<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">ANT</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">: Youthfulness according to the ant family is the most group of
people who still have the ability to be moving up and down without much
constraints as a result of the vibrancy in their system. A youth however is
anyone who is between the ages of twelve and thirty-nine. This is our concept
of youthfulness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

socio-economic development of a nation?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Do you know why? The absence of the youth in any organization including
religious, secular, and spiritual, there is a total doom. The adults cannot do everything
by themselves without recognizing the efforts of the youth. The youth therefore
is very critical to the development of the socio-economic system of a nation. The
youth can be inspired by any group of people to pursue their cause. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

relevant in the human system in general for which they cannot be done away with
in the pursuance of the development agenda of a nation?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the youth has a lot of resources or assets that forces them to become winners
of this present generation. I hope you will let your colleagues know and fully
understand what I am going to tell because it will transform societies. It my
greatest prayer for this present generation of mankind so that we (the ants)
will not be killed by you unnecessarily. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There
is no denying the fact that the youth is the age group endowed with much and
adequate energy towards activities. The youth have this strength to pursue both
evil and good stuffs depending on the level of exposure. The way chosen by the
youth will determine the end result of the both the spiritual and the physical development
of a nation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
youth has the time at their disposal which can be corrupted or sanctified. In
fact every living thing has time at his or her disposal. Every mankind has 24
hours in a day, 365/6 in a year, 10 years in decade, and 100 years in a
generation. The entire development of the being depends also on how time is
managed by the individual creature. If the youth decides to spend five (5)
hours with the mobile a day on chatting over trivia things which will not help
develop him/her, the result is obvious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
youth also has at their disposal, the resource of the past generation’s
experience and that is greatly being underused by the youth. I said greatly underused
because there are a lot people who have passed through certain spheres of life
which the youth can tap into. This however on not the case with the present day
youth. There are so many successful people who are still living on earth today
that the youth can and should learn from. The Youth is silent and much
concerned what they will get on the internet only as well as few deceptions
from colleagues. The youth are not allowing the experienced to adequately and
efficiently impart before their day of departure comes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

youth has so many assets to their advantage but most of youth seem ignorant
about them and are wallowing about in dismay not knowing what to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The first and foremost thing to be considered is dedication. There is
inadequate dedication in the present generation. Dedication stems from passion
which means the lack of passion for a particular pursuit will result in
inadequate or even lack of passion. The first call is therefore that the youth
should be dedicated to a particular cause at a time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
next to talk about is the absence or low level of <b>humility</b> among the youth. Humility is something that lifts the
useless to the point of highly usefulness. Humility goes hand in hand with respect.
If you humble yourself under an authority, you begin to learn a lot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There
are a lot a person can learn from submission. The bible specifically points out
that <b><i>‘And
without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better’. </i></b>– Hebrew
7:7 (KJV) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
next thing to consider is <b>wisdom and understanding</b>
which has been greatly despised by many people in this our time. Wisdom is the
ability to know what to do while understanding is the ability to know how to do
what. Wisdom is a necessity for the uplift of a person and understanding is
what keeps a person in wisdom. How to get wisdom begins with the fear of the
LORD.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your “manufacturer”, Creator, God and love Him<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As
a mankind, you need to be fully aware of your creator and consistently &
persistently honour HIM in all you do, obeying all instructions He has given
you. For instance, The Lord has asked us to study the book of the law day and
night so that we will be careful to do everything written in the books. He alone
knows what lies in the earth for us. He said he has plans for our good. Let’s
link up with the creator. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Knowing
your creator is not enough for you to be successful. You need to love HIM with your
being thus body, soul and mind. You cannot love God half way and make it
through in life. HE made your entire system and He knows your components. He
knows how to turn things to make it better for your life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Know
your purpose in life <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
next thing I suggest you take zealously is to identify your unique purpose for
being on earth. Until you identify your unique purpose in life, you cannot
achieve anything not to talk of a success. You know your purpose, then you can
be able to unleash it to the glory of your manufacturer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Identify
your potentials<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Knowing
your purpose is not enough for you to be successful. To be successful, you need
to spend time to identify your potentials. Your potentials are the inherent
abilities which are not tapped yet. You need to really know what you are
naturally endowed with and develop it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Know
your vision and mission<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Knowing
ones vision is very crucial thing every entity would have to pursue. I don’t
want to complicate any definition of vision but in simple terms, vision is
where you want to be in the next ten years, twenty years and so on. Your
mission is how you want to get there thus the strategies you will deplore to
get there. An instance I will give you is from my personal experience. We the
ant family from time to time set visions and missions ahead of us to be
successful and wealthy. That is why we go about gathering wealth whenever the
opportunity comes our way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Be
guided and guarded<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
next thing is that you need to be guided and guarded by someone who has been to
where you want to get to. Being guided means being given the pathways to
wherever you desire to get to and being guarded means to be given the needed protection
to aid your journey into the desired place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I
am talking about mentorship here my dear friend. Until you allow yourself to be
guided by someone either directly or indirectly, you will continue roaming
about in life. You might eventually get to the Promised Land but you would have
wasted much time unnecessarily. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In
this course of mentorship, you need to be very humble in order learn a lot from
you mentor. Without humility, the lesser cannot receive from the greater. The
next thing is that you must be able to honour your mentor in your heart first
before any other form of honouring. This will pave way for you get to the top.
Chinua Achebe once said “a man who pays respect for the great paves the way for
his own greatness.” Every great and successful man have a greater person he
looked up to for guiding and guarding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Focus
on the Goal<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Another
thing is that everything you want to succeed in must be given the needed
attention and focus. There are so many things in the earth realm now and there
is the need to choose a path to focus on at a time. If you need to succeed for
a thing, you need to sacrifice all things for it. Focus means that there are a
lot of options but you go for a particular one. Every great man is known for a
thing and that is why when there is a mention of Mark Zuckerberg, he associated
with Facebook, the ant and Solomon comes with wisdom. If Elijah is mentioned,
the prophetic come to mind respectively. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It’s been a week now
since I wrote my first letter to you titled ‘a letter to my v-wife’. I hope you
have received and read it as well as digesting it appropriately. I hope also to
receive a reply from you as soon as you may reply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This week, I want to
bring to your notice the woman I see in you thus the woman I envision to be my perfect
helpmate, better half, the bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">You will bear with me
that marriage is a sacred thing and therefore must be treated as such without
any compromise to worldly standards. The first attribute in you as my visionary
wife is the <b><i>God-fearing</i></b> factor without any blemish. The Lord has in His
words said so many times that He prospers those who fear Him. Since I see a
glorious union between us, I see no other woman than you, who has dedicated
your entire life to honour the will of God and diligently obey His commands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It is an undeniable
fact and truth that marriage makes two people become one just like you and I shall
become one day after evacuating from my parent’s roof. Due to this I see a <b><i>trustworthy</i>
</b>woman in you. I see a woman of great integrity. What is there more for a
marriage which lacks trust from both the man and the woman? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">In built in you as my
visionary wife, is a woman full of <b><i>innovation</i></b> to build our home. There
is no doubt that a home is built by a woman but the raw materials are largely
provided by the man of the house. I know that without your innovation there
will be chaos in the home. I know also by now that you have gathered much
experience to accompany the in-built innovation. I envision a woman who makes
sure that everything is intact in the home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The above doesn’t mean
I am going to allow you to bear the pains of making a good home all alone. You
know that I have my part to play – this is a real man you know. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I also see a <b><i>beautiful
woman inside-out</i></b> of you. If I say beauty, it doesn’t necessary mean your
face is well-organised or well-shaped neither am I talking about your uniquely
made nose, attractive lips and the splendid V-shape. All the above and many
more are useless if your morals are below the belt. A woman who knows how to
greet, knows how to use ‘please’, ‘thank you’, ‘I’m sorry’, and a woman who
values people is who I am talking about. The other features are addendum but in
our current situation, many young people assumes the otherwise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I perceive a <b><i>strong
and energetic </i></b>as well as <b><i>hardworking</i></b> woman in you my dear. In
all spheres and standards, I can see you soaring higher and making exploits for
God and country. To me, a woman is stronger than a man spiritually, mentally
and emotionally (it is open to argument though). It is a woman who can bring a
King or a President to his knees. I believe you understand this very well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">My Vision, I see in you
a woman who <b><i>genuinely loves</i></b> people. A person who truly loves does all it
takes to keep a good union no matter the circumstances. I see you not abstaining
from helping the poor and needy in and around you. May the Lord bless you and also
bless our children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

