WHETHER DEAD OR ALIVE? CASTRO SAVES MORE LIVES FROM LOSS.

Though the demise of hiplife-star, Theophilus Tagoe a.k.a Castro came as a profound shock to Ghanaians, I would rather describe it as an awakening-calling on stakeholders of resorts in the country to put in measures to ensure safety. The drowning of people in waters at these resorts have being a thing of the past.
The stories of millions who died from taking leisure at swimming and using watercrafts are always swept under the carpet, except for the few pathetic ones the media reveal. Even with that, it ends there and as to how the dead bodies are buried remains mystery. Until, the adverse of our negligence happen to a popular person, the lame continues to suffer for it.
On Sunday, 6th July, we were plying our normal duties just when rumours from all directions came hitting our social media walls claiming; Castro has drowned in the Ada river while riding a jet ski with his girlfriend Janet Bandu. He was reported to have checked in at the Aqua Safari Resort at Ada with Asamoah Gyan and three other friends on Friday 4 to spend the weekend there. Castro was said to have invited his girlfriend Janet to join them on the day on which they went skiing.
As at now, his body is still pending searches; a number of agencies rushed to the scene to assist in withdrawing him from the river. Marine Police, the Navy, the Tema Police Command, the Ada Police Command, Ada East District Assembly, Local fishermen and fetishes have all showed up for his rescue. Though, there have been no traces of him or his girlfriend, Ghanaians has concluded on various opinions. A school of thought claim; the lady had taken him to the underworld to show him to her fellow marine spirits.
Another school of thought too claims it's in line with the occasional happenings around the black Star Captain Asamoah Gyan anytime he returns from a tournament. Whereas some of us feel he's dead; some fetishes have said he's receiving training underwater and would return alive in some time later.
If he's truly not dead then we wish him a safe return.
Meanwhile, I would also use this opportunity to teach the public some safety precautions to observe before getting on a watercraft.
Firstly, don't operate a sea boat or jet ski when drunk or having used drugs. This can impair the brain and would make you lose focus hence causing accident.

To avoid injury, turn-off engine when individuals are in the water.
Don't stand in or on a vessel when it's in motion!

Try as much as possible to minimize distractions by riding away from tidal waves forming on the surface of the water.

Don't overload the vessel! Only keep light materials on board, to ensure safety.

Watch the oil, temperature and other gauges for signs of problems. Ignoring signs can result in costly repairs.

Be sure to check the engine compartment to see if the battery is secure and cables are tight. Check fuel lines for leaks or signs of wear or cracking.

Check the vessel's fire extinguisher to see if it hasn't expired.

And the most important of all, don't forget your life jacket!

If all the above are adhered to and also enforced by resort authorities, it would be safe for us all.

MAHAMA'S ALLEGED "DEMONIC PAD" IS BUNKUM.

I was completely overwhelmed when I first read on social media circles a piece which says Mahama's pad distribution Policy is a form of occultic ritual to help him sustain the presidency come 2016. I couldn't simply stop asking myself when Ghanaians and for that matter Africa would be relieved of indoctrination and spiritual slavery? And what salts the situation most is when I see intellects or learned men championing this course, all in the name of 'politricks'.

I was on my usual news hunting when I came across this gibberish; 'Mahama's Pad Campaign is Demonic - Sammy Awuku'. Sammy Awuku; the Youth Organizer of the main opposition NPP is spearheading those waging war against the government's decision to distribute sanitary pads to school girls in deprived areas.

These heartless opponents are using their cheap propaganda to create a gap between parents and government in this country, they are deceiving the public by claiming that the pads are meant for spiritual purposes. Meanwhile, government has explained that it has secured a $156million loan from the world bank to finance the construction of secondary schools, serve as scholarship to financially challeged students and part for the distribution of pads to school girls in remote areas. It obvious, the distribution of pads for the school girls is totally illogical but how to ply about it counts!

