DON'T IMPOSE LIMITATIOMS ON ASPIRATIONS..(mirror)

Story: Tim Dzamboe, Likpe-Bala

A retired educationist, Mr. I.W.K Dorleku has urged
the youth not to impose artificial limitations on
aspirations to achieve high academic laurels that will
entrench them into the sphere for leadership positions
and decision making processes in the country.
“ You need not to have limitations to discourage you
to achieve laurels in your pursuit to academic laurels
but strive to excel in any endeavour you set for
yourselves to propel you to take the mantle of
leadership of our dear country” he said.
Mr Dorleku gave the advice when he addressed a youth
rally of the Saint Joseph parish of the Catholic
Church in the Likpe traditional area at Likpe –Bala in
the Hohoe district last weekend.
It was on the theme, “Youth as potential leaders of
tomorrow-our roles and limitations”.
Mr Dorleku stressed the need for the youth to
discover and rediscover their potentials to enable
them to respond positively to societal needs which
could lead to the transformation of problems.
He expressed misgivings about the lackaidaisical
attitude of the youth that had impacted negatively on
the society and advised those miscreants to take
another look at their nefarious activities.
He advised them to avail themselves to all
opportunities and challenges towards a successful
lifestyle and resist all attempts by peer pressure to
divert their attention as potential future leaders on
the nation.
In an address, the life patron of the Democratic
Freedom Party (DFP), Dr Obed Asamoah cautioned the
youth to be wary of policies, programmes and
interventions of successive governments which were not
in their interest and advised them to be circumspect
in their voting pattern in the 2008 general elections.
“ You must learn to appreciate policies, programmes
and interventions of government that will improve
living standards, create jobs and wealth and not those
that are cosmetic and does not secure your future as
leaders of the nation” he said.
Dr Asamoah who was the guest speaker advised the
youth to take interest in the political direction of
the nation so as to contribute meaningfully towards
democratic governance.
The chairman of the parish youth council of the
church, Mr Boniface Tettey assured the leadership of
the church of readiness of the youth to play
meaningful roles to transform the traditional area.
The chief of Likpe Bala, who chaired the function,
Nana Bulley Osai VII advised the youth not to bow to
peer pressure and engage in nefarious activities that
would divert their attention and jeopardize their
future but direct their energies towards productive
ventures to uplift status of the communities in the
area.
“The youth have crucial roles to play in the
transformation of the traditional area and you must
not relent in that effort and remain focused so that
you can direct your youthful exuberance into
productive ventures”, he stressed.
