bE An an Xmas Revolutionary; Be A GAmE cHANGER

Santa Claus is coming !!!!!!!!!!! ''yeah we are indeed getting our wishes...my puppy, bicycle and infact, mum isn't Dad coming home for Xmas''? Things aren't looking good for these little kids, it was a bad feeling, sitting in a car with such cute kids and a wonderful mother, i thought everything was so cool, yet it looks beautiful on the outside but on the inside its

too bad guys,i said to myself. What struck me most was these kids valuing the presence of their dad more than anything else. Its celebration time everywhere but ''Charley ino bi everywhere oooo''. In some homes, as i passed by, i heard the cheers from the family parties, other homes were mild but seriously some homes were very quiet. Normal activities were going on,they don't seem to be part of the festivities. Its not like they are not christians who don't celebrate christmas, but for some reasons i can imagine. I only pitty how these kids feel, watching their neigbours kill the goats,drink and dance to sweet hip life and raggae tunes while they just look on. The tear in their eyes could tell, could tell how they wish all was the same or better. So what are you doing? how do intend to make someone smile this xmas.You might have eaten a bowl of jollof with 2 fried chickens with one soft drink and still have more to go. HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF ANYONE? How about together we change the game of XMAS? Lets go to the clinics/hospitals

the prisons/cells

, home of the physically challenged

Hellooooooooo guys..Just look around, there is someone right beside you, surprise that person. A minute of your time alone can change a lot, Be A game Changer. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. this festive season, don't be 'selfish', invite or join someone, let that person feel your company #XMASREVOLUTION the spirit of game changers. It could be your immediate family, all they want is you

Make someone smile oooooooo!!!

THE FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Whenever I get hungry, I think of how valuable food process engineering is. It is not just a course but an experience of entrepreneurship. As far as man eats and drinks, there will always be an opportunity for a process engineer. What interests me the most is the attitude to redevelop an existing concept. Building on an old idea,product into a new concept to meet a demand. Food process engineering represents the art of innovation. An innovation that answers the questions? The questions that have to do with convenience, satisfaction and unending love for a particular product. Engineers solve problems, they make things work, as such the discipline of food process engineering harbours an inch of every other engineering discipline,economics,law, IT management, entrepreneurship, and a lot more. Travelling across Ghana, I have realised the importance of this discipline to consumers. Virtually every community has a processing site. In some areas, palm oil processing is the dominant activity, interestingly the indigenes focus on how to fully utilise their raw material by processing the kernels into oil, shells as a source of heat and the fibre as door mat. Some areas produce salt on a small scale,package it nicely and distribute. Akpeteshie producers are no different and couple of products like the famous 'sobolo' and 'burkina' are all produced on a small scale, using the same principle of food processing. The question that boggles most people is;What can the food process Engineer do differently from the local processing methods? The food process engineer first and foremost study the current processing mechanism and designs a better plant to process the same material;from the raw material to a packaged product. He identifies the challenges with the old system and solve those challenges,He designs the system such that efficiency is optimum. All these measures are adopted to ensure that optimization is KEY,low cost but highly efficient. The engineer sees beyond the immediate product, he moves further to refine one product from the other, this is applicable because he is thought to understand the physical and chemical property of every material. The food process engineer applies his knowledge in microbiology to ensure that the food is highly safe,free from any micro-organism;by sterilizing the equipment at the appropriate temperatures and pasteurizing the food to kill all micro-organisms,especially disease causing organisms. Thus sanitation is very important to a food process engineer.Safety is not compromised at all, as a food process engineer, safety is a major factor that is unavoidable, safety of the entire plant and every unit is of prime interest. In some cases, he designs his own equipment when the need arises using the right material. What else about the plant? Is it Quality Assurance or Stastical analysis?Just ask the food process engineer. Above all these qualities, a food process engineer exhibits other positive mental attitude such as punctuality,diligence,hard work,good leadership skills that translate in every other activity. What fascinates most people the more is the versatility of a food process engineer. He is competent enough to work in any other discipline and excels at it. Be it a pharmaceutical industry, Bank, Petroleum industry,just mention it. Indeed FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING IS AN EXPERIENCE to live.

The CHOLERA Network......

