INTERCEPTED: KT's LETTER TO AKOSUA BOAHEMAA

                                                                                                                     29-06-2022

 My heartbeat Akosua Boahemaa -:),

 It’s been a long while since fate separated our ambitions. How are you faring and how are my in laws?
I really miss seeing you and especially the beautiful things you do when I am around you. It’s chilly over here and guess what I have been wearing clothes on top of clothes. Do you now get the reason why I always wished you were here?
I go to the park mostly alone and I am forced to take up two jobs just to keep myself busy and occupied. My new jobs is very interesting and guess what, it’s voluntary. You remember the last event we attended at the AICC, and the decision you helped me make towards that dream of serving my community.
As a lawyer and an advocacy journalist, I mostly deal with big corporations especially the effects of their operations to the environment and how we can impose restrictions and fines on them when they flout any of the international protocols when it comes to protecting the environment.
Babe, the kids at this center are so amazing and intelligent. It’s as if they were born with positive attitudes towards ensuring a clean environment but my pal from Japan doesn’t share that thought though. XIN CHANG says in his country the responsibility of ensuring a clean environment is nurtured through training from infancy of a child and I want to belief that’s the same over here too. He is kind and has given me some products of recycled materials. Mind you,I am bringing them home- I don't want to use then J..I have been thinking and having sleepless nights. I want to come home and I know this would excite you. Yes!! We have got to have kids of our own but the feeling that our lot as a country might not be anything to brag about is something that hurts me as a citizen. I have started some savings though for that project but I need your assistance in getting this done. You know how difficult getting capital is. Join me save towards this. When we have kids of our own we would instill in them this attitude and many forward looking ones too.
Not forgetting the amazing thing you are doing with your clothing line. I am so proud of you and can’t wait to have my latest kente sewn by you. Though an HR Manager, your passion to do something with your hands just like my Mum drives me crazy. Hopefully, we would visit mum together on my return and I am very sure we would have to name your fashion house after hers and still maintain your trade name.
Just before I go, I hope you are educating people about the effects of littering and irresponsible behavior? I am eager to see how your company is dealing with waste especially after my proposal was accepted by your board. Possibly we could make some modifications too. I can’t say bye without my usual tagline

“HELP SAVE A LIFE! KEEP OUR HOMES, SCHOOLS, OFFICES AND ENVIRONMENT CLEAN FROM WASTE”

Love,

Kofi Tigbonka

ASSESSING THE ROLE/IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE IN TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD: THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
In recent times, development organizations have come to adopt a participatory approach in undertaking developmental projects in rural areas and places where a lot is desired in terms of development. As a developer whose interest lies in the use of communication tools in facilitating development, it baffles me to see the neglect of the very crucial element of culture that most people living in very remote and under developed areas cling on to by development organizations that usually militates against steady progress expected by these organizations.Ghana committed itself to the tenets of the Millennium Development Goals in September 2001. To ensure full implementation of these goals, it mainstreamed them into the respective national development policy frameworks. According to the Ghana MDG’s 2015 report, progress towards the attainment of the MDGs has been reported on annual…

Entrepreneurship vs. Intrapreneurship; Africa's dilemma in dealing with unemployment. A case study of Ghana

Image
Africa has been described by many as a continent on the rise. According to the African Union Agenda 2063, It is estimated that by 2050, Africa would have the largest youthful population with a huge workforce. Despite the huge prospects and the enormous resources the continent is endowed with, Africa continues to face numerous challenges. These challenges include poverty, unemployment, inadequate infrastructure and many more. According to the latest World Bank Africa poverty report, Poverty across the continent may be lower than what current estimates suggest, though the number of people living in extreme poverty has grown substantially since 1990. In line with fighting poverty and dealing with unemployment, a lot of calls and efforts has been put into encouraging young African's into creating their own businesses or being entrepreneurs. In this feature, as a case study I would attempt to explore if Ghanaian entrepreneurship is booming and why. I would also want to delve into the i…

WASTE TIME ON WASTE

Image
In recent times, especially the aftermath of the unfortunate flood and fire incident, we as a people have come to appreciate the need for attitudinal change. Day to day, we walk past several heeps of waste on our streets, neighbourhood or even workplaces. As a people we have wasted too much time on complaining about the ills in society and i want to suggest that we waste time instead on waste. 
Waste recycling has been recommened by several experts as one of the ways to solve Ghana's increasing and worsening sanitation situation. What is recycling then? Recycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling).Though Ghana has not banned plastics, governments over the years have taken some steps to curb the plastic menace. For instance in 1996, the government tasked the Council …
