THE SOLITUDE OF AN ASPIRANT ASSEMBLYWOMAN, CHARITY BOKO, MAFI- AGOE ELECTORAL AREA

“I know I can do it, but in our setting, it’s very difficult for a woman to dream of leading a community or any organization. But when the time comes, I approached a very few individuals that I sold my idea to, they were like, have you ever see a woman that participated in such a race, okay! Let’s give it a try and see what happens”.
This an excerpt  from the interview I hard with (Boko Charity) the former  Assembly Woman and an aspirant assembly woman for Agoe Electoral Area, Central Tongu District in the Volta Region of Ghana.
She was the assembly woman for Agoe Electoral Area whose tenure of office has ended this year and one of the only Two elected female assembly members for Central Tongu District Assembly. In all, Central Tongu district have only Three female assembly member where one is a government appointee.
Before she became the Assembly member, representing Agoe Electoral Area, she contested with Two men, one of them was a former assembly member for the same electoral area and the contest was keenly contested. For trust and believe the electorates have in her, they were behind her and she emerged the winner.
“Despite I won, I was surprised most women in the electoral area were rather against me, but it is time when there is no one to support the course of a woman, women themselves  come together and support themselves, she said”
Her work as an assembly member for the district and that of her electoral area was very instrumental; her input at the assembly and that of her electoral area was transformational. Her effort to strengthen the community and resource mobilization and strengthening the education in her electoral area is remarkable.
She was the Chairperson for Gender and Social Protection Seb Committee and an appointed member of EXECO,the highest decision making body of the Assembly,a position which helped her partner with the District Social Welfare Director in championing the course of Women and Children, every Wednesday on Dela Radio,a local radio station in the district .
  She was  also able to fall on organizations that helped her to supply a lot of library books to the schools in her electoral area. Because of her ability to lobby, she was able to get two hospital bed for the CHPs in her electoral area that is serving over 50 communities and the GetFund project that has stopped because of change of government  is about to be  completed.
She had several outreach programs for the electoral area, on health, resource mobilization, agriculture and entrepreneurship. These interventions have yielded a lot of results whereby a lot of drop outs has started apprenticeship, school enrolment has also increased and children are now  able to read books during leisure time. Her outreach programs have also help farmers within the  electoral area to  learn good farming practice which boosted the yield of their farm produce.
 Despite these monumental achievements, she is faced with several challenges that in one way or the other has hindered her ability to always be in contact with her electorates. Her electoral area is very wide and under developed. The roads that connect the electoral area to Mafi-Kumase Market where the electorate can at least sell their farm produce is very deplorable, this contributes  a lot to post-harvest lost and also makes delivery of other essential health services cumbersome.
In her quest to continue the good work that she has started, she is aspiring to be reelected as the assembly member for Agoe Electoral Area come 17th December, 2019. This race is one of the most difficult races in the history of Central Tongu District assembly Elections because, she is the only female aspirant in the entire district that is contesting among three strong male. It’s going to be a very difficult one because, the support that her fellow contestants are getting is very great compare to what she is getting.
Despite all these, she has also embarked on several activities that is geared towards sensitization of the electorate, youth, and women on the need to participate in the upcoming district assembly election. And among other things, she is poised to conduct eye and breast screening, community education on good farming practices and the importance of  acquiring entrepreneurial skills. This program is schedule to take off on the 6th of  December, 2019 which is farmers’ day celebration. The day will be graced by other fun activities such as ampe competition, sack race, spoon race, and football match between all the communities that form the electoral area.
“I have good plan for my electorates, I can do many things if I can have the same support as my other contestants have, even this program that I am embarking on, involves a lot of financial resources, and if I can get any support, my people will always be happy  they have a woman that is representing their interest.”
She is then calling on the general public for any kind of support to help implement her program successfully and to be reelected for the second term as the assembly member for Agoe Electoral Area.
“I will appreciate everyone, every little thing to this course will be highly appreciated because it will push me high, and God will bless you all’.