How would you feel if you do all this right yet someones mess get to adversely affect you? As the popular saying goes,'one bad nut spoils the rest'. Excuse me to ask, Have you ever eaten 'faecal matter'? How about Cholera,ever been a victim? If you ever fell prey to cholera then am sorry to say that you once ate 'faecal matter'. Why? Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhoea, which can lead to dehydration and even death if untreated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae. This bacterium is developed from faecal matter, which is not handled properly. Thus anyone infected by the bacterium easily spreads the disease. SOME COMMON SOURCE INCLUDE: Municipal water supplies, Ice made from municipal water, Foods and drinks sold by street vendors, Vegetables grown with water containing human wastes, Raw or undercooked fish and seafood caught in waters polluted with sewage. CHOLERA SYMPTOMS: Signs and symptoms of dehydration include: Rapid heart rate, Loss of skin elasticity (the ability to return to original position quickly if pinched), Dry mucous membranes, including the inside of the mouth, throat, nose, and eyelids Low blood pressure, Thirst, Muscle cramps, Cholera Treatment and Prevention Although there is a vaccine against cholera, the CDC and World Health Organization don't normally recommend it because it may not protect up to half of the people who receive it and it lasts only a few months. However, you can protect yourself and your family by using only water that has been boiled, water that has been chemically disinfected, or bottled water. Be sure to use the bottled, boiled, or chemically disinfected water for the following purposes: Drinking, Preparing food or drinks, Making ice, Brushing your teeth, Washing your face and hands, Washing dishes and utensils that you use to eat or prepare food, Washing fruits and vegetables, Reference:http://www.webmd.com/

THE WATER WAHALA.....OOH!! GHANA.....

How often do you get water in your area? How about in your Village,do you have a running tap?What is the quality of water there?How do you even get that water?Hmmmm! Charley!! EYE3 ASEM OOOO!!!!!! It amazes me when we compare ourselves to no other but countries that are doing bad in areas that we do better in.Did i just hear a Minister of state boast of our water system,that ours is better than the water system in other West African countries? Isn't this funny? Do we know what goes on in Singapore,Lybia,California in the USA and a couple of others? oooooh! so its better to compare yourself with those who are doing worse than you are so that you get to console yourself with your effort,however poor it may be? Sometimes am tempted to say predecessors like Osagyefo Dr.Kwame Nkrumah should be re-born.#Just my opinion. As far as water is concerned, Ghana is doing so bad and i wonder if situations will ever change when it comes to issues of good drinking water.From the attitude of Citizens to the commitment of governments in providing every household with good water.Does someone even care? I can imagine what some countries in the desert would do if they have VOLTA RIVER, PRA RIVER,ANKOBRA RIVER,DENSU RIVER, WHITE VOLTA,BLACK VOLTA,TANO RIVER,OTI RIVER,BIRIM RIVER,OFIN RIVER and couple LAKES and DAMS.So we have all these rivers in Ghana,yet we struggle so hard to get water,not even quality water but just water for our chores? We rather prefer to Dump refuse into all these water bodies or even mine minerals in them,which later results in the intoxication of our water bodies.Watching TV sometimes baffles me;Seeing animals compete with humans for drinking water,plants dry out all because there is no water for irrigation,Ghana this!!? I wonder if the issues of water matters to someone at all? What do we intend to do in our own small way to change our story in relation to water? Interestingly, we are as well blessed with so much rainfall,however this blessing rather turns into a curse sometimes,it yields Floods that destroy food crops or houses and even take lives.Sometimes you just ask yourself,are there no channels of collection for treatment? or Ghanaians are just too stubborn to have choked our drains. In singapore,waste water is refined,it is gathered,treated and processed for drinking,similar to what goes on in California.Waste water from every household is collected in different sessions and treated for consumption.So what are we doing wrong? Don't we have policy analyst in Ghana? How about environmental engineers and all those professionals who understand these related issues? When will all these change?huh!? Guess what!,we even have the SEA!.In Lybia,the sea is converted into drinking water where the salinity of the water is reduced to the bearest minimum and transported to the various consumers.So why cant this happen in Ghana?.When will Villagers stop drinking from polluted rivers? When will they have their own reservoirs? When shall we have reliable water systems? May be if our leaders who visit these locals stop carrying mineral water with them they would get to understand their situations and will steadfast progressive plans for development. This is what i think: 1.Ghana is blessed with a lot of water bodies yet Ghanaians pollute the water bodies by taking their livestock to drink directly from these bodies thus contaminating them.We also dump waste into these bodies from Industries and House holds. 2.I see no innovation in redefining our water industry;since i was born the method of obtaining water in my village has been the same.In the city,the story of water in my opinion is still the same. 3.No one cares i guess;both citizens and government. Funny enough they blame each other instead of finding ways to improve on our status. I pray someday there will be a reliable water system in Ghana. Someday i Guess....

