The Ghanaian Slang "Its Normal"
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Here, because we have no respect for human lives, scenes like these are "normal" very normal, many, oh' its not their problem, well, this is how it'll always be, lest, are they aware of how scenes like these takes us back, This is an elitest system, the system doesnt include all these people, development here to me means a few rich with luxury cars and the building of houses and churches without developing the human resource.

Driving from my project site today at Christmas day 25/12/09, this is another sad sight i see, slowly taking picture behind them, my car in that spot. sure they are coming from the bush, no shoes, tattered clothes with a machete and strange that there's no activities for them on such a special day, i have some plans for this community. I hope you think about them too on such a special day. Our so called future leaders and up coming farmers, i wonder if our leaders really know what they are doing. Crimes against Humanity.

Children playing outside their home, their play ground, "my everyday Haiti".

A working taxi in the Northern Region " death on roads, to the police and the authorities in charge "its normal even if it endangers precious human lives". hmm, dont know when the laws of the land will be enforced.

These guys, on a major highway, this is where they enjoy sitting, driver is fine with it, sure police is also watching, anything at all can happen, Ignorance.

The broken windshield of the same working taxi up north, which can easily break into pieces, anyways, it has fire extinguisher. Well, i also see some street lights there, something positive.

Fixning my car, this young girl shows up by name Ayesha, i ask her few questions and am sad straight, selling oranges, am torn between buying and not buying, i am thinking she should be reading, visiting some library, playing with friends, painting or visiting some play ground, (playground, i shouldn't even be thinking about that, Africa is the only continent where leaders are so wicked that they hate kids because there's no playing grounds or parks for them) but no here she is, if i dont buy, she gets nothing to go home, if i buy she gets something to go home and i feel like am encouraging her to stay on the streets selling or telling her indirectly that what is on her head is okay. I can only take her details and ask her to be on my foundation so i see how i can help, its pathetic.

The dangers facing the young welder in Ghana today, am at the workshop, fixing my car, decide to take some shots, this guy is welding a running board of some car, he has no helmet, no gloves, no protective eyeglass , i asked him about his protective outfit and he tells me, if he wears the protective eyeglass, he doesn't see good and it's "normal" as he's been doing this for sometime now and he sees no danger, i don't think he knows the harm these chemicals are causing to his entire body, there's absolute no education, you even try to tell them whats right and they insult you, who do you think you are? We been doing this for a long time, leave us alone, nothing will happen to us. This is what you get when you try telling your own people the truth and to the leaders, this is what you get and see if you refuse to educate your people, this is what some foreigners here wants to praise as development and saying some members of parliament doing well. Lack of wisdom my people perish, at least i know one country for sure, where if this happened or this picture was brought to the spotlight or seen, the minister of industry, trade skills or social work will resign, but in Africa no minister resigns, its a taboo.

A dog has been hit by a car dead and lying down the road side, its "normal", will lie there till it rots, dangers it poses to health, no one cares, maybe some mentally ill person will find it and it will meat will serve as a delicacy for the day or week. Well, i have witness human beings such as the dog lying down there as you can see in my previous blogs. If we have no respect for human beings how much more animals. The abuse, ignorance, poverty and violence continue to thrive in our day to day activities unseen but seen and ignored just because everybody thinks its some one else problem, maybe till it manifests into a different level before people will sit up.
He is saying i want to die, ignorance kills more Africans than any of the major diseases in this world.

The everyday hustle of some young children on the streets of Accra
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Sights like these are reasons why my foundation exist trying to fix situation and help, and these pictures don't come easily, they come at a price, many a time i have to smile at them and ask them politely to take pictures of them, i wonder if i don't ask and they see me taking shots of them, the kinda feeling, the foreigners who live here or visit, i hope you see and talk about all these social injustices and just not drive pass ignoring them and trying to associate yourselves with the so called elite and so called MP's, (More Poverty - yes of course members of parliament brings in more poverty, they hardly do anything not even visiting their constituencies after winning elections).

The day these little boys will rise and stand up for their rights asking why they are being kept so poor in this manner, i hope the masses don't go to International Court of Justice and talk about child soldiers, it will be too late, their anger and desperation wont let them feel for anyone not even a stranger. But nature always is like human beings hardly learn from their mistakes.

These are sights when you hear sub Saharan African leaders on international stage receiving awards, all are joke !!!

Description of Pictures

Two young boys on the streets of the capital, in the scorching/blazing sun cleaning windshields to have their daily bread because they cant afford school.

This young boy as little as he is and facing this huge truck while his friend in yellow T shirt ask a taxi driver if its okay for him to clean windshield for some little money.
Even the car tyre can run on his feet, some of the dangers, but the minister of state who's stealing tax payers monies is educating his her kids in the West and they will always come back to rule these very same people on the streets.

The pollution and dangers to their health is unbelievable trying to make a living.
The so called big men drive in their luxury cars and think its normal for all these young boys to sell on the streets.

The white bucket with some sewer water and their foamy brushes will clean windshields and make them some money to take them home for their daily bread.
This boy here carries these yams (food) all day like this all day trying to sell to make a living.

Ghanaians, am writing all these to sensitize you about the realities on the ground which many of you see everyday and ignore, but ask yourself what can you do, all we hear everyday is conference on reduction of poverty levels, seminars to eradicate poverty, the year 4000 aspirations for all inclusive in society and so on, nothing is achieved at the end of all these conferences, seminars and workshops, they only go sit eat, drink and give empty words, Ghanaians its a high time we make our words our bonds, we all have a role to play in this, how long can we keep some of the people so poor.

Watch these things, In Ghana, seen as normal, when lives are at stake.
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

No one talks about these things, i will.

This KIA truck with registration number AS 7926P is loaded with charcoal, a product, which many poor Ghanaians use as firewood in cooking, as we can all see overload or over weight, surely this truck has passed its maximum weight, the truck itself is struggling to move, but the law enforcement agencies will look on or allow it on the highways to its destination endangering the lives of the citizens of the country, other motorists, vehicles and the very own lives of the drivers and colleagues.

Will love to hear what the animal rights activist will have to say about these goats and sheep's being transported and treated this way, they are finally going to be slaughtered for food but even before that they will travel through this harsh treatment of a two to three hour drive long journey from Kumasi to Accra, both major cities in Ghana, this Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 ,with registration number GW 9751V definitely belongs to someone educated somewhere in the West or with a respectable background, at least, in Ghana this is a "rich man's car" but the common sense which i have come to find out in Ghana it's not so common lacks here.

