We wish to add our voice to the calls being made by well meaning Ghanaians to Ghanaian politicians not to politicize the visit of US President Barack Obama. We will not belabor it but want to remind the politicians that the man is coming to Ghana not because of the NDC or NPP!
He is coming to visit and bond with the good people of Ghana for whatever goodness he thinks we have achieve so far; period! Since independence 52 years ago, Ghana has hosted many heads of state from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Queen Elizabeth II, former Presidents Clinton and Bush of the US, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, Brazilian President Lula da Silva and many others have come and gone.
The question is this: what have we been able to do with those visits to improve our lot? That should be our concern.
If Barack Obama is coming, we must target a section of our economy to benefit from it. We will suggest tourism.
So, instead of bickering over whether it is because the NDC is in power (which is not the case) or not, those in charge of our tourism sector should immediately set the ball rolling and get the sector to milk this rare opportunity. If we cannot do that, we must all shut up!

In his piece entitled White Collar War Crimes, Black African Fall Guys,
investigative journalist Keith Snow writes:
First note that the ICC can now be viewed as a tool of hegemonic U.S. foreign policy,
where the weapons deployed by the U.S. and its allies include the accusations of, and
indictments for, human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
To understand this, we can ask WHY NO WHITE MAN HAS YET BEEN CHARGED
with these or other offenses at the ICC (International Criminal Court) which now holds
five black African warlords and seeks to incarcerate and bring to trial another black man,
also an Arab, Omar Bashir.
Why hasnt George W. Bush been indicted ? Or what about Donald Rumsfeld ?
Dick Cheney? Henry Kissinger? Ehud Olmert? Tony Blair?
The sad fact is that the International Criminal Court has become terribly
politicized, as has the entire international justice apparatus.
The ICC has issued indictments, for the first time in history, against a sitting head of
state. Meanwhile, according to Snow, an Israeli weapons dealer, also a reputed Mossad
operative, is revealed to be shipping weapons into Sudan with Pentagon support.
And Belgium changed its law rather than prosecute Ariel Sharon for war crimes.
The double standard cries out to us.
One country in the West, however, increasingly stands out as a place where
justice can be found?and that is Spain. With its landmark indictment of
Pinochet and its current consideration of Israeli war crimes in Lebanon and
U.S. torture in Guantanamo, we increasingly look to the Spanish Courts with
hope. It was the Spanish courts that returned indictments against Rwandan
soldiers for genocide even as the world coddles U.S. proxy Rwanda and its
leader, Paul Kagame.

OUR DEEPEST FEAR By Marianne Williamson
Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?
Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.
Your Playing Small Doesnt Serve The World.
There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Wont Feel Insecure Around You.
We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
Its Not Just In Some Of Us; Its In Everyone.
And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.
And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others
[NOTE BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WONT STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]
(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )
God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .
God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.
From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.
Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
[Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]