THE EBOLA VIRUS...........GET READY.!!!!!!!!

How informed are you on the Ebloa Virus?Its getting scary everyday considering our status as a country,Is Ebola in town or on its way?The scare of Ebola hitting Ghana is on a life line.How much of detailed education has gone on as far Ebola is concerned?How prepared are we as a nation?Even common TB, some hospitals struggle so hard to admit patients because of limited facilities.Some health institutions do not even have enough admission facilities to accommodate patients, how much more DEADLY EBOLA VIRUS.Keeping infected persons isolated has been a major call on our health centers but are we ready to tackle this deadly virus? how about the number of people who use our borders daily?those who fly in from countries with major concern of Ebola.Is there any screening measure to check their status on Ebola?How about you,how informed are you?How safe are you? What measures are in place to prevent the disease from dominating our noble communities? Get these tips as guide on THE DEADLY EBOLA VIRUS.Watch out!!! EBOLA is knocking.

'The EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE', according to World Health Organisation(WHO)

Key facts; Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%. EVD outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are considered to be the natural host of the Ebola virus. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No licensed specific treatment or vaccine is available for use in people or animals. Ebola first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, in Nzara, Sudan, and in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter was in a village situated near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name. Genus Ebolavirus is 1 of 3 members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus), along with genus Marburgvirus and genus Cuevavirus. Genus Ebolavirus comprises 5 distinct species: Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV) Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) Reston ebolavirus (RESTV) Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV) Taï Forest ebolavirus (TAFV). BDBV, EBOV, and SUDV have been associated with large EVD outbreaks in Africa, whereas RESTV and TAFV have not. The RESTV species, found in Philippines and the People’s Republic of China, can infect humans, but no illness or death in humans from this species has been reported to date. Transmission; Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest. Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness. Health-care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with suspected or confirmed EVD. This has occurred through close contact with patients when infection control precautions are not strictly practiced. Among workers in contact with monkeys or pigs infected with Reston ebolavirus, several infections have been documented in people who were clinically asymptomatic. Thus, RESTV appears less capable of causing disease in humans than other Ebola species. However, the only available evidence available comes from healthy adult males. It would be premature to extrapolate the health effects of the virus to all population groups, such as immuno-compromised persons, persons with underlying medical conditions, pregnant women and children. More studies of RESTV are needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn about the pathogenicity and virulence of this virus in humans. Signs and symptoms; EVD is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. Laboratory findings include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes. People are infectious as long as their blood and secretions contain the virus. Ebola virus was isolated from semen 61 days after onset of illness in a man who was infected in a laboratory. The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days.

