Why I Won't Vote Come Election 2016!

I won't vote, I have no political anti-establishment, I am not anarchist. Just that I see no reason to vote. I am aware of article 42 of the constitution of the Republic of Ghana which empower every citizen age 18 and above with sound mind the right to vote.

A vote a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands.

I am a pure liberal and the following reasons motivated me to state vehemently

 'I won't vote come election 2016'

Just and have a clear peace of mind.

 As a Blogger and a Radio Presenter there are functions of people who read my post and listen to my programs, people from all sorts of environs, I have no idea of. Over the few years what i have come to realize is, the political landscape is divided into two. Either NPP or NDC. Partaking in elections is like endorsing the candidature of a presidential hopeful. One may raise the argument but no one would see who 

I vote for? Yes,  but remember our conscience always do judge us.

I wouldn't like to be blacklist as my colleagues have faced over the years. I just want to have a clear peace of  mind to work and tackle issues as i have done before , to hit the nail on the head i mean.

  Till now am not convinced by any political party, their manifestoes, aims for this year's election. All i hear from the ruling party is "maintain us and we shall continue to transform Ghana and change your lives" and chanting "JMToaso", "Onaapo". Whiles the opposition parties booms riddance the ruling party else Ghana will go doom. And campaigning everywhere on the street "Change Is Coming", "Mahama Is Incompetence" I guess they think we are doing choral checks abi? Lol

The President actually doesn't affect anything directly in my life. Does he?

Probably No, he doesn't ! If taxes are raised I'll pay more money, if regulations are put on how businesses hire, if prices of fuel are increased. I will buy. When even I don't even vote.

So you see the President doesn't  actually affect anything  directly in my life, But for every action, as we learned from Newton in High School, there is equal and opposite reaction. Every government creates opportunities. The past presidents have paid their dues and also cause the woes we face.

I have this school of thought that whatever conditions are, if I focus on the good then I will get opportunity. All I need least is to sit, stand and lie down, so far no president has prevented me from first John of the fourth Republic to the fourth John of the foirth Republic. Why should i waste my precious time standing in a queue to vote?

Voting won't make any difference. We have believed over the years that, casting our votes brings the visionaire leaders into power and again the voice of the people is the voice of the God, but the bitter fact is, its a complete lie. Research conducted by myself has shown clearly that all the changes we do by voting has rather sent as to hell.

Nobody tells the truth. They are all liars just deceiving us to win power. I recall vividly how the NDC were promising 'Heaven on Earth' during election 2008 to the extent of promising to be putting money in our poc and to reduce the prices of fuel drastically if elected into power. Where are all these promises? The NPP at the other hand are playing the role of Angelica Aldama in the soap opera Marimar, pretending to care about the normal Ghanaian making allegations upon allegations. Wait did they promise One village One Dam? Do they know what a Dam is? Also the NDC promising to pay Cocoa farmers using Mobile Money? Funny politicians

Concluding, the factors above fueled my decision not to vote come December 7th. I have a point right?

Malcolm X's wish what Ghana needs to adopt - Editorial

Malcolm X

Dedicated to all politicians

I have been inspired over the years by great men who demanded  for themselves the best and history  of the blacks wouldn't ever be complete without citing them. Malcolm X is one of them, at every point in time he proved beyond reasonable doubt his abilities and potentials. Do you know Malcolm X ? 

A brief about him

Malcolm X, born on May 19,1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. Christened Malcolm Little

and later also known as el-Hajj

Malik el-Shabazz, was an

African-American Muslim

minister and human rights activist. His

mother, Louise Norton Little, was a

homemaker occupied with the family’s

eight children. His father, Earl Little, was

an outspoken Baptist minister and avid

supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. 

Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, At a speaking engagement in the

Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom three gunmen rushed

Malcolm onstage. They shot him 15 times

at close range. The 39-year-old was

pronounced dead on arrival at New

York’s Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

On the 23 January, 1965 barely one month before he was assassinated, Malcolm read a mind blowing speech at the Michigan State University, East Lansing. 

Malcolm described the difference between

the "house Negro" and the "field Negro."

"So you have two types of Negro. The old type and

the new type. Most of you know the old type. When

you read about him in history during slavery he

was called "Uncle Tom." He was the house Negro.

And during slavery you had two Negroes. You had

the house Negro and the field Negro.

The house Negro usually lived close to his master.

He dressed like his master. He wore his master's

second-hand clothes. He ate food that his master

left on the table. And he lived in his master's

house--probably in the basement or the attic--but

he still lived in the master's house.