these traits shall not depart from you until we meet and will even grow higher

must not associate with people who will dilute these powerful features you
possess. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

escaped my ink. You are a woman who is full of wise sayings and every word from

<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It so happened that a guy met a lady who he “so
loved” and wanted to marry her after series of interactions as well as a number
of visits. The lady was very beautiful and exhibited a respectful attitude
towards the guy, a few friends and family members of the guy she was privileged
to meet. Everything was convincing that a happy home was assured. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

wonderful honeymoon. Just two months into the marriage, the so called beautiful
lady became very ugly as she started bringing out her real self. It is said that
a character is like a pregnancy, it will surely come out no matter the
suppression. It is just a matter of time. Insults upon insults, unfaithfulness
upon unfaithfulness, and disrespect upon disrespects were packaged for this
guy. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

the guy had to apply for divorce and she gladly accepted that offer too - no
regrets. As we speak now, she has been unmarried for about three years now. You
may ask about the guy. He is happily married to a virtuous woman and blessed with
two children and still counting.</span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-72xJxPZ4JkQ/V00RHGZb1NI/AAAAAAAADIU/wWOoEbz1oSEfDG9JUdWZVSNdokT2ame4wCKgB/s1600/ant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-72xJxPZ4JkQ/V00RHGZb1NI/AAAAAAAADIU/wWOoEbz1oSEfDG9JUdWZVSNdokT2ame4wCKgB/s400/ant.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The conversation still continued
on for a long time. As my curiosity erected its pole on the citadel of wisdom (the ant),
I continued to dig deeper than before. Relax and enjoy the continuation of the
conversation as you pick up some vital information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">JKS</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">: My loyal friend, you've been talking about knowing the times and
season as well as knowing what to do. How do I know the times and season?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">ANT</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">: That's a worthy question. You must ask the how of a thing if you
do not understand it. In order to know the times and seasons in life thus both spiritually
and physically, it is a must to know these things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Observation</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">. For a person to discern or
understand the times and season, you must observe the changes that occur in
life. The first timing identified in the scriptures was mentioned in Genesis
1:5 which reads "<i>And God called the
light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there
was morning, one day</i>."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">So as an individual, you must know
that there is morning and that there is also evening. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">By this, let me bring to your
notice, the definition of a MAN.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">M -
Morning <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">A -
Afternoon<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">N - Night<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">So you see from this that man as
an entity is structured into seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You must therefore observe and
realize the season in which you are currently and the one you are about to
enter so as to act accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Ask</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">. Another thing to do when you
want to know seasons is to ask those who may have discovered the season and
time of existence. The first person to ask such a question is your maker, the
Lord Almighty. He alone knows the seasons
that have past, those that we are in currently in and those that are to come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You can also ask your fellow
humans who have advanced in the knowledge of times and seasons in life. It is
because we (ants) are able to ask questions that is why we understand the times
and seasons and act accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Read wide</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">. In order to enhance your
knowledge of times and season, it is a requirement to read and enlarge your
scope of understanding of the times and seasons like children of Issachar in
the scripters. I will say here that the hatred for reading in the love for
ignorance which paves way for exploitation and deception both spiritually and
physically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Another thing is <b><i>record
keeping or writing</i></b>. You must note and write down notable events that
happen in and around your life. This will help to appreciate the happenings of
event which will eventually give you urge over time and seasons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">JKS</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">: Ok! [Nodding the head slowly up and down]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

seasons but events usually happen in the spiritual realm before it manifests in
the physical world or realm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Physically, you must be sound in
season and times. There are times that it only rains and at times that the sun
shines almost always. We call this rainy or wet season and the sunny or dry
season respectfully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

physical realm is the mid-night. Mid-night is the time when supernatural gates
are opened. It is therefore incumbent on the individual to make good use of
that time for a good cause. Most evil things happen at midnight and most
breakthroughs happen at midnight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

depending on your position, you might benefit or be disadvantaged. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Asking of how, during this time, a
new day in born and utterances in the spirits arena are made by the heavenly
forces. They determine what should happen in the new day that had been birthed.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You can do more reading and
research on timing and seasons. It will assist you a lot in life’s expedition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dear V-WIFE, <br />
<br />
I believe that the Lord is being good to you wherever you are now just like He is doing to me. It has taken too much a time to send you these words because I had the impression that it will be useless thinking that you might not receive it or you might receive it late. <br />
<br />
This day as I have gotten the opportunity to send you these words from under the summer hut in my humble abode, I want to make the most out of it.<br />
<br />
I want officially introduce myself to you as you may not have seen me not to talk of knowing me. I hope you are aware that there is a difference between seeing and knowing someone. <br />
<br />
<br />
Seeing someone means that you have physically spotted him or her with your eyes and recognized his or her physique. Knowing a person on the other hand is being abreast with the inner features or characteristics that makes up the person.<br />
<br />
Even though you have not seen me, I think it is good you know me beforehand so that you won’t struggle when you happen to see me eventually. This however doesn’t negate the fact that you have to do your own observations and draw your own conclusions. I often struggle to really describe myself to people but for your sake, I will do that as much as I can.<br />
<br />
When you check my Facebook bio, it reads <i><b>CHRIST-focused|| Analytical|| Creative|| Trustworthy|| Disciplined|| Friendly|| THINK tank</b></i>. This is me in few words but with in-depth details. I will attempt to give a summary. <br />
If you see CHRIST-focused, it simply means that Christ is the director of my life and nothing else takes His place. Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life and my personal savior. I fear the Lord with love but not with fear because that won’t qualify for fear of the Lord. May be something else!<br />
<br />
<b><i>Analytical</i></b> in the Facebook bio is simply exposing my critical thinking ability. By this, it simply means I don’t take information without looking at both sides and the middle lane. I look at things from all perspectives looking at the pros and cons.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Trustworthiness</b></i> is drawing attention to the fact that I believe in and uphold the quality of integrity. I am very cautious when it comes to the issues of trust. Trust I believe is built on integrity. A man who disbelieves in trust in every aspect of life is dangerous to dwell with. You have to tell your friends this thing because many of them are being deceived with sweet words and being taken for granted.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Creativity</i></b> is manly you know! I am person who believes in creativity (birthing ideas into reality) and also manifest its features throughout my everyday life. It is a good thing to be creative in life because it makes you stand on top. If by chance, someone happens to create the thing, you have to quickly support so far as it in line with your interest and build on it if possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Disciplined</i></b> in my Facebook bio does not end there as a word because I have gone through disciplining hands before getting to this stage in life. A disciplined person is a person with principles and doesn’t seek to compromise in anyway. <br />
<br />
The <i><b>Friendly</b></i> aspect of me explains my mingling ability. I am able to easily make friends with people but not recklessly. This is very crucial because in life, you do not know the one who will help you just like you do not know the one who will pull you down. Even as I am friendly, I cannot pinpoint that this fellow is my best friend though. Best friends are very hard to come by but there is a way to create a sincere one. Check what the bible says about unfriendly people in Proverbs 18:1.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>THINK tank</i></b> simply exposes my aspect of thinking thus looking beyond imaginations or the ‘now part’ of life. I want to win as well be successful in life and that is why I think. Bishop Gideon Titi-Offei of Sheepfold Ministry in Accra, Ghana has a saying that “if you want to win, don’t worry about tomorrow, THINK about tomorrow. <br />
<br />
A lot of people in this day and age refuse to think before proposing to ladies and most ladies also do not think before saying yes or no. My V-Wife, please if I say I love you, think about it thoroughly and examine yourself, myself and ourselves several times before you say ‘I love you too’. This is wisdom. <br />
<br />
<br />
All I want to express in this letter is that please you have to know the person you might want be dating even if I don’t happen to meet you in due time. Don’t just say YES or NO for saying sake because it has the tendency of making or unmaking your future home. <br />
<br />
<br />
But I believe that we shall meet soonest and the LORD shall bless our home with true love, happiness and sustainable prosperity. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Yours dearly</i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">When
I discovered in the bible that the ant is a citadel of wisdom, I decided to