Diagnosis; Other diseases that should be ruled out before a diagnosis of EVD can be made include: malaria, typhoid fever, shigellosis, cholera, leptospirosis, plague, rickettsiosis, relapsing fever, meningitis, hepatitis and other viral haemorrhagic fevers. Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory through several types of tests: antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antigen detection tests serum neutralization test reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay electron microscopy virus isolation by cell culture. Samples from patients are an extreme biohazard risk; testing should be conducted under maximum biological containment conditions. Vaccine and treatment; No licensed vaccine for EVD is available. Several vaccines are being tested, but none are available for clinical use. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. Patients are frequently dehydrated and require oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes or intravenous fluids. No specific treatment is available. New drug therapies are being evaluated. Natural host of Ebola virus; In Africa, fruit bats, particularly species of the genera Hypsignathus monstrosus, Epomops franqueti and Myonycteris torquata, are considered possible natural hosts for Ebola virus. As a result, the geographic distribution of Ebolaviruses may overlap with the range of the fruit bats. Ebola virus in animals; Although non-human primates have been a source of infection for humans, they are not thought to be the reservoir but rather an accidental host like human beings. Since 1994, Ebola outbreaks from the EBOV and TAFV species have been observed in chimpanzees and gorillas. RESTV has caused severe EVD outbreaks in macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) farmed in Philippines and detected in monkeys imported into the USA in 1989, 1990 and 1996, and in monkeys imported to Italy from Philippines in 1992. Since 2008, RESTV viruses have been detected during several outbreaks of a deadly disease in pigs in People’s Republic of China and Philippines. Asymptomatic infection in pigs has been reported and experimental inoculations have shown that RESTV cannot cause disease in pigs. Prevention and control; Controlling Reston ebolavirus in domestic animals No animal vaccine against RESTV is available. Routine cleaning and disinfection of pig or monkey farms (with sodium hypochlorite or other detergents) should be effective in inactivating the virus. If an outbreak is suspected, the premises should be quarantined immediately. Culling of infected animals, with close supervision of burial or incineration of carcasses, may be necessary to reduce the risk of animal-to-human transmission. Restricting or banning the movement of animals from infected farms to other areas can reduce the spread of the disease. As RESTV outbreaks in pigs and monkeys have preceded human infections, the establishment of an active animal health surveillance system to detect new cases is essential in providing early warning for veterinary and human public health authorities. Reducing the risk of Ebola infection in people In the absence of effective treatment and a human vaccine, raising awareness of the risk factors for Ebola infection and the protective measures individuals can take is the only way to reduce human infection and death.

In Africa, during EVD outbreaks, educational public health messages for risk reduction should focus on several factors: Reducing the risk of wildlife-to-human transmission from contact with infected fruit bats or monkeys/apes and the consumption of their raw meat. Animals should be handled with gloves and other appropriate protective clothing. Animal products (blood and meat) should be thoroughly cooked before consumption. Reducing the risk of human-to-human transmission in the community arising from direct or close contact with infected patients, particularly with their bodily fluids. Close physical contact with Ebola patients should be avoided. Gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when taking care of ill patients at home. Regular hand washing is required after visiting patients in hospital, as well as after taking care of patients at home. Communities affected by Ebola should inform the population about the nature of the disease and about outbreak containment measures, including burial of the dead. People who have died from Ebola should be promptly and safely buried. Pig farms in Africa can play a role in the amplification of infection because of the presence of fruit bats on these farms. Appropriate biosecurity measures should be in place to limit transmission. For RESTV, educational public health messages should focus on reducing the risk of pig-to-human transmission as a result of unsafe animal husbandry and slaughtering practices, and unsafe consumption of fresh blood, raw milk or animal tissue. Gloves and other appropriate protective clothing should be worn when handling sick animals or their tissues and when slaughtering animals. In regions where RESTV has been reported in pigs, all animal products (blood, meat and milk) should be thoroughly cooked before eating. Controlling infection in health-care settings Human-to-human transmission of the Ebola virus is primarily associated with direct or indirect contact with blood and body fluids. Transmission to health-care workers has been reported when appropriate infection control measures have not been observed. It is not always possible to identify patients with EBV early because initial symptoms may be non-specific. For this reason, it is important that health-care workers apply standard precautions consistently with all patients – regardless of their diagnosis – in all work practices at all times. These include basic hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment (according to the risk of splashes or other contact with infected materials), safe injection practices and safe burial practices. Health-care workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus should apply, in addition to standard precautions, other infection control measures to avoid any exposure to the patient’s blood and body fluids and direct unprotected contact with the possibly contaminated environment. When in close contact (within 1 metre) of patients with EBV, health-care workers should wear face protection (a face shield or a medical mask and goggles), a clean, non-sterile long-sleeved gown, and gloves (sterile gloves for some procedures). Laboratory workers are also at risk. Samples taken from suspected human and animal Ebola cases for diagnosis should be handled by trained staff and processed in suitably equipped laboratories. WHO response; WHO provides expertise and documentation to support disease investigation and control. Recommendations for infection control while providing care to patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola haemorrhagic fever are provided in: Interim infection control recommendations for care of patients with suspected or confirmed Filovirus (Ebola, Marburg) haemorrhagic fever, March 2008. This document is currently being updated. WHO has created an aide–memoire on standard precautions in health care (currently being updated). Standard precautions are meant to reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne and other pathogens. If universally applied, the precautions would help prevent most transmission through exposure to blood and body fluids. Standard precautions are recommended in the care and treatment of all patients regardless of their perceived or confirmed infectious status. They include the basic level of infection control—hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment to avoid direct contact with blood and body fluids, prevention of needle stick and injuries from other sharp instruments, and a set of environmental controls. for more on Ebola,Visit http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/

