To Publisher: As Ghana enters
the new phase of her political development
I am appealing to you all
your contributing editors,, writers, all over the world
and all Ghanaians to come together as one people united
by our common destiny to reconstruct and develop one
nation for one people, indivisible, whose destiny is to
lead Africa to a union that will bring about wealth and
prosperity for all Africans.
It saddens me to always see
Ghanaians residing in other peoples countries, enjoying
the sweat and the hard work of citizens of those
Countries that are today experiencing advanced
life-style due to their hard work while we as Africans
love to stay there and wash our dirty linen in foreign
public. With the Maturity of the Ghanaian Electorate, a
powerful message have been send to all politicians that
if we give you mandate to rule us and you fail to
respect us and honor your promises, made to us during
your campaign, we will send you packing-- to go on your
way--one direction to political oblivion--We are not to
be taken for granted with political platitudes and
campaign bribery of few Ghana Cedis' with the intention
of buying our votes.
No Ghanaian Politician is
exempt. No Party can control the electorate, We want
development whether you are Rawlings, Kuffour, Akuffo
Addo or Atta Mills, if you fails to fulfill the
developmental needs of our people, we will vote you out.
So let all the Journalists be aware of the new Ghanaian
mentality It is not based on Party affiliation or ethnic
loyalties, We only wants those who will deliver. if ATTA
MILLS FAILS US COME 2012, WE WILL VOTE HIM AND HIS PARTY
OUT, AND ANY PARTY WHO CAN DELIVER THE GOODS, GHANAIANS
WILL VOTE FOR THAT PARTY.
Be it known to all and
sundry that this is the new ideology in Ghana, We do not
want dictators nor Property grabbing Democrats, we want
Selfless, Dedicated, Devoted New Ghanaian Politician,
who puts the Nation first, before Family, Who is
committed to all Ghanaians and is willing to sacrifice
all personal ambition and self-aggrandizement for the
benefit of all Ghanaians. This is the message we want to
hear from the Journalists, We want them to be the voice
of the people, not to impose their opinions through the
media on Ghanaians.
We are looking for
Dedicated Young Statesmen committed to Mother Ghana and
we will finance them, groom them to lead Ghana and
Africa to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. We
do not want Politicians who think the Road to Prosperity
is through the ballot box. We do not also want those who
for the love of money, wants political power to protect
their drug money, be they members of NDC or NPP or any
other Party for that matter. Ghana is Sacred and those
who wants to serve mother Ghana from now on must examine
their head well before taking the decision to enter into
Ghana's Political Arena. We the Traditional Rulers will
not be sitting on the fences to watch the destruction of
our people.
With the help of the Most
High God KING of Kings and LORD of Lords we will help
Africa to overcome its spiritual, socio-economic and
moral decadence that have thwarted our development for
Centuries--The Richest Piece of Real Estate in the World
with the Poorest Owners. Impossible.
So ghanadot.com go forth and
preach the word. and this is the preaching I am
expecting from my good old friend Kofi Akosa Sarpong.
Kofi use the mighty pen constructively for mother
Africa.

Why I am a Christian
The churches attack secular
liberalism as a threat to their power, but actually it's the
ally of true Christian culture
Theo Hobson, Guardian, UK, March
24, 2008
So my attraction to Christianity
is two-fold. It comes from the sense that without faith
there is despair, that the highest form of psychology is
faith-based. And it is rooted in the quasi-socialist ideal
of the Kingdom of God. Christianity is the true idiom of
social hope - and also of psychological realism. It teaches
us to hope for a new world, a healed world, and it teaches
us to suspect ourselves. We are subject to endless demonic
temptation, but we know that Satan is defeated by Christ.
This is what we celebrate at Easter, of course: Christ's
cosmic victory over evil and death. Some will dismiss this
as mere myth, with no basis in reality. I call it the true
myth, in which one can choose to root one's life.......
Theo Hobson was born in West
London. He studied English literature at York, then theology
at Cambridge. He did his PhD thesis on Protestant theology
and rhetoric; which became his first book - The Rhetorical
Word: Protestant Theology and the Rhetoric of Authority (Ashgate
2002).