- Life Is a Game. Have Fun. [ Luke 18:17 / Isaiah 11:6 ]
Sitting here reading these comments from the people of Africa. It is quiet amusing! I am an American, who has visited Africa several times. and several different countries. I am always amazed how Africans view my country and my people! no we are not a perfect country. I would be the first to admit this fact. Especially since I am a Afro-American man. the fact is this! most Americans do not give a damm about Africa or what happens there! we are a racist country that could care less about a continent full of black people.and here you are arguing about what it means for our president to come to your countries. personally I myself love Africa. I love the land and its people. But what I see of Africa is a continent of corrupt abusive governments that do not give a damm about their people. and only want to rape the land and its people of its riches and wealth. this has been going on since slavery days. and looks like it will continue until man is no longer on this earth. i have no hope for most of Africa. its seems they will never learn from their mistakes. and the rest of the world does not care what happens to africa or its people. as long as we get our riches of gold, oil and other valuable things that the world needs from Africa. Africa it seems will never grow up and get rid of the label of being backwards and stupid. the world will continue to use and abuse Africa as long as its people continue to settle for the tyrants that abuse them and rob them of there god given birth rites of rich lands and cultures.when will the people of Africa rise up and get rid of these oppressors that are continuely using them and their lands. and keeping them stupid and in the dark with the poor education systems that do not allow people to really know what is happening to them. WAKE UP MOTHER AFRICA AND RID YOURSELVES OF THESE OPPRESSORS THAT KEEP YOU FROM BEING THE GREATEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE WAITING FOR. GET RID OF THESES IDIOTS THAT ARE RULING YOU NOW. BE FREE AT LAST. YES WE BLACKS IN AMERICA HAVE MUCH TO LEARN AND DO FOR OURSELVES ALSO. I AM AWARE OF THIS ALSO. WE TOO HAVE MANY PROBLEMS THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS. BUT NOW I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT US. I AM TALKING ABOUT MY ANCESTERY, MY FAR OFF HOMELAND. THAT I WANT TO SEE PROSPER. NO!! It is not our president that you should be focusing on here. but how to improve your own situation there in Africa by your own devices.get your act together at home first. before you worry about the U.S. and what you think that we are in Africa for. you will be more valuable to us when you finally become a more democratic and caring and prosperous place. clean up your own house first before you decide to figure out what we are coming there for.you may be surprised what will happen when the sick continent called Africa finally get well and is not sick and backward anymore.
Rawlings Togo Bandits in The Gambia??? Dida Halake Explains!!!
The recent failed coup attempt in Togo casts some light on rebel activities in that country and somehow links it to the pictured gentlemans activities in The Gambia. The first coup attempt was against late President Eyadema and it was organized according to reliable information from Jerry Rawlings Ghana by Gilchrist Olympio, the current Opposition Leader who has just legged it to Ghana. When Gilchrist sent in his boys prematurely so as to make himself the President should the coup succeed, Rawlings was mad and summoned him to The Castle in the middle of the night. Jerry put the trembling Gilchrist under house arrest for 2 years for his impetuous behaviour which resulted in the failure of the coup attempt. Olympios nephew Lucian Agbeko Kwame Hounkanlil Olympio (pictured) was convicted in absentia and he ran away to Europe (He has since confessed to his key role in that earlier coup). From London where he now teaches, he has been able to continue clandestine political work and there is some claim that he and the Togo Opposition clandestinely supported last months failed coup attempt too then immediately writing the post-coup Press Release from London to absolve Gilchrist Olympio.
For the Olympios it really is a matter of revenge against the Eyademas. The late President Eyadema overthrew and executed the First President of Togo the dictatorial Sylvanus Olympio in 1963. The second generation of Olympios which includes Rawlings (who some claim is really Togolese) have not forgiven the Eyademas and are determined to overthrow them. It is almost an ancient biblical tribal feud that the Olympios are embarked on.
Lucian Olympio is a regular visitor to The Gambia through his former girlfriend. The girlfriend dumped him for fellow Fula man Jungo Bah, former diplomat to Belgium. Apparently, Olympio has a group of his boys in The Gambia and they were sent to visit the ex-girlfriend in the Cotton Club. Lucian Olympios financial clout is such that he was not only able to get away with invading Jungo Bahs home and confronting Jungo Bahs wife (about Jungo snatching girlfriend!), but he was also able to get an NIA senior official called George to visit and warn Jungo Bah. The Gambian girlfriend of Jungo Bahs remains faithful to Jungo Bah. Olympio has also been seeking alliance with a certain influential Gambian to pressurise Jungo Bah, but the Gambian has wisely declined inspite of Olympios occasional remittances. But Olympios boys still remain there, so beware Mr. Jungo Bah!!! Although I am proud to say that although Gambians may receive remittances out of need, they do not necessarily follow this up with harassing fellow Gambians on behalf of such unscrupulous people. In other countries, as we all know, they would kill somebody innocent just for a remittance!
The Olympios are a Mulatto mix and light-skinned. To this day it is understood that many still try to keep their skin light through marriage to other light-skinned people (To his credit, Jerry Rawlings had the guts to marry a beautiful dark-skinned African woman whom he still loves nice peace on skin colour issues last week Watchman!). Until the abolition of slavery, the Mulatto Olympios related to the white slave traders through blood were slave dealers selling black Africans to be transported across the Atlantic. To this day the Mulatto Olympios consider themselves superior to darker-skinned Black Africans like the Eyademas and the majority Togolese. Just as happened with the Americo-Liberian rule of the Tubmans in Liberia in the 1980s when Samuel Doe led a coup, the Black Africans resented this condenscending attitude. That led to the deposing and assassination of President Olympio in 1963 and the assumption of power by Eyadema.
But we hope the youngest Olympio is not planning the next move against the Eyademas from The Gambia, for peaceful Gambia will never tolerate such a thing against any of our African neighbours. Anyhow, would-be coupists and revolutionaries should remain level headed and certainly keep their eyes on the ball hot-headed passion may expose their stories to journalists like us when they pursue their jealousy too far!
PS. On my plans for writing this piece being discovered, I was threatened with all sorts of calamities. Two strangers visited my home in Kotu pretending to be state security and asking for me. I have ascertained from authorities that these chaps are simply bandits and they have been reported to Kotu Police Station
