Today, more than ever, we bare witness to a world wide media
machine that serves the interest of very few at the expense of many. We represent the smallest group of them all, lovers of truth and rights, romantics
in this world of Sodom and Gomorrah.
We can't possibly speak for Ghana as a whole, or even as a part, thus
we accept full responsibility for our thoughts, commentaries and articles.
Our objective is to share information with Ones of like mind, eager to add to
their own wealth of knowledge. In so doing, we have assembled various
topics that should help to paint a true picture of Ghana, West
Africa, as it is the gateway into this vast continent.
 Politrics &
Bullshit- In the full swing of an election year the politricians are
mocking us all with their rhetoric and promises while Ghanaians are smiling
and suffering. Read on.... |
 Men
like Us- This is an ode, not only to men in the struggle, but those of
us who are facing it with their fists up. The battle is not for the
swift, but those who can endure and score.

 With his eyes
to the skies- A story of success in the making. Born in Kingston,
Ja., with life no easier than any other ghetto youths, Ras Areya found the
light and followed it home. But his first attempt at repatriation was
aborted and now on his second, he is much wiser and more resolved than ever.
His determination is being rewarded and his achievements serve as a welcome
encouragement to us all. Read on... |
 Playa's
Paradise- Hey playa, quit playin! For the price of a house in the Hamptons,
you could build a 6 bedroom
mansion on your own mile long beach in Ghana. The cost of about half
your jewels could buy a concession of land, embedded with gold or
diamonds. For the price of an Armani suit you could get a wardrobe of the
finest linen, tailored to suit. And for the cost of one court case, you could
buy off a complete police station in your local district. |
 A
Blessed New Year to all the Ethiopian suns and dawtas scattered across
the globe. That is to say, black man and woman wherever you be. Not
only are we celebrating the coming of a new year, but the dawning of a new
age, a new millennium. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear, will
welcome the coming of a new day, for in this day we shall rise. |
 Empress
Menen Day 2007- This year emphasis was given to the children, a
special day in which families were encouraged to come and celebrate the life
and works of His Majesty's wife, Her Majesty, Empress Menen. It was
mostly a fun filled day where games were played, food consumed and praises
given the Mother and Father of Creation.

 President
Kufuor shows his colors-
President Kufuor mounted the
international stage and declared his irrevocable submission to the aims and
interests of his colonizers, while simultaneously abandoning the interests
of Africans at home and abroad. This, only 2 weeks after gala celebrations
which marked the 50th anniversary of Ghana's Independence. How ironic.

 Wolves
in Sheep's Cloth- It is commonly the case that due to our
ignorance and our excitement as new repatriates, we are easy marks for
fraudsters seeking to capitalize on our enthusiasm. However, the last person
you might expect to be that snake in the grass is your own brethren, born
and raised in your hometown, with knowledge of how hard you have sacrificed
to make it this far. And a lawyer at that.

 50
Years After Dr. Nkrumah- Since Nkrumah’s rule, Ghana’s independence has been no more
real than, say, America’s democracy. The new leaders fought tooth and nail to
re-align themselves with our former colonizers to re-establish an environment
that best reflects neo-colonial Africa of today. Not only were the seeds of the
Pan-African freedom fighters aborted, but new laws enacted to ensure our
dependence for generations to come. As feared most by Nkrumah, our social and
cultural plans for advancement have been totally frustrated and our men
castrated. |
 Repatriation- For most Africans
living in the Diaspora repatriation is still a lofty ideal, impractical,
they say, due to financial constraints or overwhelming personal
responsibilities. That, or the fear of a toilet that doesn't flush, malaria
that kills, or lights that go on and off at will. Either or, those are the very
conditions that make repatriation even more imperative.
Here's how.... |
 Right
of Abode- Lest we forget, it is our fundamental right to freely
repatriate home to the land of our ancestors. The politricians and
their bed-mates may try to stall the process, but deny us, they can never.
However, we do need to be wise to the game and then pro-active.

The Empire in Zion- Did you think you could
come to Ghana and escape the tentacles of Babylon. Breath for a moment
without that sense of an all-seeing eye peering into your dreams and your
showers. Turn on the radio without being inundated with false
propaganda or the television without witnessing ten murders. Sorry
folks, the eagle and the bear are here.

The Tro-Tro Experience- Got a car? Hardly
ride the bus, and if you do, it's not a must. Lucky you. Bring that
car and pray it never breaks down, cause Ghana's public transport gives new
meaning to 'God-Forbid'. Read on... |
 A
woman's place in this Gideon- Many sisters have expressed
trepidation over the idea of repatriating without a mate. Though women imagine
themselves to be more vulnerable to the pit falls, they are often better fit to
withstand the most trying conditions.

 Harsh
Realities- By now you know that very little in life is what it appears,
so it should come as no surprise that repatriation is riddled with its share
of surprises. Most disappointing is the prevalence of capitalization
at our expense by our surrogate leaders in Africa.

 Viable
Enterprises in Ghana- The most common and most logical question
pertains to business opportunities in Africa, Ghana in particular. We
are all aware that Africa is the bread basket of the world, thus income must
generate, however, it is also apparent that the world powers have secured
rights to mine and trade the world's most needed commodities, so where do we
fit in with our small investments?
