Oxymoron!!!












Oxymoron!!!
When people start pretending life is oxymoron- Daniel Odoi. Oxymoron are two words that contradict each other example sinful saint, good devil, cruel kindness, abundant poverty etc. According to the Holy Bible, Job was a righteous man. His life became miserable when God gave Satan the permit to tempt him. In the course of tempting him, Satan killed Job's children, took away his riches and devastated Job's health.  The life of Job’s three friends (Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar) was oxymoron when he faced this catastrophic situation.
 In summary, you just listen to how one of his pretending friends (Eliphaz) presented his case with the notion of consoling him: “you will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself” (Job 5:26-27). Are you disappointed by the actions of people you trusted the most? Like Job who was not moved by the actions of his best friends, put your trust in the Lord and He will lift you up at the appointed time.

GHANA BEYOND AID: REFINING THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

GHANA BEYOND AID: REFINING THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM The idea of Ghana beyond aid is a laudable idea by the government which demands total rearrangement in almost all levels of our national institutions. The educational system cannot be left out when talking about a nation ‘beyond aid’. We need educational system that promises to tackle issues that impede national development – an educational system that will assure its citizens of adequate knowledge and requisite skills READILY NEEDED for harnessing national growth (emphasis capitalized). We need a school system, starting from the junior high school as well as the senior high level, which will enable our young ones to gain grounds to compete with global economy. In that case the nation wouldn’t employ the service of foreigners for our nation, from basic service delivery to Construction works. I hope this is not new because it is a common place to hear of such things as the employment of foreign aid for  our developments, I bel...

The shoulders of giants!!!

The shoulders of giants!!! According to the bible, zacchaeus ‘the short’ was a notorious tax collector. He cheated the people of his time by collecting taxes which exceeded the required amount. His life changed tremendously and became a good Christian after his encounter with Christ the messiah. This divine transformation took place after he had climbed the sycamore-fig tree to see Christ; he saw afar. Unfortunately so many individuals are comfortably sitting in their situations thinking all hope is lost. Meanwhile, the life of some successful personalities like Dr. Opoku Onyina, Dr. Mensa Otabil, Prophet Kakra Baiden and many others is wealthy of emulation. Beloved, like zacchaeus, there is nothing too late in life, you just have to stand on the shoulders of giants and you will see afar.   ….. Daniel Odoi©...…

The loose-loose-game; unwinnable scenario!!!

The loose-loose-game; unwinnable scenario!!! Couple of years ago, I witnessed a game between a young girl and her elder sister. In this game, a stone is hidden in one palm of the sister, the hand is sent back and the stone left on a chair without the kid’s knowledge. The two hands are brought forward again simultaneously and the kid is asked to guess which hand contains the stone. She never got any of the chances right because the stone is in neither of the two palms. I call this game ‘the loose-loose-game’ . It is an unwinnable scenario! Some youths instead of striving harder towards achieving their set goals, have entrusted their future in the hands of some families and friends who they thought will assist them in the course of their lives. Unfortunately some of these relatives do not carry them to their desired destination. In the long run, they only give ‘tangible’ excuses whenever they are approached. Like the kid who couldn’t win in ‘the loose-loose- game’, you...
