Paradox of Mr Apology and Father Kalipo: Politics of blame game

Image
Father Kalipo It all started well when they were young. Their parents saw the missions and visions but they could not succeed in them. These children come from different parent. Everyone comes from his parents and home town. They have one mission and vision for their country. "To make it a world class" but the center cannot hold. The struggles and challenges are tough. The fathers thought about this journey of the country, to build it with their best knowledge. It was lovely but the selfishness was too much. Someone will ask, who are you talking about? I am talking about Mr Apology and Father Kalipo. The two managers of the State welfares. The journey began with the fathers but they could not succeed and enjoy those moments because another person intervened, who thought about the country or State beyond his brothers. He broke their record. Today, the benefits have fall on the children and they are enjoying the fruit of the labour of their fathers. A political journey is tou...

  It was around 3:35 pm in the afternoon. Everything was good in the day. The fishermen were at the river shore getting their nets and boats ready to work. They work on the Abe Lagoon, the only and main river for fishing and for domestic purposes. The river is also a route to many villages, even to Ghana. The workers of the fishermen brought in the paddles and outboard motors. They fixed them on the boats and tested the engines if they were functioning well. Later, the fishermen began taking off to cast their nets. Those who used small canoes did not need outboard motors, only the paddles. They also paddled along and cast their nets. Some of the women have finished cooking their supper and eaten whilst there were some still cooking. The ground suffered with the punches of pestles in the mortars by parents and their children because of fufu. As the day went by, everything folded smoothly. Everyone got something to do. The cocks, hens, and their chickens were on the ground ...
