Each birthday might bring us closer to the end of our life on this planet but we celebrate it anyway because everyday we escape death must be a celebration.

In essence, leaving  a mark in the lives and minds of people becomes  the purpose of many in life. If done the right way, the people that accomplish this task are forever remembered by all. That’s why we still celebrate the birthdays of people like Kwame Nkrumah, Kofi Annan, John Agyeman Kuffour etc.   One of the people worth celebrating is His Excellency Mahamudu Bawumia who turns 58 today.