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I
decided to befriend the ant instead of going to him for once or occasionally
because it is said that ‘show me your friend and I will show you your
character. And I personally believe that the place where your friend’s sandals is
found, yours has a higher probability of being found at the same place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">So
I went to the ant in the anthill at Dabala in the South Tongu Constituency of
the Volta Region in my quest to learn from the ant as the bible instructs me in
Proverbs 6:6 “<i>Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise”.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">My
new friend, the ant was very welcoming when she noticed my presence. She gave
me a warm welcome as she embraced me with true love (I could feel it) and
sincerity – which are subsiding in our days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

have more teachable spirit and ask the right questions. Ask questions because I
may not be able to say everything unless you point it out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">First, I want to describe the ant family to you. The
ant family is a group that knows and understand the times and seasons like the
children of Issachar in 1 Chronicles 12:32. For you to succeed in life, there
is the greater task of identifying and understanding the times and seasons in
life. You must also know what to do in each season that exists. Remember, there
are times and seasons in your life so far as you can see day and night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It is therefore very significant for every
success-oriented person to be conversant with times and season both spiritually
and physically in order not to be cheated. Preparation heralds success.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Another significant thing is that you mustn’t just
know the times and seasons that there are. You must take certain actions. This
is why you humans will mostly see my family (ants) almost always in a very busy
mood trying to gather stuffs (food, wealth and many others) during the dry
seasons. It is because we know that the season and know what to do in each
season. In the dry season, we go indoors and celebrate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">JKS</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">: My good friend, you are opening my closed eyes
widely already. I want to ask this “Are you all ants the same in terms of the
knowledge of the seasons and times? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">ANT</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">: Just like you are aware, all the human hands are
not the same. There are some lazy ants also who know the times and seasons, know
what to do but refuse to take action. Sometimes you see very few ants in the
rainy season trying to get food to eat. They didn’t make hay while the sun was
shining bright. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

decide to take no action. God bless you for this enlightenment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Now I would want you to throw more light on some
core areas in a person’s life: spiritual, physical, emotional, mental,
finances, in a nutshell, personal development. I love to help people develop
but I also you can’t give a person what you do not have. In effect, if I am not
well developed, I can’t help others to develop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

every detail available with me to you appropriately. Just be focused and don’t
be distracted by any noise or barrier to communication. I am very glad that you
are recording every detail. You are blessed already. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Now let me say that, I was reading a book by one
great teacher, Robert Kiyosaki titled “Rich Dad’s Cash Flow Quadrant”. In the
book, he said that every human has to develop in four areas before becoming
successful; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual development. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>JKS</b>: So you still read books upon all the wisdom
recommended by the LORD himself? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>ANT</b>: Yes I do read books because I am wise, in fact
we all read. My children started reading voluminous books of wisdom from
infancy. By the age of 9years, they write auto-biography bringing together all
the knowledge acquired from the books read, experiences encountered. They do
write in their leisure time during the rainy seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

I just learnt that time flies so so much.<br />
<br />
<br />
I learnt a number of things coupled with so many experiences. The very first of this lessons is that God has been good to us all but the enemy will always try to operate in God's kingdom. I Love The Family of Campus Christian Family. Even though we met only three days in a week, I have gained alot of spiritual, emotional, physical and mental developments.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't think all my experiences can be typed but those that can be remembered shall be duly registered.<br />
<br />
I learnt alot about human beings. Human beings are not well understood but there are some things that are general. People are very dynamic. I have personally seen friends who changed characters within a space of a semester thus 3 months. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have learnt how to create both enemies and friends. This has been very helpful and I know it will be very helpful in life. I know how to transform enemies into friends and how to keep friendship as well as how to collapse friendship. It makes me a tough person.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aside my normal academic works, I have learnt that it is not only about the books recommended in the lecture halls but personal research counts a lot. Attending or participating in extra curricular activities helps open up your mind just like it did for me. I'm blessed with a lot experiences and lessons.<br />
I have learnt and appreciated that everyone has a taste or interest. Just allow them to enjoy from their choices. I've met people who love the beach. Those who love the club. Those who like the educative programs and all manner of people.<br />
<br />
I've met people who have transformed from simple people to complex individuals, good to bad, bad to good, dull to smart, smart to dull, smart to smarter, quite to loud, loud to silence, girls to ladies, boys to gentlemen and many others but all the same there have been massive transformations.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the course of these four years, I've learnt lessons from group works, assignments and many other engagements. Those who won't partake in the work but would love to enjoy the fruit of the work. They were allowed because we recognized we are in a new environment but not the SHS. <br />
<br />
People who appointed themselves leaders of groups and misappropriated funds and went scot free. <br />
<br />
<br />
My four-year stay in GIJ has thought me a lot of life's lessons. I've seen and heard people who spent hundreds cedis a week and those who spent same for two weeks, three weeks and even a month. This underscores the fact that all hands are not equal. <br />
<br />
<br />
In all this I'm highly delighted I met alot of people whom I've learnt alot from but may be they don't know they've imparted on me.<br />
<br />
Mentioning names will not make me fair because the number is great, the list is tall and I have even lost count.<br />
<br />
<br />
I met some good and genuine people very early and I met some very late. Such is life but I intend to keep all valuable friends as well as acquaintances. <br />
God bless them all.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is just but a few lessons I can recall right now as I type this on 9th May, 2016. <br />
We wrote my last paper on 15th May, 2016. Someway somehow, the Lord my God has seen us through to the end of this 4-year journey and I trust His word in Philippians 1:6 that we shall all meet later in the year to receive our crowns.<br />
<br />
<br />
May the good Lord and King help us all to become great people in life populating His kingdom with genuine hearts of worship.<br />
We shall meet in life again. See you at the top.<br />
<br />
<br />
God bless 2016 batch!<br />
God bless GIJ!<br />
God bless Ghana !<br />
God bless Africa !Julius K.