IT’S A MANDATE AND I HAVE TO DO IT

Let me introduce you to Pastor Maclean Dogbey, Minister-In-Charge of Faith Baptist Church in MAfi-Zongo in the Central Tongu District, Volta Region of Ghana. He is also the minister-In-Charge of Faith Baptist Child Development Center, a partner project of Compassion International Ghana.

He is a very young pastor who to me is very exceptional when it comes to dealing with child development issues as well as his involvement in the children’s ministry. His involvement and his desire to make things happens has compelled me to get closer to him and ask several questions.

His reply was,” I love children and God love children, God loves me and I must love what God loves”, he said when we do something for children, we are doing it to God and He will be pleased, so he must teach the children about God so that when they grow, they will know God, love Him and tell people about God so that this children will have favor with God and of men. ‘they will know, God did not just send Jesus to come and take our sins for nothing, but also fulfilling the great commission and this is what I am call for and I am doing it’

He has the time to visit the children ministry, teach them and make sure he also preaches at the adult section. He said, if I didn’t meet them one Sunday, is like I am refusing to do the work I am ask to do’

The most suprising of all is, he do home visit on some of the disadvantage children to encourage their parents on the health and education needs of their children. Like that is not all, he went to a village in the locality which is a little distant from Mafi-Zongo called, Mafi-AdiekpeKorfedeke, in this village we have about 300 hundred inhabitants including adults and children. There is no education facility in the community whereby children walk about two miles before coming to school every day. That means throug from Monday to Friday; children have to walk through and fro to access education. He said, his visit to the community has made him to understand that, unless the children are twelve years they cannot go to school because walking up and down will be a difficult thing for them. He further stated that, most of the children that are female could not make it further because some of them becomes school drop outs due to teenage pregnancy; some also refuse to go to school because most of their developmental stages were spent on farm for that matter they have the desire to go into farming rather than going to school.

He says, “look at this children do you think they can walk the distance that we have just covered for a whole week? Education is good but some are suffering to have access to it. This people don’t have light no water source, no school that means they lack everything and are living in poverty. Thank God you come here in dry season if not you would have removed you sandals and trouser before you can access this community, during raining season, those who can walk to the school are separated apart because considering their age, it’s very risky to allow them to cross daily. This can even take a whole three months making an academic term”

“So after I visited this place I quickly organize my church elders and we put ourselves together and this gave birth to this school here.”

He, his entire church elders have organized some resource and with the help of the community members to put up a school. He goes to the school to teach these children every day. During dry season, he goes to the school with commercial motorbike but during the raining season, he must walk to the community to teach, this he said, is what he is mandated to do.

He also said some of the parents did not see the need to provide school learning materials for the beneficiaries so he provides to them exercise books, pencils, erasers, rules and even the school uniform that they are wearing.

During our interactions, he said he will be doing this just to prepare them so that they will be fit to go to the next school when they are old. Or he will be very happy if government of civil society organization comes in to provide basic amenities to these people so that their plight will be thing of the past. One of the school beneficiaries said,”she is very happy to start school early than most of his brother and sisters and by God’s will she will be great and help solve his community problem”

He said I deeply develop this passion and sacrifice because of his involvement with Compassion International Ghana and God bless them for coming into the rescue of the vulnerable children in the community in which he lives.

WE NEED TO SURVIVE UNDER EVERY VAMPIRE

*WE NEED TO SURVIVE UNDER EVERY VAMPIRE*


The hell the Bible talks about is real and I know we have only one hell.

I see an artificial hell that is already hovering around us. This artificial hell is not the biblical hell that awaits evil doers. This hell is intentionally  and
unintentionally designed by our vampires that we hail, praise and elect with our electioneering power to lead us and make things better for us. The hell they designed for us will be enjoyed by both good doers and bad doers. What it means is that, those who will be unfortunate to be bad doers will enjoy hell two times; thus the one created by our vampires and the natural one that is already eminent.

I called these leaders vampires because they promise heaven and after we have toiled and elect them, what they offer is to suck our blood and give us hardship instead.

When these vampires need our votes they eat, sit on the same seat with us,  mingle with us, give us hand shake and instantly pick roasted maize from our dirty bowls and put in their mouth without thinking about the health implications.

