I will continue to encourage all to seek knowledge no matter the cost, distance, challenges and all the other difficulties that are associated with it, that’s seeking of knowledge.
My Prophet Mohammed PBUH had admonished all to seek knowledge even beyond China.
This statement was made some two thousand years ago.But the relevance of the statement will persist with us today and forever.
For lack of knowledge,my people perish as biblically stated.
At the time the Holy Prophet made that loaded statement, there was no aeroplane,there was no means of communication,no digitalization,no social media as we have today, which some of us are childishly misapplying.
The world was not industrialized or digitalized.The world was a closed one.Yet the Prophet wisely and prophetically made that statement.
I am yet to know of any event or activity that happens without knowledge as the citadel or the nerve center.
In Ghana’s political landscape today, there is a family that is wisely, productively and politically making solid inroads in our political and social landscape, and I will encourage all, especially the young ones to emulate the family.
The family is achieving all the glories because the gentlemen are educated and have strategically position themselves well.
You envy them at your own peril.
These brothers are Hon Samuel Abu Jinapor, junior and Hon John Jinapor,the senior of the two.
They are from the same organic parents.Therefore, have shared the same milk of their beloved mother and other natural consumables.
They are smart, intelligent and wise brothers.Abu is a lawyer and his senior brother is a finance and an energy expert.
They both chose different political parties and are voiceferious in the affairs of their parties.
They belong to the two leading political parties in our country which can create opportunities for them.( The New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress).
They contested their Parliamentary seats from different constituencies in the same Savannah Region.
One contested in the Constituency of the mother ( Damango) and the other the Constituency of their father ( Kusago Yapei).
Smarty: they avoided each other.
Samuel Abu Jinapor served as the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources in the New Patriotic Party under HE Nana Akufo Addo and also as a Member of Parliament for four years on the ticket of his party,the New Patriotic Party.
He has since been retained as an MP but his Government is out of power after it suffered a humiliating defeat ( I belong to the same party with him).
Today,his senior brother is the Minister for Energy in the current National Democratic Congress Government of HE John Dramani Mahama.
These brothers never crossed each other’s path. They are seen or heard defending the policies and programs of their parties without using any unprintable words.
They have never thrown punches.They are seen together sharing whatever thoughts or ideas.Beautiful and Amazing brothers.
They have understood the principles of Democracy and therefore they will not bite or hurt themselves.
I commend their parents for the investments in them and the counseling offered to them.
Abu’ s party, the New Patriotic Party is in opposition today, but I believe my brother Abu is not in the opposition.
Likewise John Jinapor wasn’t in opposition during their period when his party was in the opposition.
I believe all of us especially the youth will emulate this family and pursue their political or any other agenda strategically and without hating or hurting each other.
There is no need to hate, fight,and tear ourselves apart because of our political parties or different affiliations or opinions.
Politics is about personal and general development.It is not about killing or dying foolishly because of the politicians who will be enjoying with his family members.
We the budding politicians should use our energy to build ourselves productively, academically, skillfully and wisely.
The Jinapors have shown us the way.We should better copycat them with alacrity instead of doing the unnecessary.
No hatred in the game of politics.
Knowledge is a huge pillar to attain your vision.Seek it no matter the cost.
So far all the appointments being made by HE John Dramani Mahama, the appointees are all educated.
You the party foot soldiers who provided the shields, what is your reward?We are waiting.
With knowledge,I believe you can fly like the Jinapors.
Ahmed
The Servant