What amazes me is that, both cars will pass through several police check points and the police will allow them to move on, imagine if the charcoal should come off the truck or the truck turns over, what happens ?
What about if one of the animals escaped from the roof of this Land Cruiser, hit on the streets dies and burst into pieces.

The extent of ignorance here amazes me, Ghanaians, we should be able to empower our law enforcement agencies especially the police patrols and check points, equipping them with better conditions of services and good salaries so they will be able to fight such menace on our roads, if they are well paid and better taken care off then they will be motivated to stop and arrest such situations and not be tempted by bribes and these petty tips.

Wake up Ghanaians, i urge you to open your eyes, speak and criticize such ugly acts on our roads, which puts all of our lives and the very society in which we live in at risk.

UPDATE ON GHANA
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Obama visited Ghana on his first trip to Africa since elected the President of United States of America.
Many questions were been raised about why he did not visit his home country Kenya and big brother Nigeria, snubbing them to come to Ghana.
Ghana must be commended for the peaceful transition and good practice of democracy which has contributed to its long-term stability. Obama was graciously welcomed with all the joy and happiness that was demonstrated with the election of the first black US President.

What amazes me is how Ghanaians were cleaning the roads and the places President Obama visited or even where his entourage would be passing.

President Obama also visited the 17th trans Atlantic slave castles where slavery took place. The name of the town where the castles are located is called Cape Coast. I have visited Cape Coast as it’s the hometown of my parents and where my culture originates. Cape Coast hasn’t been kept clean at all. Cape Coast should have served as one of our biggest tourist attractions, but it’s been very dirty every time I have visited. I haven’t been impressed at all with the slave castles located there.
Ghanaians - to be clean isn’t hard work. I don’t understand why we should have waited for President Obama to announce his visit before we started painting and cleaning the very towns we live in.

Over the weeks, I was amazed at all cleaning exercises that were embarked upon by the people of Cape Coast - just because President Obama is visiting. Do we have to wait on the announcement of a visit from a President of another country to clean our very own environment ?
What have we become? Have we lost our priorities as Ghanaians?
Are we as a country trying to tell President Obama only he needs to be in
in a clean environment and not us? Yes, we were cleaning the towns where he was visiting because he is coming ,not because these are our very own environments where we live. Very interesting and funny how we can clean and do this: if we can do that why don’t we clean regularly and thus make us healthy Ghanaians?

I hope Ghanaians all see why the foreigner always disrespects us. We do such things and don’t even realize it. That the cleanliness of other countries makes many Ghanaians want to seek greener pastures and leave our country is very sad. The Western world has worked very hard to keep their laws on cleanliness working, with immense education on the environment. It is why today their cleanness has made many Ghanaians strive to pay so much money for visas to leave these beautiful shores. We need intense education on the environment and cleanness to make every Ghanaian cherish their county.
To me, I saw President Obama’s visit as just one of those things and nothing was going to change in US- Ghana relations. We need to take on our very own leaders, hold them accountable for the corruption and ripping off of our dear country and make sure each and every Ghanaian gets access to basic and fundamental rights.

Disability the Ghanaian way
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

The AMA stands for Accra Metropolitan Assembly the sole authority in charge of sanity, law and order in the Ghanaian capital Accra, as we clearly see the warning sign KEEP OFF BY AMA and a fine of GHC 10 put there in this busy Kwame Nkrumah Circle/roundabout, this young ice cream seller defying this order, right behind him, but no one can blame him, either he cant read the warning sign or an economic migrant to the capital from the countryside to make some little money to send home to his family.

He wheels this small ice cream cart all day for as little money he gets and he stops at such a place without thinking of the consequences and dangers a place like this as close to the road is to his very life. His very life is at risk with the millions of cars that uses this road daily, if any of these cars should skid of the road or if an accident should happen, the cars will come crushing into him, like always, the ignorance is the order of the day.

The other guys we see, are disabled persons who have manufactured their own small cartwheels with two little borace wheels and a small wooden board using it as a form of transportation on our already dangerous roads, they run very fast that sometimes cars can hardly even identify them on the roads.

The other guy with a wooden crutch decided on his own to direct/control the heavy traffic when the traffic lights weren't working or traffic lights are off as mostly seen on the streets of the capital, Accra. As he directs the heavy traffic on his one feet, same time he begs for alms.

The government with its so many international donor agencies with all sort of aid coming in and taxes from the ordinary Ghanaian citizen cant even provide disability social centers where many of these young men can go during the day to benefit/acquire some technical skills to give them some profession in the future, all i see everyday is seminars, conferences, workshops and committees set up for people to go and drink tea, nothing happens, i keep asking myself, where does all the money goes? Luxurious cars and houses, Ghanaians are you retrogressing or progressing ?

Ghanaians and their real hobbies

On the African continent, the English words spoken are not to be taken very seriously and it’s the same when it comes to what people write. Many countries copied western style constitutions in the English language, even though the masses or citizens speak another language. It makes you wonder how they can even understand the laws!

It beats my mind, how a country like Ghana will have its legislature debate, enact and pass bills in English when the citizens can’t even express themselves in English.What happens when they go breaking the laws?

To me most things sounds and look like a joke in this country. Every time there’s talk of workshops, conferences, seminars and nothing is achieved, few of us see any results or resolutions adopted during all these meetings, conferences where attendants seem to drink water and sleep when someone is giving a speech.

Back to reality, Ghanaians, why do you write on personal resume/cv's all these hobbies you don’t really have?

My research tells me you mostly list all these hobbies of reading and listening to music on your cv's, but I think I can and will redefine what your real hobbies are, your real hobbies which I think you should put on your cv's to make them nice and attractive ha ha. Ghanaians are throwing waste in sewers, especially plastic bags everywhere in the country; breeding mosquitoes; some places smelling shit; bringing each other down; loving to see your fellow people suffer; standing in the streets and selling all kinds of items in this hot scorching sun; urinating around walls and decent places without washing your hands; talking without action; always begging for aid or asking some international donor agency to come to your aid; having no water and carrying buckets of water on your head all day and thinking its right whiles you pay your water bills and taxes; electricity going on and off and being satisfied with it, dumping of waste, plastic bags and shitting in your seas, wow; creating unemployment and building churches instead of schools; and wanting to travel outside the country, come back buy a big car and build big houses. My fellow Ghanaians, to me the above-mentioned hobbies are the true hobbies you have and not reading and listening to music. If you read, what do you read and that kind of morals do you learn from all your reading?

Why don’t you practice what you preach instead of preaching what you don’t practice?

This clearly depicts the savagery some of us talk about everyday.
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

These pictures are solely mine and owned by me.