Nsem Piiiiiii!!!;GHANA BLACK STARS

OOOOOOOOOoooooooh!!! Ghana!,this one dieeer we missed it,after all the internal political inconviniences,this time around it seems we have washed our dirty lining in public.A pal in Canada asked me'Hey buddy!don't you guys have banks in Ghana?' very interesting question to answer to answer.Where are we heading to kraahh! Do we even care at all about one another,ATTITUDE! ATTITUDE!ATTITUDE!!,we all seem to know the remedy to all these challenges yet the self will;THE ATTITUDE to transform is deficient. Who do we blame at all?The already Match fixing SAGA is on display,its pending for only God knows how long.Is it that the players demanded too much from the Association and Government as compared to what is being paid other nationals;or the Ministry of Sports is reaping some fruits of 'trustworthiness',Could it be the Coach? or the Management,all these questions are deepening in our minds,in our pursuit for the truth.The Ghana Football Association has failed us all,yes!! in my eyes that's what i see. Nsem piiii!!!!! Is it true that Unibank is the official bank for the Black Stars and the players were issued Master Cards for these transactions?so why didn't they pay our players through the means of banking?hmmmmmmm!Only God knows what went wrong,Can you imagine the cos90 job done by the executives of this bank?wasn't there any legal compromise?why all of a sudden some people want cash?Are the players divided?after all they are even charged 17% tax per head in Brazil,amounting to $17000 per head.Do we know how many hospital bills that can clear?how many students could be sponsored by that?OOOooh Ghana!!!Even the cost of the chartered Flight to transport the money can even be used to build a hospital or a market even a school?Asem paaaa nie3!!! This shame diiieeeer!!! First we lost to U.S.A,then we impressed the world by holding Germany boot for boot?Do we know the impressions we created on the minds of people who watched that game?Here we are now, we fell from Grace to Grass,Hero to Zero. We sacked two great players;Sulley and Kevin?What is the truth behind their dismissal?Were they really difficult to handle? The question i ask is why don't these players cause chaos in their respective clubs?Is the Management missing something?I get soo confused analysing all these..If there will be any investigation,i suggest the whole team and management be dissolved and reconstituted and possibly the enquiry made public for the sake of transparency. We got it all wrong this time round.Would they even want to step down at all..?hmmmmm!!!!I wish i could criticize the entire body yet there is always two sides to story.Until we hear all parties talk without any contradiction then we can judge...We those on fence are watching...What went wrong? Why all these embarrassment?Nsem piiiiiii!

My PROPOSITION on Development;#my opinion.

