Hmmmm. You may say Nature is wonderful. That is true but the fact is that Ghana has BECOME SO HARD because of our Politicians and corruption that even birds are fleeing from the country for Greener pastures. Ghana is now even Hard for Birds. Hmmmm. Corrupt Ghanaians and their corrupt Politicians.

@Frank Agyena-Karikari, Ghana will certainly become hard when you stupidly spend over $97 million dollars digging up a mighty hole without any use

Even birds recognize the free movement and universality of life. But we human beings, as civilized as we claim to be have erected barriers and borders all over the world making it next to impossible for free movement.

Atleast he finished all the ten churches and human beings are using them. Your man spent 97m dollars to dig a hole and you think it's an achievement. Is it true that Nana Addo his diehard supporters are mentally handicap?

I agree with Frank's assessment of the poor economy of Ghana due to corrupt politicians as the reason assigned to this tiny bird's journey of 5000 miles, for a better lifestyle abroad. Franks assessment is credible based on the quick weight gain of the bird. The bird's weight increased from 10 grams to 11.69 grams in such a short period, and after this long journey. I think corruption has cost Ghana dearly, and must be stopped at all costs. This can reduce the 'Rawlings chain' size hanging on the necks of many Ghanaians.

You rather use your brains.
The strain of flying such a lind distance should rather cause the animal to lose weight, especially as it will not be in a position to rest and eat properly during the period of flight.

Beautiful story which educates us about the importance of ramsayar sites. So is the demolition of buildings on the sakumono ramsayar site still going on? Or this government's people too have been allocated plots of land there so that they turn a blind eye to developments at the sakumono ramsayar site. God has really blessed this country with nature and it is so sad to see how human greed and avarice continues to destroy what God has freely given us. I pray the same doesn't happen to the keta lagoon ramsayar site.

Ramsar sites in Volta Region is taken very good care of unlike the one at Sakumono where some unscrupulous elements have encroached upon. Galamsey is also considered a taboo in the Volta Region. Kudos to Voltarians.

It is very interesting to note that after flying 5,000 km and settling in Belgium, the little bird has gained weight by over 10%. Living conditions are certainly much better over there

Read autum miracle brothers, the fact is that ,the feathers with which the birds were born has to drop one by one and replace one by one, new feathers completely grown in the stead of the old. Then a month between summer and winter the bird eat more inset and they excesice their muscle by flying together in triangular shape before crossing the ocean they have an inner compass. Nature. God communicate to man by creation and nature we can't acheife nothing by remaining the same person we were born there must be elimination of old life and substitution of new and feeding on divine principle to gain strenght (faith) to break any barria in life.