So whenever that house Negro identified himself,

he always identified himself in the same sense that

his master identified himself. When his master

said, "We have good food," the house Negro would

say, "Yes, we have plenty of good food." "We" have

plenty of good food. When the master said that "we

have a fine home here," the house Negro said,

"Yes, we have a fine home here." When the master

would be sick, the house Negro identified himself

so much with his master he'd say, "What's the

matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his

pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be

sick than for him to be sick himself. When the

house started burning down, that type of Negro

would fight harder to put the master's house out

than the master himself would.

But then you had another Negro out in the field.

The house Negro was in the minority. The

masses--the field Negroes were the masses. They

were in the majority. When the master got sick,

they prayed that he'd die. [Laughter] If his house

caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come

along and fan the breeze.

If someone came to the house Negro and said,

"Let's go, let's separate," naturally that Uncle Tom

would say, "Go where? What could I do without

boss? Where would I live? How would I dress?

Who would look out for me?" That's the house

Negro. But if you went to the field Negro and said,

"Let's go, let's separate," he wouldn't even ask

you where or how. He'd say, "Yes, let's go." And

that one ended right there.

So now you have a twentieth-century-type of

house Negro. A twentieth-century Uncle Tom. He's

just as much an Uncle Tom today as Uncle Tom

was 100 and 200 years ago. Only he's a modern

Uncle Tom. That Uncle Tom wore a handkerchief

around his head. This Uncle Tom wears a top hat.

He's sharp. He dresses just like you do. He speaks

the same phraseology, the same language. He tries

to speak it better than you do. He speaks with the

same accents, same diction. And when you say,

"your army," he says, "our army." He hasn't got

anybody to defend him, but anytime you say "we"

he says "we." "Our president," "our government,"

"our Senate," "our congressmen," "our this and

our that." And he hasn't even got a seat in that

"our" even at the end of the line. So this is the

twentieth-century Negro. Whenever you say "you,"

the personal pronoun in the singular or in the

plural, he uses it right along with you. When you

say you're in trouble, he says, "Yes, we're in

trouble."

But there's another kind of Black man on the

scene. If you say you're in trouble, he says, "Yes,

you're in trouble." [Laughter] He doesn't identify

himself with your plight whatsoever"

Fair enough Malcolm's time was in the 20 century and here we are in the 21st century still acting as such, behaving like the field negroes Aren't we one blood for God sake? 

The whites are fighting us and now ourselves. Issues of national interest are now attend to with political spectacles. Is about that time we change. I thought we are blocs. 

Our speeches need to be edited the 'I' must be 'we'  'mine' should be 'ours', we one country, different culture, same people one blood. Ghana at heart must be our priority not political views. The mere fact that Party A, is in power doesn't mean Party A should enjoy and party B suffering from hardship

Long live mother Ghana

Love live true patriot

UK vote to leave EU in a referendum !

The UK has voted to leave the European Union
after 43 years in a historic referendum.
Leave won by 52% to 48% with England and Wales
voting strongly for Brexit, while London, Scotland
and Northern Ireland backed staying in the EU.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage hailed it as the UK's
"independence day" but the Remain camp called it
a "catastrophe".
The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar
since 1985 as the markets reacted to the results.