Yes,  we have all struggle and the result is declared by the EC. And know, you Mr President and that makes the difference. Authority and power is set in.

It's amazing our wails even started the day the vampires took their oath into office.

Our wails are getting dim because much energy is lost and we can do nothing no longer because we have given them what they need and that separates our fraternal living.

I have seen the struggle of several workers under several political administration and comparatively to this current administration, we are living in a hell.

They work hard but cannot support their family. They put in more efforts but are still living in penury. We toil day and night but there is no water to quench our thirst because where we are now is nothing but hell and it's attributed to a these blood sucking leaders who can put their unemployed daughters in a ministry after having a political power.


This appointment I called, *political cronism* a situation where you can only work in my administration when we are related not on your competence. This is a situation where I can do anything with my power so that the masses will suffer and we the cronies will enjoy.

A situation whereby my children can afford better education and good health abroad and I, a Vampire can introduce an educational policy which will be detrimental to the future of the masses but I don't care much because I want them to leave in hell.

The hardship we leave in is funny. When we talk about corruption, we preach about corruption and we turn around and sow corruption, isn't it a joke?  A situation whereby a president can give his executive approval to a fraudulent deal, isn't it a joke?

And after signing such deal,  you will turn around and say *I was misled*, this alone shown your incompetence.  Even I have a little pardon for you because, the document that you signed might be voluminous and as such you are lazy to go through and eventually signed because you believed in him. But I want to tell you that, this is a vampire act and need to be condemned or better still you can go ahead and create another ministry who will be reading contracts or any legally binding agreement on us.  I am saying this because,  I know you are an old man and for the boys to get some job, this might be of help.

We are living in hell because, your administrative structure is very weak. "When the foundations are broken, what can the righteous do"? The very day you plagiarised, the very day I see darkness and hell around us. The very day there was a VISA fraud during the Olympics game and you cleared them of no wrong doing, that very day I see hell hovering over Ghanaians, the very day you clear the sit for cash issue, the same day I smell corruption like a wild Lilly around your administration.

When a president and his vice and Minsters are in the Pocket of an individual, what it means is that, until that president is out,  wrong doing will be the music of the day and as such you are such a person who has no moral right to talk about corruption. He cannot not even see anything wrong because he is in the pocket and cannot see anything at all.

Mr vampire you have created an artificial hell in our country and we are aware of it. Note everything under the sun, there is a season. Your reign will not be forever, don't come and destroy the country because of your  ambition just to rule and be part of our history. We are judging you now and will not allow any posterity to judge you because wrong is going on in your own chamber.

It's good for you and any other person who is willing to be a president to be very careful about what you say and what you practice, because your words and did will follow you.

"SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK UP"

THE SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK UP

She will dumped you because she realized that you have never displayed her picture on your whats App profile, status, Instagram, tweeter and you did not write "I love Posiet" for the whole world to know that you are dating or married.

Is she thinking been loved and care for is all about social media picture display? 

Is she thinking displaying her picture here and there is a tool for a successful relationship?

Is she thinking the more your picture is displayed make a partner faithful?

Edefu lo! The social media break up is very amazing and sweet. you will do all what it takes for you to win a ladies heart and she breaks up with you just on social.

She will not be involved in you conversations any more, nor pick your calls. you will only realize that there is a break up between you and her just on her WhatsApp status saying, "a guy who cannot use your picture as his dp or status is not a guy to marry or date".

This tells you that the relationship ends at social media. This what i called 'The Social Media Break".

What are you bothered about my brother?

Why are crying and having a sleepiness night?

Do you think she worth that tears?

I will not even message you or call again because you don't even deserve me.

My grandparents were still together before i was and they ere together till they were taken by death when i was twenty. This grandparents don't even know what is social media and i thought even if someone know them far away from their community. Their relationship lasted over 50 years.

Ladies, know that, we can still display your picture everywhere but the relationship will not last or we will not be faithful to you. Know also that we can still display your picture and do what we want to do. Think about what you want to achieve in the relationship rather than displaying your picture as means for which you think you are been loved.

