It was a busy day for me, yesterday. but I managed to wade through the day. Snow fell overnight and still falling. I called the nursery and they were open but not sure if they stay open the rest of the day. Heck! I still took my daughter there anyway so she can join other kids at the nursery to make snowman so that I can have the focus on work. Got there and they turned us back saying some staff had phoned in to take a day off. Its great being a dad but sometimes it makes no sense when you look into the future based on what is happening today especially as an African. Being an aware African living in the west can be quite challenging and sometimes depressing. It looks bad for the African from anywhere he exists and worst on the continent we all call home.
I happen to stumble upon a news item titled “In The Name Of Oil, Ghana Is Already Swimming in a Flood of Debt”. Given the recent gains made by the people of Ghana in sustaining what is beginning to take the shape of a democratic system we can be forgiven for singing the praises of the Ghanaian leadership. Ghana has found oil which has attracted the foreign parasites. They have smelt blood and are circling with their mouth wide open and fang-like teeth exposed and ready to hack into the pie.
