Why We Should Support Real Music

by T.C. Henderson

The music industry of today is very fickle. Everyone seems to be caught up in finding the "next big thing." Performers want the most popular rapper or "singer" on their songs without caring whether this person is actually talented. Very few music acts, or "professional celebrities" as I call them, are true artists. As such, even fewer of them have lasting careers.

The goal of a true artist should always be to create a lasting work. Legendary artists are celebrated for their ability to sing, write, or perform timeless songs. Is there anyone in the current industry whom we will still remember 10 or 20 years from now? Or even think about two years from now, for that matter? Songs like Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" or Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" were written decades ago. Yet they are still important when tragedies occur or in political circles.

I believe the time has come for us to return to recognizing true talent. Consumers should stop buying into "packaged" singers. By that, I mean we should stop supporting people who have no talent just because they are attractive or well-dressed. A catchy song does not always uplift the world. I say listen to the words and not just the beat. Good music can change your whole world view and expand your mind.

Why are rivers in Ghana not considered suitable for water transportation

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Water bodies have been an amazing mode of transport for carrying people and/or goods within and across regional, national and continental borders. Hitherto, a lot of countries still depend on inland water transport for the transportation of bulk and general cargo across lakes/rivers over long distances. Similarly, Ghana’s Inland Water Transport (IWT) system managed by Volta Lake transport Company (VLTC) has been in operation for decades. Regardless of the long years of operational activities, the IWT system in Ghana is faced with numerous constraints grouped under administrative, market, logistics and technical constraints which impede smooth operations and growth of the industry. By means of interviews and questionnaires, open ended verbal questions were used to ascertain respondents’ opinions on these major challenges. In this regard, some recommendations such as institutionalization and proper regulation of IWT, dredging or periodic maintenance of navigational channels, improvement of logistics and infrastructural development and also promotion of integrated transport planning, to boost IWT system in Ghana and other countries with similar constrains were presented. As encouragement approach, some benefits of improved IWT as enjoyed by many countries with competitive IWT were also discussed in comparison with Ghana and other countries where IWT is not very competitive.
