LEARN THE RIGHT THINGS GHANA!

It is always said that there is no smoke with a fire, and every old man was once a child. The blindly copying of western cultures by many Africa countries has brought them to where they are: Ghana an epitome of such blind copying has reached a no return stage, and left with trying all alternative ways to succeed. A perfect example of a good western culture I would like Ghana to adopt is the US Thanksgiving. The United State of America Thanksgiving is a holiday since 1863 after a federal holiday crops were gathered in November 1823 Governor William Bradford of the 1620 pilgrim colony ‘Plymouth Plantation’ Massachusetts proclaimed. On 1 November 1777 ny order of Congress the first National Thanksgiving proclamation was proclaimed and signed by Henry Laurens president of Continental Congress. The third Thursday of December 1777 was thus officially set aside. Then again January 1, 1795, the 1st president of U.S George Washington, wrote his famed National Thanksgiving proclamation, in which he says that it is……
“Our duty as a people, with devout reverence and affectionate gratitude, to acknowledge our many and great obligations to Almighty God, and to implore Him to continue and confirm his blessings we experienced.” And was signed on 19th February 1795 and set aside by George Washington as national Thanksgiving Day. Abraham Lincoln by Act of Congress proclaimed an annual National Day of Thanksgiving “On the last Thursday of November as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens” In this Thanksgiving proclamation, the 16th president says that it is…
“…announced in the Holy scriptures and proven in all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord…But we have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, by the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own…It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice by the whole America people…”
. It is quiet wonderful and great United State of America is excelling in all their endeavors and most people around the world see America as a source of relief and a good place to relax for holiday, It is known worldly as ‘Heaven on Earth’ During Abraham Lincoln regime he gave a speech saying that those nations are blessed whose name is the Lord. Ghana is facing a lot of challenges which the opposition New Patriotic Party can help me mention is alphabetically, the Dumsor, NHIS, School feeding keep mentioning. Most of the time Is use to discuss minor cases of disagreement. For once let adopt a method, let get back to our maker and a set a day aside like the 6th March, like Founder’s day and give thanks to the almighty Lord great things He has done for us.

THE APRIL FOOL PRANK!

Rain! Rain!! go away go and come another day…..Herr early days in school was super fun as young children we taught life was eat, play and sleep. As the waves of adulthood blows there we got to know how unpredictable life is. Cracking of jokes and teasing each other was a normal activity played among friends. There has been survival things my colleagues’ and I used to entertain ourselves some include hide and seek, computer games, brain teasers, ghost riders, and occasionally pulling of pranks and many others. There was this pranks which always got us into trouble and here I introduce the piece you just started reading ‘The April Fool Prank!’. April Fool Day is a day known widely as all fool’s day or a foolish day its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar New Year’s Day Moves Ancient cultures, including those of the Romans and Hindus, celebrated New Year’s Day on or around the vernal equinox (March 2006 or March 21st) in medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year’s Day to be celebrated Jan 1. That year, France, adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year’s day to Jan 1. According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year’s day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on “fools errands” or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually spread throughout Europe. It believed that the explanation given for the April fool day was half truth since England for instance didn’t adopt the Gregory Calendar until 1752 yet they were celebrating April fool’s day and also the historical evidence for this explanation. April Fool’s Day celebrated every April 1 where people are sent on a fool errands and if become a victim of a trick or boas you are called April Fool. Over the years many have died through such pranks that, they were pulled with expensive jokes. Joy FM has over the years been pulling pranks on their listeners, a year ago Joy FM carries away the news that, the host of the Cosmopolitan Mix show Doreen Andoh Queen of the airwaves after nineteen (19) years of dedicated service, the goddess of radio has existed the station and is heading towards a different field which most popular sites in the country including citifmonline.com spread the news which all ended up to be lies and an April fool indeed.
The sister station of Joy FM Adom106.3 FM which boast to be the best radio station in the country also in last three years pulled a prank that their star comedian Efo Gh (the Ewe man who has been cracking jobs with Jerry Justice on Offiekwanso) would be marrying on the 1 day of April and so therefore vehicles would be place at certain vantage points for the lovers of Efo Gh and Adom FM to help make the event a grand one. Somewhere last year when Mr. Blessed Godsbrain Smart known well as Captain Smart left Fox FM in Kumasi and joined the Accra based radio station Adom FM, when it got to the April fool day, Adom FM alarmed that the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has taken custody of Captain Smart for wrong allegations which almost made his mum go mad which she rushed all the way from Central Region to know the where about of her only child Blessed Godsbrain Smart turning out to all be in the name of April Fool. There have been survival attempts to quit the celebration of Fool day’s considering the illegality, April fool is a day of sending people on fool errands but not create tension panic and fear. What come may it is really fun to enjoy but whenever you fall a victim remember you are called an April Fool. Let celebrate such a wonderful but shocking day. Stay alert not to be an April Fool on the Fool’s day.

END OF ERA: NANA ABA ANAMOAH EXIST TV3

Ace TV Presenter Nana Aba Anamoah has exist the Kanda TV station TV3 weeks after theTwitter brouhaha. Nana Aba Anamoah the former host of the most watched show DIVA’s show was sent off air by her employers TV3 weeks ago after a prank which got everybody talking about her and calling her names. Mr. Augustus Dickson the Chief Executive Officer of TV3 network released a statement and this what he said “After preliminary investigations internally, and in accordance with TV3’s own commitment to the highest level of professionalism, Management has decided to take Nana Aba Anamoah off air until further notice.” Nana Aba Anamoah trended on twitter for at least two consecutive days but for the wrong reason. She received an avalanche of backlash for twitting an image that wasn't hers. People photoshopped her image and made fun of her on social media for her tweet. She later tweeted and apologised for her conduct: “My intention was not to steal someone’s pictures as mine. Absolutely not.” She followed with another: “Sorry to all who got offended by that joke. It was all meant to be an innocent prank.” Though apologetic, her employer thought her conduct could not go unpunished and suspended her. “As a broadcast network that prides itself in upholding high ethical standards and delivering credible and trustworthy content to its viewers, TV3 would like to assure viewers and other key stakeholders that it shall continue to take all necessary steps to maintain such standards,” the statement noted. “We expect guardians of our brand particularly employees who we entrust to deliver content on air to our viewers, to ascribe to the company’s values whatever they are.” After making an audacious move to Old Trafford and sharing pictures and videos from the stadium ostensibly to prove that she is capable paying for a ticket to watch a Manchester United match, the controversial show host returned to Ghana with thing in mind, to move on. She tendered in her resignation letter in the morning of Monday, November 2, 2015. She told a source she had been wanting to resign from the network for two years now but each time she makes the move, she is talked out of it. Last year, after making part-payment for her fees in preparation to go to school, she abandoned the plans after management of the station appealed to her to defer her plans. After the twitter row and subsequent suspension, she thought it is time to finally move on. Nana Aba Anamoah will be moving to another TV but not TV3 or Viasat 1 per my intelligent investigation due to some comment she made against Viasat 1 a year ago..
