And I went off to Ghana for what was intended to be seven days. I spent what was well over a year in Africa, teaching and travelling.

We looked at seven or eight different job descriptions and this is a summation of those. This is intended to give us a starting point on what might be the attributes and the duties and responsibilities of the chief.

And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.

The unqualified, inexperienced, disrespectful, and greedy Ghanaian politician has always been a pain in the neck in the life of the poor Ghanaian citizen.

The easiest way to spoil your hard-won image as a learned Ghanaian citizen is to involve yourself in Ghana politics, especially if you are not a doyen in Ghanaian politics.

I'll cherish the days that I spent with him and traveled with him. He was my mentor, he was my idol, and he was my friend.
