The same pain should have been felt by you when sixteen children perished one day. The only difference is these eight die in line of national duty and the children died for Christ. Today our leaders have lost focus and direction to lead. It takes social media to direct government officials to say even sorry to the family of these young ones. As a leader of Ghana, you must value every soul that perish accidentally. Either perished in line of duty or perished as a result of going about their normal business. Every life counts because it is inreplaceble. Only the wise shall understand.

Romans 7:15-20

Romans 7:15-20 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do. But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not. For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise. But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. Now if I habitually do what I do not want to do, [that means] I agree with the Law, confessing that it is good (morally excellent). So now [if that is the case, then] it is no longer I who do it [the disobedient thing which I despise], but the sin [nature] which lives in me. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. For the willingness [to do good] is present in me, but the doing of good is not. For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want to do, I am no longer the one doing it [that is, it is not me that acts], but the sin [nature] which lives in me.

Romans 7:15-20 The Passion Translation (TPT)
I’m a mystery to myself, for I want to do what is right, but end up doing what my moral instincts condemn. And if my behavior is not in line with my desire, my conscience still confirms the excellence of the law. And now I realize that it is no longer my true self doing it, but the unwelcome intruder of sin in my humanity. For I know that nothing good lives within the flesh of my fallen humanity. The longings to do what is right are within me, but willpower is not enough to accomplish it. My lofty desires to do what is good are dashed when I do the things I want to avoid. So if my behavior contradicts my desires to do good, I must conclude that it’s not my true identity doing it, but the unwelcome intruder of sin hindering me from being who I really am.

For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

Romans 7:14-20 The Message (MSG)
I can anticipate the response that is coming: “I know that all God’s commands are spiritual, but I’m not. Isn’t this also your experience?” Yes. I’m full of myself—after all, I’ve spent a long time in sin’s prison. What I don’t understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I absolutely despise. So if I can’t be trusted to figure out what is best for myself and then do it, it becomes obvious that God’s command is necessary. But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.

The accident happened a day after announcing cocoa price and the helicopter landed on a cocoa farm.

Sober reflections and prayers are welcome. Ghanaians are deeply religious and pray constantly in this sorrowful time. But give Ghanaians the opportunity to be critical and pragmatic reflections concerning the helicopter accident that killed the 8 persons. Americans and the global world are still talking about the tragedy of the September 11 that brought the twin towers in New York. Ghana is with 6 of August, Wednesday. The present and the future generations and those yet to be born will still raise pragmatic discussions about this tragic event in the history of Ghana. The big 8. Rest in Peace!!

Do you remember that over 150 perished in the fire incident at the Circle petrol filling station in June 2015 (ironically, Mahama was the presideht). What happened to the so-called investigation which was done? The same for May 9 disaster in 2001 and Melcom building collapse.

Mr President these men should not die in vain
They have sacrificed their lives for galamsey a menace that must be uprooted . Our president must now show some toughness. He is too gentle and Ghanaians are taking advantage of his calm demeanor. The death of these gallant and dedicated patriots must not be in vain. Galamsey must be eradicated at any cost by any means to appease the souls of the departed. Galamsey should be tackled with military force and those involved must face capital punishment.
