Who Takes Care of the Spiritual Need of the Deaf and Dumb?
Letter to the one I love
with Paa Nii
Dearest Ekyaah
An incident which happened to me
last week sent me back to some
few years ago, when we used to
have a programme called MISSING
LINK on our television. If you could
remember, this programme taught
us, i.e. those of us with all our
senses how to communicate with
those with communication
impairment: deaf and dumb.

CPP, NDC, NPP
Who Wins the Next Elections?
Ballot Watch
By AC Ohene
THE QUESTION COULD sound
premature to many; especially the
uninitiated, though most political
animals would be excited to know
the winner for general elections
eighteen clear miles ahead. Those
who would consider the question
too early would definitely cite the
fact that all but one of the active
political parties are yet to select
their presidential candidates, who
are called flag bearers in this
country in view of the fact that
they symbolize their groups.

Friday Funerals are A Drain on the Economy. Change to Saturday!
View from outside the village
It beats my imagination why nobody has, as yet, thought it fit to complain about funerals being held on Fridays, particularly in the capital city, Accra. Funerals, in the manner we organize them, as you and I know full well, put a lot of strain and stress on us. But above all, funerals drain our pockets and take a lot of our time, time that otherwise could have been profitably used in any productive venture particularly on a working day.

Agric. Bank and Stanbic, Which of them is Bigger to Swallow the Other?
Views from out side the city
By Nana Adoo
There must be some uneasiness in
the banking sector lately in this
country. Many patriotic Ghanaians are
finding it very difficult to understand
why a small bank, at least in Ghana,
Standard Bank, also known as
Stanbic, only recently set up in
Ghana, may dream of swallowing a
much bigger bank, the Agricultural
Development Bank (ADB) through the
back door.

Let's Show Some Respect, Please!
Letter to the one I love
Paa Nii
Dear Ekyaah,
MY DEAREST QUEEN, I know by now
you have become very familiar with
the acronym NYEP. But to refresh
your memory, it stands for the
National Youth Employment
Pragramme and was introduced by
our dear president and the Elephant
party to find something for our
teeming youth to do.

Students Don't Run Universities
Views From Outside the Village
By Nana Adoo
It's rather strange that when
students transit from the
secondary level and enter tertiary
institutions, the whole landscape
changes and instead of remaining
the disciplined and co-operating
students that they were, they
rather put on empty airs and
demand to run the institutions to
which they initially applied to
study. It's funny, law students
spend one term in the lecture hall
and they think they have become
instant lawyers; students of English
read a text or two on Shakespeare
and anywhere they go they start
quoting him to impress their
listeners; students of sociology will
precede their comments at public
gatherings with, 'from the
sociological perspective...' and so
do psychology students who say,
'from the psychological point of
view... ' etc., etc.

Effective Campaign Decides!
Ballot Watch
By A.C. Ohene
GHNA’S POLITICS needs to pilot on
an axis of delivery and
accomplishment rather than on the
creaking axis of class versus class,
tribe versus tribe and ideology versus
ideology. Ideology and exclusivity, I
dare say, should go out and
pragmatism and inclusiveness should
come in to take full control.

How Much is Your Pay Packet?
Views from outside the village
By Nana Adoo
It’s funny when it comes to
salaries, everybody wants to keep
his or her earnings to himself or
herself. Even in the domestic
setting m Ghana, a wife doesn't
know the salary of her husband;
neither does the husband know the
income of his wife. But I presume
the women don't really bother
about the salaries of their
husbands provided they get their
house keeping money in full and
the other necessities for the home.
This shouldn't be the case really; a
wife should know how much her
husband earns so that if his
lifestyle becomes suspicious and
openly opulent she may bring him
to book by advising him to stop
any fraudulent practices he may be
indulging in at his work place. (We
have heard a lot of these
fraudulent practices in the media
lately).

Porters Exhibit Cultural Prowess At Tema Station
Letter to the one I love
with Paa Nii
Dearest Ekyaah,
The time was around eight in the
evening and the venue was the
Tema Station at Accra. The sky
was also quite clear, as it was a full
moon day, providing such a
conducive atmosphere for what
was to unfold before my very eyes
on this fateful evening. I was then
returning from one of my nocturnal
expeditions. From afar, one could
hear the thumping of feet on the
ground, the clapping of hands and
the clattering of pans and other
metallic objects, all sounding
harmonious to the ear.
