Why the Flippancy?

    Here in Ghana,one of the most disastrous incidents that affect our society and our human endeavors is the issue of perennial floods Year after year, we experience this perilous disasters in our country.

 We have attributed this to the lack of water ways,gilt engulfing our surroundings,improper planning and people building on water ways.The most affected people are those leaving in our inner cities and zongos.

  Whenever this happens ,government has to intervene with the aid of National Disaster Management (NADMO) to give relieved items to the displayed people.Should we as a people always tune our minds  and get ready for this disaster every year without cringing?

 What are our Metropolitans, Municipals and district assemblies doing to curb or ameliorate this havoc? And to the largest extent,the town planners.

   Ironically,the national capital which is supposed to be an epitome of good planning is rather the worst of it all. Ever since the President declared to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa,what steps have been taking by the A.M.A to make this feasible? If we truly want to do away with this flooding,then we must take a critical look at the filth which has engulfed our city.

   Although tracks have been provided to the various assemblies in his to keep our cities and towns clean but is this enough? Where are the dustbin we used to see at every vantage points at our surroundings?We must do away with that culture of cognitive dissonance.

   Frankly speaking ,since the introduction of the sanitation ,Ministry a year and half ago ,thoe I have NT seen any massive impact in has made,though it’s a blessing in disguise.

     Government spend over billions of cedis trying to help solve this flooding problem. It is always amazing why it gets flooded whenever it rains for 20 to 30 minutes. One of the most recent floods that got people shocked was the Kotoka international airport Terminal 3 which was opened commercially on 1st October,2018.This incident was as a national faux pas which can never be acceptable in any serious country which has the aviation sector as one of its priority.

      The question is, are we waiting as a people for a national disaster to hit this country before they set up a Committee of enquiry to find solutions.

     The time has come for as a people to change our minds and attitudes Now.

Legalization of prostitution very vital to economy.

LEGALIZATION OF PROSTITUTION

               Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for payment. 

                Prostitution is sometimes described as sexual services, commercial sex or, colloquially, hooking. Prostitution occurs in a variety of forms. Brothels are establishments specifically dedicated to prostitution. 

The important of prostitution 

It generates income.

It indicates that men are unable to find free sex. This may incidate a broader problem in a society.

Prostitution is usually associated with desperation and exploitation. Women don’t desire casual sex as much as men do, and even when they do, they usually don’t like being paid for it.

Classification of Prostitution

Independent Call Girl/Escort

Independent escorts work for themselves in hotels and private buildings like houses, charge high prices, and stay away from the public eye. They likely advertise their services online, and they get to keep their profits since they're self-employed. 

Escort Agency Employee

Like independent call girls, employees of escort agencies work in private locations or hotels and charge relatively high prices. 

Brothel Employee

Brothels are dedicated locations where people pay for sex and can include saunas and massage parlors, Weitzer writes. The prices they charge are "moderate," and brothel workers endure "moderate exploitation" 

Window Worker

Thistype of prostitution is  prevalent enticing passersby to enter houses of prostitution by prominently displaying the women in windows. Here's Weitzer's excellent description of window work, which pays women a low-to-moderate wage.

Bar or Casino Worker

These sex workers make initial contact with men at a bar or casino and then have sex at a separate location. 

Streetwalker

Streetwalkers earn relatively little money and are vulnerable to exploitation, Weitzer writes. Not surprisingly, they report less job satisfaction and get paid less than "indoor prostitutes" (bar workers, brothel workers, or call girls). 

Note well: Streetwalking is very notoriously dangerous.
