.. and Gold for ToiletsIn reality, the sub-prime mortgage lending crisis can be described as a clever 419 scheme engineered by mortgage lenders, brokers and highwaymen, which would not have been possible without support from major wall street banks. The losses run into billion of dollars. Northern Rock in the UK and Bear Stearns in the USA collapsed and needed emergency assistance from government

The Pastor and the Fetish Priest. A Fetish Priest reported to be very powerful is getting a lot of media time in Ghana and some Pastor challenged him to a spiritual contest and then reported chickened out. You can read about it here , here and here In the Old Testament of the Bible, God chose the nation of Israel including their direct descendants in West Africa who live in the land east of the

If you can't beat them, join them! Many people are pessimistic about the effect of the recent reported massive oil discoveries in Ghana. The reasoning is that if we are not benefiting much as a people from the mining of other natural resources like gold, how can we expect any different with oil? Many point to the example in neighboring Nigeria.But you can't sit by and do nothing. There is one way

WELCOME BACK, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!At long last our Ghanaian ( and a few Nigerian) brothers who went on an adventure to Barbados (and Trinidad) have arrived back home in Ghana- at least most of them any way. About 7 of them are still missing in action and will be declared fugitive illegal immigrants soon if they do not give themselves up. It looks like some Bajan brothers are hiding the few

From REUTERS, Pope Benedict XVI speaking in Washington DC lamented the "clear signs of a disturbing breakdown in the very foundations of society: signs of alienation, anger and polarization on the part of many of our contemporaries; increased violence; a weakening of the moral sense; a coarsening of social relations and a growing forgetfulness of God."Is the Pope campaigning for Obama or what?

How the GIA and others can survive. In the past 10 days ATA Airlines, Skybus, Aloha Airgroup and now Frontier Airlines have all filed for bankruptcy. These are not airlines that were mismanaged and turned into private tro-tros like our good Ghana Airways. Even if the Ghana government had continued to susidize Ghana Airways, there is no doubt that it would have collapsed by now.So how come Ghana

After an absence of almost two years, I intend to revive this blog and post here more frequently. What has caused this change of heart? I think there is still a lot to be said about what is going in Ghana and the world at large which is not being written anywhere I have looked. I intend to build up the pace slowly so I urge my two readers to be patient and keep returning to the site.It has been

I have always suspected that the Ewes of Ghana were part of the lost tribes of Israel (similar to the Falashas of Ethiopia). Yesterday after reading about "zadokeli" the god who reportedly appeared in 1947 in Aflao during the last eclipse, I did some research on Google and Wikipedia ( where else). After a lot of research last night and this morning before breakfast I have a theory that we are the

Who said the eclipse is just a physical phenomenon?if it is not JJ "the boom" Rawlings going to Libya and forgetting his medications at home and claiming to make crazy comments to Gadaffi ( the great father of democracy in Africa - yeah right) then it is good old clueless gentle gaint, Prez Kufuor claiming that eight years is not enough to appoint 200 ministers including a recycled "senior

The Deputy Minister of Manpower, Youth and Employment, Dr Charles Brimpong-Yeboah has, therefore, called for a second look to be taken of the US Visa Lottery.Dr Brimpong-Yeboah made the call on Wednesday in a paper on "Addressing the Brain Drain Phenomenon - Harnessing the Potential for National Development" at a symposium at the 57th Annual New Year School, underway at the University of Ghana,

I don't think there will be much change in Ghana in the new year. After five years of Kufuor's leadership it will take some kind of gene therapy before we will see any groundbreaking or epoch-making development in Ghana. I don't see any fresh winds blowing but all the same I am thankful that we have enjoyed relative peace and no gun-totting adventurer has decided to force a change of