The referendum turnout was 71.8% - with more
than 30 million people voting - the highest turnout
at a UK election since 1992.
Wales and the majority of England outside London
voted in large numbers for Brexit.
Labour's Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said
the Bank of England may have to intervene to
shore up the pound, which lost 3% within
moments of the first result showing a strong result
for Leave in Sunderland and fell as much as 6.5%
against the euro.
'Independence day'
UKIP leader Nigel Farage - who has campaigned
for the past 20 years for Britain to leave the EU -
told cheering supporters "this will be a victory for
ordinary people, for decent people".
Mr Farage - who predicted a Remain win at the
start of the night after polls suggested that would
happen - said Thursday 23 June would "go down
in history as our independence day".
He called on Prime Minister David Cameron, who
called the referendum but campaigned
passionately for a Remain vote, to quit
"immediately".
A Labour source said: "If we vote to leave,
Cameron should seriously consider his position."
But pro-Leave Conservatives including Boris
Johnson and Michael Gove have signed a letter to
Mr Cameron urging him to stay on whatever the
result.
Labour former Europe Minister Keith Vaz told the
BBC the British people had voted with their
"emotions" and rejected the advice of experts who
had warned about the economic impact of leaving
the EU.
He said the EU should call an emergency summit
to deal with the aftermath of the vote, which he
described as "catastrophic for our country, for the
rest of Europe and for the rest of the world".
Germany's foreign minister Frank Walter
Steinmeier describes the referendum result as as
"a sad day for Europe and Great Britain".
But Leave supporting Tory MP Liam Fox said
voters had shown great "courage" by deciding to
"change the course of history" for the UK and, he
hoped, the rest of Europe.
And he called for a "period of calm, a period of
reflection, to let it all sink in and to work through
what the actual technicalities are," insisting that Mr
Cameron must stay on as PM.
Exit process
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said
that the EU vote "makes clear that the people of
Scotland see their future as part of the European
Union" after all 32 local authority areas returned
majorities for Remain.
Analysis by Prof John Curtice
London has voted to stay in the EU by around 60%
to 40%.
However, no other region of England has voted in
favour of remaining.
The referendum has underlined the social and
cultural gap between London and provincial
England.
Remain's defeat seems to have been primarily the
product of the decisions made by voters living
north of the M4.
Throughout the Midlands and the North of England
the level of support for Remain was well below
what was required for it to win at least 50% of the
vote across the UK as a whole.
Britain would be the first country to leave the EU
since its formation - but a leave vote will not
immediately mean Britain ceases to be a member
of the 28-nation bloc.
That process could take a minimum of two years,
with Leave campaigners suggesting during the
referendum campaign that it should not be
completed until 2020 - the date of the next
scheduled general election.
The prime minister will have to decide when to
trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would
give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal.
Once Article 50 has been triggered a country can
not rejoin without the consent of all member
states.
Mr Cameron has previously said he would trigger
Article 50 as soon as possible after a leave vote
but Boris Johnson and Michael Gove who led the
campaign to get Britain out of the EU have said he
should not rush into it.
But they also said they want to make immediate
changes before the UK actually leaves the EU, such
as curbing the power of EU judges and limiting the
free movement of workers, potentially in breach the
UK's treaty obligations.
The government will also have to negotiate its
future trading relationship with the EU and fix trade
deals with non-EU countries.
In Whitehall and Westminster, there will now begin
the massive task of unstitching the UK from more
than 40 years of EU law, deciding which directives
and regulations to keep, amend or ditch.
The Leave campaign argued during a bitter four-
month referendum campaign that the only way
Britain could "take back control" of its own affairs
would be to leave the EU.
Leave dismissed warnings from economists and
international bodies about the economic impact of
Brexit as "scaremongering" by a self-serving elite

WHEN DADDY CAN PRAY -Editoral

This piece came to my mail from a friend I have no idea  who the author is though but want to share with you

I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad's office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady.

He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling. We prayed together and trusted God for His leading. Dad did not say a word.

Two days after my wife said "Yes" to my proposal, I told both dad and mum as a birthday gift for him.

Mum smiled and said, "Months earlier when your father went to preach in the Corpers Fellowship,  he saw her and the Holy Spirit told him, "Isn't she the wife of your son?"I was the only unmarried son. He kept his fingers crossed till I told him. Yet he did not utter a word but he knew already.

I want to talk to men: You MUST be the priest of your home. Nothing must happen without your knowing. If your wife is the one waking you up for family devotion and setting the pace, something is wrong with you!

You must have charted the course of your children in prayer. Call them by name in prayer and prophecy over them. Bless your wife daily. Lay hands on her before you step out.

What makes a man is far beyond finance and romance- you must be a man of prayer! Nothing must happen in your home until you permit it (not by stubborn conducts but prayers).

Brother, if you are unmarried now and you are not learning to pray, you are living like a spiritual gambler saying "what will be will be"; you better wake up, smell the coffee. Stop sleeping like a log of wood. Wake up at night. Blast in tongues by the Spirit. Take on the Word and confess it. Do not leave your future home to chance. Marriage is not a ludo game.

Fathers and fathers to be, take your place. Build finance. Learn Romance but Exercise your Spirit and take your place.

Letter To My Future Wife 'The Real Me You Need To Know'

(An open letter by Bernard Ralph Adams)

Dear future wife, 

I cannot wait for that day - that frabjous day to say 'I do'  but before then, here is the real me you need to know. You may know me from a distance or in person but trust me you know nothing about me as the saying goes "People only sees what you allow them to know and see" No female friend knows of what am about to tell you.

Hmmm! It's quite a long miscellaneous but let me starting moving. I am maverick. I'm among the few guys who sees only the good side of everything. I don't value material things neither do I treasure them. I'm very controversial and defend every side I take, been it good or evil. I once remember during my late teenage I visited a friend who stays 30 minutes drive from where I reside. We spent time happily together since it been a while we heard from each other. We tete-a-tete, playing video games to discussing trending issues for almost three (3) hours before I realized everywhere was dark. I hurriedly told my friend (David) Man : I wan go huz 

He replied : Charlie don't mk dull just now?