Your picture is not and anchor for long and successful relationship. Social Media Break up is becoming and unbecoming. 

I have spoken, take it or leave it.

Amewo se veve!!!!

THE DYING VOICE OF A HERO

Some years back you were the Messiah and several praises, names and laurels were on your shoulder like a boxer who had won a fight. Your name is the fragrance of wild lilies in our homes, street, workplaces, Schools, hospitals, television, radios, in the market and even on matrimonial rooms. Your complexion has separated families and marriages because of the perspective of individuals trying to marry themselves with you. You have with you a shade that is seen as a refuge that can take them from their discomfort in times of rain and sunshine. You are a hero. When you speak, your comrades put their hands togehter in an admiration of all the qualities endowed you. Your antagonists, can only smell and understand the the sweetness attached to victory and to become a hero.

You are hero, but you will never be a hero forever. Someone is seriously training just to become like you, have all what you have, and do more than what you are doing. Such a person is your antagonist.

Your voice which could be heard from millions of miles away is dying slowly. Even when you speak now, only your firsthand man can hear you. People arround you only sing the praises of the past glories and refuse to tell you to prepare for the future.

Your voice that you think will last forever is dying and will continue to die even beyound 2020 if your antagonist who is now your protagonist is well talked to and well managed.
"Until the rotten tooth is pulled out, the mouth must chewed with caustion". I am telling you nobody is hearing you speak because your voice is dying. Don't you have people around you? Do you know that many have waisted their time, resources and energy just to make you a hero? because your, name, complexion and demeanor has cast a spell on them and they are transfixed and cannot move away from you?

Do you know, they are your victim of love? I mean, do you know that they can do anything just to protect you forever?

If your subordinates are doing all these, then why are you giving them such a maltreatment?

You see! You have just lost your tittle to another person?

Your 2016 edition of your fight has turned everyone into unconsciousness especially those who thought they are "in a comfortable lead"

Those that loved you so much and you give them not a damb ear, were not suprised about the outcome because they have refused to do the traditional thing, singing, drumming, chanting and even giving you their thumb. This is what has brought you down and your lound voice that travels across the continent and the world can only be heard in you room. I think you are now happy.

I weeped not because i am sad. I weeped becuase you are sad for giving that huge tittle to someone else. I think you can now understand how sweet victory is.

Do you know you are very intelligent. I was told you sent some committee on fact finding mission to unearth the cause of your defeat. That is very brilliant and must be recommended to all losers in any compitions.

I want an answer from you, were you able to give them terms of reference in their fact finding mission?

It sadden my heart that you did not have the slightest idear that, your lost is has come because of people around you and those that represents you in regions, districts, constituencies, towns and villages.

I am sadden because, the committee has fallen on the wrong people who refused to champion your policies and programs to the people.

 These people who refused to campaign and sell you the electorate, whose attitudes has cost the electorate to have no interest in your big name and complexion were the same people the committee has spoken to.
Will it be possible for those regional and constituency executives to tell the reason why my uncle, parents and some relatives choose to go to farm on voting day instead going to vote?

 Will it be possible for them to tell you that, they are the cause of your downfall?

It is not possible. Even you could take this from their attitude during that day when all indicators are showing that you will not be our hero again, they will come out and say "we are in a comfortable lead"

 Are you aware that, after our primaries some constituencies don't use some of the executives even for constituency meeting because they were known to belong to the other camp? I even doubt whether some constituencies are having minute of meetings after the primary. So if a family is of  this format what do expect apart from lost?

Even as we are in opposition now, some of these people are not learning to know that, it is painful to be in opposition.

What they do is to make roll call of individuals that are not in the party.

Some of them just want to be closer to the MP, and doing so, will sit down and say something about you to him, that in reality you cannot fathom the source of their information.

If you belong to a family who can say alot about you that are not factual how can that family be united and fight for victory?

How can a family member call a friend and tell him he is going to sabotage "me" because, he was told i had meetings with some people in some communities. How can a party member be prepared just to spoil someone's work ?

Master, let me remind you that, i will survive and make a meaningful life and impacts on people that need my services without politics and there is no need for you to tarnished me just to get the recognition you want.

