Very grateful that this short story, a personal favourite, found a home with @nentajournal ❤️❤️
Read “The Naming of the Wind”, my latest work in Ghanaian pidgin in the link below.

“God is good!” Those were the first words reportedly transmitted by a U.S. airman after surviving 36 hours behind enemy lines in Iran—downed on Good Friday and rescued on Easter Sunday, in what President Trump called an “Easter miracle.”

The bombing of Sharif University of Technology in Tehran validates what a friend recently said: "Gaza has become a verb".

sis. mariama was just 20m away from another woman we’d sometimes buy waakye from
trouble with buying from sister mariama was that she’d either reject the money or overcompensate with the food in order to take the money
it was a big struggle evading her to buy from a “stranger”
Ek.Damoah@HalfDbeegh
Black sherif talks about Sister Mariam for the first time on an interview with Kafui Dey. She really believed in Black Sherif to be a bigger person. Indeed “Nyame mma yena Aljanna, yebhyia wo soro ha one day”🕊️❤️

@iakarimgh @yaron__zango Hehehe. “let’s get in the phone and speak to Dr. Alidu Seidu” took me out.

in my next essay, i will be arguing for the “politicization of everything”.
Wode Maya ®@wode_maya
As long as everything is politicized, we should definitely forget about development.
English
@nsoh_azure you’re right.
also there are many iterations of the footsoldier. comes alive even more when i switch to Twi, in my case.
“party foɔ/mma” which fits more shafic’s conceptual analysis is different from “die-hards = yɛde party no atwa w’afuruma”. but yeah doesnt quite matter much
English
@iakarimgh That's interesting. Can we even talk about cadres in NDC? Cos what cadre meant in PNDC is not the same in practice. But yeah, I see an overlap in membership across the board in the cadre class.
English
I am thinking about what "footsoldier" means. Growing up, my understanding of that term was of Wofa Safo, the vulcanizer, who brands his car with party colors in a non-election year. The workmen who gathered at the party "base" by the roadside, or the influential Hajia 1/n

we are due for a good story if we get this right.
the black stars is a harsh terrain. we average a coach every 18 months (1958-2026).
no real aura at home it seems, so abroad we go. the historical ratio = we prefer those to locals by 3:1 despite never winning anything for us.
English
that will cause a surge in every aspect of affairs including how loud ghana supporters union shout.
spice —or maybe aura— more than good coaching is what is needed for an over the line performance at this world cup.
whoever it is ought to be large for the campaign. x.com/theyawofosu/st…

I agree that democracy needs parties. Parties need people willing to do the work. Both things are true. What I think is also true is that the specific form that work takes determines what kind of leaders emerge. A system that selects for demonstrated loyalty over demonstrated capacity will keep selecting for that. Reliably(also see the not so curious case of 🦁 dzata and cohorts)

I've long thought and continue to think that the single dumbest group of people are those who believe that the US Govt fights wars to free the oppressed peoples of the world.
The slightest knowledge of US history shows it far more often imposes dictatorships than uproots them.

This is what terrorism looks like, state terrorism, we do it to others and then we act shocked when others do it back to us.

B1 bridge in Karaj has been hit in US-ISRAELI attacks. This bridge is reportedly the "highest bridge in West Asia."

i really don’t get why politicians speak the way they do.
almost instantly, they have moved from seeing @fourthestategh as an ally for accountability to a bad faith actor who wants to disgrace them, see them lose, or whatever.
The Fourth Estate@fourthestategh
The data the Ministry of Roads and Highways provided to The Fourth Estate on the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu - Nkwanta road was GHS 804 million. The same figure was captured on the Ministry’s website. But the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, posted on social media that the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu- Nkwanta road was rather GHS 683 million (see first frame). He said our figure was a misinformation and called on the public to disregard it. Incidentally, when President Mahama directed the Ministry to respond to our investigations, the Ministry deleted its data on the website. Now the data has been restored and guess what, the cost for the Rehabilitation of Dodo Pepesu and Nkwanta road is back to GHS 804 million (second frame), the same figure the Minister said was a misinformation. The inconsistency is staggering.

@iakarimgh Idiots would tell you his is the unemotional logical stance lmfao.

yeah, wrap this shit up.
cos even if the plan is that we are trying to cash out—as that is all reparations is reduced to— from wealthy crooks who did bad things to us yesterday, why would you say no?
i really don’t understand. like who are you, why are you pushing back? 😂😂
CITI FM 97.3@Citi973
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has dismissed calls for reparatory justice over the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, noting that some indigenes also participated in the inhumane treatment of their people. He, however, condemned the cruel and degrading conditions suffered by the victims. #CitiNewsroom #CitiFM #GhanaNews
