THE GIFT OF FAMILY.

The gregarious nature of man does not allow him to live in solitude. Trust me no one wants to be alone, not forever.The content and understanding of family varies across cultures. What, comprises of family in your opinion? It could be your biological parents and siblings, spouse, friends, pets, neighbours, work colleagues, classmates, church member/pastor, or a good Samaritan. However you define family, you may find it in one or more of the genres mentioned.
Our survival on this earth is somewhat determined by the presence of a representation of these groups. Family is a gift from God. They are with through through your entire life; through the fights and quarrels, pain and heartbreaks,  misunderstandings and conflicts, peaceful times, joyous moments and celebrations. This is God's promise to us, his children, that he will be with us to the end. And he keeps his promise with the gift of family.
When you find yourself on another part of the globe you immediately want to call your mother, friend, a loved one or even your pet dog (lol) so you can hear a familiar voice or share your experience. How would life be if you were left on your own to survive after birth. With the best health care and most nutritious meals no baby will survive without some tender love and care from another human.

It is impossible not to have a family. No matter what you are not alone in the world;someone loves you, God loves.

THE POLITICS OF AFRICAN HAIR: Why is African Hair Unpopular?

I finally shared the full story behind my hair on my Tv show Inside Pages on Metro Tv. Today I’m going to give MY TAKE on the Achimota school-Rastafarianism-dreadlocks saga and it will be about MY HAIR EXPERIENCE- as you know and can see I have kept my hair in its natural state for years and there’s a story behind it. First, I’ll talk about My Big Chop and then 2 major experiences after the chop. • The big chop In my second year at the University of Ghana, in 2008 I made a practical decision. I stopped applying perming cream to my hair to straighten and remove the texture. I did this to allow for new growth in anticipation of a big chop. This was contradictory to the wild joy I embraced soon after completing SSS, now SHS. Perming my hair was the long-awaited moment of freedom from the many years of compulsory cutting of hair per the rules of mainstream education. But few years down the line, it was no longer freedom and joy because of the cuts and burns from the perming cream. My hair ...

Let’s gives our children the right start! Let’s Be Fair Ghana!

Elizabeth lifts her hand swiftly as soon as her teacher asks for a volunteer to read out a passage to the class. Her teacher calls on her and she marches boldly to the board, reads loudly and clearly and is rewarded with a round of applause. I was proud of her. I got to meet Elizabeth when I had the opportunity to visit Sandema in the Upper East Region during a field visit with UNICEF. Elizabeth is a primary 3 pupils of Alama Basic School. Elizabeth and her classmates impressed me. It was very evident that they understood the passage and each of them took turns going to the board. This scene alone made it all worth it. It may be hard to believe, but 7 children in primary 3 out of every 10 in Ghana are unable to read and write even though they should be able to. This begs the question, are we being fair to our children? If this number of children at that age cannot read or write how do we prepare them to learn others skills?    continued to wat...
