SAME SEX MARRIAGE IN GHANA

Why wont the prime minister of civilised Britain ask us (Ghana and Africa as a whole) to pass the same sex marriage law.
Britain may lead us financially, intellectually, resourcefully, operationally, call it any name. They may lead us in many ways but not in morals and ethics.
Britain may have morals and ethics but I am talking about the proper type.

But a nation without proper morals and ethics, its citizens go awry.
The very first day I heard the statement I secretly cried in my room which I guess no body knew. The tears of the man in the rain is only know to the man in the rain.

I know why I cried. The statement alone shows that Britain and not only that but most westerners have no respect for Africa.
I cried and wished I were the leader of A.U.

For long we had kowtow to the many pittance of these westerners and what then do we expect to hear from them?

Let all African nations first of all bow down their heads in shame before any comment

And let us all learn to drive our own wheel even if we cannot reinvent it

WHAT HAS POLITICS BECOME OF US?

Most often the wise people in the society think politics is not for them, and it is against this backdrop that I write this article.
If the wise think that politics is not for them then they risk being governed by the fools in the society.

Indeed, politics has taken over every root in our society, and today everything is all about politics. What we have failed to know is that the mere common people who we voted for into power tend to govern us far to the extend of paying no human respect for the same people who voted them into power.

Where are the patriotic intelligentsia of the land of Ghana?
I strongly believe that people of our likes need to stand up and kick against most of the gruesome acts of politics if we really want to redefine politics to solve our problems.

I propose a people cabinet for the constitution review committee of Ghana. How? There should be some reserved seats in parliament for independents bodies--people who are not affiliated to any political party or whatsoever in the society.
Today's societies, presidents have the gut to interfere with the law processes in our countries.How dare the president mingle law with politics.

Sometimes I just blame ourselves but most especially I blame myself for my inability to organise a group of young gallants on my own to invade the parliament and other reputable institutions of the land with our petitions.

Today, if one is not in politics or if one is not part of any political chamber s(he) should consider him/herself out of any better necessaries in the society.Which it should not be so
What really has politics become of us?

I call on anyone reading this very article to help educate the masses of whom they are deprived most of the basic necessaries like light, water, shelter and roads, any s(he) finds the self.Yet we are always quick to refer to democracy. This really does not make any economic sense in this very 21st century.

To Nelson Mandela we cannot talk of democracy when there is no real equality.
The reason being that, to me, most of these rural dwellers are totally oblivious of the fact that it their fundamental human rights to enjoy every necessaries being enjoyed by other people in the society, be it urban or the so called elites.
How could people in the urban sites enjoy most basic necessaries while the rural folks are deprived of these same necessaries. When in the actual sense they all pay the same indirect taxes in the country.

I strongly use this link to call on the judicial council to strongly and vividly put their feet on the ground and to properly scrutinize our 1992 constitutions as it is in its review process.
Because to me, it is totally absurdity for any person in the society to hold more than one position. How then do we expect the person to fully concentrate on the task tasked him. No man should be a member of parliament and at the same time a minister.

Judges I think should be in processes for life,that is should be in the government chambers to ensuring justice for life, and the president has no right to pardon political prisoners. This is totally inimical to the principles of the judiciary in any country and not only Ghana if we do not know.

What the judiciary invariably fail to realize is that for every time the government of the day interferes in their rulings, it put their intelligence also to questioning.

Having said this I strong demand that the powers of the president to appoint the key figures in the law jurisdiction be stripped off from him.
The president is just a common man just like me and you and should not be allowed to temper with the laws of the land.

What has politics become of us?
Let us all together stand up and educate in our own small ways to decrease the power and influence of politics in our society cos there are better and proper ways to govern any nation. There is the principle of customs, the church, elders, NGO's, private individuals, apolitical peoples etc.

Let's remember that politics is the main cause of our problems.

Lest one day we all wake up the sounds of nihilism in our society cos the people must have been fed up with the absurdities of our politicians and their fake magnanimity.

Today, we don't event talk about right and wrong in the nation.
Same sex marriage is given a cloth to shed her cold.

Let the patriotic intelligentsia of the nation stand up. Please let us stand up cos politicians are nobody.

Thank you very kindly for reading this scribbled article.
