“Had I known is the language of the fool”. You are now accountable to yourself with regards to how you earn and spend money. Below are some selected guidelines that will help you to spend your first lump sum salary wisely. 1. DRAW A BUDGET: The cliché goes like ” If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. Life can be well lived only when it is planned well. What do you intend to use your salary for? Take a few moments and write them down. It is called ‘budget’. Budget writing has two most important components, i.e. INCOME and EXPENDITURE. INCOME is best described as the inflows: where and how will you get your money? Don’t settle for your salary as the one and only source of your income. On the other hand, EXPENDITURE is also best described as an amount of money that is spent on something. The things you spend your money on can further be grouped into NEEDS and WANTS. Your needs are the things you can’t live without while the things you can live without are your wants. For ins...

From sidelines, I have watched and listened to people express their concerns about the introduction of free senior high school education in Ghana as to whether it can or cannot be possible. Form sideline I mean in commercial vehicles (trotro, taxi, etc.), within the society, among peers and even on social media platforms. From this view one can easily tell how important this issue is to the Ghanaian citizens particularly the young ones. With all these flooding of views all over the country, one thing that I have always told myself is this free senior high school education is a must opportunity for every Ghanaian child growing up. At this point I will like to borrow the exact words that were read from the speech of our current president during his inaugural ceremony, H.E Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo –Addo and it said, “be citizens and not just spectators”. I believe that this statement was made that each and every Ghanaian like myself can have a say in how the country is run even if we ...

Ebenezer! Indeed this is how far the Lord has brought us as a country that was once in captiv ity and suffering(slavery). Well I may not have existed by then but for all that I’ve lived to know this far, I wouldn’t doubt how great and graceful the Lord has been to us. Just as Canadian hip-hop songwriter and rapper Drake would say, “started from the bottom and now we’re here”. Indeed we did start from the bottom but as far as we’ve come what are the key achievements we as country can boast of when compared to other countries that were once like us? Well, yes talk of democracy and the whole world would applaud Ghanaians for that but what exactly has our democratic style of living gained us in terms of Education, Technology, Agriculture, Health, Industrialization and other nation building sectors? If a forum is to be granted to all Ghanaians to express how they see our journey through this past 6o years, I can assure you that majority will provide similar answers and that is, “It has ...

Article By: Felix Ntehene Unhurriedly, the world is becoming an arena of deception where people no longer yearn for truth, but are swimmingly wobbled in lies and deception. The fact is that truth hurts, but the world hates truth seekers and celebrates liars and prevaricators. Sometimes I read through people's profiles on social media and laugh my lungs out. A kenkey seller at Ashiaman would write her profile as someone from Florida, living in London and studying Law at Harvard University. She would use a sexy picture of any world celebrity for her profile, and by the next two hours, she would receive over thousand friend requests, likes and comments and that is simply because she has given out what the world wants: deception and lies. Why do you think we are being bombarded with false prophesies and artificially calculated miracles in our churches and on TV screens? It's because that is what we want to hear. We don’t want to hear the truth in the Bible; we ...