Technical School (Dastech) returns home this weekend with lots of engaging
events for students. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
2012 batch of the school are set to storm the school with a two day event to
commemorate the homecoming event under the theme <b><i>“Making Education My Priority
Whilst Still in School”. </i></b>This homecoming event has been scheduled to
come off this Friday, 22nd and Saturday 23rd April, 2016.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Speaking
to the Senior Prefect for the year group, Mr Emmanuel Tordzro he revealed to the media that they deem it fit to help the school in diverse
ways but for now, through the purchase of a stand-by generator and also
empowering the students as well as sharing experiences with them.<b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This
event will be a historical event since it the first time a year group have
returned home in a short time period of four years to at least mingle with
their younger ones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Meanwhile,
the Member of Parliament for the South Tongu Constituency, Hon. Kobla Mensah
Woyomeh has endorsed this homecoming stating that having the mindset to even go
back to your school is a sign of responsibility. "This shows that when you
get, you will give back society". The MP opined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On
preparations, the Senior Prefect, Mr Tordzro mentioned that they are far ready
for the event “even though the monetary aspect is not moving as expected.” He
was however optimistic that “with regards to organization, I may say we are on
track”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The
activities for the event have been listed as Debate, Motivational Speeches from
guest speakers, Drama and song ministrations as well for the first day. The
second day according activities are games and refreshment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Mr
Tordzro is therefore calling on all old Students of Dabala Senior High
Technical School and all interested parties from far and near to join in making
this history on this coming Friday and Saturday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A once

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Prestea, the
town being used as a case study in this write up, is predominantly a
mining community in Ghana located in the Prestea-Huni Valley District Assembly
of the Western Region.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As Mr.
Dominic Nyame – Secretary General of a community based pressure group by name Concerned
Citizens Association of Prestea (CoCAP) - narrated the history of the Prestea
Township which has virtually become like a rural community with an untarred road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

history of Ghana for its mineral resource endowment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It came to pass that in
the early years, there was massive mining activities but not on the surface of the earth. Underground mining was the order of the day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Everything was moving on well and every social amenity to make life comfortable
was available in Prestea. “If you come to Prestea, then you had come to

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr. Nyame
recalled that it was in the 1980’s when the falling of the world gold price propelled
the Government of Ghana to introduce what was known to them as Economic Recovery Program
(ERP). This was however followed by retrenchment which laid off a lot of the indigenes who largely made up the unskilled
labor force for the mining companies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">According to
Mr. Nyame, the fall in price of gold again in 1992 made room for the
establishment a Divestiture Implementation Committee by the Government of Ghana. This committee saw to it that the mining sites were transferred to 'potential investors' in the economy of Ghana.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When the
divestiture committee was introduced, they sold the mining area to the mining
company called Bandex who were mining underground until a decline in gold price
changed their style of operation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

surface – something which the entire community protested against- because they claimed underground mining was too expensive for the company to make profits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The people
whose inhabitant was about to be destroyed stood up to protest greatly but
whether it ended successfully is noting to hide considering the fruit it is yielding.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This was in 1999, a year to an election for the people of Ghana to make decisions as to who
should lead the nation for the next four years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R6vwmEFX7b0/VWDyy0WiCaI/AAAAAAAAC24/ZyLzkSQM6mo/s1600/GIJ%2BLEVEL%2B400%2B20150523_210826.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R6vwmEFX7b0/VWDyy0WiCaI/AAAAAAAAC24/ZyLzkSQM6mo/s200/GIJ%2BLEVEL%2B400%2B20150523_210826.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Finally, the level 300 journey has ended and we are now successfully in Level 400. This journey can certainly not be described as easy one. As we move ahead, it gets tougher but God dey, we dey.<br />
<br />
On the way, there have been some shortfalls which cannot be elaborated fully here but what I know is that the Lord has kept me safely through out all this while.<br />
<br />
My first and foremost thanks will go to the Almigthy God for the love and compassion that He has shown to me. Without the grace and mercies of the Lord, I don't know where me and my mates would have been.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_tFZFbYy6Ew/VWD7BA3J7QI/AAAAAAAAC3I/dj0dp0oxLKc/s1600/FB_IMG_1432418685249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_tFZFbYy6Ew/VWD7BA3J7QI/AAAAAAAAC3I/dj0dp0oxLKc/s320/FB_IMG_1432418685249.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>
I remember the countless number of days that I have to compulsorily do something out of will because there is probably no other option. I love you Lord. Take glory Father, take glory Son, take glory Holy Spirit.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I want to use this opportunity to thank all my lecturers who have spent their times to impact on me in this level in my academic journey.<br />
<br />
Dr.Wilberforce Dzisah(Rector), Mr. Tanko Musah Zakaria, Mr. Carlton Coffie, Mr. Karl Tuffour, Dr. Hammond, Mr. Baidoo Addo, Dr. Ebow Afful are all gallant who have taken me through this level.<br />
<br />
Without these men, I wouldn't have known anything in this level. My memory would have remained the same or even depreciated.<br />
<br />
My next thanks go to all those who have in one way or the other contributed to my promotion to the next level. I am thankful to all those who have availed themselves for me to tap from their knowledge. I really appreciate.<br />
<br />
It was tough and sometimes tougher than usual especially with the group projects that took most of our time last semester. <br />
<br />
I want to on this note congratulate my noble group members, (chinchinians) of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ). [Bernice Alorgbe, Jean-Marie Nabare, Eugenia Kumi Akorfa, Stella Adobor, Leonora Amoukor Akpey and Sebastian Magnus Commey], Felicity Mensah, Florence Nzeh, Evelyn Yangnuu, Priscilla Osei and Mr. David Collins Appianing are my wonderful group members who have played active role in my 'epistemology'.<br />
<br />
Although this semester wasn't as busy as last semester, we cannot afford to forget the wonderful moments we had on "whatsapp", disagreeing to agree on various topics. Thank you so much and God richly bless you.<br />
<br />
I want to also use this opportunity to congratulate my senior men and women who have cross over the border of degree program today. I know how stressful it has been but the Lord who began will always bring it to an end.<br />
<br />
You are now going into the world of work. Please let us feel and hear your presence in our society and change makers that our society needs today. Affect our society positively with what you have attained from the various tertiary institutions.<br />
Go and make your light so shine in all the earth.<br />
<br />

Once again, I am thankful to all those who have contributed in one way or the other to aid my ushering into the final year at the Ghana Institute of Journalism. It is my prayer that the Lord will keep us all grant us the grace to a successful end God willing next year.<br />

