   Sunday Adelaja, the author of the book: "Money Won't Make You Rich" in his book gives 12 reasons why some people are rich and others poor.  1. The difference is that poor people eat their seed, whereas rich people sow or invest their seed. 2. The poor want to live like the rich, so they buy luxuries.

For the majority of their time, the poor are not doing enough things in an efficient manner, whereas the rich are experts at what they do and dili

  The Kumawood was a game changer for the Ghana movie industry:Previously, Nollywood movies were largely seen on our TV screens in most households. Arguably, it took the timely interventions of some production houses like Miracle Films and Venus Films (Ghallyhood) and legends like Alex Kofi Adu(Agya Koo), Felicity Ama Agyemang(Nana Ama McBrown) to bring Ghanaians attention to locally produced movies. The industry which employs hundreds of people in their production chain became very lucrative because of their consistency in producing and providing good quality content in the Ghanaian  movie space. It was no surprise that eventually, the industry became the most recognizable film industry in Ghana.  Although the story is not the same today as a result of modernisation, lack of finding and many other factors best known to the industry players,all hopes are not lost if they restrategize and bounce back.  Kumawood stars like Agya Koo, Nana Ama McBrown, Rose Mensah(Kyeiwaa), Mercy Asiedu, K

  A new relationship comes with so much excitement, love and care. Communication is intensified at the beginning of our new relationship. Lovers could talk endlessly on phone or via whatsapp without break. The desire to see each other is also heightened. The reason for all these is that our brain is flooded with hormones creating a drug like state in the lust or romantic stage. Mistake #1:Making Hormonal Choices According to research, when people are madly in love, they make decisions based on their feelings at the time, not on the sustainability of a potential long term mate. This feeling as time passes by declines and we come  to our self realization. It is not advisable to make any long term decision during this period. Many married couples have regretted marrying their spouse because their decision was  influenced by their hormones.

 7 things you can never change till you change In as much as the title may sound confusing to you, it is well noticing that there are limits to what a person can cause people to think about them. We may convince people to do a certain job for us, pay someone to do a certain work for us and even bribe someone for a certain favour. Obviously this is unlawful and sinful in the sight of God. However there are specific things we cannot woo people to do for us unless we change.  I present to you seven of many things you can never change until you change. 1. You cannot change the way people treat you until you change the way you treat them.  Life is a reflection of yourself.

Ghana's population is dominated by the youth.One big advantage to the country is that there's high labour force and the corporate world is supplied with  a lot of labour both skilled and unskilled to employ. The disadvantage of this is that, majority of the these youth are not gainfully employed. More so, industrial companies take advantage of this to pay less wages and salaries to their employees not to talk about the unfavorable working conditions some work under. As a youth, there are many things you should know after completing  high school or national service. 1. Life begins and ends with God. The Bible says that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. For you to succeed in this life,commit your ways into the hands of God. Don't be part of the youth who have no or little commitments to God. Don't be a part time christian. Your fear of God will go a long way to help you in life. Start your life with Him and your end will be great. 2. Listen to advice. You may be

 10 THINGS YOU'LL REGRET AT AGE 60 Some say old age is not how old you are but how many fun you have had. Inasmuch as we young people will one day grow old, that day seems to be far far in the future. Many old men and women are bedridden with underlying health conditions, some blind, some unable to walk/talk properly and unfortunately some living in poor conditions making them beggars. Sadly speaking, several cities in Ghana are filled with our old men and women engaged in different vigorous economic activities like buying and selling, shoe repairs, wheelbarrow pushers and some picking empty pure water sachets to sell among many others at the mercy of the harsh weather condition they find themselves in.    This poses many questions to be asked whenever one sees them in their miserable conditions on the streets like: 1.How did they live their youthful years? 2.Where are their children? 3.Do they have family ? 4.What's the government responsibility to the aged?  Among many other

  100 YEARS FROM NOW 100 years from now will be the year 2120. By then, every single reader of this piece will be underground, our bodies having become part of the soil. During that time, our fate in respect to paradise or hell would have been made known to us.  Meanwhile above the soil, our houses that were left behind would have become either homes for others or demolished for better structures. Our clothes would have become destroyed or rags for others and replaced by more recent trends; our cars will be on display as historical artifacts by others or recycled for more advanced technology.  But for us, we will be, for the most part, never thought about by anyone again. Think of it, how often do you think about your great grandfather? How often does your great grandmother cross your mind? You see! Our presence here on earth today, that presence that we make so much noise about and shed so many tears for, was preceded by countless generations before us and shall be followed by countle
