  On the Spot Lock-Up Launched in Poole
  27 September 2007

  The fight against illegal immigration took another step forward today with the launch of a purpose-built lorry to detain illegal immigrants in Poole.

  Immigration Minister Liam Byrne saw at first hand how the pilot project helps ensure illegal migrants found at UK ports on the south coast by Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) officers can be securely detained in a purpose built facility.

  The story of the missing girl Magdaliene McCann has been on going for a while. There is now a major twist in the case, her parents are now suspects. Is this a surprise? In as much as every parent will try to get public attention to the abduction of a child, i personally think that thre is a little bit of the puzzle missing in the McCann case.

  We have all heard big talks on brain drain in Ghana, and Africa as whole. Even without looking at data, it's indisputable that the best human capital of Africa are being used in non-African lands. This has deceived numerous African leaders and thinkers to attribute the "tortoise" progress of the continent to this famous phenomenon called brain drain. Though brain drain, without an iota of doubt, is a reality, whether or not, Africa (Ghana) could have currently done better without it is debatable.

  my thoughts and my desires,
  a feeling that impossible is impossible

  My only fear is my mind
  its cravings and ideals
  deals it strikes and paths it sees

  My only fear is my mind
  the loopholes it sees in the system
  the risky oppurtunities it sees

  My heart the only mate
  that thoroughly dissects the mind
  and inserts emotion

  My mind and my heart
  a dangerous combination of imaginations and emotions

  My life defined by my mind and lived via ma heart

  The FLipping deal

  I told the man 'I bring the money, you do the donkey work and you get 10% of the profit. I asked him, Good deal? and he said 'S**T DEAL', what do you take me for? A slave or something? It is not funny to hear a white man say these words to the face of a politically sensitive african man.

  Then i said to him

  Ok i do you a better deal you cannot refuse. Bring the money and i will do all the donkey work and i will only take 5% of profit.

  Many workers in Ghana feel like unappreciated housewives! Why? Because they feel what they earn are far less than the value of their services they offer (Could any inspired soul do a simple survey analysis to test this claim?). I wonder, however, if managers/employers/bosses know the consequences of cheating the worker! As it's in the best interest of the president to satisfy the military, the hirer better not piss off the hired! Why?

  If i had just 5 minutes to teach a politician Economics, I would tell him/her about the Money equation:
  MV = PY
  where M is the amount of money in the economy; V is the velocity of money and it's just a measure of the number of times a cedi note changes hands (In other words, it's a measure of the rate at which transaction takes place); P is the price level of the economy; and Y is the real GDP or output level of the economy (normally called the economic pie). Y includes all final goods and services produced in the country.

  Reality or Conspiracy§

  I feel like just spilling out my thoughts.

  It feel like my country and its people are good and hardworking. A country with a great culture and history.

  It is however interesting to note that, intolerance is becoming a major problem amongst Ghanaians. I am just talking from my experiences.

  It feels like the rule of the day is like; any views contrary to that of the majority should be shunned and suppressed. These views could be along the lines of politics, religion, education, sexuality etc.

  I know how important religion is and how it plays a major role in the lives of many Ghanaians.

  I sit here not knowing where to start from. It is without doubt that i do however have things on my mind.

  My view of the world and its so called morals and virtues are blurred. Is this reality or just a conspiracy.

  A blurred vision? A blair vision??? This is my way of seeing this world today and where it heads towards. A bush vision or what?

  I will concentrate on just talking about general and random things as they pop up my mind. Nice and simple. He he. Something similar to Pub-Talk.

  There is no doubt that most of the prominent politicians of our world today engaged in politics right from university. Look at Clinton, Nkrumah,Mugabe, Mandela, Jack Straw, Blair, Charles Kennedy, the list goes on. These are politicians who were involved in politics right from thier student days and have one way or the other left indelible marks etched on the landscapes of thier respective countries if not the world at large.

  IS JADE GOODY RACIST?

  This is the question on the lips on lots of people and the major discussion that took place during my lunch break today.

  Hmm where do i start from? I really dont know but in short it was a cold afternoon and about eight male souls gathered to have the normal chit chat that happens at lunch time.

  The issue of Jade and her insults to Shilpa Shetty were raised. There were different views on the remarks by Jade.

  Well, surprisingly i found it a bit difficult to classify her RACIST. I am not defending her. In as much as she is naive ill-educated and her views remarks were revolting i think that her remarks and reaciton to Shilpa highlighted the fact that prejudices towards foreign people in the uk is not a thing of the past. Well if that makes them racist i will leave for another day.

  thought that i might as well try this blog thing and hopefully it will be a good way of sharing my personal thoughts with those who read on my site.

  Well just a little bit about what today had been like.

  Well i have been out of the office all day on the roads. I have been on the roads checking the staging of traffic lights and finding ways of optimising their operation.

  In short it has been a long day and it has really been cold. It had been wet all day here in Dublin too.

  I popped back into the office and realised there was a meeting i had to attend. Imagine getting back from site well wet and cold and having to rush into a meeting without all the necceessary documents. Well that sums my day up.
