"Africa needs a new type of citizen: A dedicated,
modest, honest, informed man and woman who
submerge self in service to the nation and mankind.
A man and woman who abhor greed and detest
vanity. A new type of man and woman whose
humility is his and her strength and whose integrity
is his and her greatness" - Nkrumah.

The arrogance of the ego torments us. The price and vanity
of ‘mine’, ‘my things’, and ‘my possessions’ distresses us. Just
as a particle of dirt which has fallen in the eye rolls around and
causes pain, if the arrogance of feeling ‘I am the greatest’ falls
into the eye of wisdom, it will roll around inside and hurt so much
that the eye of wisdom will be unable to open. We will be forced to
keep it closed. by : Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

James Victor Ghebo, was a catalyst
in the dawning of West Africa’s
changing political culture.
And now, not to be out-done, the
larger African Union body has come
out swinging with jaw-dropping
insinuations about the abominable
political lethargy of the past. Africa’s
political leaderships can no longer
expect safe shelter behind the
infinite power and influence of their
non-descript monarchical regimes

The history of Foni and its great ruler had been long forgotten by
historians even though this ruler was one of the most remarkable rulers

Sanogo is turning Mali into another Yemen
but President Yahya Jammeh says he is
better than General Indjai of Guinea Bissau!
Really? - Analyzed By Essa Bokarr Sey.
- Analysis
When ever the art of diplomacy is
taken over by EMOTIONS instead
of REASONS public opinion weeps!
West Africa's ECOWAS like the
African Union-AU is more or less an
organization that spins around
emotions instead of reasons. That
is where the axis of shattered hopes
is located. We are caught within a
globe of mirages, hopelessness
and worst of all lost illusions when it
comes to establishing a respected
and respectable ECOWAS protocol.
