themes   An African as i am i do believe in the fact that capitalism is never the best economic and political ideology for us but rather communalism or communism or socialism because this bring about the best developmental issues for the African citizen. Africa is always on my mind and i hope to see Africa high in the near future. ‪ Anytime i wake up alot of things occupy my mind, most especially religion in Africa. I have seen that religion is a new form colonisation and a way to curtail economic development in Africa. Its about time we rise up to fight an African cause. I am not a Christian but rather religious African by this assertion i believe in a supreme being "God" with an African mindset. whenever i think of Africa and its endowed resources i become happy but the saddest thing happen when we are not able to manage these resources but rather leave them in the hands of these repatriates of the west. Any diagnosis of underdevelopment in Africa will reve...

themes OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE STUDENTS OF GHANA INSTITUTE OF JOURNALISM MET WITH JOY WHEN TWO CANOPIES AND EIGHT WOODEN BENCHES WERE OUTDOORED  TO REPLACE THE STUDENTS' LOUNGE WHICH WAS BROKEN DOWN TO PAVE WAY FOR THE NEW BUILDING HOUSING STUDENTS AS LECTURE BLOCK. THE FACT THAT THE STUDENTS ACCEPTED THIS DID NOT GO DOWN WELL WITH SOME OF US WHO SAW IT AS WASTED MONEY OF STUDENTS BECAUSE THE AMOUNT TO ME WAS BALLOTED BY THE EXECUTIVES OF THE BOARD. IN MY QUEST TO SEARCH FOR  THE COST OF THESE CANOPIES ON THE MARKET I WENT STRAIGHT TO A ABOUT FOUR WELDERS  TO SEEK FOR A PRICE WITH THE CAPTION THAT I WANT TO BUY ONE FOR MY CHURCH WITH OTHER COLLEAGUES AND THE AMOUNT THEY GAVE ME WAS A THOUSAND TWO GHANA CEDIS AND TOLD ME IF I AM READY THEY COULD HELP REDUCE IT. UPON HEARING THIS I TOOK MY MIND BACK TO MY SCHOOL'S CANOPIES OF SAME CALIBER WHICH WAS BOUGHT AT A THOUSAND EIGHT PER ONE AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHAT PREVENTED MY GENERAL ASSEMBLY FROM THEIR ...

themes I am always happy when I put writings down for the benefit of the doubt and this writing is to unfold the untold story of Tetteh Quarshie, the proud son of our motherland Ghana.The man who made Ghana rich has been eroded with the untruth history of how he brought cocoa to Ghana.   This write is highlighting how he transported cocoa from faraway Fernando Po now Equatorial Guinea to Gold Coast now Ghana. In our various lesson far back in primary school through to secondary school to tertiary level majority of we students have accepted the fact that he swallowed cocoa beans from Fernando Po to Ghana. Lets keep our fingers crossed as I unfold the truth about him. Tetteh Quarshie was born in 1842 to a farmer from Teshie known as Mlekubo. His mother was known as Ashong-Fio from Labadi, both hailing from the Ga-Dangme ethnic group. In his teens Tetteh Quarshie became an apprentice in a Basel Mission workshop at Akropong. Due to his hard work he soon became a master black...

When I sat and thought of how far religion has inculcate itself into the Africa continent I wonder its impact and what it has been able to do for the ordinary african citizen. When I speak this way many people see me as a blasphemous person and a person who do not believe in God. It is not so but I see religion as a form of colonial embodiment. I am very religious but I do not believe in religion. I believe in the supreme being but the fact is, I attend church and not just that but one of the oldest churches in the world. As a Pan-African I see that religion in any form has shaped the minds of the ordinary citizen of Africa from thinking beyond the problems affecting him or her. I say so because some problems affecting the lives of the African citizen demands a revolutionary action but religion has prevented that and until we perceive Africa as the continent with greater ideas. Many of these citizens of Africa are usually making it difficult and religion of which the whites or wes...
