Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury .

I agree with you, every Ghanaian has the burning ambition to travel abroad. No doubt one gets a lot of exposure and knowledge upgrade when you travel to the western world. Nothing wrong with that per se. The problem though is, if you do not have the means to secure a valid visa and travel by legitimate and the safest means ( by air), then you are not ready to travel. Risking one's life by undertaking such hazardous, perilous journeys is just madness. I understand it if one is fleeing from civil war or from seriously unstable areas such as Afganistan or Syria. I wish Ghanaians would value their lives more and wait for the right time to travel if they so want to

There has got to be compelling reasons for people to flee their homes, leaving family and friends to become sojourners and squatters in strange lands that may not be too friendly. What else could the reason be if it's not extreme poverty that leads people to embark on extremely dangerous and and stressful journeys to far off lands because there's political stability at home? Arguably, this migration does not serve the best needs of the people but it gets accepted as the necessary evil. What else can we say than to surmise that this crazy state of the state is an indictment on the inept administration. It has failed to create the enabling environment for job growth. Instead they keep making it increasingly easy for the people to live below the poverty line because of their gross incompetency and massive unprecedentedcorruption. Though most Ghanaian migrants become disappointed when they finally disembark at their destination, they are not at all willing to return to the Land of no Hope any time soon. Some learn rather painfully that it's better to be subjugated to a life of penury and humiliation far away from home than to live in extreme poverty at the home front. What a life!

Some years ago-make it 300 plus - Africans were either sold off by their own kindreds, or ensnared in slave nets and captured like animals.
They were then chained, packed and placed in ship holds to be sold as slaves in the new lands of the Americas.
As should be expected of all humans they resisted their capture, captivity , and servitude. Those who survived the tortuous trans-Atantic slave trade route went on to enrich the new lands( read the nobel economist recipient A.M Lewis's book on the subject).
Now instead of screaming and wailing not to be be enslaved, Africans on their own choice , are scheming to leave the continent to be slavery-lited.
And the African leaders? Yes, have an caveat. A Ghanaian minister was reported to have said ," they have passports they can leave."
Another ducey from an Ethiopian minister "our economic development can't sustain all of our people."
I am an optimist- believe all this shall pass - but, when I see this replay of slavery-lite, it dulls my optimism.
But, I'll keep praying to the African gods on high to help guide the leaders of this natural-resource-rich continent to find and mend their ways.
They should, for the hyenas of this brave new world are once again encircling the continent-the birth place of mankind, to poach them of their prime resources - their people.

