ASUU Strike: The Way Forward

In this tussle going on between ASUU and the Government, what is the way forward?    Must the grass suffer for the fight between the elephants? Why can’t they fight on a concrete platform so that the grass will no longer suffer, or can’t they look for a common ground rather than struggle endlessly. Can’t a final solution be found to this recurring struggle between the elephants, lest I forget, I hear say NASU too go soon join strike o! Seriously, what is the way forward in our country, can a permanent solution ever be found to the problems that keep popping up? The fact that Ghana closed its universities for a year and got a better education sector does not guarantee that ours will be the same.     “You cannot eat an omelette without breaking an egg”. Sacrifices must be made, but to what extent? There are speculations that ASUU may call of its ongoing strike before or after the Sallah celebration as 60% to 70% of their demands have been met.  

Getting Over a Breakup

Will I be able to move on?   Can I love again?  Why did he/ she leave? What went wrong? are some of the series of questions that come to mind after a breakup. Breaking up is one of the most traumatizing experiences especially when you’ve started envisaging life together. It could come at a time when you least expect it or think that you’re at a level in which all is well. It is normal to deny the breakup as a terrible nightmare that will soon go away. It may get to a stage in which you are not interested in doing anything or hearing about the other person. But, you have to move on. However, moving on involves accepting the fact that that he/she is gone. This is very difficult to do especially if the relationship was a longtime one and there was a lot of intimacy.   Just as a wound or cut hurts at the time but heals overtime, so also the pain of a breakup.   It is not wrong to shed tears and allow yourself to grieve but this should not be for too long. Do no...

My Responsibility as a Wife

In the African setting, the work of taking care of the home, the children and the husband is saddled on the wife however; do you think it is also the responsibility of the wife to wash the clothes of the husband? What stops the man from helping in the home. Some of my colleagues are of the view that a working husband must use the wife as a domestic helper, whose work is to seat at home and take care of all things while some are of the opinion that the woman is a partner and that there is not stopping the man from assisting and that the issues of cloth washing by the woman is optional. What is your view?