On my way back from the beach on a Sunday, this is the biggest savagery i witnessed in my life live with my digital camera.

A truck load of building blocks with young men between the ages of 23 to 30 years sitting on top of building blocks, the truck turns upside down and this is what happens.
Ghanaians, this is the kinda country we live in and this could have happen to anybody, we live in a country where we have no emergency services, no ambulances and not even first aid boxes in cars.
When this incident happened, i witness fire servicemen were called in to come help pick the dead bodies, the most shocking part of it was, these men aren't trained medics, the way and manner they picked up the humans will cause more injuries and pain if some of the victims were to survive.
This is a country that prides itself with aid and all the big names in aid agencies/donors, all am asking is where does all the donations of medical supplies go? As we all can clearly see, the dead bodies being carried to the back of a truck with human eyes poking out without body bags, what respect and dignity do we have for our fellow citizens as we watch them die like flies, you see people standing there helplessly, i overhead one man say "oh the blood is staining the white truck, people are dying, there's an emergency situation and this man is thinking of property, i just said to him, do you see people dying or not? Why do you wanna worry about blood staining the truck? He was speechless. Human beings dying like flies and no one cares.
The ordinary man cant be blamed, i understand, they pay their taxes and elect their officials to work for them by making their lives better but these officials after elections only care for themselves, their pockets, families and lavish lifestyles forgetting to even put the country first.
Ghanaians you need to hold your leaders accountable and responsible if possible by demonstrating but then i also understand, the many poor will have to wander about the basics of life like water and 2 square meal a day to get through the day, so how can accountablilty work here?

You have ministers and members of parliament who fly first class with their families and girlfriends, ride in $60,000 cars and build big houses with the taxpayers money but hardly will they go to parliament to debate about emergency situations and ambulance access in the country, in parliament, rather they go debating their salaries, new cars, phantom policies which hardly exist and think of new ways of begging the West for more aid, the aid that never gets down to the poor.
You have human beings that live like this in the 21st century and its very nerve racking when people talk about aid, we been getting aid for the past 60years or more, where is this aid? The educational, medical, financial and agricultural aid we receive from the West, where does all go?
The ambulances i see here in this country are only for dead bodies from the hospitals or for conveying dead bodies during funerals to the cemetery, the ambulances are all parked all day and wont go pick up such accidents victims, our highways are left just like that without any paramedics or ambulances. I have said time and time again, about 75% of deaths that occurs during accidents on our roads can be prevented if we were really a serious race.

These same leaders that rules us ride in all the plush cars and get into accidents themselves sometimes and you see passerby's cut down branches of trees to cover their bodies, what a shame.

Children in Africa
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Every single day in Africa
There's a child out there
Who's hungry and sick without meds.
And also without shelter and clothing
Wanting your love and succor.

Every single day in Africa
A child goes hungry to bed
Looking badly malnourished and ill-fed
Not sure where and when the next meal comes.

Lives in slums in unhygienic conditions
In a bid to break barriers and above par

Every single day in Africa
A child drops out of school
Due to Abject poverty and starvation
And an inability to pay school fees
Which results to disillusionment

Every single day in Africa
A child is psychologically abused
Sent out on the cold streets
To eke out a living for his/her family
In spite of very imminent dangers on his/her way

Every single day in Africa
A child wakes up to harsh realities
Sold into prostitution, slavery and crime
Against their own very wishes
To a world of hate and bestiality

Every single day in Africa
A child is faced with humiliation
Despair and suppression of own voices
He cant be heard and he's preyed upon
In a world where he seeks protection and love

So many have lost hope.
Some have had their trust damaged
Some are living for the day
Waiting for what tomorrow brings
In a cruel world that care less
About the future of the Africa Child...

Foundation of Hope exists to care, help
and provide education, clothing, food, health care
and shelter to many of these children putting
smiles on their faces and showing them enormous
Love.

Life is Sad
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Every Wednesday is school feeding program and as director l was there as usual, was a long day with kids eating, having fun and at the end of the day they realizing they are loved and cared for. Well, government and ministers don't care, we make the difference because we care, my foundation tries as much as it can to provide every kid/child in the various chosen poor suburbs or communities without a relative or care the the equal opportunities given to other kids most important the basics of life.
Foundation also work hard to bring children of the streets to shelter and grant them scholarship leading to their entry into secondary schools thereby gaining access to quality education which after they can be gainfully employed.

Foundation also work to integrate the elderly back into society as mostly they are seen as witches and sent to witch camps or are neglected, what comes with elderly here, elderly people here aren't much well taken care of, its a huge multi- task confronting many western countries today so how much more Ghana, Africa.
In many African countries, young people beat up their grand parents just because they are senile. weak/feeble and wrinkled.

Most of the elderly turn not to be clean, they think they are old and therefore nothing or no one to attracts, if they have court cases which they even stand the chance to win, they wont attend just because of some illness or weakness, this is where my foundation comes through with meetings every week to hear their various stories and concerns.

We educated all these elderly folks on the various major health diseases and risks, provide medical care and treatment follow up with results at their various homes, provide them with food and other needed items and groceries, organize games for them, make them do some stretches and throw balls.
Home visits are frequent to see how all of them are faring.

Life is sad

its sad how people you know become people you knew

its sad how you think you cant grow but you already grew

its sad how you can start over when your young but not old

its sad how you say were friends but you act so cold

its sad how people are here but tomorrow they'll be gone

its sad how friendships dont last forever but they last very long

its sad how people dont think and make so many mistakes

its sad how your best friend was someone so fake

the saddest part of all is we live like this for eternity

but the saddest part of all is this is the life to be.....

Only together can we help eliminate Poverty & Misery from our World
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

This is just a piece for you out there to read and see what l spend most of my time and day doing in case many of you been wondering which l very well know.
For years, l have been trying and working in my own small and little way with very limited resources to better the lives of the many under privileged people in my society especially children and the elderly.

"The poverty experienced by children in some African countries like Ghana is beyond imagination -- painful images of sick, dying, starving and abused children is what l am used to and see everyday.

Whilst others live with more than the essentials to survive, these children are dying daily from unnecessary causes and from lack of basic needs.

The UN, Humanitarian and International Charities estimate as many as 7,000 Children living on the Streets of some developing countries ..

Change how you think and break the mean cycle in you, ask how you can come on board or become a member to give a helping hand for a better cause.

Just observe around and be thankful for all that you have in this transitory lifetime.......
Then say to yourself, you are fortunate, you have so much more than what you need to be content.

