Image
I am writing this on my way to the NATIONAL SERVICE orientation by GRA. I am sitting in a trotro, my readers outside Ghana, a trotro is a type of public transport here in Ghana. The driver is playing a song I don't know the title but its talking about dreams I think it's wutah's song. It has ignited something in me I don't know I only feel like typing this. All I want to do is change the world for the better and show people that living for Jesus christ is a life worth living.

Unfortunately he died and the entire town was saddened and in a state of despair. On the day of the lay-in-state the entire town cried, wailed loudly exclaiming: "we will go with you". After a few hours of the wailing the electricity (power) went out and the same people who were crying and wailing began running away due to the darkness.
