NDC is so organized. I can assure you that this will never come to the minds of an NPP member.

If every young person sees this and acts on it. I'm sure we will bring down the risk of sudden deaths in young people
We should also do more autopsies
A DOCTOR'S PERSPECTIVE- DR SINA
Currently writing a book on a new economic model which espouses a fairer system of distribution of wealth that was based on good neighborliness, protection of nature and individual needs. A system that guarantees a universal basic income whether you work or not and one that redefines what it means to be wealthy. Hence, money will no longer be what wealth is based on but on how much you can affect the life of the common man. So the man or woman who finds the cure for cancer will have a global credit which makes them have a higher purchasing power in the universal financial exchange than a man or woman who profiteers from the felling of trees or the burning of fossil fuels.
What blew my mind was when he told me that he is a former governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand... Which is the Central Bank of New Zealand.
A former Central Bank Governor flying in Premium Economy - I was flabberwhelmed.
A former Central Bank Governor now living as a musician - I was in awe.
He could see the depth of my amazement and laughed.
"Why are you so surprised?"
I found my voice from the vortex of my surprise and spoke.
"I can't believe you are sitting here with me. I mean, in my country, Nigeria, you will be in First Class or even riding a private jet."
He looked at his wife, and both laughed like mischievous brats salivating over a juicy secret only they knew about.
Then he turned to me.
"You know that is what we used to say when I went to all those meetings with other Central Bank Governors in the world. The Africans stayed in the Presidential suites of the finest hotels, flew in with private jets, spent money as though they printed it by themselves and for themselves, and we used to call them the Emperors..."
I just kept shaking my head in astonishment as I listened to him.
"... that is why my book and theory are so important. We need to build a new world that values the goodness of our hearts over the depth of our pockets. We need a world where wealth is not what is inherited by our children but the capacity to do good and stand up for your fellow man. We need a world anchored by love, with love, and for love, where everyone is more equal than they are now or they were in the past. Where you are known for not just your name and deeds but by the goodness associated with it."
I sat there listening to him and remembering what the Nigerian lady had told me barely hours before, and my heart was gladdened because right there, during my journey, I had encountered darkness and then light.
And the light gave me hope.