Lets try not to feed this endless cycle of consumerism and immorality in which this so called "modern and advanced" society forgets and ignores the other two thirds of our brothers and sisters.

Sitting By The Door One Morning
Looking At The Children Going To School, Then I
Thought About The One's In The Streets
The one's without shoes
Moving Up And Down And No Where To Go
No Education No Future
Why Do They Suffer So Much, If They Have Parents Why ? If You Really Don't Want Children Why Do You Have Them ?
If You Really Don't Want Children Why Do You Have Them ?
Why ?
If You Can't Care For Them, Why ?
We Can Fight And Overcome, We Can Stop Children From The Streets.
Lets keep hope alive.

Souls Are Crying & Dying, Why Do You Want To Throw So Much Away ?
Many of These Children Know No Waste, Government Doesn't Care And No One Cares.

Teach us your mistakes you have made in the past and donate materials that will make others learn and benefit from it, education is the key, thou shalt not give man a fish, teach him how to fish and thou shall fish always.

Only together can we help eliminate Poverty & Misery from our World

everyday they are talking about
black people.

Singh:
your Honor,
as you can plainly see,
when i was in power
things was going to get right,
i had all the white people
with money on my side
all the brown people
was starting to feel like
they were living in miami

Judge:
but what about black people?

Singh:
well a was just getting
around to them
when l lost the elections your Honor

My mind:
that is no excuse your Honor
before him,
black people was getting very self sufficient

You both following the same thing
that has been and still is
keeping down black people.

My mind:
when you not in power your Honor,

you have to sing.

Judge:
I am givin you both another 1000 years.
none of you have the solution
to black people problems
l suggest you read
the philosphy and opinions
of Marcus Garvey.
study them carefully,
then i might just grant a pardon
and another thing,
before you begin your sentence,
both of you visit the arcade
and see how poor women
run business from nothing.
let the domestic helpers
show you how to use $130
to feed a family of ten for one week.
now take them away.
Better must come, change must come.

Hearsay/Rumor/Evidence
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Live and experience it, if you feel it, you know it !
The just ended Olympic Games have seen the Chinese come under heavy criticism from the West about their Country, especially Beijing, being polluted. l am like excuse me, their country is polluted and so what ? The West don’t have polluted Countries and you are dying of all the major diseases in the world. How often do you hear Chinese people dying of Breast Cancers, Strokes, Alzheimer’s and numerous Brain diseases?
Go to China and speak to people over 100 years old and you will be amazed.

The Chinese people have the best foods in the World when it comes to assorted cuisines, spices and vegetables sauce preparations. You will find a Chinese restaurant in every Country.
The West will argue and say their food is junk, Westerners make faces when many things about The Chinese comes up, this and that, but what foods, specialties or cuisines have the West been able to produce, invent or exported?
You have the best of foods in the World with all the obese people, How many Chinese people you see suffering from obese? do the statistics for me.

These noodles and spices paste you are manufacturing today all came from China - Marco Polo didn’t embark on that silk road for nothing: he brought something home with him.

In addition, they have the best traditional herbal treatments coupled with acupuncture and hot ointments for aches. We should criticize pollution wherever it is found, but we ought to be sure that we balance it with praise as well.
This is a wonderful race - cigarette smoking there is just the biggest in the world, but in China when you are drinking or smoking, you have your natural antibiotic, the great garlic, by your side in every corner of the Provinces

They just chew garlic when they are smoking or driking, its pretty good, l think reason why they age..

Amazingly, l speak to many Westerners, l ask them, will you like to go to China or Have you been to China? Answers l get are just absured, first thing many will say, China is polluted or what the hell am l going to do there, then l will ask, have you been there ? Answer is no, l will ask again how come you know all what you are saying, answer will be is what l hear, is what you hear, your life is based on hearsay, my fellow friends l always hear this, hearsay means nothing, get the facts/evidence and dont believe all what people say.
l find it very eccentric, how many Westerners get lots of stuff locked up in their minds just upon hearing them

In this world, one's man's meat, will be another man's poison.

We shouldn't forget what we saw in China in the 80's, sick Chinese children dying and large scale poverty, The Chinese should be commended as one of the biggest Countries to bring lots of its citizens out of poverty. They have done tremendously well.

I wish Africans will learn from the Chinese and Africans stop giving excuses for keeping your fellow African men poor and blaming the white man for your woes, wars and poverty.

It's beats my mind, how the Chinese Population is bigger than that of the population of the whole African continent and still Africans go begging fthe Chinese for aid.

Simply as, one man having a family consisting 15 members, another man's family consisting 4 members, then family of 4 members go begging family of 15 members, geez wont family of 4 members, take a break, sit down, ask themselves, how is family of 15 making it so much that we with only 4 members can go beg them for food. Just common sense.

My advice is, those of you who despise the Chinese or are quick to say ugly things about them upon hearing about their Country, stop, learn a thing or two about them and their ways and live long.

A slip of the foot may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

HELPFUL ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.
Logic & Common Sense

l hope everybody enjoyed Clean Switches Month,
l am back, this is what l have for you.

HELPFUL ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC

Considering my experience over the years and the difficult trend of life these days, l consider it prudent, if all will heed these pieces of advice, it will make a huge impact on your lives.
- Never trust any person, even your own father and mother, trust only yourself or God if you believe in him.
- Be careful, what a person thinks of cannot be seen on the face. The face is different from the mind.
- Document transactions of any form you make with people. Apply your signature or preferably thumbprint (vice versa)
- Never underestimate anyone, especially your friends. Everybody is capable of putting you into serious trouble.
- The adage: "a friend in need is a friend in deed" is not applicable these days. Can anyone find a trusted friend ?
- This age is likened to " Sodom and Gomorrah" where evil doings are the order of the day. The people who do good things are very few and they are difficult to find.
- Fear most, especially those who call themselves 'God Fearing'- Do they really fear God? They are dangerous beware.
- Do not be taken by the sweet promises and don't be tempted by the shiny apply or eat of a bitter fruit. Suspect everybody and live long.
- We have been told, We are descendants of 'Adam' naturally. We are envious and evil.
- Watch the people who put undue pressure on you for favors, they might have evil intentions.
- Be careful when doing good, the times are 'evil;' and the ungrateful are many.
- The Bible as we know says, " Do good to all men" How to do it:
- First., make sure what the person is telling you is perfectly true, think about it several times if it makes sense. If you will not have the time and the ways to investigate, then do not be disturbed if the person disappoints you.
- Give to people things that if they do not return or pay back will not disturb you.
- Where the request involves, " big money" or something valuable, please have time to investigate their claim and be very sure before you give out. Tell yourself, if this is what its about and the person claims all of this request, why does the person needs my help.
- The times in which we are living now bring about evil doing, unfaithfulness, insincerity and wickedness. There is pressure on people and one will do "anything" I mean "anything" to free oneself.
- Human beings are like "chameleons" - they might end up duping you.
- They can easily tell lies to free themselves. In a twinkle of an eye, they will not be the same people you have always known.
- Beware of people who talk "big" they might end up duping you.
- Never depend on a human being's promise. He can even die before the time promised. Just accept it. Situations can just make it impossible for one to fulfill a promise.
- Man's promise is not claimed by faith. You have it when it is in your hand.
- Be careful how you eat or drink outside your home. You can easily be poisoned by close friends. Be selective in choosing friends. Not every friend is a friend.
- Study your friends. Be with only those who do not look down on you and those who do not envy you.
- Human beings by nature (Adamic Nature) are very aggressive and can do anything just to satisfy a want or need.
- Be careful how you tell your secrets to people, especially friends. They can capitalize on them to harm you. " Man by nature is Envious ".
My friends take these pieces of advice seriously and be at PEACE.

