 Dr.
Kwame Nkrumah- Ghana the country, has not given
birth to a brighter star since its own conception, which is a seed of that
great man, Nkrumah. So how does his birthday pass without national
recognition or celebration? Is there really a better day to designate for a
holiday? What then are the country's obsessions?

Wide Divide- ...as much as we all come
from the same mother, we all bring our unique experiences/bones to the soup.
So to your question 'is there stress between the Diasporas and the Continentals?'
YES, shit yes!

 Zimbabwe's
Silver Jubilee- Celebrating 25 years of
independence President Robert Mugabe joins his country folk in reflection
and projection, revealing the core of African resistance in his undaunted
stance against manipulation by foreign dictators/downpressors. His speech
revives, in all Africans, the sense of pride that championed the Pan-African
movement that we have seen all but watered down by a slew of bent-over-politrickians
that are selling soul and property to foreign interests at the expense of
the people.

Internet Lovers- Comical as it may sound,
many are the fools that rush into this trap. It has become the latest 419
(scam) being run by young, ambitious Africans seeking to generate an income
off of the love-starved, willing buyers of the West. However, there
are one or two things you should know.

 The
Beast Revealed- Modern day African politrickians can not give a speech
without mentioning 'good governance', transparency, or their fight against
corruption, yet the most exploitive measures are meted out on the
defenseless citizens of the various states in Africa, now employing such
terms as 'corrective measures' and what ever, other term becomes outdated in
the west. In this article we reveal the economic policies of Ghana's ruling
party and show how they negatively affect its people.

President Robert Mugabe-
At the 59th session of the
UN General Assembly, President Mugabe boldly spoke out about the hypocrisy
ever present in world politrics, eloquently defying the claims made by
western leaders with concrete evidence to the contrary of their claims.
The tone of his speech reminds us of Emperor Haile Selassie's most
memorable speech at the UN and gives us a sense of relief to know that not
all of our African leaders have sold their souls (and the rights to our vast
resources) to western capitalist. Read

 Ghana's
Ganja Policy- However disturbing the reality of of Ghana's laws
pertaining to the sacred herb, it is necessary that you are aware and not
subjected to the harassment.
For those who are unaware of the true reasons behind the false propaganda
and the criminalization of herb users, we also expose the real agenda of
such policy makers. Read on... |
 Health
in Ghana- Most people find it challenging to embark onto the
continent for fear of subjecting themselves to diseases that have proven
life threatening. I and my family have now lived through most of the
most serious diseases, thus I present myself as "Dr. Knowsomething",
to put rest to much of your fears and replace them with needed information
that will enable anyone to deal with the health challenges no different
than one deals with any other challenges that are related to our stay in
Ghana. Read on... |
| Repatriation
or Immigration?- The question asked is to bring to bare the
reality that we, as Africans born in the Diaspora, are faced with upon
arrival to our ancestral land. This article plainly reveals some of
the greatest hardships encountered by most repatriates to Ghana, from a
repatriate that knows. The point of such an article is not to had to
the divides nor scare ones with impending difficulties, simply to address
areas for improvement and prepare the minds of all serious
repatriates. Read on... |

Reparations-
Africans were not stolen from the continent, they were sold by the then
ruling class, the Chiefs and their comrades, whom we entrusted with our
lives as one would their father and mother. Lester Lewis provides a
plain dissertation on the need to deal with the cause before we can cure
the illness of a people. Reparations from the buyers and sellers of
African men, women and children.

Zimbabwe's
Truth-
If
you read the headlines of recent weeks, you would swear that African
demons, using brute force, have stolen white people’s land and evicted
them from the only country that they have ever known. Nothing could be
further from the truth. In fact, it is just the reverse. |
 The
Arts- African art has gone through various stages, losing the bulk of
its value within its own borders, but multiplying in worth upon arrival to
distant lands. This has resulted in the devolution of the artisan
and craftsmen, as poor pay usually leads to poor work. Yet and
still, artists are showing signs of maintaining integrity in their work
and the influence of those from the Diaspora is proving instrumental in
the reemergence of the Arts in Ghana.

 The
Artist- Success in Ghana isn't easy. Hard work alone can't do
it. Intelligence alone won't do it. And luck only might do it. The
only guarantee is a sweet combination of all, which is what Mark Buku has. A product of his own creation, he does well to exemplify
the characteristics that best describe his work, passionate, proud, and
African. Read on... |
| Cape
Coast Dungeons- An article which looks closely at the use or
misuse of the dungeons that were once used to hold captives just before their
exportation to Europe or the Americas, to a life of slavery. We
question the ethics behind converting such a building into one of Ghana's
main tourist attractions.

| Armed
Robbery- Unbeknownst to tourists and potential repatriates,
Accra is dealing with a ridiculous phenomenon of armed robberies, the
latest of which resulted in the hold up of a police barrier, where all the
police were forced to give in their guns and have since surrendered all
barriers. Read on... |
 United
States of Africa- All good and dandy in appearance and sounds,
but we see much that needs to be questioned about our continent accepting
the leadership of either one of its colonizers in exchange for the promise
of unity, especially since they are both playing us, black man against
black man. Read on... |
