Article Written by: Asante Krobea Elvis I found out in my research that society rarely talks about masturbation because of its associated stigma. About 75% of the world’s population watch pornography and/or masturbate; Pornographic sites are the most visited sites on the internet. What most people do not know is that managers of the internet have crawlers that monitor viewers of a particular website. Another baffling fact that got me discouraged to put a stop to this work was the fact that, masturbation has been supported by many medical experts and some renowned pastors. I proceeded to write this for a simple reason, that, my Bible speaks against it. Due to the fact that many people are engaging in this act but refuse to talk about it openly, I considered terming it the “ *dirty secret*” act. I found out that there are so many ways people engage in this dirty secret act. This article seeks to talk about its negative effects and surest ways of curbing it. Before we taste ...

Governments come and go yet one thing they all share in common is the fact that either of these governments have had so much problems to solve, including even those that were not mentioned in their policies. When an individual is appointed a leader, being of a country, organization, home or school, such a person assumes a sacrificial responsibility; and for all I know, sacrifice is all about getting the task done no matter what it takes and not just talking. Even today, every child, young or old, knows for a fact that as a country we are confronted with loads of challenges and none of them seems to ending yet as most of such problems are not to be blamed on either of the previous governments but rather since the foundation of this country was laid. Now, even though we the ordinary citizens know what we face as a country, some politicians out of their own selfish interest I would say, refuse to tell us the truth and so we are always stacked in development. Just imagine how a country w...

I’m still here, waking up, while I dream every morning There was something called love, and we both shared it; it was beautiful I still dream of the euphoric moment, when in our salad days we were ignorant of decisions Until when We needed food for our stomachs and you very well couldn’t secure a three square meal for yourself Yes! I could have waited But we both know that time favored you more, that it did with me So, When the potbellied middle aged man Asked me to marry him I knew Automatically That not in a million years Would I have said Yes But it came to the point When I had to brood And decide I never said that love didn’t matter It really did That is why it hurt me then, that is why it hurts, even now Because With no trace of alacrity I agreed I decided to marry him He would give me the life that money could buy As for love If I loved him? No! So I suberized my heart Deceived myself Th...

“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 ...