Common Sense's Clean Switches Day
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Common Sense's Clean Switches Day (Registered)

Feed Your Brains....

From Today to Saturday, l am educating you on something that might be killing you slowly.
Many of you live out there in the West but take life for granted, but life is all we have. We need to protect it and age gracefully. With death no one knows how it is, looks or seems: no one has died and come back to tell us how death is. That life should be fully cherished has always been my stance.

l tell many of my Western friends, especially Americans and Canadians, many a time when they travel outside their own country is when they begin to love or cherish their identity. Because then everything seems to flow so well for them; you see the joy everywhere when you show your passport; your embassies and various consulates will help at any given time; emergency numbers are listed in case you get into any trouble, to the extent of airlifting or evacuating citizens when situations are serious.

Not like some of us. Our passports aren’t respected then when we traveling and visit our own embassies, like that feeling, when you see your country's flag flying on some kind of building and you feel like you are home but you get there and you find out that your own fellow citizens don’t even want you. You see you aren’t even welcomed. Rather they ask you what you are doing here, if you want or ask any help, embassy staff are like, did we ask you to come here, who asked you to come here. In Africa the ignorance is the only thing killing the many, its just so high and just the order of the day, embassy staff you are assigned to protect and help your fellow citizens.

In many other countries your systems are well defined and you have leaders who care.
Where some of us live, what we see and go through everyday many of you haven't an iota of an idea , nothing works like you all know, power and water goes off anytime unannounced for days sometimes weeks, no centralized cooking gas system, you have to carry these gas bottles or canisters to go buy gas before cooking, no medical coverage or insurance, no ambulances, no credit system, time is not respected, appointments become disappointments, no planning, services are rendered to customers disrespectfully and service providers act like they are doing customers favors. There's nothing like consumer protection and rights, leaders are only for their big stomachs and their families and always get away with crimes when they commit them, its a crime down here to arrest any leader when they break the laws.

All in all most of us are happy and respect life here, a piece of advice to you all is, if you live in the West, where most things will be defined as good, then cherish what you have, be proud of it, and please respect life, because what some of us see here everyday is just unimaginable to many of you, my mom always says this, many Westerns can't just live here, because the system alone stresses you coupled with your daily physical or emotional stress.
When l talk to many over there and l hear about sicknesses and diseases my heart hurts. Lets look at some things that might carry viruses and infection.

Have you thought of all the electrical appliance and wall switches and sockets, handles and locks in your home ?

Today l am initiating a three day Switch cleaning, we touch these on/off switches, handles and locks more than anything in our entire lives.

l don’t know if you will like to do this alone or with your family, whichever way.

If you live alone or with family, take a piece of cloth or an old towel, mix a good smelling detergent soapy water, soak cloth or towel in soapy water, squeeze soapy water out of cloth and start cleaning, clean the surfaces of every on/off button switch and wall sockets you see.
Mind you, l never said go put water on switch button on any appliance or wall sockets that has live electricity running through it, before you start cleaning turn any appliance or socket off, if you dont turn them off you do so at your own risk as its dangerous and can cause electrocution.

We touch these things everyday, we wash our hands often but still isn’t enough as there’s lots of chemicals being left on our fingers even after we wash our hands we still touch them.
We are cleaning every little on/off switch that you see in your home, your desktop including your keyboard and mouse (touch pad), laptop, printer, home theaters, dvd players, radios, microwave, washing machines, gas /electric stove, telephone dials, dryers, fridge, bread and sandwich toasters, remote controls, televisions be it flat screens, door/window locks and handles and even, the women, the locks on your fancy bags.

Every switch that you hold to turn on and off should be thoroughly cleaned, let the viruses that get in contact with our fingers go away.

After cleaning, let surfaces dry and feel the freshness when you touch all these surfaces again.

Tell me how it feels to touch clean and tidy surfaces. Can you feel the difference? Is your mind more at rest knowing that this particular way of spreading personal pollution will not be affecting you and your family?

By popular request, cleaning has been extended to the end of August.

The famed $185m Dream Painting

Touch Your Dream

Have you ever seen a dream walking?
Have you ever heard a dream talking?
You are the master of your dreams
If you pull the right strings
It could be talking to you
If you pull the right strings
It could be walking to you.

You are the one to make it happen
You're the only one that knows what is
You are holding the key to your dreams
Don't hesitate grab the chance
Before it's too late.

Reach out and touch your dreams.

Don't let them tell you it is impossible
That is what they told all heroes before
In a hero's mind the word does not exist
When you're 80 years old
Thinking about your past
Regretting every minute of your life
That you've lost
You will wonder where the time went
If you do the right thing
It could be talking to you
Don't hesitate, grab the chance
Before it's too late.

Reach out and touch your dream.

I Will Follow My Dream...

How About You ?
Are you following your dream ?
Trouble arrives in measures,
and we stack it up real high,
until we're convinced,
we have no reason to try.
If you feel defeated,
you're absolutely wrong,
for if you follow your dream,
you could never lose for long.

Ignore the minor set-backs
that pile up and trouble you,
or you will build a mountain,
out of the stones hurled at you.

The future holds great promise,
your destiny unknown,
but God is always helping,
and you're never alone.
Soar bravely toward your goal.

Let nothing darken the way.
You can change your tomorrow,
if you seek your dream today.

