Gee, what did Ghana do to piss off the Americans? Just a couple of months ago, Ghana was hailed along with a few other African countries in the top ten growing economies in the world!

THE NEW AFRICAN MAGAZINE IS NOT AFRICAN!
June 24, 2012
A FOLLOW-UP TO KUMASI GOOGLE MAP MADNESS-where one secondary road is named after three big men with _ _ _ _ you fill in the blank! In the letters section of June’s NEW AFRICAN magazine, there is a comment entitled “A betrayed reader” taking the publishers to task for publishing in Europe. My criticism goes […]

Bob Marley was smiling down on Ghana last night as he surveyed from on high the tribute shows from around the world marking 31 years since his death.

You got it fellow Rotarian Kwame when you commented on my previous post regarding the tragic, preventable death of our late Rotarian colleague Kwadwo Sarpong.

February 6, 2011
You know I can’t figure out why there aren’t dozens of investigative journalists like Anas Aremeyaw Anas. There are so many ills in this fast-changing society to blow right open. Many result from a clash between modernity and tradition; others simply stem from a greedy elite or wannabees and their get rich quick ethic that […]

Anas Aremeyaw Anas is an investigative reporter. Nobody knows what he looks like. He goes around with a hidden camera filming unsuspecting individuals engaging in criminal acts. A media blitz follows involving simultaneous newspaper and TV documentary exposure. Even President Obama in his historic speech to the Ghanaian parliament in July, 2009 singled out anas […]
