A DISABILITY HOME OR ORPHANAGE?

Image
Most of us are into charity work in this country, actors are donating, these small bodies are also donating. But what do we see, it seems these orphans never get enough, they seem to be always lacking, are they entitled to only used clothings, can't they also wear something brand new. I have not visited all the orphanage homes in Ghana, but the few I have visited is having kids who look like they are disabled, kids who look like they are malnourished, kids who cannot even speak, kids who need intensive care and not what they are receiving. The budget of Ghana was  read some weeks ago and the names of orphans was no where to be found. It is as if they are not part of Ghana. We have heard all sorts of campaign messages including cultivating cassava, but we never hear anything about taking care of orphans. Is it that we have forgotten about them or we have intentionally neglected them? The day I visit OSU orphanage home, I will call for a Press conference. Even the nature of the ...

DEAR CHEIF IMAM,I AM AN ORPHAN,I AM A MUSLIM TOO

Image
I quickly run to the delete bottom on my Facebook post to delete my post about a girl who told at the kumasi government Orphanage she was allowed to go for islamic studies every weekend. After someone drew my attention to the fact that, this girl was not an orphan and was allowed to go for islamic studies because her parent work at the orphanage and they moved into the home after their house got burnt. And that Muslims don't get any Islamic upbringing in this orphanage. I then decided to inquire from the mothers if these kids have any provisions when it comes to Islamic training? One mother at the Kumasi Orphanage told me, there is nothing like that because there is no one to teach them or take them through such. I was grieved by that statement, how can a whole government orphanage in a democratic country, with an office of the CHIEF IMAM not have provision for Muslim orphans. Anyway, we can start a change I told myself. I went back to the orphanage after our visit to meet the ...

TIME WILL PAAS, YOU WILL GROW

Image
We attach too much emotions to Fiction We love what we aren't supposed to love We rely on things that can't bear our weight, We end up broken, We end up committing suicide. Time will pass , you will grow, your heart will want to have an attachment. Attach to your Creator. Attach to the real Attach to true love May your heart grow to find serenity. A broken promise is painful than a broken rib, A broken promise breaks hearts, A broken promise breaks trusts, A broken promise breaks more than just a promise. Time is passing, we are growning, when you grow make sure you don't break promises, make sure you don't break hearts Make sure you don't break trust. May you grow to become Amin(truthful). The lips that gives false statements, The lips that break family ties, Those lips you hate so much, The lips that cause riots, The lips that breaks hearts. Time will pass, you will grow, when you grow make sure your lips "speak of good or remains quiet ...

Husband scarcity, sis maryam writes

Image
_*HUSBAND SCARCITY...*_ _*(By Maryam Habu Shinga).*_ _This may not be the best time for me to write on this because of misinterpretations, but I can no longer resist the push. "Husband Scarcity" has become one of the challenges faced by many young girls today. If you go to prayer houses, majority of the intentions are prayer for a life partner. And this calls for concern._ _Casting our minds back to the time of our mothers and grandmothers, was there really much of a "Husband Scarcity" problem? Or, maybe there were more men than women then, or there was an adequate corresponding numbers of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the women had values and were prepared to build a home and not park into a built home._ _Then, once a young man comes of age and can at least feed himself and his wife, he goes out in search of a wife and the woman really appreciates him and helps him to build a future. What am I really trying to say? We created what we now see a...

To Live,One Needs Courage

Image
You can die at anytime but  "living needs courage". You have been maltreated ridiculed, misunderstood,disappointed, your name is synonymous to tears and sadness. What we call a smile sounds like the word occasional to your hearing. Where did you leave your living courage, search your heart, find it,so that you can  continue living, so far as you live , you need your "C-word". Self believe is a foreign word in your dictionary "I am not capable" keeps echoing in your mind. YES! I don't believe in the greatness of a selected species or generation, I believe in the justness of the creator of these generations and Species and so should you. What you need now is your "C-word", the courage to bring out the greatness in you, the courage to show gratitude to your maker, the courage to be courageous. Where did you leave your living courage, search your heart, find it,so that you can  continue living, so far as you live , you need your "C-wor...

Because i am a sinner

Image
Because I Need to: I was mesmerized when I tried to trace the chain of blessings I will get by just giving out one QURAN. I give it to a Quran memorization student, he reads the Quran like 70 times before he memorize it and out of this 70 times I have my share of blessings from each Letter not a word but any letter he mentions from the Quran. ALLAHU AKBAR KABIIRA!!! He then starts to teach 5 students and anytime he recites I get my share of blessings, when they respond I get my share of blessings, just imagine how many times they will also recite till they die and how many people they will also teach and the chain continues. The blessings of just that one Quran never fades away. Subhaanallah, I don't just have to give out a Quran, I NEED to give out a Quran for I am a sinner.
