TRUE LIFE STORY -LIFE IS WALKING

I got married at 25, finished my PhD at 27 and became a Professor at 40.

So fast you see! Yes, everything around me worked fast. It is now that I realise that it was a misplaced priority.

My ambition blindfolded me and I got it all wrong, that is why I am sharing my experience through this medium to warn and encourage our young mothers not to be careless as I was back then.

I worked very hard as a lecturer and as an administrator, always so busy that it became my language to my children...."I'm busy"

My mum was around to nurse the children for me for some time. The moment they clocked ten, I sent them to boarding schools, though my husband was not in support of this. I always found my way.

I had no warm relationship with my children, 2 boys and a girl.

I never knew it was a bad idea not to have time for my husband, children and the household, until 5 years ago, when guilt, loneliness and restlessness filled my heart.

I sent for my children to rejoice with me on my 60th birthday.

The two boys, living in Canada said they are "busy" and that their sister will come down from South Africa.

Two days to my birthday, my daughter sent this message to me, "Mum, I am very sorry not to be around over there, there is no time to squeeze out, my husband needs my attention at his newly established clinic and presently, I'm pregnant. "I'm very very busy,
I'm also lonely in a strange land. Please pray for us mum. Happy birthday". I could not recover from the meaning I got from the message.. "First-things-First". When they needed me for warmth and discussion, I was not available, now I needed them for warmth and discussion I could not get them, rather they returned my slogan back to me, "I'm busy"

To worsen the matter, my dear husband died in his sleep a month after. ...Only one of the children came without his family to the burial ceremony.

I was dumbfounded!!! Considered Opinion: it is good to work and be a hard working fellow.
But hear this important and salient truth:

Parenting is sacrificial work, give it all it takes. Avoid any work that will take away your attention too much from your home - Avoid it and be careful!

SOLIDIFY YOUR HOME FIRST, CREATE TIME FOR YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN.

ESTABLISH THE FEAR OF GOD IN THEIR HEARTS THROUGH YOUR ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR.

THOUGH IT IS COSTLY NOW, THE FUTURE REWARD IS WORTH IT.

THIS IS AN EYE OPENER FOR BOTH MEN & WOMEN.

LET'S BE SELFLESSLY AVAILABLE WHEN OUR CHILDREN NEED US.

Life is about service to one another. Soon we leave the stage and all that is left is memories.

Don't Photocopy Ghana Card for Bank Transactions, says BOG

The Bank of Ghana (BOG) has issued a firm directive against photocopying Ghana Cards for banking transactions.

It insisted that biometric verification must be the standard for identity authentication.

This position was reinforced during a stakeholder engagement held at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra, organized by Identity Management Systems II (IMS II) Limited in collaboration with the National Identification Authority (NIA).

The event, themed ‘Protect every transaction with biometric verification’, brought together the Bank of Ghana, Ghana Association of Banks, National Identification Authority and representatives from the 25 universal banks in Ghana to discuss the critical role of identity verification in securing financial transactions.

Executive Director-IMS II Ltd., James Cantamantu-Koomson, highlighted the fundamental shift in identity management, “The way we do things is changing. Identity is at the center and the engine of our financial system.

The database that the National Identification Authority has gathered is one of the most powerful assets we have as a country.”

His remarks underscored the need to transition from traditional manual processes to a multi-modal biometric verification approach that eliminates security vulnerabilities.

The Bank of Ghana clarified that photocopying Ghana Cards for customer verification is not acceptable.

THEY CANT PAY ME TO FEATURE IN THEIR SKIT

 

They can't pay me to be in their skits and movies. - "Kwadwo Nkansah LilWin.

The issues always circulating around Myself, Kwaku Manu and Dr.Likee that we're not cool is never true. It's because they can't afford me to feature in their projects but if there's someone who's rich and would like to feature us all in a movie why not, I'm ready to work with them.

I also have the kind of cast I always want to use in my movies and when it's time to use any of Kwaku Manu or Dr. Likee I will of course do that. I'm expensive that's why I only feature in my own projects. - LilWin

LETTER TO MP FOR KETA

Francis Delali Sosu writes ✍🏼 

Dear Hon. Kwame Dzudzorli Gakpey, Member of Parliament for Keta constituency,

The people of keta urge you to address the pressing issue of tidal waves (sea erosion) affecting Keta. Your silence is tantamount to Keta having no representation in parliament. We implore you to do more than just contributing to your party's numerical strength in parliament. Your constituents need attention to alleviate the seasonal erosional crises they face.

The periodic distribution of relief items and visits to affected victims are futile and wasteful if your sole intention is to take photos and engage in social media publicity. We believe you can do better for the people of Keta. This time, we hope you won't resort to the excuse that "your party is not in government." Fortunately, you have the support of four ministers from the region who can back you if you raise this issue on the parliament floor.

The people of Keta elected you not merely to have a representative in parliament, but to voice their concerns and lobby for resources to address them. We kindly request that you speak on this issue; otherwise, we will be compelled to speak on your behalf.

Akpe!
