“Your Excellency” is killing us

Unnecessary and unwarranted titles are destroying Ghana and we must realize and do something about this problem. The president is addressed as “Your excellency, the president”, the more sycophantic ones among us go to the extent of addressing him in everyday speech as “Your excellency, the president of the Republic of Ghana and commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces”. This servile posturing is not limited only to the president.

Beware of tricksters in old schnapps bottles

The security system seems to be on the heels of confidence tricksters who use subtle means to dupe ‘willing gullible people’. If these strategies that seem to be succeeding are to persist then the days of the ‘crooks’ are numbered. Media reports reveal that some victims of the ‘sumptuous tricks’ have began spilling the beans on the modus operandi of the crooks. The exposures are enough ‘eye openers’ for the victims and perhaps all those who would be tempted by the ‘tricksters’ in future.
