The Mass Social Welfare Scheme (MSWS): a must to save Ghanaians from abject poverty

The President of the Mass Social Welfare Scheme (MSWS) Ghana, De-Ben Selassie Elikplim has revealed that unless a conscious war is waged by the afflicted individuals and responsible people who control the world’s strategic resources, poverty will only remain a socioeconomic weapon of mass destruction.

He equally charged his staff members to collaborate effort work assiduously towards effective implementation of the scheme, disclosing this during a staff meeting in Accra yesterday.

The Mass Social Welfare Scheme which is aimed at providing valuable structured welfare needs to its members through affordable housing, educational grants, and the provision of capital to help set up new businesses was launched in April, this year  to help alleviate poverty by offering financial help to the poor and vulnerable citizens of Ghana and throughout Africa.

The program which is currently established in all 215 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies in Ghana has been borne out of a concept  which operates through voluntary mass electronic based co-operative union that guarantees universal and timeless lifeline in social security services to all members regardless of their social status, race, political and religious affiliations through a comprehensive public private partnership enterprise that equally seeks to mobilize universal resources within a digitally controlled strategic framework to address basic human needs and wants.

The schemes operation depends on the use of Cubical Blu Solutions, an information technology  strategic Solution which uses digital pen and paper and digidesk platform for registering over 10,000 Ghanaians under the scheme.

It is believed that Cubical Blu’s technologies will create over 20,000 jobs in digital data collection and management.

According to the President of the MSWS Ghana, De-Ben Selassie Elikplim, there will be free registration for every children’s home as well as commercial drivers and their mates.

The scheme which is intended to kick start its operation in August , 2013 is targeted at catering for the plight of 18 million members and also creating jobs for 1,500 employees through 200 US million dollar grant realized as a grant from foreign donors  including 20,000 Ghana cedis donation from Unibank Ghana  to support the operation of the scheme.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying...
