Thank you, President Mahama
“The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of personal example which are the hallmarks of true leadership” – Chinua Achebe.

Our officials as agents of neo-colonialism

Nigeria: The Plane Truth
“All I can I say is that we have been overwhelmed into insensitivity by sheer excess.

Or whether this […]

It is Education, Stupid!
“On the expansion of knowledge I stand.” – Martin Luther. Gladly, two of Ghana’s registered political parties have come out boldly to espouse a free education programme. Sadly and, most regrettably, the incumbent party still does not buy into the idea. The Minister of Education, Lee Ocran, recently reiterated the government’s stance when he […]

The logic of hooliganism
“You Africans are hopeless, and so stupid.” The man accused, wagging a thick finger in my face. He’s of the European Stock, with the ragged appearance of some of those dirty tourists one encounter on the streets of Accra. His mouth was contorted into an angry snarl.
