He is quoted to have said that “You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.” He could not have...
Why the Friday-Crucifixion; Sunday-Resurrection story of Easter is not biblical (I)
ARTICLE: CHRIS BAPUOHYELE
Not long ago, Christendom, the world over, celebrated an annual event on its calendar, called Easter (Ishtar, Astarte?). Do the words Ishtar or Astarte ring bells in your ears? Never mind if they do not. We may find time in a future article to talk about Easter, Ishtar and Astarte.
Easter is regarded as the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This year,...
All this talk about the Statistical Service (End)
In that 2010 (and 2011) article, I state among other things that: “…Inflation is one of several macro-economic indices, and is important to the health of an economy. In simple terms, according to economists, inflation is the relationship between the number of goods on the market and the amount of money chasing those goods. I add that, essentially, inflation measures the ability of consumers...
Falling professional standards in the media
The case of radio stations in Northern Ghana and who should be blamed
“Ziem..!!! You look so-o-o-o-o good. Life is good for you-o-oh. At least, those of you who’re journalists don’t have any problem. I saw you the other time on television when I was watching news. You were sitting with “BIG MEN” including the Regional Minister, Vice President and some other dignitaries in a workshop.”

Tribute to the memory of the late Rt. Rev. Victor Buer Nartey-Tokoli
BY DANIEL OWUSU-KORANTENG (an old student of Nkawkaw Secondary School)
“Praise we the wise and brave and strong
Who graced their generation,
Who helped the right and fought the wrong,
And made our folks a nation.”
I believe that if we fail to acknowledge the good deeds of our fellow human beings, we would find it difficult to show gratitude for God’s gift of abundant resources.

Ban on drumming, book long and matters arising
Noise making in Ghana has reached a height where uninterrupted sleep in a residential area is a luxury. Back in the days, the home was a place of sanity, refuge, privacy, and peace from the pressures of the job market and the day’s activities.
But woe betides you if the place you call your home is located anywhere near a church or a cluster of churches where deafening-noise from electronic...
Nigeria: The worsening security situation in Imo State
The worsening security situation in Imo State is giving Ndi-Imo so much concern. This is connected to the current alarming rate of kidnapping, and armed robbery in the State. It is embarrassing the way and manner criminals abduct Imo citizens demanding ransom before their release. The consequence is that socio-economic activities in Imo are affected negatively, leading to economic hardship for the...
The day Ghana nearly got burnt
In the developing world, radio is supposed to be a progressive medium. It is supposed to be an important tool for educating the masses of illiterates, to enlighten and to inspire.
Unfortunately, in most of the developing world including Ghana, radio is fast becoming an instrument of terror. It appears the lessons of the Rwandan genocide have quickly been forgotten.
The knife, in the hands of a physician...
Mothers and motherhood
This weekend, all over the world, we celebrated our mothers and motherhood.
As a man, I am sometimes baffled by how much bigger Mothers’ Day is than Fathers’ Day but that argument belongs to a different day.
Like most of us, I too, am thinking of my mother—or to put it more appropriately, my mothers.
I say mothers because aside from my biological mother, I have had a few other mothers who have...
