celebration is a celebration, And our Fathers are our fathers, It's proper to applaud and acknowledge our Fathers for their important role. You might have heard some of the adjectives. We know the strange sound of some of the accolades.  We are even told some fathers are experts at goal scoring, while others too are active providers, protectors and pacesetters. We are also reminded of some fantastic, loving but absentee fathers who have vacated their posts, and those who generously missed the green smiles of our growth. Time and again, we hear of fathers whose gallant toils and tears still stir us to sail. While some have long kissed the ghostly ashes of eternity.  Some still stand like pillars of discipline and foundation in our lives, while others still inspire fear through their uncompromising postures and fiats. Many fathers sweat daily to provide for their

Several swift Saturday shadows swam this sway, Switching the shades of sage to sing saturated songs on the soft streets of Saturday again. The stability in the day summoned the spirit of sobriety to sweep the same subtle shadows of another evening. As the seconds scan the space to signal Sunday to enter, do remember to have a soothing rest, even as you speak sincere thanksgiving to all our Fathers.🌹 Good evening 🌙  ©KYB ✍🏿18/06/22

What we are experiencing in terms of desertification, land degradation, and droughts, is much worse, largely due to human activities. Recent statistics of droughts in the horn of Africa, part of East, Central and West Africa are frightening. The testimonies of floods in Mozambique, South Africa and Accra, Ghana tells us the effects. This points to a precarious future for our society in the areas of food security,  water shortages, hunger and human survival if we do not take timely action.  The theme of today's World Day of Combating Desertification and Drought Day: “Rising from drought together” is an URGENT call for us to tackle desertification and drought. We can effectively address this through a people approach aimed at strengthening community participation and cooperation at all levels to mitigate the effect. And we can not fail in performing this needful task of saving nature to serve us.  Each of us needs to be mindful and conscious of this reality which should feed into our

In the June of Juno A joyful job comes Singing the tune of June In the fortune of days.  In your June story  Is a just desire to prune The dune of our jabs, To jet the jumps to your goals.  Your June story  Is opportune  To join the joints In our immunity.  Your June story Is opportune  To commune, Connect &  Communicate.   As morning rises into noon, May you glide in good health with renewed vigour in June.  I wish you a blessed month. Stay blessed 🙏🏿 ©KYB ✍🏿01/06/22

Sometime in May we mimic some musicians; Sometime in May, we moved with moments; Sometime in May, we mock the missive mints.  We met many  people with May markers; We made merry with our mothers &  mums; We minimise most major momo overtures.  Maybe it's not just a month of methods; Maybe it's not just a matter of miles; Maybe it's not just a member's memory.  But in between the mild makeshift moments of May; In between the modest margins of out measures;  In between the main market manoeuvres of May,  Maybe we should mark our Makers magnanimity, By mirroring the magnificate of this memorable May. With these many millions of marching minutes, I trust you had a memorable May?  May it be well with you and your family 🌹🌸🌺 Greetings from me to you ©KYB ✍🏿31/05/22

These are not the usual nicknames of some people, but the Baptismal names of some Migratory Fish Species swimming in the Black Volta Basin of Ghana. Yes, these species and their senior or junior sisters, brothers and cousins periodically migrate to: • fulfil their life cycle • access feeding areas • Increase success of reproduction • Boost survival of fish stocks in river systems While most living organisms walk, trek, crawl, float, fly, hop, jump, and match others swim in seasonal waters, rivers and streams. According to the 2020 Living Planet Index (LPI) for Migratory Freshwater Fish, there is in 76% average decline in these fishes migrating. And some of the fish species are endangered along their migratory routes. There are indications that the migratory fish that visits the  1,352 km Black Volta river, has declined. Researcher
