Education: The Pillar of Progress and Ghana’s Unmet Potential
Education stands as the bedrock of societal advancement, a catalyst for economic growth, and a cornerstone of human development. Nations that prioritize robust educational systems often witness transformative infrastructural and societal progress, while those that neglect it grapple with stagnation. Ghana, like many developing countries, faces a critical paradox: its education system, designed to empower […]
Beyond Gossip: The Purpose of Speaking About Others
A common adage suggests that asking for directions prevents one from becoming lost. This idea prompts me to reflect on whether any individual—past or present—has ever existed who refrains entirely from discussing others. The question persists in my mind: Is it possible for humans, as social beings, to avoid speaking of others altogether? Even religious […]
The Burden of Forgotten Purpose
It’s disheartening when those entrusted with leadership lose sight of their purpose. Public office is meant to be a platform for service—to uplift, listen, and act in the best interest of the people. Yet too often, power warps priorities. Instead of humility, there’s arrogance; instead of collaboration, intimidation. Advice is ignored until plans crumble, and […]
Protect Your Peace: Rising Above Life’s Chaos with Calm and Choice
By: Dorothy Adablah Life is unpredictable. Some days, everything flows smoothly. On other days, nothing goes your way. People disappoint you, plans unravel, and obstacles emerge without warning.

A Key in the Dark
By: Dorothy Adablah I wanted to reach out because I know life hasn’t been easy lately, and it might feel like you’ve tried every option without seeing a way forward.

Consecrated Life in the Catholic Church
By: Mawuena The Catholic Church universally calls all its members to a life of holiness (LG 39). For Catholics, a life dedicated to God is not an extraordinary choice but a response to the Church’s call to obey the Gospel of Christ. Through baptismal consecration, every believer dies and rises with Christ, becoming a new […]
I shot the Sheriff, what about the Deputy
Bob Marley wasn’t just a musician; he was a prophet in his way, speaking truths that still hit home today. One of those truths? How society often overlooks the “deputies” in life—the assistants, the backups, the ones who seem to play second fiddle to the “sheriffs.” Think about it. In schools, principals usually get all […]
The Balance of Pride: Strength in Unity
Pride, believe it or not, isn’t always a bad thing. It’s all about how you show it off that determines if it’s a positive or negative force. Take, for example, the Black Stars of Ghana gearing up for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The head coach encouraged the players to strut their stuff with pride. […]
The Blame Game: Unveiling Our Flawed Nature
It has been said that if you surround yourself with constant complainers, you’ll eventually become one yourself. This is all due to our flawed human nature, which has been tainted ever since sin entered the world through Adam and Eve. Instead of taking responsibility for their actions, they chose to shift blame onto each other […]
The Flames of Restoration
By: Don Snipper The human experience is a tapestry woven with threads of both brilliance and imperfection. For light to be useful darkness must be in existence, for goodness and perfection to be in existence there should be worst moments and imperfections in play. These traits are humble beginnings that cushion us to greatness and […]