Hello family!,i sincerely appreciate the concerns you have raised in relation to this blog,especially to the grammatical and typographical errors.I really do appreciate them.keep them coming.Thank you for taking time to read every piece of mine.God bless you all.i will do my best to meet your requests to serve a common purpose. To the substantive issue for today,can Ghana redefine the meaning of development in respect to our communities? Many people say 'Ghanafour' KASA papaa,yet they do less.From where i sit,i seem to agree perfectly with them with a certain degree of freedom.Indeed Boys Abre3,Abaa!!for the women dem dey talk Pass.....Listening to the various radio stations every morning,i can conclude that every single individual of this noble state sees the prospect of this country developing beyond the level we are today.As a developing country,we seem to have projected a very promising state,a sharp contrast to the ideal reflection on the ground.Now am sounding like a politician,but hey! lets take a little detour.Apart from holding government officials responsible for embezzlement and other retrogressive attitudes,can't we as communities change the whole dynamics of development?Development that will minimize crime to mile zero,free of flood,increase the number of hospitals,yield quality education,proper sanitation,good drinking water to every household and employment to every Tom,Dick and Harry?After all every community has virtually all the professionals.We are always admiring the beautiful estates around us but we forget that we can form our high class courts with excellent layouts. Its all start with changing our attitude to becoming game changers.Imagine if every community decides to hold their own neighbors for building on water ways,reporting criminals to the police,deciding to lobby our own funds to construct our roads,build schools,hospitals,law courts,providing good water to every house hold and the revenue generated is used to institute other relevant project of equal interest,just imagine all this.Just thinking aloud,if every community decides to put their heads together to establish the basic things that will create convinience for everyone,imagine this competition among communities,how will tomorrow be like if our fathers start this attitude today?Am considering a fighting society that decides not to fully rely on Government but decides to do their best in meeting their own goals,eliminating incompetent leaders via the ballot box,exhibiting the true spirit of accountability and promoting the positive sense of development.Just imagine how competitive this will be among communities if we decide to sacrifice a little of our hard earn monies to develop our own fore courts and as well fight for a little support from government.Imagine a community with its own power and water generating system...ooops development,traffic free,noise free etc..For me development starts with the attitude to of change for positive growth for generation yet unborn.#its possible if we make the steps. beauty sells dear....so sweet but it depends on you and i to decide on what levels of beauty we desire. Want to acknowledge the sun news paper,architect&engineering link and Brixton-energy for these lovely pictures.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step,by Lao Tsu.#ITSPOSSIBLE.

My Pain .....my family.....my hope

I don't feel pain when i get hurt ,poor or anything soo bad,they may hurt but it seems other things hurt me more.It is paramount when i hear mother ready to sell her baby just for survival,when i see a man walking with a leg infected with elephantiasis,yet feels soo comfortable,when a man with a swollen jaw with a diameter of about 10cm sits by Novotel every morning to beg for money,When school going kids sell water by the road side,when a yoghurt seller chases a van just to sell one yoghurt.When a 13 year old is described as a hardened criminal and 15 year old a queen in prostitution.We are family 'abi' yes we are so why should we watch a neighbor go astray? It hurt soo much when you see these people go through all these and wish there was a way.But i ask myself what can i do to assist,how can i help my colleagues?is it just about money,is there anything i can offer? Its so much pain to hear of drowning of people on the volta lake virtually every week yet we rarely hear of any effort to provide these communities with a modern ferry or mini ship that help transport them to places of convinience. These same people try so hard to feed by transporting food from these places to the cities yet die as a result of travelling challenges,what a pitty!.What other means could they have used?yet we are quick to sponsor great events such as beauty pageants,music shows,etc.. how many of these villages have good classroom blocks,clinics,libraries,good drinking water and all the other good things we yearn for in the city?Is it because am not in their shoes?but thinking of it again i feel the fortunate are just a little selfish.sorry to say so but thats just my opinion.How i wish farmers will also be selfish for a short while and there will be no importation of crops. How can we help in bridging this gap.How can we as individuals or societies bring about a change in a particular challenged community?Are we ready to help? 1.Lets agree that there are problems. 2.Let take a single problem of utmost priority. 3.Lets raise funds. 4.Lets make a change to that community 5.Let it be sustainable. 6.Let see them smile 7.Let give hope to them as a family. It always begin somewhere.Imagine every church,mosque,school,community,company and individuals decides to assist in solving a problem of health,education,housing,water etc.....imagine if i start,guess how it will be if we all lend a helping hand,how much more if its a team work?#wearegamechangers.....so i start....you start...we start.... We can all cant get to the top,but we can help one another in one way or the other to get there one day with a difference...

My Confusion;Life.s journey...........

