Just finish feeding my dogs. Well, nothing of that got to do with the headline you read. Mr. Oti was right. A father of ten children told me, "Roland you can't do away with politics even in the scriptures".

I love Ghana with all my heart. Why? Because there is a reason God(King), didnt create an American.

I have tried my best to remember the scriptures as much as I can. The King gave us knowledge through Prophets,Leaders, and the slaves.

Ever since I was born, whatever I did or still do, either seen or not seen to hurt mother Ghana I know the King of heavens and earth will question me about it. I need to blame myself before He calls me home.

Ghana is an interesting country. We seem to have abandon the the word of God. We call ourselves a christian country. But I am a Muslim anyway. Wondering why I am called Roland. Well, you can find out from me if you care.

When I imagine how our leaders hurt this country I wonder if they really love this country. The King gave us love and we are misusing it.

I'm angry as a youth when I heard how the taxpayers money guinea fowls flew to Burkina Faso. This was tax payers money. I mean my money and your money.

I got even more upset when I was told the President was misled to sign the new AMERI deal. If this really true then I've the right to be angry. Because once again my money and your money is gone.And No one is paying for it. Not withstanding you have the right not to be angry. But, When you walk down the streets of Accra and see the hungry and beggars don't be a hypocrite to feel sad about their condition of living.

To have a feeling of love for; to regard with affection or good will; as, to love one's children and friends; to love one's country; to love one's God says The Free Dictionary by Farlex.

I just checked the bible, trying to find out what it says about love.
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" -Matt. xxii 37. God is indeed wise.Yes. Because He quickly added this verse "Thou shalt thy neighbor as thy self"-Matt xxii 39.

Allah is with those who are of service to others. (Al Quran 29:70)
“God does not love corruption”. (Surat al-Baqara, 205)

Hypocrisy “When you look at them, their exteriors please you. When they speak, you listen to their words. They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of timber propped up, (unable to stand on their own). They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them! How deluded they are (from the truth)!” 63:4

Hypocrisy " Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen"1 John 4:20

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back".Luke 6:27-30

Lets choose where we belong because I know where I belong.

I agree with the managing editor of the Insight news Paper Mr.Kwesi Pratt when he said If board directors of banks can be bailed out when they run into bankruptcy because they pay tax then the kayaye on street should be treated the same because she pays tax as well.

We should either Love,be Hypocrite or be the Enemy.

Will return again.

Expect my book to be out soon. THE UNHAPPY YOUTH