I am happy you have seen me as a threat and have time to discuss me on your platforms and making schemes on how to destroy, but forgetting that you are in opposition and have to fight for victory in 2020.

If this is what you are up to, then your hierarchy must prepared to be at the other side even beyond 2028.

U want someone to tell the committee, their work is incomplete. If they want to do a good work, then their findings should be the voice if the masses but not the executives.

If they want their credibility to be trusted, they should go beyond the hotel findings and go to the people in the community to talk to them.

Even if it is because of the bossy thing, then they should recruit research assistant who could help you at the community level.

To you the self claim loyals of the umbrella family in Central Tongu, behave like party loyals and stop fabricating story about people that did not even have time for such politics.

Please kindly involve all your constituency executives in working for the success of the party so that at least, the party can have minute of your meetings.

And you Mr. Man, i am not lazy as you and never think i am working for your party. I am working in God's vein yard, He secured my work for me 24/7 just to release the most disadvantaged, the vulnerable, the neediest of the needy from poverty in Jesus, name and as that, you have no role to play to bring me down.
Your


Bad men will not see the glory of God.

FAITH BAPTIST CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER LAUNCHES CHILD SURVIVAL PROGRAM

Faith Baptist Church of Mafi-Zongo supports 289 children ranging from 3-14 years of Age. The church has a child development center known as Faith Baptist Child Development Center which is an extension of the church's sunday school.

The Church partner with Compassion International Ghana, a Non Government Organization, It is a Christian none profit making Organization who want to Release Children from poverty in Jesus' name.
 It is against this mission of Compassion International Ghana, that propel the church to partner with her and expand their sunday school to the vulnerable, the lost child and the neediest of the needy.

As part of their program, Faith Baptist Child Development Center has come into being in 2012 and had several interventions for beneficiary children across all the neighboring communities like Seva, Adiekpe, Korfedeke, Manase, Amarika, Kpedzeglo, Mawoekpoe and Adape.

"We want to release these children from poverty, that is why we see each individual as a project. Considering a child as a project will help you to strategically tackle issues that needed to be addressed so that, a child will grow and become a fulfilled Christian Adult. Anytime Faith Baptist Child Development Center speaks, you will hear Holistic Child Development, this is what we are for and this is our common language " Pastor Maclean Dogbey said.

At the launch of the intervention, the guest speaker said research has shown that pregnant women go through alot before giving birth. And as matter of fact some of them give up the ghost because been not having enough blood, not generating enough blood by eating balance food, have no health facility to attend or there is no money to take care of themselves and the unborn baby.

Due to the factors enumerated above, some the mothers or the infants passes on while delivering or dye after they been delivered. Even at times those that were delivered may have some deficiencies. Some of this deficiencies may be malnutrition and brain malfunctioning.

"For us to solve and developed these children holistically(Cognitive, Spiritual, Physical and Socio-Emotional), why can't hold the bull by the horn or tackle the issues from the root by supporting the caregiver who is pregnant? We want to do what we can do so that we have one voice raising these children and among other things bring the children and their caregivers ir mothers to know God, Love God and Worship God, Mr JahRule Jackson Gozzah the Project Director said.

Alot of several activities were carried out during the launch such as a display of drama by the older beneficiaries, choreography, exhibitions of art and craft, project band and display of sandals and shoe made by the project leatherwork.

Beneficiaries craft work
"This is what we doing, this is what we will do. We want to follow the foot step of Jesus so that all this children will grow in wisdom, grow physically, have favour with God and have favour with me.


When this Jesus baseline is well implemented, we will have a generation that will bear good fruit. We will sacrifice our lives,we will protect them against abuse and torture, said Kudemor Ernest Posy, the Social Worker of the project.

The Partnership Facilitator's Supervisor Pat Dotse, from the CIGH office in her key note address acknowledges the hard work of the Church Partner Committee, the Pastor, the Child Development Workers, the caregives executive, the caregivers and opinion leaders for supporting and maintaining peace for the continuation of the sponsorship.