16th May, 2015
The recent upsurge in out-migration of Africans from Sub-Saharan African countries to Mediterranean-bound countries has hit international headlines and grabbed the limelight. It must be noted that the migration of Africans across the Sahara Desert to North Africa, and thence to Europe, is not a recent phenomenon.
Students of History recall the trans-Saharan trade which blossomed hundreds of years ago during the apogee and zenith of the old empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai from 300 AD to about 1340 AD, when the Sultan of Morocco, jealous of the glory, wealth, and civilisation of the ancient Songhai Empire, and aided by western-trained mercenaries of Moors and Berbers from Morocco and Spain, literarily shot down the Songhai Empire in 1340 AD, with their newly-acquired armament of guns from Europe, under the rule of Ishak II.
The Songhai army was ill-equipped, wielding spears, swords, and bows and arrows. The hordes of Almoravids and the Moors had earlier on in about 1240 AD, terminated the old Ghana Empire by their incessant attacks, using the occasion to propagate their Muslim religion.
Historians like Dike, Ajayi, Fage, Webster, Basil Davidson, Adu Boahen, F.K. Buah, Agbedeka, Ivor Wilks, Michael Crowder, Addo Fening, among others had written vivid and extensive accounts about those illustrious empires from accounts left behind by ancient Arab and other writers such as Ali Bakry, Ibn Batuta, Ibn Khaldun, Leo Africanus, among others.
However, the recent surge in the unprecedented large numbers of north-bound African migrants rekindles the Akan proverb that states, ‘a rat may not run out in daylight unless it is in great danger or being pursued by a ferocious and formidable prey or foe’. Many youth in West Africa are desperate for something to do for themselves but they see no light at the end of the tunnel for themselves and out of utter frustration and social rejection, they embark on wide adventures up north into uncharted territories, into the Sahara Desert to pursue the Golden Fleece or seek an imaginary El Dorado.
The trans-Saharan trade route linked the forested areas of the Guinea coast to the south of West Africa with the North African countries of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. The ancient Carthaginians from modern day Tunisia, and the Phoenicians from modern day Syria and Lebanon, cherished greatly that trade, as they were among some of the greatest traders and seafarers in the ancient civilised world.
They exchanged dates, fabrics, beads, horses, ornaments, oils, silk and calico, porcelain and urns for forest products such as honey, ivory, feathers, parrots, gold, kola-nuts, and salt, among others. The camel caravan convoys criss-crossed and traversed the large expanse of the desert, from north to south, linking up trading nodes such as Fez, Marrakesh, Gao, Kumbi Saleh, Timbuctoo, Agadiz, Kano, Salaga, Techiman, among others. That trade propped up those ancient African empires as they subsisted on the tax revenue from it. It also attracted great scholars and architects from as far afield as ancient Persia and Egypt.
Just as those fronting and fringing the Atlantic Ocean are lured by the azure expanse of the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to sail on their fishing expeditions, so are those in the forested interior to be challenged by the prospect of crossing the vast sandy Desert to see what lies beyond it. Perhaps, they will find greener pastures beyond the desert. Little will they envisage terrible ordeals awaiting them in those African countries on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and the ordeal of crossing the Middle Sea in dinghies, rafts, and fragile life-saving inflatable craft, amidst tempestuous storms and howling gales.
Hundreds of desperados pay fortunes to be crammed like sardines into the sea-unworthy crafts, and at some point in time, their crafts are marooned at sea without victuals, amidst starvation, sickness, conflict, intimidation, beatings, rape, torture, and at worst, facing the dim prospect of shipwreck or being thrown into the sea by the wicked traffickers, or some severe storms in the boisterous sea taking its toll.
It reminds one of some sailor stories we heard of old concerning sailors sailing past the Bermuda Triangle, or Bay of Biscay, or it reminds one of the ignoble Middle Passage slave ships in the infamous Triangular Trade which saw millions of Africans ferried across the Atlantic Ocean as human cargo from West and Central Africa, and sold under inhumane conditions to slave owners in the Americas, who owned huge cotton, sugar cane, and tobacco estates. Thousands of that human cargo perished at sea due to illness, sea sickness, trauma, starvation, anguish, and torture. And thousands more were successfully ferried across to be offloaded into slavery in the Americas and the Carribean.
It is unusual to find graduates and educated young men and women going on such perilous journeys across the desert as such educated people know too well the high price to pay for such wanton and reckless adventure. Many are the tall tales told by some returnees from Italy and some European countries about the replete of jobs and promise of good jobs in those European countries. Many are the youth who are gullible and easily taken in by such yarns, as they know little about the economic travails and woes of the PIGS countries such as Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain. On enduring an ordeal of the harshest type by crossing the treacherous desert to North Africa, the young adventurers fall from frying pan to fire as they go from bad to worse.
