So what do you do with your today? Robert Frost chose the road maligned by most, he took no detours nor did he allow any hurdle to block his way, and as he stated “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the road less travelled by, and that has made all of the difference” For sure all that is certain is this very moment.  Read more »

When you take responsibility for your life, serendipitous events unfold and lead you to awaken your inherent wisdom. Getting out of your comfort zone is hard because as humans we have the tendency to expect the worst-case scenario of every situation within which we find ourselves. Your brain wants to keep you safe, so you have a natural bias towards any perceived or actual negative event.  Read more »


  It was last December when I travelled back to Sunyani, a city in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. I have an affinity for my grandparent’s house here. A nicely sorted garden sits far in the front yard, with planted veggies, assortment of herbaceous plants and surrounding trees (around the house too). One sunny day, we were idly sitting in front of the house having a nonchalant conversation about life.  Read more »

The idea of slavery or slave trade was not foreign to Africa before their contact with the Europeans.There is evidence that Africans were involved in the slave trade through the trans-Saharan and ocean slave trade .

Unpatriotic Ghanaians shouldn’t stop us from living well. Police the beaches- Beaches must be policed, cleaned and preserved – Seriously, the idea of fish fattened on poop is not natural or funny. It is not a worthy cultural practice either. It should stop. The sight of adults and children constantly shitting at our coastline is one of the quickest ways of spreading disease and degrading the seabed. Every home must have a toilet facility – In 2019, open defecation should be unacceptable to all Ghanaians. This must be the law.

According to Mr Razak, a spokesperson for Bolgatanga Youth Movement (BYM), they have been complaining about the poor nature of the traffic lights to the Regional Minister and the Municipal Chief Executive, but they have turned a blind eye on it. And they are calling on the president of the Republic of Ghana to either help them to fix the traffic lights or allow the Regional Minister to resign. ” For the past two years, the traffic l