ABSTRACT<br />
This paper attempts to provide a subtle account of how political communication has developed in Ghana over the years from the early days of democracy till currently. It touches briefly on key concepts and strategies that have been adopted to get the attention and approval of the electorate as well as influential individuals and organizations in the democratic setting. With the fact that political communication is set against democracy, the paper will not consider military regime years. It will elaborate on how the concept has been understood by political players within this time frame.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
INTRODUCTION<br />
Political communication is an exceptionally rich, complex, fluid and important sub-field among those that populate the overall field of communications studies. As Jack McLeod and his colleagues (McLeod, Kosicki & McLeod, 2010) have often stressed, political communication is eminently a multi-level field.<br />
At its simplest, it links political culture, political actors, media organizations, including the roles played by political journalists within them, and bodies of increasingly heterogeneous and varyingly involved citizens.<br />
Over the past couple of decades, political communication has undergone dramatic changes, which are believed to have far-reaching consequences for the way in which democratic politics works. Never before have politicians put as much effort, resources and sophistication into communicating with citizens as today. The traditional mass media – broadcasting and the printed press – are equally confronted with a shrinking and increasingly fragmented audience, whose volatile tastes and interests make it ever more difficult for the media to secure their survival.<br />
The changes in contemporary political communication can be understood as taking place in two distinct, albeit closely interrelated dimensions. The horizontal dimension describes the relationship between politicians and the media – that is, the political communication elites who together, but also in competition with each other, are creating and disseminating political messages for mass consumption. The vertical dimension denotes the interaction between the two sets of political communication elites on the one hand, and the citizens as the ultimate addressee of these messages on the other. Together these two dimensions of change encompass the triangular relationship between political actors, the media and the audience that has been described within the social and institutional space of political communication (Blumler & Gurevitch, 1995).<br />
<br />
POLITICAL COMMUNCATION (BRIEF HISTORY)<br />
With the invention of the printing press and the spread of print shops throughout Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, a technical possibility emerged for expanding political communication that was not exclusively elite communication. But printed news and political opinion remained largely within the realm of elite communication until the mid-1700s, later in many countries. Church and state supervision of printers tried to keep pace with the spread of new technology. Only when representative government became institutionalized did political communications move from predominantly elite communications to the hegemonic and petitionary forms of communication that link governors and the governed. <br />
Representative government developed in England and in the American colonies in the 1600s, but even there, it took another century to establish the principle that the public had the right to know what the legislature was doing.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
WHAT REALLY IS POLITICAL COMMUNICATION?<br />
Politics, in the broadest sense, is the activity through which people make, preserve and amend the general rules under which they live. <br />
Communication on the other hand can be defined as the process of transmitting information and common understanding from one person to another.<br />
Political communications therefore is an interactive process concerning the transmission of information among politicians, the news media and the public. <br />
The process operates down-wards from governing institutions towards citizens, horizontally in linkages among political actors, and also upwards from public opinion towards authorities. It deals with the production, dissemination, processing and effect of communication both through media and interpersonally within a political context.<br />
Franklin (1995) points out the broadness of character, the range and the lack of clarity of what falls into the concept of political communication. Franklin, in an effort, to operationalize this vast field, provides the following, very comprehensive and detailed, definition.<br />
“The field of political communication studies the interactions between media and political systems, locally, nationally, and internationally” (p. 225). Franklin argues that political communication focuses on the analysis of:<br />
a) The political content of the media<br />
b) The actors and agencies involved in the production of that content<br />
c) The impact of political media content on the audience and/or on policy<br />
d) The impact of the political system on the media system<br />
e) The impact of the media system on the political system development<br />
Political communications has therefore always been central to the electoral and policy making process but in the last decade certain important structural developments have fundamentally altered this process, particularly changing trends in the mass media moving from the traditional world of newspapers, radio and television broadcasting towards the Internet.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
ELEMENTS IN THE POLITICAL COMMUNICATION PROCESS<br />
1. POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS<br />
Made up of political actors who are narrowly defined as those individuals who aspire, through organizational and institutional means, to influence the decision-making process . They may seek to do this by attaining institutional political power, in government or constituent assemblies, through which preferred policies can be implemented. If in opposition their objectives will be to obstruct existing power-holders, and have them replaced by alternatives.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
•Political Parties, defined as aggregates of more or less like-minded individuals, who come together within an agreed organizational and ideological structure to pursue common goals. These goals will reflect the party’s underlying value system, or ideology.<br />
•Public organizations; they include trade unions, consumer groups, professional associations. They are united by some common feature of their members’ situation which makes it advantageous to combine, such as work problems (trade unions), or the weakness of the individual citizen in the face of large corporations (consumer groups). In such organizations individuals come together not just to help each other in the resolution of practical problems associated with their common situation, but to campaign for change or to raise the public profile of a particular problem, often through enlisting the help of elected politicians.<br />
Others include pressure groups, governments and terrorist organizations.<br />
2. AUDIENCE <br />
The second key element in the political communication process is the AUDIENCE. The purpose of all this communication is to persuade, And the target of this persuasion is the audience, without which no political message can have any relevance.<br />
3. MEDIA<br />
The MEDIA, today comprise print, broadcasting and online channels. In democratic political systems the media function both as transmitters of political communication which originates outside the media organisation itself, and as senders of political messages constructed by journalists and other producers such as bloggers. The role of the media in both respects is therefore crucial.<br />
POLITICAL COMMUNICATION IN GHANA; HOW IT ALL BEGAN<br />
‘Politicians in Ghana have always communicated to electorates in very traditional ways by attending gatherings such as funerals, durbars, churches, parties, and organizing rallies in addition to making use of the traditional media i.e radio, television and newspapers.’ (Mr. Siaw ,General Secretary, , Progressive People’s Party). However, the space for political discourse was limited due to military insurgencies and inadequate media platforms, despite these flaws, certain political activists such as PAV Ansah wrote in innuendo fashion at the time.<br />
The culture of silence was broken in the mid-90s, upon the liberalization of the airwaves.<br />
The practice of political communication therefore became highly evident since the return to democratic rule in 1992, and gained prominence after the 2000 presidential and parliamentary elections.<br />
The practice can be examined in two folds; namely political communications with regards to electioneering campaigns by different political parties and political communication with reference to government communication.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
CHANGING TRENDS IN GHANAIAN POLITICAL COMMUNICATION LANDSCAPE<br />
In order to adequately fulfill the requirements of the research question, the following tools were used and findings have been stipulated.<br />
METHODOLOGY<br />
To have adequate information and thorough analysis of the demands of the question, the group employed unstructured interview and literature search as research tools in gathering information.<br />
•Unstructured interview<br />
An interview was conducted at the office of the Progressive People’s Party and our respondents were the General Secretary of the party, Mr. Asamoah Siaw and a member of the communications team, Mr. Seth Hammond.<br />
•Literature search<br />
Before and during compilation of this document, the group read and reviewed works largely on the internet and ‘Introduction to Political Communication’, a book by Brian McNair.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
FINDINGS<br />
Our findings revealed that<br />
•Political communication existed in Ghanaian political landscape but was not clearly structured and defined<br />
Political communication before the era of the print media was done in many forms in the country among the governors, the governors to the governed, the governed to the governors and also between the governed themselves. <br />
•The electronic era saw the rise of TV, mobile phones and radio which moved political communication to different height. This era provided the Top-Down approach where people who had access to the media contributed to political discuss. It also gave political activists the opportunity to cover wide range of people at a particular time. Quiet recently, political activists provided short codes where people can access information about their political party, ideology and policies. <br />
•It is time bound. Space and time allocation makes it impossible for more people to contribute to the political discourse. <br />
•The level of illiteracy in Ghana makes the print media a challenge for effective political communication with the masses<br />
The rise of the internet has also changed the direction and scope of political communication.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
LIMITATIONS<br />
•Inadequate information on changing trend of Ghana’s political communication landscape in books and on the internet<br />
• Bias by the PPP in relaying information because they are in opposition.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
TOOLS/ TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR THE CHANGE IN TRENDS.<br />
News media organizations, political campaigns, and interest groups, as well as the tools and techniques they use to communicate with citizens, have changed. Political parties and politicians now have major interest in their electorates hence their communication is largely targeted at reaching them, getting their views and forming policies based partly on those gathered views.<br />
This has brought about the increasing need to employ tools such as public relation tools, advertising, spin doctrine, political marketing and the use of social media for effective communication. The following techniques are being employed when undertaking political communication in Ghana today, thereby accounting for the changing trends;<br />
First we will examine the trends with regards to elections and subsequently political communication in respect of government communication.<br />
INTERNET/SOCIAL MEDIA<br />
The rise of the internet and associated digital technologies and social practices is only one of the more visible manifestations of these changes. Social media like Facebook and LinkedIn has created a platform for political parties and politicians to engage their audience in a more closely related environment. With this medium, politicians and political parties are able to form an opinion of their electorates and respond to them to keep a close relationship. For example, the Progressive People’s Party , use the social media because, according to them, the youths who form a greater portion of the population use the social media on a daily basis. The PPP although forms one of the smallest parties in Ghana, has a Facebook page with a total of 24,643 followers. <br />
POLITICAL ADVERTISING<br />
Bolland defines advertising as the ‘paid placement of organizational messages<br />
in the media’ (1989, p. 10).4 Political advertising therefore, in the strict sense,<br />
refers to the purchase and use of advertising space, paid for at commercial<br />
rates, in order to transmit political messages to a mass audience. The media<br />
used for this purpose may include cinema, the press, radio, television and the internet. In recent times, the use of below the line form of advertising is used. For example, billboards. This was evident during the 2012 general elections as the various political parties advertised themselves and their messages on radio, television and billboards and sometimes through the use of celebrities, something prior to this era was non-existent. . Of course, as in the world of commerce, the advertisement does not merely inform individuals in society about the choices available to them as political consumers. They are also designed to persuade<br />
POLITICAL PUBLIC RELATIONS<br />
Undoubtedly, image is perceived to be more important than it once was. Political public relations therefore reinforce existing political attitudes and behavior patterns. This is achieved through the following means such as media management. This can be defined as those activities designed to tap into the needs and demands of the modern media and thus maximize politicians’ access to, and exposure in, free media. These activities chiefly comprise the manufacture of media-friendly events which will tend to attract the attention of media gate-keepers, all other things being equal, and to keep public awareness of the party high.<br />
Secondly, political communicators also employ image-management in their practice of political public relations: on the one hand, the personal image of the individual politician, and how it can be molded and shaped to suit organizational goals; and on the other, the image of the political organization. It includes such matters as the design of a corporate logo (a party’s symbol); the language used during political interviews and in manifestos; and the general work of a party when it campaigns in the public sphere. For example President John Dramani Mahama’s image during the campaign was purported to be a youthful one and the NDC party thought to be a populist one.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
POLITICAL MARKETING<br />
This is also another technique that has accounted for the changing trend in the Ghanaian political communication landscape in recent years.<br />
Ghanaian political parties use the concept of marketing especially the four Ps of marketing to effectively reach their audience. They treat their policies and party images as the first P- Product where a lot of work has to go into proposing and bringing out their policies. The second P of marketing that is Promotion, involves politicians strategic promotional tools (largely advertising) to communicate to their customers (party supporters and electorates).<br />
Unlike previous years, political communicators now see their audiences as consumers with needs that need to be satisfied and therefore aim at satisfying them through various ways. Parties have further shifted to door to door campaigning of their products(policies) in order to get closer to the masses.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGNING<br />
Political parties now spend large sums of money and strategies into campaigns so that their messages will go down well with the electorates. This is not to talk of propaganda secretaries of political parties, and several other executive members who may speak to policy issues when the need arises.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
At the Government communication level, there appears to be a growing sensitivity to political communication in this country: specifically the norms of communication, or standards of propriety in speech comportment. There is a collective realization that the spoken word may have done a lot to shape our political fortunes.<br />
The politics of expediency becomes more pronounced by multiple voices that seek to shed light on public policy or public assertions by a President.<br />
Besides this, however, there may be specially appointed government and presidential spokesmen, and presidential aides whose schedules and responsibilities are to represent government on media platforms. They are sometimes known as directors of communication, press secretaries, press liaison officers, presidential spokesmen, etc. Also there is an emerging trend is the position of spokesman for the vice president, (which appears to be a novelty).<br />
Again, regardless of the channel or original medium of the discourse, public officials may momentarily switch codes and insert a local idiom, sometimes followed by an instant translation where deemed necessary by the speaker. Devices like proverbs, aphorisms, local metaphors, allegories constitute an enormous rhetorical capital available to public officials representing ordinary people.<br />
The trend of public communication described above appeared in the late President Mill’s speech, after he articulated the Dzi wo Fie Asem adage, which remained a major topic in domestic and foreign affairs. The proverb and its interpretations had broader implications for political communication. It touched on the general principles of political persuasion, aesthetics of indigenous rhetoric, the framing of foreign policy as well as the political exploitation of ambiguity in proverb meaning.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
CONCLUSION<br />
The return to constitutional governance in 1992 helped to pave way for democratic practice, which was further enhanced by the liberation of the media landscape in Ghana, enabling greater popular participation in governance. But it also gave the broad masses of people greater access to the governance apparatus, as well as government functionaries.<br />
The creation of an open interface between Government and the people has promoted strategies of communication that are in keeping with local norms and aesthetics. It has enabled public officers to position themselves through speaking, in ways that simulate or signal solidarity with the broad masses of people.<br />
Although the phase of political communication has changed in Ghana, critics have argued that the system is being polluted with a swath of ill-prepared spokesmen and communication functionaries (official and unofficial) who unleash a Babel of tongues at the least opportunity, and end up polluting public space, shedding more heat than light on party as well as national policy. <br /></div>

