Gala

Walking down from the GCB tower right down to the big station at circle one can notice the sale of Cd's and DVD movies. Being a movie freak and a lover of action movies, I drew near to one of these tables. To my uttermost surprise I noticed something. There was an open display of the CD with dozen names (PORNOGRAPHY).

It is very surprising to note that things which are considered bad in society are given dozen names. Take for example 'akpeteshie' or locally brewed liqour. It has many names or a dozen names. The names range from 'kill me quick' to 'don't mind your wife' to 'show me what you got' 'man power' plus a dozen others.

Seeing this, I asked myself if all was well in this country. I could not understand how come pornography can be freely displayed on our streets like they were goods. It showed how law enforcers have failed to meet up their task.

2014, another year

Another year is here again and we thank God for giving This year looks promising and innocent even though I think it is impregnated with all kinds of  stories, happenings and wahala, as usual. In light of all these, I have always had hope of a better year, 2014. People always ask why I have hope that this year will be better; My answer is always this, "I don't know but I have a feeling it will be." Last year was not really good for most of us, having witnessed so many accidents, armed robberies, corruption and so many ills of society. I am however encouraged that each year comes with changes and good tidings. 2014 has been declared by the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) as a year of Order. I pray to God that our lives will be ordered and in order. GOD bless this year 2014 and make things go well for us. Amen

Where is our Christmas?

Many things have gone by this year, some memorable, others hmmmmmm with nothing to write home about. We've seen lots of political activities this year especially with the NDC, the NPP, CPP and other political parties doing their own things. Two weeks ago, I passed by some place around Jamestown. I saw some dirty children playing in the mud and riding tin cars around. As I approached them, one asked: Do you think there will be Christmas this year?' The other who looked too busy said, 'I don't know. Lets ask this man' So they called me. Their call was so typical of an illiterate child. 'Bro... bro... do you think Christmas will come this year? I was surprised at the question and inquired why they asked. They bluntly told me looking at the politics and all the noise around they don't think this year there would be any Christmas for them. Listening to them, I remembered those good old days when our only consolation for happiness and and parties where we will che...

Converts drown during baptism

I was drawn to a funny but sad story on the internet. This happened at Kinshasa. I curled this story from the internet and it is as follows: A dozen followers of a revival church in Kinshasa drowned after they jumped into a river to be baptised, local media reported on Monday. "Curiously, several half-clothed followers never re-surfaced (after diving in). They died by drowning," Democratic Republic of Congo's Le Phare newspaper reported. The prophetess who was to perform the ceremony, Thetee Kalangangu, fled following the incident, the newspaper said, while irate residents appeared set to destroy the sect's quarters in a poor Kinshasa neighbourhood. A similar drowning-by-baptism incident occurred two years ago about 50km from the Congolese capital, according to Le Phare. - AFP Seeing this story on the web drew my attention to the way people behave during baptism. Maybe my church is different but how can you dive or jump into water when you haven't been ...
