Joseph Wemakor writes:How I eventually got my nickname-'Human Rights'


Joseph Wemakor is my beautiful name and I'm so proud of it.

I’m very passionate about defending, protecting and promoting human rights, religious freedom and above all peace. 

My commitment level towards the above is awesome and my quest for peace is unquenchable. 

Everywhere I go, I preach peace, drink peace, eat peace, smoke peace, bath peace, embrace peace, love peace and live my whole life with and in peace.

Do you know what that really means to me?

Well, it's by no coincidence I happened to have been recognized as a Global Peace Ambassador in unique ways, even recently got selected as a Taskforce Member (Ghana National Focal Person) to lead the African Network of Young Leaders for Peace and Sustainable Development (ANYL4SD), an affiliate of a high repute International Civil Society Organization based in Ghana. 

Sounds so nice! Indeed no mean feat right?  

If you care to know, I’m a staunch human rights activist/ defender without a border, a youth leader/advocate, and SDGs champion, a trained climate change proponent and a social entrepreneur. Interestingly, I equally hold other positions which I'd like to shelve for now.

But due to dint of hard work, tenacity, loyalty and dedication to task; promotion and protection of human rights, I've won an accolade from my colleagues including my lecturers who in their uniqueness decided to label me instead by a novel name simply called: ‘Human Rights’.

Asem oo!, the Ayigbeman will simply put it: “Esese loo" in the Ghanaian local parlance. 

Eeerrh, can you really fathom this?

Anyway, I can see your curiosity to know has been satisfied and I’m really glad you are now discerning.

Thank God my nickname is no longer a secret.

But in case you are still in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask for more. 

But in case you are still in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask for more. 

Always at your service.

Your friend and humble servant, Joseph Wemakor aka "Human Rights".

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...