But she is quick to mention that, there is more to be than on the way the community is handling child protection issues. She said it against the laws of the land for anybody to hide any torture, rape and defilement on any individual. She then urges the congregants to be the watch dogs for the vulnerable in the community especially, children and women.

After all is said and done.  A room that is purposely made for the infants was unveiled by the District Chief Exercutive, Hon. Moore Zonyra, Central Tongu District.
He encourages the parents to capitalize on this intervention and give the needed support the Child Development Workers so that the best can be derieved and their children to become a better person for the nation.

He also encourages the community leaders and every household to have a toilet facility to do away with open defaecation which he said is also one of the government agender of making our villages, cities and towns clean. He concluded be saying the child development center can write any proposal to his office and the district on projects that are concerned with child protection.

He pledged his support for the Project and said this are the organization that can help the government and for that matter Ghana to attain some of her programs.
The theme of the launch is *" Reducing Infants and Mother Mortality, a Collective Responsibility For Hoslitic Growth".*

              THE UNSPOKEN TRUTH
The brewer brews it to his own knowledge been transferred from his father, brother or any other relatives that is largely involved in the distillation of the locally distilled alcohol known  as " akpetetsi"

I have the doubt everytime i was told the *sodabi*, another name for akpetetsi, has come out from palm wine.
How possible can something like that comes from palm wine has been the one out of many rhetoric questions that comes into my mind anytime i have heard of Akpetetsi.

Today, my doubt is cleared when i visted Blewusi, the master brewer of *Lebene* *Brewery*, a local brewery company in Mafi-Agoe, in Central Tongu District, Volta Region of Ghana.
A friend of mind told me they distilling some akpetetsi around and want us to go and have a look at it. I quickly agreed to this because i think it is an opportunity for to have a fair idea about how the whole thing is done and it might also give me a platform to learn.

Early enough we set of to the place where brewing is taking place. You will be shocked when you are exposed to the art of modern technology that is been applied in the factory.
" We do not spent much in making this factory because we move from place to place base on the availability of raw materials. You can see it yourself, how much will this rubber cost, how much will be involved in buying this tanks and tubes? We spent less but make alot of cash out of this", the master brewer said.
Waooo! I exclaimed. So how did you learn this? "The learning is simple. It is not like going secondary school or university to learn books, it is very practical and taking of instructions serious and very soon you will become your own master. I was eighteen years when i help my father to taped palm wine and brew akpetetsi out of it for only once, and that is where i started doing my own". He said.

I then throw my mind back to those days at school when were learning separation of mixtures and one of the topics that we treated was *distillation*, and i have realized that the process involved in making akpetetsi and that of distillation in our science subject is the same.
The question that comes to my mind is, if this is how the whole thing is done why can't our teachers organize some sight visit so that we can all understand this concept once and for all? I rhetorically asked myself.

I further ask the master brewer that i could see a fire under a tank, a tube connecting the tank, passing through water and finding it ways in a gallon, what is the importance of all this to your work?.

"The tank contains the fermented palm wine that we kept for about three weeks and the fire we set under it will let it becomes very hot and will start evaporating. The tube connected to tank will then collect the vapour that comes from the heat or the evaporated palm wine, then then the water will cool the vapour in the tube and it becomes the *Zorkele* that we working on.
In an amazement, i put my hands together and said that is brilliant and magical.
So if that is that case how will you know the amout of heat you applied is okay? "That is where you to be careful and observant and takes instructions. Because i know people say there something that you can use to measure the heat but we don't have it here so what we do is to look at the flow of the liquid substance and adjust the fire to it pepepe like that.

I have seen it myself. I have my doubt cleared and it is nice to see something good myself.
So what do you will improve your work and make you a big man? "We will become  great people if government or any individual can give us a helping hand by modifying our work with equipments this can also be one of the factories promised by President Nana Addo and we can all also give direct employment to 1000 of Ghanaians". He said
So education started ways back and it is only been transferred from one individual to another with just spoken words and it is still working.

What is your judgement? Did ever have chance to listen to this unspoken truth? It is fact that someone has inverted this and was here before the arrival of Europeans and for that matter education and it will last for ever and ever.
