Parliaments day of shame..!

Welcome to the lane………………………………….

Today, the president of this tiny West African country(Ghana) gave the state of the nation address, more like the state of the union address of the USA. Well I have learnt not to pay attention to such events because they make no difference to the ordinary man…this year’s state of the nation’s address was as usual presented before the nations parliament and before honorable parliamentarians-at least I thought they were honorable until today…My concern here is not about the content of the president’s speech but the conduct of our so called honorable parliamentarians.

We all know what heckling is and we see it all the time in other developed democracies….I was therefore shocked to see grownups, supposedly responsible adults who have been voted by their constituents to represent and give them a voice in the national assembly behave like silly children in the name of heckling the president, in the full view of the entire world…shouting at the top of their voices, singing and whistling at the president of the republic to go away…I find this behavior very disturbing…..what are the MPs teaching the youth of this nation? Should we ever take them seriously? Are these people fit to be called parliamentarians? I am so disappointed…I have always had my reservations about politicians but I never expected them to go this far…are these the same parliamentarians asking for an increase in their pay? Truly I think the tax payers money is being wasted on these ******* someone please tell them that the next time they decide to behave like apes, they should remember that the whole world and the youth of this nation are watching-God save us.

AFCON 2012...Updates and more......

Welcome to the lane……………..

Well I can’t say I am happy writing this post but at this moment guys you are all I have.

My team(the black stars) just lost .They lost to no other  team  than the copper bullets of Zambia...I still think it’s all a bad dream….someone please pinch me!.....A  well-organized Zambian soccer machinery finally exposed the Black stars of Ghana for what they really are…..a second best team with an over blotted ego…!  So blotted they even missed a penalty…! Yes, Ghana’s dancing striker Asamoah Gyan missed yet another penalty and Ghana paid dearly for that miss….for those of you guys with short memories….this is the same Asamoah Gyan who missed Ghana’s penalty at the 2010 world cup against Uruguay after Louis Suarez (may his soul be forever tormented...) committed that very shameful act of preventing Ghana’s winning goal by handling the ball in his own goal area….Anyway, the Zambians do deserve their win…. They played relatively well and scored the only goal of the match around the 75^th   minute after Ghana’s rock of Gibraltar john mensah was taken off with an injury…….the black stars lost another player moments after the goal through a red card offence….yes…. things really fell apart…!

Ivory Coast is through to the finals after beating the eagles of Mali 1-0

The Ivorian’s have really lived up to the tag of tournament favorites and are set to face the Zambians….will the copper bullets of Zambia hit their target…the elephants of ivory coast or will the elephants dodge the copper bullets?

The question still remains….who wins AFCON 2012……?

Proverbs brewed in the African pot !

Welcome to the Lane...!

Our elders say “a word to the wise is enough” I never understood this this statement until recently, it simply means that a fool does not heed to advise! How true….there is also a saying in Akan that goes like “akwa nyasafo ye bu nu b3 nye ka na asem(forgive me for my bad twi) this literally means that “a wise person is best advised through a proverb not a long sermon” ….no wonder many African languages are laced with  so many proverbs…from the Berber of north Africa, the Akans, Ewe, Gas, all of Ghana, the Ebo and the Yoruba of Nigeria and right down to the Zulu of south Africa, Africans employ this device to record history and pass on wisdom.

The use of proverbs in one’s speech shows ones level of command of a language. It is therefore not strange for an elder to start a conversation with a proverb pause with one and end the conversation with another. So the next time you speak with an elder pay close attention and don’t miss those snippets of wisdom brewed in the African pot.

Below is an index of proverbs taken from all over the continent…I will keep on updating this page till I get all of them here -on the lane-almost an impossibility but try I will!