<p dir="ltr">Hmm, since the unfortunate incidence of the Ghanaian popular musician, Castro and the lady friend, Janet occurred this Sunday, everyone has developed their own sides to the story.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which one to take is a big problem now, although that of the media/press is paramount most of the time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking to people with various backgrounds, it appears that some have a very little interest in the matter while other have deep feelings.<br>
Whatever the matter be, we are still in search of our own relatives, friends, entertainers, enemies, acquaintances and what have you either dead or alive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some rumor mongers are saying that since this is not the first time Asomoah Gyan has organised a tournament after party and at least a person dying, they are suspicious of the striker's hand in this.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They continue to say that all the three person who have died out of Gyan's after parties are women (or if you like ladies) but their puzzle is why will a close friend will be involved now should they be found dead ( THE TRUTH STANDS as the Vandal of University of Ghana will say).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some of the rumours are more intimidating especially when you don't see the real faces behind them. <br>
One thing that I believe has intensified the rumour is the way and manner 'Multi media's Benjamin was reported to have been humiliated after taking photographs of the scene by the boys of the Gyan brothers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Are they abiding by the rules of the chief priestess at the river where incidence has happened?   Okay, no one knows yet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This chief priestess, Dzifa Avaga claimed she actually comes from the marine world (Christ have mercy) and that Castro has been invited  by his  marine wife for fortification or whatever.</p>
<p dir="ltr">She said that if Ghanaians do not stop disturbing the marine queen, Castro, may not released early enough or even not all.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Is that the reason for the prevention of photographs or media coverage. May be or may be not.  We shall get to know later on.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is also in the air that Janet Bandu is or was from the marine world and therefore was sent to come for Castro.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Until Theophilus Tagoe a.k.a Castro and Janet Bandu are found dead or alive, the rumor mongering continues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We the media and the people of Ghana are really astonished with this drowning because it defiles the rules or let me say procedure of drowning in general.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are really following closely the development of this story.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We must not forget also that "In every rumour, there is an iota of truth"</p>

<a href="mailto:satsimacjulius@gmail.com" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_PbgG4Ju58k/U4GDTdBxnGI/AAAAAAAACQc/2po_KKzqQS8/s1600/IMG_0671%5B1%5D.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
A 5 day training workshop has been held for Manya Krobo Mini Media Club (MMMC) in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region. The club is an initiative of “Plan Ghana”, a Non- Profitable Organization, to equip young students in Senior High School acquires journalism skills in order to promote gender equality in the country.<br />
<br />
The workshop which started on May 19th was with the aim of helping the members to get a more insight into gender related issues and how to use the media tools to help communicate such messages in the media.<br />
<br />
Participants were basically the members of the aforementioned club whose aim is to become media practitioners and advocates in the near future. The workshop which was inspired by 'PLAN Ghana' was facilitated by some students of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (G.I.J).<br />
<br />
During the five days, participants were educated on some basic concept of gender and sex as well as violence against women, radio production, audio editing, photo journalism, on-line reporting and usage of social media.<br />
<br />
Okodie David, a form two (2) student of Manya Krobo Senior High School and a member of the club, said he was grateful. He can now edit audio on his own.<br />
Many others also shared their joy with DESKISSUES counting the numerous skills that have been impacted on them over the few days.<br />
<br />
Speaking to the facilitators, they believe in giving back to society and that is why they came to impact the knowledge they have acquired from the tertiary institution unto their younger ones. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Blogging has always been my
passion from the day it was introduced to me by Miss Fusena Aziz (Current Women's Commissioner elect
of Ghana Institute of Journalism) at the hostel. I went to see an intimate friend
and a young lady came to ask me whether I do blog or not. That was when we were
in Level 100. I asked what the blog is and she explained to me and I agreed to
register an account.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The blog title she convinced me to choose was “Life happiness” which I
changed some few days after I became fully conversant with the program. I have
blogged on different issues without any particular genre but anything that
comes to mind, I try to organize and put it on the internet through my blog
after careful consideration. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The current blog title under which I publish is “Desk Issues” on the
URL ‘kofisatsi.blogspot.com’ of which I express my opinions on variety of
issues.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
The last time I blogged effectively was in the early January, this
year due to a lot of major and minor problems which I shall spell out in the
paragraphs below.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I realized that when I post on
the blog, I don’t get the necessary feedbacks so I had to take some time to
reorganize myself with strategies that will allow me to reach my audience
effectively and efficient.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Another issue is that the
academic calendar for the past semester was very tough for me and because I needed
a lot of time to do critical thinking to come out with a valuable post, I
couldn't blog. Even though I have drafted a lot of writings to publish, I
couldn't publish any of them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
These and many other issues have
I discovered and would work on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I also encourage my audience to
try and leave comments on the blog posts I shall be doing, so as to encourage me to
put in much efforts because I really want to be a benefit to my society.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What do you think about this
publication? <o:p></o:p></div>

located in the heart of Awutu Bawjiase in the central region of Ghana. Uncle
Sam Preparatory School is a school comprising of children from the ages of one