Therefore, in playing politics with this, one must be skeptical not to indoctrinate the innocent Ghanaians at large. It's completely out of place for the opposition or analysts to spiritualize this agenda especially in this twenty-first century when science and technology has ruled out all these fallacies.

I was equally mad when I heard government's decision to use part of a secured loan to fund the distribution of pads. It was quite unusual and I would never be happy with Mahama for this, yet I didn't read any spiritual meaning into it.

Spiritualism and Superstitious beliefs have caused great havoc to the development of Africa already; so I won't take it lightly when I see knowledgeable men go that primitive because they should know better. So I expect them(politicians) to demonstrate realistic ideas to teach the ignorant masses. Due to this same ignorance, a number of false prophets and fetishes have gained popularity because of their acclaimed spiritual aid and are mentally enslaving others.

I don't bear membership card in any political party in this country but have stood out as a concerned citizen to help tirelessly fight for the renaissance of the entire Africa from any form of indoctrination. Like Marcus Garvey once said 'liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men'.

I must confess, I would not succumb to spare Mahama for this 'pad bamboozle'. There are trillions of developmental projects to undertake but for him to choose the supplying of pads to school girls, he must have reasons.

If we care to even dive into the spiritual side of politics, we would find out that almost all are politicians are in secret cults. The consultations and sacrifices they (politicians) do during elections is enough to say the least. Don't be like the hypocrite, trying to let your friend out because of your political difference!

I'm therefore warning you those nation-wreckers to put your spiritual deceit aside and play fair game, otherwise. . . .................WATCHOUT FOR PART 2!

STOP CRITICIZING THE BLACKSTARS!

Following the recent eviction of the Black Stars from the group stages in the ongoing World Cup in Brazil; the senior team together with the coach and GFA President have met a lot of bashings from all tenets of the country.

But for the 'JUST ANOTHER DAY' fame; he's unperturbed by the circumstance at hand. Instead he's making a clarion-call on all ghanaians to help encourage and support the Black Stars, since this was just a mishap. 'The Black Stars have really done well even in the midst of heated agitations yet didn't boycott the last match with Portugal but proved themselves even unto defeat. The Black Stars also did put smiles on our faces with the contending draw with giants Germany'.

Coach Kwesi Appiah being first ghanaian to take the blackstars to the World Cup also deserve massive applause than this bit of ill-talks claiming his resignation from the team. AtaaSkolo reveals; he was very happy with the coach's statement at the Alisa Hotel Press Conference with the Ghanaian media. 'I won't quit coaching the Black Stars' - Kwasi Appiah.

Kwesi Appiah still has the enthuse to handle the team no matter what. If not for this slight indiscipline exhibited by some senior players, he wouldn't have being exposed to such public ridicule. He could have easily taken the BlackStars to triumph, hadn't being for the team spirit which got lost a couple of days before the matches. A whole lot of issues aroused which virtually affected the coach's decision to even make changes.

The GFA was also able to crack the whip at two star players to save the the discipline in the camp. It was a very tough decision at such odd time retaining the teams image but he did it with closed eyes . The GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi has said that, the GFA would no longer sweep acts of indiscipline in camp under the carpet. As part of it's discipline campaign, it would enact its code of conduct to bite anyone who falls prey. 'You may be the best player in the team, but if you fail to abide by the disciplinary codes, you would be shown the exit' the president added.

As for Ataa Skolo, his fervent hope is that; Ghanaians put trust in our local coach and the the GFA president for their tremendous work done and coming home safely. 'At least, we have learnt from this World Cup tournament. It's now time for the authorities to sit-back and make amendments'.

He also lauded the media, for their tireless efforts in bringing us story all the way from Brasil. The media have done a very great job but advised they be circumspect in their reportage. At the press conference and other granted interviews; revealed that some stories that broke earlier were untrue.

Keeping the spirit of the Black Stars burning, authorities should learning from this, climaxed with good press, I can assure you that 2018 -' ayeeeeeeeeeee Ruf'.
