“A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.’’ Mahatma Gandhi on Jesus. This is how Gandhi the Hindu, understood the death of Jesus. How do you, the Christian understand the crucifixion? Dr. Nii Amu Darko — File …

In 1635, a young Prince was made king of the Ga people of Ghana. His father, King Manpɔng Okai was assassinated in 1610. He was then too young to ascend the throne, so his mother, an Obutu Princess Dode Akaibi became the regent. She was also assassinated in 1635, and Okaikoi was made the substantive King. Okaikoi was not only …

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” — Matthew 5:13. I understand the EC is being taken to the Supreme Court today. Isn’t this the 8th election in the 4th Republic? Are …

Many believe money is crucial to defeat the Siamese twins and save Ghana. I do not think so. Not at all. To rescue the perishing, three things are inescapable: 1. Time or patience – tsuishitoo ji kunimyeli. Patience is victory or conceptually, patience begets victory. Nyame mmre ni yɛ mmre pa. God’s time is the best. Yesterday, a classmate in …

Fakefa (fa-kɛ-fa) in Ga or Fanefa in Twi means half-and-half or 50-50. Fakefa is the political permutation that we need not only to solve our present political quagmire but to prevent the eventual collapse of the political union called Ghana. This is the new book from my stable coming to your neighborhood bookshop. A quagmire created by a constitution: 1. …

Albert Einstein said, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Recently, I made some predictions on a radio programme about the upcoming general elections. Obviously, I cannot force anyone to accept my predictions, but the interesting thing is …

I promised this a couple of days ago, but I had to celebrate the 2nd greatest commandment: love your neighbour as yourself on the 14th of February. Let us now extend this love to the containment and eradication of Covid-19. Because of Africa’s self-imposed poverty, it needs a different strategy. Let us start with my classification of Covid-19 4 stages …

‘’Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them’’ – Albert Einstein. So, who create problems? Fools. We have had neither intellectuals nor geniuses in political power, hence our hopeless state. One man saw what Accra would become like if Nkrumah’s drive to make Ga land “no mans’ land” was not stopped. He saw a problem and tried to prevent it but mediocre …

I respectfully disagree with Tarzan. In Tarzan’s scathing article, he objected to tributes in which Rawlings was referred to as founder of the 4th Republic, describing him as a “reluctant democrat”. Rawlings was a congenital rebel according to Tarzan. He lived that way consistently throughout his life. Good or bad, we must appreciate consistency. Rawlings had the right to be …
