GHANA IN A REVERSED GEAR INTO THE FUTURE

Swinging my hands whilst pacing on a large compound house, I tried to console myself with a hymn titled “when peace like a river” due to the broadcast of suicide cases in recent times. Posterity, accusing the media or any person might be wrong since investigations are still on-going. 
 

When individuals do not feel part of the society or cannot alter their life conditions, they sometimes commit suicide. Is this a rare case or there have being uncountable suicide cases which have not received media coverage? Posterity, may their souls rest in perfect peace. 

The translation of national anthem into the major Ghanaian local languages indicates that local languages will be promoted in various schools. Does the rhythm change when these versions of the national anthem are sung? Students who play drums in schools should be creative to create a rhythm for the songs. I do remember when teachers would punish students for speaking local languages in school. Posterity, at an early stage of development local languages is despised.

Posterity, do you know that music is not taught as a subject in government schools at the basic level of education. I fail to understand why music which educates the mind and soul will be removed without hesitation. Music is part of the Ghanaian culture hence its absence in the educational curriculum creates a vacuum in the heart and mind of the younger generation.

The new Ghana Journalist Association Code of Ethics will help protect the image of journalists in Ghana. Ghanaians can now distinguish between people who portray themselves as journalist and individuals who practice journalism as a profession. 

Through new media, many a person thinks journalism encompasses writing and reporting events, therefore the new code of ethics will resolve the problems that the new media creates.

I pray my generation begins to drive in the right direction, Posterity.
