OVERLOOKED BUT HARMFUL

                       One of the most popular sermon preached by most Ghanaians is “ Do not drink and drive”. It’s kinda obvious that many institutions have in their own way brought out the disadvantages of drunken-and also fought for its limitation through their adverts on various media platforms and other means. But I think there is one thing which has to be taken into consideration. The selling of alcohol at lorry parks is one factor which needs to be tackled in helping to curb drunken-driving attitude of drivers.
                       Many institutions and agencies have tried their possible best to help fight for the ban on the sale of alcohol in various lorry stations across regions in Ghana. In ‘Sale of
Alcohol at lorry parks’ an article published by the Ghana News Agency, it’s clearly obvious that there are a number of drinking spots in Accra being the hub with vehicles arriving from all parts of the country has the largest number of bars at lorry stations. The GNA\'s nationwide survey found out that the Neoplan Station in Accra, which sees over 400 vehicles a day leaving or arriving in the capital, has nine drinking spots. Drinking spots were located at strategic points of the Adenta Lorry Station in Accra, the survey revealed. Mr Kojo Akorful, Assemblyman of the area said there were 25 drinking spots at the transport terminal. 
                        Metropolitan Assemblies and Ghana Private Road and Transport Union(GPRTU) working together would help limit the presence of drinking spots in lorry parks. I think drivers should also be urged to avoid the habit of drunken-driving to prevent car accidents. Let’s play our part as the public to help curb drunken-driving.

GOD BLESS OUR MOTHERLAND GHANA

    True..Very True.

    It is common knowledge that drinking and driving is a crime with a serious penalties. It is also common knowledge that it is very dangerous to get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you are under the influence of alcohol. yet many fatalities are caused by drunk driving . And yet the number of drinking spots near lorry stations keep increasing..very serious.. Overlooked But very very Harmful.
    i think Law enforcement has to work and also there should be more adverts on effects of drunk driving instead of advertising that much on alcohol..especially near lorry stations.

WE ARE ALL ONE

                Dozens of questions run through my mind anytime I think about the realities of life but I get no answers. We now live in a world where colored paper talks and humanity listens. It sings and humanity dances. Humans exchange their fellow humans for colored papers. Elderly ones are treated like toddlers just because they are unfortunate to have the colored paper as their friend. One may ask, what the colored paper stands for? Simply MONEY!!!                  The power of money in contemporary times is really outrageous. Go to the church, tidy up the premises before every worship and be amongst the poor and see how you would be treated in comparison to the rich who gives millions of money to the church. It’s clearly obvious that the RICH is always treated differently no matter the influence of the poor in the society. The rich treats the poor like they are lower class humans.    ...

ENOUGH CRITICISMS!!!

                    Legalize it , don’t criticize it!!!                     Legalize it because I will use it!!!                  Many assertions have been made against Marijuana but I think it’s about time we analyze such issues from the other side.  Marijuana is a very prominent and controversial issue in society today. Although many slanderous claims have been made about cannabis in recent history, the truths are slowly starting to resurface. These perception are subjective because I think it’s benefits must also be talked about.               One of the biggest positive impacts that the legalization of marijuana would produce is the reintegration of hemp into our society, and more importantly in current times, our economy. Hemp is a plant that is grown for industrial use only; in fact, he...
