Hopin Academy and its partners; RUMNET, YEFL and Ghana Friends in Denmark have launched the Youth Speak UP project to speak out against many of these social vices.

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.  Sanusi Salisu a graduate student of Islamic University college of Ghana drowned at the beach. The sad event happened when Sanusi Salisu after a football match at the independence square went to wash up and destiny did what it does.   Sanusi Salisu was a loyal fan of manchester united and hearts of oak. his last facebook post was a video of a match between arsenal and other english team, as he was making fan of his A

Still others would give answers that weren’t expressed in dollar terms at all. They’d say that wealth means having a big house, a boat, and a private jet – or maybe just a comfortable home and good   health insurance . But the truth is, we don’t all know what “rich” means, because it means different things to different people. And if becoming wealthy is one of your personal financial goals, it’s important to think about exactly what wealth means to you. You need to have a clear idea of what your dream of wealth looks like what kind of rich person you want to be before you can come up with a plan to make that dre
