"The 24th February 1966 coup d’état: The beginning of Ghana’s socio-economic decline Exactly 55 years ago today, military/cum police conspirators coordinated and financed by the CIA and British Intelligence carried out a successful overthrow of Ghana’s first President Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah {and the Convention People’s Party (CPP) government} whilst he was on his way through China to Hanoi, Vietnam. The Times (London) said a day after the coup d’état of 24 February 1966, Ghana had “swung back to reliance on the West.” It is now clear to all Ghanaians what reliance on the West has meant for the country. At the political level, Ghana is described by the West as a beacon of democracy in Africa because we have had, since 1992, the NPP and the NDC passing the baton of government between themselves with the common denominator being the reliance on the West. For the ordinary citizens, it has been a grim and sad experience with very little to show for in terms of their well-being. Neit...

My take on Moderation : Moderation is the process of eliminating or lessening extremes. It is used to ensure normality throughout the medium on which it is being conducted. Historically, the pre-Socratics through the Hippocratic and Galenic corpus , and in the writings of such Stoic philosophers as Epictetus and Seneca, health was seen to stream from observing Moderation – in exercise, in study, and in diet. Moderation is also a principle of life. As an individual, you are require to spend quality time with friends wining and dining together. But nevertheless, maintain moderation as excessive drinking and eating is not beneficial for your health. Make an effort to get things done from others, otherwise they will take advantage of you.

Take a relaxed view of life and forget any old feuds. Spend time with your family or close friends and let them know how important they are to you; expect to receive a lot of trust and affection as well. Workout or engage in a physical activity to build positive energy and counter any stressful situation. It is our responsibility to make ourselves happy, because happiness only lies on the shoulders of those who create it.
