MTN AND FERNANDO TORRES


What have Torres and MTN in common? Well Torres used to be a prolific striker (and of course a feared one)in his days at Athletico Madrid and Liverpool. After joining Chelsea, Torres is now past his prime and is utterly useless. MTN can be likened to Torres; MTN is past its prime and is UTTERLY USELESS!

The litany of MTN's inefficiencies is too well known, notorious in the least! In 2012 we all witnessed MTN at its worst. The Daily Graphic of Tuesday, 4 December 2012, carried an article on its back page where the NCA ordered Scancom Ltd – operators of MTN – to stop the sale of their sim cards due to massive network disruptions which greatly worried customers. Data services could cut for half the day before it was restored. Sometimes subscribers could only receive but not make calls and vice versa. There were and are times that you call somebody and the call gets on a totally different line. Dubious and spurious loss of airtime or credits also adds to the inefficiencies. These are but a few of the problems and MTN has not addressed these despite the various fines imposed on them.

There have been calls for people to switch networks but the usual excuse is "I have used the MTN number in all my documents and so I cannot change the line." In this day and age of Mobile Number Portability (MNP), sticking to MTN whilst citing this excuse is lame. Yes it is lame! PORT YOUR NUMBERS TO DIFFERENT NETWORKS!! I ported to Airtel, and I must say I am enjoying the service at Airtel.

With the Mobile Number Portability, you are able to move to a different network with your existing number. All you have to do is to go to the offices of the new network and it'll be done. It is hassle free, you don't change your number and you will have no problems whatsoever. Port your numbers away from MTN to a different network, especially to Airtel. MTN has nothing more to offer anybody. It is time consumers taught these telcos a lesson; that power belongs to the consumer who patronises their services. This can be done only when consumers realise their power and use it accordingly. For now Airtel is the in-thing. Port your MTN numbers to Airtel.

MTN has nothing new, or any better service to offer because just like Fernando Torres, MTN IS UTTERLY USELESS!

YOU & CO

  “Show me your friend, and I’ll tell you your character”  – A Ghanaian Proverb (a direct translation into English) One of the statements we often heard as children in Primary and JSS, when teachers were referring to a group of “bad” boys was to mention the name of the gangalia (gang leader) and add “and co” to refer to the others. You would hear something like “Yaw Jon and Co”. When I grew, I came to understand that the “Co” was the short form of “Company” and that it referred to more than just businesses. It referred to one’s friends, notably the group of people one surrounded themselves with.  Paul of Tarsus made clear the importance of company to oneself. He put it succinctly in 1 Corinthians 15:33 that “Do not be misled: Bad Company corrupts good character” . The Apostle is said to have quoted a Greek poet, Menander, demonstrating his grasp of contemporary literature. However, the lesson is solid: your life is impacted by the quality of your company! And this “compan...

OF GYMS AND MARRIED WOMEN

Image
How does anyone pay about GHC 1,500 a year for membership of a gym? I mean gyms are attractive: bright lights, loud hip hop music, enthusiastic sweat-glistened patrons clad in attractive sportswear (you should see the young ladies, damn I wish I was young again) . But GHC 1,500? C'mon maen. I'm not the only one who has found gyms attractive. Loads of people do, and they are trooping to gyms to shape up, among these are married women who feel the need to get their shapes back after childbirth or a close shave with a shapey sidechick. To most of these women getting a figure 8 makes them sexy enough to keep their husbands. All this is good, but dark stories are emanating from the bright gymnasiums ( that's the full term for "gym", but you know that right? ). Stories of steamy sex involving the married women and male gym patrons after the vigorous exercises. No, I'm not talking about rape, but consensual sex between the married women and male gym patro...

LETTER TO MY MUM

Image
Dear Grace, First of all, thank you for holding the fort whilst we (your children and husband) were away working, schooling or travelling. On 7th July 2017, you were not in the fort when we rushed in. You had fought your life’s battle and it was ended. Only your two framed pictures in the hall reminded me of you. I could only glimpse your lifeless body the next day. I was sad, I almost cried. You have only left me with memories.  I remember a lot of things you did with us. You were our teacher, I remember the multiplication tables David and I had to learn. You were my confidante, you knew all my female friends. You could almost put a face to all their names. You were a defiant fighter too, those who crossed you saw that too well. You gave me a template of how a wife should be and I remember praying to God asking for a woman like you for a wife. I remember how you once stood behind the door shouting “Kojo oye, kojo oye” (Kojo, it is ok) when my dad was lashing David and I for ...