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After my second
cycle education at Dabala Senior High Technical School, I searched the nook and
crannies of my environs that I could do something to help out my parent and had finally
settle on this school as a ‘class 2’ tutor.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I will say for a fact that sometimes I lost
the taste of teaching due to certain circumstances I managed to bear.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">One thing I will never forget
was when I asked in an examination that pupils should draw a computer mouse and
one pupil drew a mouse (as in animal) for me. I came to realize that practical
aspect of teaching is very crucial. I was surprised but also thought that it's not her fault because she had probabily not seen or touched it yet in life.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In many but not all schools in Ghana,
pupils lack the feel of these ICT tools and gadgets even in the so-called private schools. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When I was teaching, I
handled almost 100 pupils in my class and the only way to teach such a number is
through mass communication of which some of them understood while others could
not.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I see teaching without practicality as eating an unbalanced diet, there would definitely be a deficiency. My humble appeal to all
and sundry is to be very conscious about the education of your child as well as
yourself. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Integrated
Marketing Communications (IMC) is the coordination and integration of marketing
communication skills, tools, avenues, and sources within a company into a
seamless program, which maximizes impact on consumers and other end users at a
minimal cost.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This definition
is insinuating the idea that all the relevant tools needed to draw the
attention of the consumer to a particular product or service are employed. These tools are
both online and offline marketing channels which include online marketing,
advertising, public relations, personal selling, sales promotion, and direct selling.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This market concept aims at ensuring
consistency of messages and complains through the use of the media. It is
believed that to keep the loyalty of a customer or consumer, there is need to
use this particular marketing concept.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This is a market concept that I believe
that it always draw the attention of the customer in all aspect due to the use
of both online and offline marketing channels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now let us take time to digest the
concept in detail by looking critically at the various forms of the aforementioned
IMC: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Online
Marketing</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">
is one on of the IMC mentioned
earlier on. This is the deliberate effort made in the media to draw the
attention of a group of audience to utilize a product which is under
discussion. For instance, when using “Facebook” especially, one could see a lot
of ads from ‘Tigo’ and firms inducing the users of that online page to switch to their
network or use their product. This is a perfect example being adopted and displayed by many of our
media houses as well; example, myjoyonline.com, radioxyzonline.com, citifmonline.com
and many more. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In addition, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">advertising</b> is the most glamorous and elaborate of marketing tools.
This is why many but not all organizations spend huge sum of money on
advertising annually. This is via the airtime they buy with the radio and
television stations and the spaces they pay for in the print media. Advertising
is defined as any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of
ideas, goods and services via the mass media with an identifiable sponsor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It tries to persuade the customer as well as
the potential customers to be loyal to the organization in question. It is
designed to get someone to do something. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><img class="rg_i" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmiOYIWF19Hdila9iFzZ4rvJvBt7xnRmTqfyzthV82EoZFeSRHhg" data-sz="f" name="s307zE4qd4CwGM:" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmiOYIWF19Hdila9iFzZ4rvJvBt7xnRmTqfyzthV82EoZFeSRHhg" style="height: 192px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 225px;" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Moreover, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Public Relations</b>
is another form of IMC in which the company or organization
manages its reputation. This tool focuses on communication that can
actually
foster goodwill between an organization and its many constituent groups.
the constituents include businesses, individuals in the public domain.
This is done through
the use of various techniques such as press releases, newsletters and
community
activities with the aim of reaching the targeted audiences. As mass
media
becomes clustered with ads and as consumers retain a healthy skepticism
of
advertising, Public relations and communication are being viewed as
important
addition the marketing mix. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Personal
selling</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">
is another form of the IMC used by firms. It is the presentation of information
about a firm’s product or service by one person to another person <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=482068208501177886" name="_GoBack"></a>or to a small group of people. Personal selling can be
distinguished from all forms of promotion in that it is the only one to one
communication that can deliver a completely customized message based on
feedback from the receiver of the message. The various types of personal
selling include order taking, and creative selling. This is why you will see
boys and girls with network card moving around to such for potential customers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sales Promotion</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> is another form
of IMC which cannot be overlooked because it plays a pivotal role the market
concept. It is the use of the incentive techniques that create a perception of
greater brand value among consumers, the trade and business buyers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A sales promotion has four types which are consumer
sale promotion, trade promotion, business to business promotion, and sales
person’s promotions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sales
promotion may not seem as stylish and sophistication as a mass media
advertising, but expenditure on this tool is impressive. There is a rise in the
use of sale promotion. The enormous amount been spent on various programs make
sales promotion one of the prominent forms of marketing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
last form of Integrated Marketing Communication we shall discuss at this moment
is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">direct marketing.</b> This is an
interactive system of marketing that uses one or more advertising media to
affect a measurable response and or transaction at any location.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Direct
marketing is often used to bring forth a direct reply. A powerful is upon
getting the message, the receiver phone or mail in an order for a product or
service. There is no other form of promotion designed to elicit immediate
action. </span></div>

It became very significance for the Journalists to meet
before the Supreme Court Verdict is pronounced on Thursday 29th August, 2013.This
event saw the day of light when a forum for Journalists from various media
houses ranging from the state-owned to the private-owned was organized on
Monday, 26 August 2013.The forum was
dubbed “Media Reportage and Responsibility after the SUPREME COURT VERDICT”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Present were the
executives of Ghana Journalist Association, the National Media Commission
Chairman, and a representative of the Ghana National Gas Company as well as the
Journalists from both the State and Private Media houses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both the print media and the electronic media emerged at the
premises of the Ghana International Press Center. It was a forum to dialogue over and
advise the journalists and other stakeholders of the media ahead of the final verdict on the 2012 election petition
which has sent the two major parties in the country to the highest court of the
land. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The President of the Ghana Journalists’ Association, Mr.
Affail Monnie elaborated in his address that “we are here to mind our own
business” and asked journalists to take the full responsibility of whatever
they broadcast or publish in the media being mindful of the threat it might
pose to National security. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mrs. Batil Mensah, the Representative of Ghana National Gas
Company also said in her address that the media is the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“stability estate”</i> of the land rather than we referred to as the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">” fourth estate”</i> of the land. She
pleaded with journalists to report with the aim of protecting the peace of the
land on which we live. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ambassador
Kabral Blay Amihere, the NMC also added that every individual including the journalist
has a role to play in sustaining the abundant peace enjoyed by the good people
Ghana.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
He cautioned
journalists to stick to their code of conducts and ethics. He also promised
that the NMC will deal acrimoniously with any journalist who defiles the rule
of the profession. </div>