'Pain is temporarily,it may last for a minute,an hour ,a day or even a year,but eventually it will subside'these words of Eric Thomas sometimes lift me up when i feel like giving up.At times i feel what i go through defines pain,but seeing the innocent kids running on the street barefooted in happiness push me further for they no not what the future holds for them.Afterall what is my destiny,it got to a point where i accepted that i am an unlucky failure.i feel like i have gone through a lot all because i wanted to get to the top,no need for second place,no way! yet ....what i always fight rather embraces me hapilly. am i editing my script well,i am the hero,the director,the manger,the producer,the villain,how good is my script?am i a free minded person?do i harbour a lot than i want to achieve?am i blaming to many people?do i focus too much on what people say about me?am i living the dream i want io live or living the life of others?am i forgetting that no two people are alike?Everyone sees me to be that strong and bold guy but in my room you will find me in tears everyday.Where am i actually heading to? i always ask myself.Sometimes i just watch these movies;PERSUIT OF HAPINESS,ULTIMATE GIFT,CINDERELLA MAN,SOUL SURFER,CONVICTION,THE GREAT DEBATORS,THE BLIND SIDE,BEN CARSON'S STORY,GIFTED HANDS,ARGO,MEN OF HONOUR and whole lot more.watching these movies have virtually become my comforter.At times i feel like giving up on life afterall we are born to die! yes! but within me i feel i owe the poor and my society and great deal of victory,its as though the world has beaten me permanently to my knee ,i have taken so much blows but am still moving forward,with all these pains,i fear if i quit i will be termed a coward and so i keep fighting.Remember Mohammed Ali?he claimed he was the best even before he became the best. I fear,i feel pain,i get sad yet i do not want to quit.i am always failing,almost every time,yet i want to finish the race i started.Me alone;a student,a worker,a brother and uncle .......a mentor.Its amazing how many great people share life puzzling stories on how they suceeded,overcome every turbulation to get to that destination,a venue that defines victory over pain.

How close am i?when will i ever get there?when will i ever say i am worth living with confidence?what am i doing wrong?am i leaving God out of the game?am i not working hard enough? Those of you who are making a difference,just keep going far cos you give me hope.i believe that one day ,just one day ,i will redefine myself as a brand of hope for others.I see life to be a game but life is war.its either you win or you loose.you decide.Many great men failed a 1000 times yet just one day they suceeded. yes! they did.I put in my very best,yes i do,i sacrifice every little thing,but.....what i am doing wrong#i wanna be a #gamechanhger.i am here for a purpose,even if it was wedlock,it happened cos it needed to.I want to go far so as to liberate others with greater challenge.May be am not sacrificing enough,may be am not valuing every second,maybe am taking my eye off the lens,just may be.That reminds me of olympics 1992,Barcelona,Derek Redmond was favoured to medal in a 400 meter sprint.This guy had severe pain 150 meteres into the race,he leaped in pain with a support from the dad who beat security to help his son,his father wanted him off the track but he insisted and limped in pain to finish what he started,so determined he finished the race and had a standing ovation from over 65000 people and was awarded a medal for his determination.Even in soo much pain he never gave up.I will get there just because you believe in me,i choose to win.

MY MOMENT of LIFE

WHAT CAN I DO? God save us from sin.Each and every time i travel i shed tears.why Oh! Lord!? i ask my self.After all God can't answer me to my hearing,maybe spiritually i guess or through a human angel someday.Why do i keep seeing these young boys and girls hawking everywhere.As young as age seven(7),this little girl is selling bread by the street.Look at that!! she is even chasing after our bus just to sell something to the passengers. Sometime ago i did the same,very similar to the plight of this little girl.I just don't know why i feel so bad for her.May be with mine at least i do it after school or after i have been sacked for school fees after i some few strokes as a reminder to my parents.So funny,students receive strokes for their parents.But this time i wished someone will just just take this kid and take care of her,just take her to school in a motivating ambience so she can also compete with her colleagues in the big towns and cities. Poverty indeed is a disease.

But,wait a minute,where are her parents after all?She says her mum is not fine and daddy passed before she was born, so she need to raise some money for her drugs.Aaaa! aren't you guys on the National Health Insurance Scheme?She doesn't seem to know. Eeeeih!!! i love her smile.She seem bright and ready to learn but......Don't worry dear someday all will be well.'For my story i will tell you one day okay?just take care of mum and study hard so you can take care of mummy in the future,i said to her'.As our bus leave we wave at each other.Oouch!!! she saw the tear in my eyes,sorry pretty,just remembering what i went through and even now,can't say.I love you girl,you are my inspiration as i said to myself. But hey! i bought some of the bread so she can go support mummy and i as well gave her something little for ice cream,hope i didn't pamper her.how could i have helped at all? huh!!!! poor child. Someday my story will change your game.#itspossible#bagamechanger.