THE CATS AND DOGS HAVE FORGIVEN EACH OTHER, WHAT IS WRONG WITH US ?
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

PEACE

THE CATS AND DOGS HAVE FORGIVEN EACH OTHER,
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US ?

This blog comes from deep down the bottom of my heart, it's a blog that talks about peace, racial discrimination and lack of misunderstanding amongst the human race leading to all of the hatred and wars in this World.

You see when we read in the Bible about the Creation of the Earth, the Bible tells us that Man was Created in the Image of God, but it does not tell us whether God was Black, White, Colored, Indian or whatever.

When l see a black man l see the image of God, l see a white man l see the image of God, l see an Indian l see the image of God, God loves everybody, we are the images of God, God is one that is why we are his children, we got to be Together As One, the one thing that is keeping us apart is misunderstanding.

Today we are going to bury misunderstanding 69 feet down and put up a very big rock, this one is called

TOGETHER AS ONE

In my whole life,
My whole life
I've got a dream

Too many people
Hate Wars
Why do you like it?

Hey you Rasta man
Hey European, American, Indian Man,
British Man, Iraqi Man, Israeli, Arabs
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese, German
Russian, French, The Chinese and African

The cats and the dogs
Have forgiven each other
What is wrong with us ?

All those years
Fighting each other
But no solution

GOD BLESS LUCKY !

Contaminated Minds
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

Contaminated Minds

Some people search for the holy grail
Run round in circles and chase their own tails.
But you can’t really blame them for clutching at straws
For weeding some truth in our morals and laws.

Some people say that revolution will descend
On this madness end this confusion.
But we’ve all heard the privileged boast and preach,
And the promised land we want is still out of reach.

I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on the cowards and fools

He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction the working man's friend

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too
But contaminated minds are blind to truth
Contaminated minds speak with loudest voice
But not everybody has the luxury of choice

Africans l urge all of you to stand up for your rights and hold your leaders accountable and responsible.
Mother Earth has endowed and blessed us with lots of food and natural resources, but we are always hungry and begging due to the wicked and inhumane policies of leaders like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT AFRICAN'S
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

l Started hearing the Voice of this man on air, all of a sudden l begun to realize all what he says about Africa and it's Leaders are true, he is now a very good friend of mine, l have come to know a lot of things from him which wouldn't know
in all my life, l am very grateful to him, he is a new breed of African Leader who will make lots of changes happen.
Charles Kofi Wayo

Hey Chuck more grease to your elbows, we wont stop the fight till we get there, the people have to be liberated at all cost they have been put in dark too long, thanks for all your "common sense" radio program it has had a good educational impact on my life, now l speak freely without being scared, l have come to know my basic rights as you thought me. We will always hold the Truth !

HE IS a maverick of a politician but definitely a fascinating character. He is always in
one controversy or the other and has flirted with almost all the political parties in the country.

CHARLES KOFI WAYO on separate occasions dared both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) governments to handover the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to him, promising to transform it into a gold mine in no time.

Popularly known as CHUCK, Kofi Wayo ( KW ), a strong critic of the current government, is fond of sticking a cigar between his thick lips and riding in luxurious cars.

He spoke to DAILY GUIDE ( DG ) about his family, perceived wealth, childhood, sex life, belief in God and why he smokes.

DG: Good morning, Sir.
KW: It must be good for you but without water how can it be good for me.

DG: You are quaffing a bottle of beer and still complaining?
KW: I have to drink some liquid you know so I choose to drink beer.

DG: That’s a good life for you.
KW: Well I do not take government money. I earn my own money so I can afford to have a beer but the Minister who is taking people’s money should not be having beer.

DG: Are you a family man?
KW: Yes, but they are grown and on their own now. I have two kids, the eldest is 21 years old and they are on their own in America. They were born there. I brought them here and when they saw the place they said they never want to see it again unless it is fixed up.

DG: Boys or girls and are they married?
KW: Beautiful girls. They are not married but they have boyfriends.

DG: Ghanaian boys?
KW: Damn no. I never had any Ghanaian friends. I did not socialize with Ghanaians. The only Ghanaian I knew was Mike Soussuodis but I did not even know he was a Ghanaian. We met in New York and I thought he was a Puerto Rican.

DG: So where is your wife right now?
KW: She is back in America and does not want to have anything to do with this place.

DG: What does she do for a living?
KW: She is a housewife. We are well-to-do you know.

DG: Are you saying you are a rich man?
KW: I am ok. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am not. But I am comfortable.

DG: How do you make your money?
KW: I sell arms. That is my job. It is a good business.

DG: What type of arms do you sell?
KW: I sell DCs, Kinetic Weapons, Jet Fighters, Military Tanks; I know the Arms business pretty good.

DG: Do you sell your arms to African governments?
KW: I have never sold arms in Africa. I know people lie that I had an arms deal in Congo and all that. All I did was that when the Blacks were fighting the whites, I sneaked in some live arms for them against the Rhodesian forces and I regret it now. We were told not to sell arms to African leaders because they use it to kill their own people. I sell my arms in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and so on. I have 30% of my business in the Middle East.

DG: How did you get into the arms business?
KW: I grew up in the United States Army and I was a Barracks Boy that was how it started.

DG: You were in the US Army? How did you get there?
KW: I did not get into it. It was my father. The American guy who adopted me was a military man so I was raised around the US Army barracks.

DG: Why were you adopted?
KW: My dad was with the West African Frontiers Force and was fighting in Burma, when he met the guy who adopted me and they became friends. When he returned from Burma, the guy at times came down to visit our family. My dad got involved in the anti Nkrumah thing and was slapped with some jail sentence of some sort.

It happened that the guy who adopted me came to visit us during that time and also visited my father in jail. They agreed that I should be taken out of the country.

DG: Where were you staying by then?
KW: Nima (in Accra) because we had run away from our village for political reasons.

DG: Which village was that?
KW: Kofi Pare, about 15 miles from Asamankese. That was where I come from.

DG: Are you not an Adangme?
KW: Yes but I was born at Kofi Pare and that is my home. My father was born in Dawhenya and my mother was born in Dodowa and that is their hometown but I was not born there. I do not care where my father comes from; that is his problem.

DG: Do you have siblings?
KW: Yes. There were 10 of us. Two are dead so we have six boys and two girls left. I am the oldest because they were all born after I had left. My dad came out of jail and decided to do capacity building so he pumped out nine more children.

DG: How was childhood like for you?
KW: I grew up in Nima and I remember I used to sell bread, banana, peanuts and iced water. We were very poor because my dad was in jail and we had no money. We were always scared and my mother was also scared because she had to protect us.