<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Chickenpox is a viral infection in which a person develops extremely
itchy blisters all over the body including private parts. It is caused by the
varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It is mostly common in children but some adult
will have it at some points in life if they have not had the chickenpox
vaccine. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not until I was personally infected
by this problematic illness, I did not know that it was very painful. </span></h4>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I was told and was confirmed by many reliable sources that after you
have had chickenpox, you are not likely to get it again. But the virus stays in
your body long after you get over the illness. If the virus becomes active
again, it can cause a painful <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">viral
infection</i> called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">shingles</i>.</span></h4>
<h4 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Chickenpox
can spread easily like how petrol will catch when they come into contact. You
can get it from an infected person who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sneezes</i>,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">coughs</i>, or shares food or drinks. You
can also get it if you touch the fluid from a chickenpox blister on the body of
an infected person. A person who has chickenpox can spread the virus even
before he or she has any symptoms. Chickenpox is most easily spread from 2 to 3
days before the rash appears until all the blisters have crusted over.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Everyone
is at a higher risk for chickenpox if he or she had never had the illness and
had not had the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chickenpox</i> vaccine
too. If someone you live with gets chickenpox, your risk is even higher than
normal because of the close contact you have with the person.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Considering
the symptoms, the first you are likely to witness of chickenpox often are a
fever, a headache, and a sore throat. You may feel sick, tired, and not very
hungry. The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chickenpox rash</i> usually
appears about 1 or 2 days after the first symptoms start. Some children get the
chickenpox rash without having a fever or other early symptoms.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">It usually
takes 14 to 16 days to get the symptoms of chickenpox after you have been
around someone with the virus. This is called the incubation period. After a
chickenpox red spot appears, it usually takes about 1 or 2 days for the spot to
go through all its stages. These stages include blistering, bursting, drying,
and crusting over. New red spots will appear every day for up to 5 to 7 days.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">You or
your child infected by the virus can go back to work, school, or day care when
all blisters have crusted over. This is usually about 10 days after the first
symptoms start. Other illnesses can have symptoms like those of chickenpox. For
this reason, you may think you have had chickenpox twice when instead you have
had two different infections.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The best
recommended solution or treatment after been infected is to visit the health
center for immediate diagnosis or the pharmacy for a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">first aid</i></b>. I have had
mine already what about you? Would you wait for it to come or prevent from
coming? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you.</span><br />

to purchasing. Ghana’s Cedis and pesewas has revolved from time to time but we still have the same problems with the handling of our monies. The way and manner many but not all Ghanaians at certain times handle our money is so atrocious. Even though it is a great offense to mishandle the currency, most people do not regard it because nobody forces them to do so.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Crumpling of the money is something that has been done from time immemorial and will need sometime to be eradicated. A person who calls himself a gentleman could put the
money in his pocket anyway and anyhow that pleases him.<br />
Not forgetting, the ladies who
just jostle the money in their tightened jeans trousers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the youths of the nation take no
interest in preserving the properties of the state especially the currency, how then should we expect
progress in the country.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you see people writing on the money (notes) like a jotter which should not be the case.The other time I was giving a one Ghanaian Cedi note and somebody's contact information had been written on it.<br />
In other cases, people cut the money for the reason which is best known to them who do it.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gfc_x95DDmk/Uf-UOFH-t3I/AAAAAAAAA2g/U-l3XPqE-ZI/s1600/ghana+money.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gfc_x95DDmk/Uf-UOFH-t3I/AAAAAAAAA2g/U-l3XPqE-ZI/s200/ghana+money.jpg" width="200" /></a>The fact is that, the deteriorated money must be replaced
which also requires additional resources is a great burden to the nation. These resources can be used for any of the numerous
developmental project which could assist in booming the economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I see how our women in the market mishandle our money, I
feel like not handling the money again due to the deteriorative nature in which
they’ve put the money. Grasping the money and tying the money on the edge of their
clothes are so much inconsistence.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It will be a great national disservice if I refuse to give some recommendations
to the aforementioned perturbing issues confronting our dear nation Ghana. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am of the view that we must institute a serious education on the handling of our money. If this process is intensified through diverse ways, there could be some sort of change in Ghanaian so as to help save the nation
from incurring extra cost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wPtNE0JWkoE/Uf-Tabw_eWI/AAAAAAAAA2I/nrqwMu3rKSE/s1600/ghmoney.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wPtNE0JWkoE/Uf-Tabw_eWI/AAAAAAAAA2I/nrqwMu3rKSE/s200/ghmoney.jpg" width="149" /></a><br />
I also feel that we should be one another's keeper due to fact
we could all forget. As this goes on from time to time, we will all develop that habit of keeping our money clean to avoid unnecessary cost for the nation. <br />

Professor John Evans Fiifi Attah-Mills became the President
of the Republic of Ghana after two-failed attempts to change the face of the
Ghanaian politics. Such is life; those who do well do not last on earth to
accomplish their mission. The first President of the Republic of Ghana,
Osagyefo Dr. Kwame did not accomplish his mission and he was overthrown by the
greedy and “money-enthused” individuals in the nation. After the first
president, Prof. Mills was and is the next savior for such a corrupt nation but
his own people did not receive him. </div>

On 24 July, 2012 the people of Ghana were whipped by a
sudden incidence, the demise of their beloved father, friend, brother….. and
President who always refer to people of Ghana and beyond as “My brothers and
sisters”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally I heard the sad
news on the radio at about 13 GMT but did not believe it was true until it was
aired in the evening news. In fact I was so wet within myself and could not find
any word to utter. I was dumped. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The late President’s legacy of peace will continue to linger
in the minds of Ghanaian and me particularly. The third John in the Presidency
of Ghana was gone forever. He who ministered peace for three and a half years
was really gone. He who died three days after his 68th birthday on 21-07-2012
has left a deepest trench in hearts of Ghanaians. He who was and is called
“Asomdwehene” (King of peace) is gone with the legacy.</div>

The late President left Ghanaians in the hand of a “John”
Dramani Mahama just as Jesus Christ left his mother Mary to John- the disciple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No matter the circumstances, Professor John

DASTECH is a second-cycle institution in the South Tongu district of the Volta
region (Ghana) established in the year 1991. The school was established as a
community based school to assist the then Junior Secondary School graduates who had the zeal and qualified
to further their education into the second-cycle institution. She later received support
from the government of Ghana as a result of the outstanding performances.The school lacks a lot of facilities which makes
teaching and learning cumbersome. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
On Saturday, July 13, 2013, people from all walks of life including the present and
past students, the staff of the school as well as some invited guests moved to
the campus of Dabala Senior High Technical School for the purpose of the
anniversary celebration. <br />
The historical anniversary brought together the stake-holders of the school (past and present students staff,parents, Kings and Queens of Agave
land and many others).<br />
<br />
The guest of honour was Mr. Alfred K. Agbesi Woyome and the guest speaker
was Mr. Christian Anthony Krueger. The school was presented with 2 set of footballs
and a shining cup by the Agave Traditional area council to boost in the
sporting field.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
The
guest speaker highlighted some peculiar
bottlenecks confronting the School. These included the inadequate
infrastructure in the school, the large class size, inadequate Teachers'
bungalow, inadequate teaching and learning materials and many others.</div>
<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
Mr.
Agbesi Woyome expressed his
concern by reiterating the fact that the school which has a population
of 987
students has no boarding facility thereby exerting enormous pressure on
the
landlords in the town. This situation has also led to increase in
immoral act by the students in the Dabala township.He also said that
despite the challenges facing the school, the
school has been achieving results and hope to do more in the years
ahead. The headmaster of the school, Mr. Addae Kornutse confirmed these
claims by the guest speaker and the guest of honour.</div>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
As part of the Parent Teacher
Association's to help the institution, the Chairman Mr. Afianu Martin Gatsola
<br />
presented a Nissan 4X4 wheel vehicle to the head on behalf of the P.T.A. The assistance
headmaster(administration), Mr.Francis S.Y. Eho thanked the efforts of the PTA and promised the vehicle will be utilized for the required purpose.<br />

school as well the nation Ghana as a whole insinuated by the stakeholders of
the school.<br />
The headmaster,the entire staff and the stakeholders
say a big thank you to all who made it a success for the anniversary to see the
