  In trying to justify why professors of Mechanical Engineering at the KNUST could not repair their vehicles when they break down, academicians of this university have come out to claim that these KNUST professors could not do so because they are not mechanics - even though these same people teach automobile engineering. This is unpardonable and these professors could be forgiven if they were physicists - remember most of the theories and formulae in mechanical engineering are produced by physicists. This is shocking because I don't know the kind of engineering training these KNUST professors are offering our youth and I can now see why products of our universities become useless when they don't get others to employ them. It will be very shocking to see a professor of mining engineering who cannot do blasting or use the theodolite to do surveying and so professors of KNUST have no excuse. It appears that education in Ghana is not meant to empower the youth for good deeds but just a means to seek white-colour jobs. Elsewhere it is not so. I once worked with a Ghanaian agriculturist, trained in Romania, as teachers in a secondary school. This man was teaching General Agric, Horticulture and Animal Husbandary whiles I handled Maths, Gen Science and Farm Mechanization. This man was so good at his area that I asked him why he is different from his counterparts trained in Ghana. It was after my inquiry the man told me that in Romania, to be an agriculturist, you need to be trained in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the programme. The practical aspects include plowing, shooting, swimming, how to set traps for different rodents that destroy crops, how to dismantle the engine of a tractor and fix it , basic animal surgery, how to construct silos and other storage facilities, etc. When he was posted to teach at the secondary school, he really inspired his students with his practical know-how. What even baffled me in that school was that the school was having survey instruments like the chain, theodolite, ranging poles, prismatic compasses, etc, yet the geography tutor, who was a graduate teacher from the University of Ghana could not use them - even though the geography syllabus at the SSCE level demanded that students should learn how to use them. I had to teach them the use of those instrument although I am not a university graduate. So you see how our intellectuals are misleading the youth.

  The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has said that the cause of the death of Ghana’s late leader, Prof John Evans Atta Mills’ death would soon be revealed.
  Calls have been made by several Ghanaians for the cause of the death of the leader who died some months to the 2012 polls to be revealed.
  The flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom promised the people of the central region that he would investigate the cause of the death of the late law professor.
  “Professor Mills was a bona fide citizen and also the president of Ghana when he died and we believe he deserves an investigation into his death to restore dignity to his person, the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana, his family and the people of the Central Region,” he said.
  He said the objective of the party is to prevent what happened to a sitting president from happening again.
  “We are interested in protecting all our presidents from falling victim to the circumstances of the death of the professor,” he said.
  “A full-scale investigation and the recommendations thereof will make our nation great and strong and prepare us to handle future situations more carefully and in a manner that promote sacrifice, service and loyalty to God and country from our future leaders,” he added.
  The NPP also promised to investigate and come out with the cause of death of the late President when elected.
  And this is one of the numerous promises many of the voters especially those in the Central Region are hoping the Akufo-Addo administration fulfils.
  The National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Sammi Awuku speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on Friday, however, promised the cause of the death of the late leader would be revealed soon.
  Angry foot soldiers and some persons in the leadership of the NDC, he said would be the ones who would soon come out with the truth surrounding Mills’ death.
  “I can bet my last coin on it that if you want to know how Professor Mills died, it would appear in their national officer's elections and that of the presidential elections because when it gets there, everybody will pour everything into it to make sure they gain an advantage…,” he said.He, therefore, called on Ghanaians to exercise patience as the NDC would soon come out with more deadly secrets than has already been heard and written about.
  Sammi Awuku said the NDC lost the elections because they specialised in hammering on the perceived weaknesses in the NPP instead of selling their message.

  Adwoa Sarfo is young and we in the NPP need her so much. The current state of health of NDC gluttons like Allotey Jacobs, Anita Desoso and Inusah Fusseini should educate her.

  Loud-mouth MP Ken Agyepong must tell us why he kicked out Adwoa Sarfo after after getting 2 kids with her. Is it that she was snoring too much? Or that she was not washing her panties? Or could it be that her mouth or armpits stink like KVIP? Or was Adwoa searching his pockets anytime he was in the bathroom?
  
  There must be some compelling reason why a man would kick out a beauty queen like Adwoa.
  Ken, please open that your big mouth now!!!

  You are all in it for what you can amass.I am trying to but struggling to trust any of you.The NDC ripped the nation apart financially and though you might not go to the degree of the NDC, I don't understand why we need a minister for procurement.She is there to use legal strategies to cover up all the fraudulent deals that her colleagues will get involved in.We have a long long way to go.Affluence and extravagance is what is dragging us back.Just ask any of our ministers to use Toyota Prius for inner city duties and you will be surprised about the reasons he or she will give against it. It's a sad story for Ghana ????????.
