“That’s seemingly
impossible” virtually has become the words uttered in conversations
where new developments are aimed at being nurtured. This, thus slowly
kills the panache with which fueled one to set his thoughts onto the
track of reality. To the ingenious, those words are hardly “dream
killing” but rather continue to inspire him to even prove why he
believes that his dream can be actualized. This would be on the contrary
from the perspective of one who follows the crowd where the words, “It
is impossible thrives”
We
live in a fast paced world where technology seems to be taking over
most of the things we used to do. From having competent secretaries who
always break their backs to make sure that their bosses don't look like
failures at meetings as compared to having
personal assistants on our smart phones which can remind us of our
pending meetings and those special people we haven’t called in a while. The wives are in support of this advancement because their husbands would not get to be tempted by their so called secretaries. Somewhere
around the world, technology coupled with other forms of energy is
vigorously been researched upon as to being a way of generating power to
at least taking care of the power demands of a house where most of the
kids are growing as digital natives hence heavy dependency on wireless
networks, tablets and smart phones. I guess the story is otherwise in
Ghana, Nigeria and some African countries where her citizens have to
struggle with having even 12 hours of electricity. This leaves the
populace to go in for generators and power plants which is also costly
to maintain. Reminiscing some moments back at Senior High School where
some students managed to generate power from wood ash after a chemistry
lesson. “WOW!”.. was mostly what people who saw what this new discovery
could do exclaim .Talking of charging phones, lighting bulbs and
charging lamps. Impressing ain’t it?
As
a maverick, I sometimes prefer to do most of the talking in my mind and
imagine what it will be like if it actually sprang into reality.
Usually beginning with #WhatIf, I realized that as far as one is able to
dream of it, one can surely do it. The words once uttered by Leonardo
Da Vinci and I quote, “Nothing is impossible to achieve although may be
difficult to do so” has been the catchphrase which encapsules me against
the dream choking words of people who are stuck with the perception
that, some dreams just cannot be realized. If the director of Iron Man 3
could actually come up with a scene and act where billionaire playboy
and amazingly intellectual, Tony Starks invents a new element although
being fictional, then I believe that engineers in Ghana are capable of
postulating environmentally safe structures which will one day lead to
every region in Ghana being capable of supplying its inhabitants with 24
hours power and using that from the national grid as backup to any
region which at one point or another may have to cut power supply for
maintenance works to be done. And again an advancement such as this could help render more jobs to the various ten regions as
unemployment has also become a rising challenge in the country.
Resolving the energy crisis we face will go a long way to avert
downsizings oftenly opted for by companies and organizations which
cannot bear the cost of operating large power plants. This, in the
future, will not contribute to the unemployment margin.
Some
may have jokingly said at one point in a casual conversation that they
wished the Queen of Great Britain will probably send a governor to rule
over us again. “Perhaps, things will be far better”. It is never too
late to elevate Ghana higher and to put to place, things that are
supposed to be. Long live Ghana.