They may be robbed of their meagre possessions by desert brigands and marauders. They may be arrested by gendarmeries and imprisoned under terrible conditions, raped and tortured. Many die of dehydration while crossing the desert. Many lose their bearings or direction as the sandstorms and typhoons and Simoons, and the Harmattan mist obliterate the footpaths on the desert, and without navigational aids, they end up wandering about aimlessly in circles on the wide expanse of sand, till they die of starvation and thirst.
Many are the skeletons found of such unfortunate ones skirting and dotting the grim desert landscape of barkhans, oases, zeugens, sand dunes, wadi, yardang and inselbergs or bornhardts. The lucky ones who make the crossing, find to their consternation and chagrin that there are far more daunting rivers to cross after their seemingly great triumph. They only realise that they have had a Pyrrhic victory. They may be rounded up in the Mediterranean African countries and charged with all sorts of offences.
They may be held for years on end, and eventually they may have a break to cross to Europe via Sicily, or the Island of Lampedusa, or Crete, or Greece, or Malta, or via any of the thousands of islands dotting the Mediterranean Sea such as Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea. Other Greek islands in the Aegean Sea include Rhodes, Samos, Ikaria, Thassos, Lemnos, Chalkida, Lesbos, Cyclades, Zakynthos, and the main Italian islands are Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Elba, Ikaria, Hios, and Thassos.
The new arrivals from the south are brutalised, assaulted, raped, starved, tortured and imprisoned as if we had no African Union or Berne or Geneva Conventions and protocols, or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Most potential and actual migrants are half-educated non-professionals, artisans, mostly male, who are fleeing wars, economic downturn, religious persecution from terrorists, political upheavals, famine, social sequestration, bad governance, low quality of life, rising costs of living, poor standards of living, among other causes.
Some of the worsening conditions in their home countries have been partially caused by poor leadership style, and partly by external global economic pressures which are unleashed on poor countries, such as harsh economic conditionalities imposed on poor countries by donor, multilateral institutions, and creditor countries, among others.
This is why it is imperative to dismantle the New Economic Order which is making millions of people unemployed, and enriching a scanty miniscule of humanity who are the captains of industry, and who are causing the poverty gap to widen more and more through systems of disintermediation, digital-driven online commerce, among others. The escalation in the scale of outmigration to Europe is caused by the big corporate giants who are not willing to employ young people but prefer to do business using robots and computers. They outsource work cheaply, thus creating fewer jobs, all in the name of disintermediation and globalisation.
On the part of the migrants, do they pause to rationally conjecture the choices between staying at home under failed governments and totalitarian regimes on the one hand, and that of going into an unknown country where even severe weather conditions can end their lives prematurely? Our churches, schools, social groups, government outfits, and the general populace have a duty to mentor their youth and dissuade them from embarking on modern day Marco Polo-like or Mungo Park-like adventures, which may lead them to a brutal and undignified demise. Many are the school-dropouts who are roaming the streets in the cities for want of anything useful to do and are governments are unconcerned.
For many years now, I have been thinking of the formation of a Pan-African institution for youth networking and transfer of skills and entrepreneurship to be known as the Great African Society for Social Political Economic Reconstruction Reform and Restoration (GASSPERRR). This organisation will help the youth register and move across boundaries to areas of employment where their skills are needed most. That can be organised under the auspices of the AU and UNDP/ILO/UNIDO/FAO/IFAD. They can be organised as Volunteer Corps and paid decent allowances for the type of tasks they undertake such as offering IT solutions, operating call centres, working on innovative research centres, working on farms, hospitals, emergency operations in Refugee Camps, among others.
There is urgent need for renowned research institutions such as Oxford and Harvard to carry out triangulation research of cross-sectional and time series data gathering to explain the root causes of the upsurge in this trans-Saharan migration. Perhaps, they will discover that failed educational systems, failed governments, electricity blues, unsustainable debt servicing, and inequitable social services distribution, plus lack of social support systems such as subsidised education and medi-care are among the major culprits behind the centripetal and centrifugal pull and push factors which drive this syndrome of trans-Saharan migration syndrome, and the panacea for curing this Pan-Euro migraine may lie within the conjoined efforts of the global community or comity of nations.

Africans are dying on the Mediterranean Sea to go and clean the streets and toilets of Europe because of unemployment and poverty when our own streets are littered with rubbish. Cleaning and maintenance creates a lot of jobs in the west which are filled by Africans.
