Thoughts are things. Whatever that has ever been created in this world either in the life of individuals, families, communities and nations is as a result of a well formed THOUGHT.  

A person's thoughts affect his/her immediate atmosphere and surroundings. Walk to anyone and if you are sensitive to energy, you will feel his/her dominant thoughts or see the evidence of them around him or her. And this is applicable to families, communities and nations. So it goes without saying that the Country as we see it today, is the creation of all of us , especially those who have the responsibility to shape the thinking and the direction of this nation. Hence everything eventually is being run down because we all hold strongly  to a  belief that individual wealth and riches make a person Stronger and Powerful more than a National Wealth. So the entire country  is on a scavenging and looting spree  , to get things to enrich self. 

Sadly, in the country even those who are to be  the conscience of the nation and to help shape the collective thoughts, like :- the Religious Leaders, the Chiefs of our Communities, the Media Houses, Leaders of Trade Unions and State Men; are so divided by  their own Interests because of greed and self centeredness 

Today, an average person on the street has lost so much hope in the Country. We  have nothing  to hold on to as a Nation’s Pride. The Economy stability is no more there and the little Peace we have, is also threatened and may elude us because some people want power or want to hold on to power by all means possible.

Even the Boxing and Football which have been the Nation’s Pride some years back, have also been run down. For, they were identified  as the Guess that lays the golden egg or Cash-Cow, which needs to be milked dry, forgetting that they need to be fed properly to continue giving them what they are interested in. So now Ghana is at its lowest in football and boxing because those responsible are careless about them, interested only in what they get while the entire country looks on. 

The least said about the politicians, the better. The country embraces Democracy to prevent unscrupulous and adventurous individuals taking up the reins of this nation to satisfy their whimsical and capricious dreams. 

But what do we see today,  some of the people these parties present to be voted for, leave so much to be desired.  Now money has become the measure and the one who can come up with the most schemes to deceive the masses to win political power is mostly preferred and not those who stand for Truth and the Wellbeing of the Nation. 

But can we blame them alone for the mess and what they have become, certainly Not. For, they reflect absolutely well the National Character and Spirit.  As a Nation, we have made them who they are  through our excessive selfish demands and encouragement. We witnessed what some do and we  say nothing. Sometimes we are  push them to do harm to this nation for what we can gain. 

To reshape the Conscience (heart) and Consciousness (Thought) of the Nation Arts & Culture Ministries and Music & Movie Industries must be well resourced  and be given a clear matching orders to rally everyone around the National Flag especially our politicians and those in charge of our institutions & Agencies. 

May God bless us all and make our Nation Great and Strong. Amen
