@timdexterr @BBSimons I'm always fascinated by his energy, depth of knowledge, and consistency. In the future, we'll need a Bright Simons Institute to memorialize & institutionalize his works. Today, many might take what he's doing for granted but one day we'll understand the value of what he does.

I said this in 2024 and I'll say it again, we must begin to think about how to institutionalize the works of @BBSimons for future generations. I don't think Ghanaians appreciate Bright enough for the thankless job he's doing for not just Ghana but Africa as a whole! The way

If I had to replace leadership with one word, that word would be “foresight.” A great leader must constantly think about the future. If there was one thing that set Nkrumah apart, it was his foresight. All post-Nkrumah leaders had a much simpler job than Nkrumah. They only had

We don’t have visionary leadership in Ghana in respect of some sectors of our economy. We govern by reaction. Zero foresight. So no one thought of building buffering mechanisms against a possible drop in world market cocoa prices? We always wait for the shock before scrambling

I have stayed away from the Nkrumah debate only because I do not have the time to engage in the back-and-forth. Ordinarily, I would have established a watchtower here to counter most of the nonsensical claims. One being that a one-party state is necessarily undemocratic &

When the Black Star of Africa missed a Golden Goal I admire the writings and intellectual depth of Kwame Nkrumah, J. B. Danquah, Kofi Abrefa Busia, and others in our political history. These were serious thinkers and writers in our political history. One can’t help but imagine

Money is a bad master. Money must be mastered. Only then can it be directed toward worthy ends, with purpose and with accountability before God. Man’s first mistake is seeing himself as the end of all things. When he imagines himself to be his own god, he rarely notices the