DG: When were you born?
KW: I do not know when I was born. It must have been after the Second World War. It was about 10, 12 or 13 years after the war.

DG: So when do you celebrate your birthday?
KW: I do not and it does not matter to me anymore. Everyday to me is my birthday; I am blessed.

DG: So how do you fill your forms?
KW: I was born in a primitive society and you want to hold that against me? When they gave me a passport they wrote in it that I was born in 1955 because my dad said I was born around that time.

DG: Do you take care of your mum?
KW: I take good care of my mum. I honour her because she brought me into this world and educated me. She is my life and stays with me in East Legon.

DG: Kofi, you are always complaining. Do you not get high blood pressure?

KW: No, my pressure is always low because God knows I am telling the truth.

DG: Do you believe in God?
KW: How can you ask me that? I live God, I eat God, I talk God, I sleep God, I walk God.

DG: What do you know about God?
KW: To me, He is a spiritual presence and I as a human being was created by Him and I owe Him a lot of thanks to make sure that my fellow human beings do not suffer unnecessarily.

DG: What is your religious affiliation?
KW: I am not religious; I am spiritual because religion is made by men and it can be corrupted. But I am spiritual and deal directly with my creator.

DG: How do you deal with your creator?
KW: I take the best from the Moslem and Christian philosophies.

DG: You go to church?
KW: No, I don’t. I did that when I was a kid in the States but I don’t any more.

DG: You go to the mosque?
KW: No.

DG: You go to the shrine?
KW: What shrine? I pray because God is everywhere and I kneel down by my bed and communicate with my creator.

DG: How do you refer to this your creator?
KW: I call Him Creator that is all.

DG: Where are your flashy cars; are you now broke?
KW: This is why God does not bless the Black Man. You have no water to drink and you are asking about flashy cars. University students are shitting in the bush and the press is worried about my cars. They are in my house. Why should I be riding in these cars when my people have no water?

DG: When you were riding in them the people still had no water.
KW: I did not ride in them. It was my brother, George, you were seeing in the cowboy’s hat. I rode in the Rolls Royce about just twice; the rest was my brother.

DG: Wow! Are you twins?
KW: Everybody thinks my brother is me because Ghanaians do not know me. He wears the cowboy hats and puffs a cigar and I sit in taxis and use ‘trotro’. I have now educated my brother to stop using my cars for show while our people suffer. I do not believe in show.

DG: Why do you smoke and what do you smoke?
KW: You have a baby face and ask such questions? My dad smokes and I use to watch him and took it from him. I like cigars. I smoke big cigars.

DG: What is a big cigar?
KW: An American or a Cuban cigar.

DG: You smoke Cuban cigars?
KW: Yes, I do not like Fidel Castro but I like his cigars.

DG: Are they expensive?
KW: It depends on where you buy them, 60 Pounds or $100.

DG: You spend that much money on cigars?
KW: Look boy, I work 24 hours a day to get money to smoke, do you dig that?

DG: Why do you smoke?
KW: I get energy from my cigar. It keeps me awake.

DG: You hop from one party to the other. Are you a political prostitute?
KW: It is only a fool that does not change his mind. I joined the people and found out that they are a bunch of crooks and I left them because God would punish me if I become a crook. I knelt down on my knees and prayed to God and I left them.

DG: Do you have a social life?
KW: Why would I enjoy life when my people are suffering?
DG: You do not hang out for a drink?
KW: No.

DG: How long has your wife been away?
KW: Which one do you mean, my former wife or my current one?
DG: Do you have more than one wife?
KW: I had two wives. I divorced one and made a mistake of marrying another one. I should not have done that. I married a white woman called Tmmy.

DG: And how long has Tmmy been away from you?
KW: For four years.

DG: And since then you have not had sex?
KW: No. In our culture, people believe in drinking, dancing and having sex. I fear God and I believe sex is not for fun. Why would I go to have sex with a strange woman I do not know?
DG: So you do not have sex?
KW: Well I do not want to fornicate but I like sex. I did it when I was a younger man but no more.

DG: You cook your food and wash your clothes?
KW: For three million cedis a month, I can get a damn good cook.

DG: Would you accept an appointment from this government?
KW: I won’t take it because God would punish me if I associate with them; you know they are crooks.

DG: How much are you worth?
KW: It is between me and my bankers and my tax man.
DG: How should Ghanaians remember you?
KW: I am not dead yet.

DG: It is been nice talking to you.

KW: Cut the bullshit out there!

Hospital Delivers Babies with Sachet Water
» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

The severity of the water crisis in the country is affecting most Ghanaians including unborn babies, and this is 51 years after Ghana became independent.

As a result of the water shortage, the maternity section of the La Government Hospital has been compelled to use sachet water, popularly referred to as ‘pure water’ to deliver babies.

According to a TV3 news bulleting aired Thursday evening, March 6, 2008, the hospital has no other option than to buy sachet water for use in deliveries and other medical care.

On the news bulleting, nurses and other health workers were seen carefully opening the sachets and emptying the water into buckets for use. This activity apart from the cost element is also time consuming, especially in the light of the human resource shortages that most health facilities, including the La Government Hospital are facing. Scarce human resources, who are already overworked, are compelled by the situation to spend time emptying sachet water into buckets.

The hospital on Independence Day March 6, 2008, had six deliveries.

Unfortunately for these new born babies, the 51 years of independence has not delivered on the most essential of human needs, water, to make their entry into the world any smoother.
Most african governments ( including entire cabinet members, ministers and policy formulators ) are criminals they should all be sent to the Hague for Crimes Against Humanity, how can you make women give birth in such conditions with water sachet and sleeping on the floor and look at this little kid, he is smiling while carrying the sachet water, sees nothing wrong with it, you see how africa is retrogressing, this kid gets home and his neck will hurt, he wont be able to study then he goes writing examinations and fail then human capital we just hosted african football cup of nation and wasted millions of dollars for what, just to show off .

Some of us we will continue to educate the masses and the governments tries to shuts us down. we will talk, we wont give up and continue to fight the cause.

South African's Ex-Deputy President Zuma 'Showered To Avoid HIV'

» ‎ Ignorance,The Biggest Disease In Africa, Kills More Africans Than Any Other Disease.

South African ex-Deputy President

Jacob Zuma said he showered after sex with an HIV-positive woman, thinking this would reduce his risk of being infected.

This emerged as he was cross-questioned during his trial for rape. He denies rape but admits to consensual sex, and said he was ready to marry his accuser.