I rushed and picked my bag and oya I left. God so good I got a cab upon reaching the near by junction. I stopped the car and sat in panting seriously because I knew my mom would be very worried. Half journey on the road I picked my wallet and paid the driver fifteen (15) minutes later I was at my destination. I alighted and went home only to see my mom worried just like I thought, I greeted and head toward my room. Feeling tired I relaxed on my bed for about ten (10) minutes, I waked up and started off loading the items in my bag only to find out I have lost Ghs50 I moved to the hall to check if I could find it on the study table but to no avail. I called my friend (David)  on phone and asked if I left the money at his side. But he said at the other end of the phone naa. Not knowing all this while whiles  i was searching for the money my Mom was sitting comfortably watching a Philippines soap opera 'Her mother's daughter'. She muttered Hollandsworth, have you lost something ? I replied yes.

she asked what  have I  lost I replied, my money.

she asked again what is the exact amount? I remember I kindly replied, Mom if I tell you the amount, you would end up worried and insult me saying I am careless and after all, you can't do anything about the past  I have life and can earn more. The only word my mom  gasped was I knew you wouldn't definitely tell me. Babe, l don't worry over what can do nothing about. Learn from my mom how she responded. Same may happen. That is who I am

  I am self motivated type of person. Despite all the stress I pull for being controversial I carry on my duties as I want to. Once upon a time I wrote an article about one of Ghana's celebrity. In the article I expressed myself how I see the personality without being bias. An hour later my inbox started flooding with insults, curses name them. I nearly lose focused. But I encouraged myself saying 'this is the work I do' and threatening and insults are some of the risks involved. One basic principle I always live with  is 'the power of the mind' (thinking manipulating the mind to get an answer)  I am not moved by what I see or hear. It's all centered on me pursuing life how I want it to be. I hardly understand how hurt one becomes because of how he thinks.

Not too friendly, shy a bit jealous. I am phlegmatic by temperament too inward and private but a bit melancholic. I hardly make new friends but keep the little I make. My name can never to left out through all the schools I attended when listing shy guys. I recall a certain girl (Josephine) would always ask, Ralph are you that shy? I always replies No, but hiding my face. Lol. This same instance happened early this year. My junior brother and I met a female friend. We conversed for about thirty (30) minutes. Later that day I was checking my WhatsApp messages and saw a message from the girl we meet. The message reads "Ralph are you that shy ? I texted back No am not shy just that I speak I don't talk (I have been asked hundreds time and I always give the same answer).

  I am one kind of person who loves so much with passion and does the vice versa. If you are lucky  I choose you. Is you I love and nobody else. I am jealous just like God told the Israelite in the Biblical days. I am not selfish I believe you need to reciprocate what I does.

Man after my words.

Beauty, if I promise I fulfill, no matter what it takes to fulfill as far as I said, i go by my promise. Just as King Herod who promised  with an oath Herodias daughter after she has danced to entertain his guest at his birthday party to give her whatever she ask, and when the little girl asked for John the Baptist head, he ordered to his execution to beheaded John the Baptist. As the King obeyed is an epitome of me. My yes means, YES, my no means, No.

  I am Catholic than the Pope himself I was born into a Christian family precisely Assemblies Of God Family. My Dad a Pastor. So imagine the life I live. I believe strongly that Jesus Christ is the son of God and our Saviour. I have adopted the Grace teachings as my life (you know the name and claim, once saved forever saved stuffs)



Hate comparison likes who l am and who you are. There is this story I read a year ago about how two lovers broke up due to how the lady wanted to be treated just like her friend's lover and lack of effective communication. Appreciation they say is the ladder to greatness. I like whatever I do and what you will do. This saying which always get me laughing 'love me, like my dog'

I don't work for money. I enjoy almost 99.9% what I do. Not for the monies, fame or girls. Because I want do it. From publishing inspirational messages to daily news writing. A man within the ages of 35 - 40 years asked me one day where did you learn how to do all what you does ? I don't understand how a young guy like you knows most things. I smiled and replied, I sleep late in the night  most times 1:00am  and wake up early as 4:00am and I always learn.

Sweetheart, I give away freely I am an open source advocate

   Regarding the food I like. Ermm! There is this worldly saying the way to a man's heart is through food that doesn't apply to me.

Among all the dishes prepared and served in Ghana I eat few of them. I only eat one food we get from Maize. I was told I use to eat but got to a time I fall ill whenever I eat so they stop feeding me with such foods. For two decade now rice is in the menu of my everyday food.

Beauty, Queen,  my princess I hope you have today known what you never knew about me. And we gonna be happy together in the near future.

From your lover,

Ralph
