Play time then and now!

Very short. Just to provoke that thinking. The need to rewire our attitudinal thinking. It must start from somewhere. You!  Please enjoy:

The season is upon us. Thank we The Supreme for his Love. Make decent choices after reading. Even the adult.

Chaskele, Dikos, Alikoto, Gutter to gutter, Police and thief, )mooy3, Stay, Mami na papa ( Ghanaian games); these games never hurt no one. We loved to play them. How much did it cost? Moreover it created a sense of belonging and bonding. We learnt a lot of life’s lessons from these games. Some of us do talk about those days fondly.

Today we have Contract killers, executioners, and a host  of violent games I will not give credit to in this article. Now society is crying foul. I say do away with these video games. It is not the status quo. Do not buy them for your kids or yourself. It is a way of indoctrinating violence in generations. Buy decent video games if you have to.