( on top right hand corner Jacob Zuma, these are some of the people ruling us in africa, they are called big men eh, they are above the law and after such immoral behavior which is beyond human imagination in today's civilized world, you will find some western leaders awarding him pretty soon, mark my words, award for what ? for spreading HIV in the World, this is where i have problem with western leaders why award such a person with criminal and immoral conduct, better if shunned )

Remarks about HIV made by Mr Zuma in court
earlier this week have angered Aids educators.

(on the right hand corner in scarf The alleged rape victim has not been named outside court )

More than 5million South Africans have HIV - the highest number in the world.

Mr Zuma - previously seen as a possible future president - retains considerable popularity. His supporters see the charge as a political conspiracy.

Mr Zuma said in court on Wednesday he had left his bedroom after having sex with the woman and taken a shower because this "would minimise the risk of contracting the disease [HIV]".

He also said that he was prepared to marry the woman who accused him of rape, and that her aunts were discussing the possibility of marriage and a bride price as Zulu tradition dictates.

"Yes, if we had reached an agreement with that, I would have had my cows ready," Mr Zuma told the court, referring to "lobola": the traditional donation of animals by a husband to his bride's family.

Mr Zuma was being cross-examined by prosecutor Charin de Beer, after testifying in his defence on Monday and Tuesday.

Dismay

Aids educators now fear that while female-to-male HIV transmission is indeed less common than male-to-female transmission, Mr Zuma's explanation could be interpreted as meaning men are not at risk.

"Statements like that can throw years of hard work down the drain," says Vicci Tallis of the Gender Aids Forum - echoing the dismay expressed by other Aids activists, whose unease has been compounded by Mr Zuma's previous high-profile role in government.

Mr Zuma's testimony that he did not use a condom during the encounter, despite knowing the woman was HIV-positive, caused dismay among local Aids activists.

Before being sacked as deputy president last year, Mr Zuma headed the government's National Aids Council and the Moral Regeneration Campaign.

Mr Zuma said he normally uses condoms, but did not have one available on the night of the alleged rape.

Having unprotected sex is thought to be the main way in which Aids is spread in Africa.

Mr Zuma, 63, insisted that the woman, 31, who may not be named, had initiated the sexual encounter.

Last week, the defence failed in an application to have the rape charge dropped.

The case has attracted huge publicity and court sessions have drawn demonstrations by groups both for and against Mr Zuma.

Mr Zuma - a veteran of the ANC struggle to end apartheid and a favourite of the party's left wing - was once thought a likely successor to Thabo Mbeki as South African president.

But the allegations of rape and corruption are thought by many to have ended that prospect.

A separate corruption trial is scheduled to begin in the Durban High Court in July. Mr Zuma denies the corruption charge.

' Lack of Leadership ' as

Sue Goldstein of Soul City, an HIV education and information group puts it,

She says that while many South Africans remain in denial about Aids, equally worrying is "another group saying they can't control their sexuality, but believe that as men they are less at risk."

She points to "lack of leadership" as one of the problems hindering the struggle against HIV transmission in South Africa, and says it "boggles the mind" that the former leader of the Moral Regeneration Campaign could act in the manner that he admitted to in court.

The fact that Mr Zuma invoked traditional culture as an excuse for not using a condom is a matter of concern, says Dumisani Rabombo from the Men as Partners Programme of the organisation Engender.

"People may think there are African ways of having penetrative sex but with minimal risk of HIV. That doesn't exist," he says.

Mr Rabombo adds that in the experience of his work, older people are more likely than younger people to have faith in unreliable and dangerous traditional beliefs surrounding Aids.

"But you can't guarantee that some young people - especially those who are pro-Zuma - might not think themselves safe," he says.

Just as i was about to finish this blog something popped up.

African National Congress president Jacob Zuma marries his fourth wife.
05 January 2008

African National Congress president Jacob Zuma married his fourth wife, Nompumelelo Ntuli of KwaMaphumulo, at his homestead at Nkandla in northern KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday.

Between 400 and 500 guests -- mainly family -- attended the ceremony, which lasted about three hours. KwaZulu-Natal businessman Erwin Ulbricht was spotted among the guests.

This is all what taxes in Africa are used for, The poor tax payer keeps getting poorer.

How I See It, My Personal Opinion

Readers, this is what i mean when i talk about Ignorance and this is unbelievable and sounds like a fairy tale, but it's true, believe me, this is Africa, The Ignorance stems from the leadership ladder right down to the common man down the ladder, so what do you expect ?

The very people who are elected to lead society and set good examples in society are wrapped up in such grave immoral behavior.

Sometimes my friends in the West ask me about the Aids situation in Africa, i tell them actions of people here doesn't constituent any of the “conventional” model of attacking AIDS, what we call the ABC of AIDS or the ABC approach to HIV prevention.

A is (Abstain)

B is ( Be Faithful)

C is (Use condoms)

has little or no applicability in many African countries. Some Africans especially those in the South dont even believe the virus exist, terrible after all the education and scenes we see and hear on the electronic media, i sure believe even if scientists make the virus available to been seen still some human wont be scared.

l hear comments like these seldon when aids is being discuss on the streets here

"but we are all going to die anyways and so what" , tells you people are not ready to change their lifestyles and having multiple partners is seen as normal.

Some Zuma's generation in South Africa is less willing to change their behavior.

In any civilized country he would be sentenced for misconduct or gross indecent behavior, but he was acquitted, Africa for you and a street child steals food because he is hungry and gets a jail term of 5 years, l always say if i bring 100 good lawyers from the west to africa most of our jails be empty in few weeks, some of the cases that took most of the accused there are baseless and judges here are dictated to.

In africa people in high positions hardly gets sentenced because here justice is to the highest bidder, we don't have rule of law here we have what i term rule of leaders, they always buy their way, if any african leader or in high position be convicted unless Big Brother is behind it and will be at the International Court in the Hague, why should it be that way ? Can't we convict our own leaders ? Don't we elect them ourselves ? Can't we hold them accountable ?

Now Jacob Zuma has been elected the President of the African National Congress in South Africa likely to be the next president of south africa after Mbeki. We waiting to see what happens when he wins the seat, cant imagine, look at his behavior when he wasn't a president and chaired the National Aids council and Moral Regeneration Campaign.

With ignorance like this depicted in it's highest form on this Retrogressive Continent some readers report my blogs to google about my contents being objectionable, i see that in a positive way, once they reading alone is enough the message is getting down, but we should be careful at the end of the day, Posterity is what matters and i will continue the fight to Educate The Masses .

Personal opinion is mine, solely mine and if you want to take me on, take me on as my friend says we are ready for battle like they say in the 82nd airborne.
