we give our children english names, punish students who speak our mother tongue in primary schools, we shouldn’t be the one talking about this. we’re literally the ones moving away from our identity.
Reminds me of this Ghanaian actor in this British comedy called Desmond’s. He said he was from Guyana because people didn’t know Ghana. It’s a lazy and convenient way out of explaining something, not an easier way.
After all, if you don’t teach people, how will they also learn?
Matthew 5:3 NIV
[3] “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
This is the word of the Lord......thanks be to God.
I wish everyone a positive day ahead today.
Good morning, fam
Rich Ghanaian parents pay $18,000 a year at DPS International. $16,000 at Tema International School. Why?
Because their kids do the IB Diploma. SATs. Strong English. Strong essays. So they go straight to Harvard, MIT, Yale, Cornell on full scholarships.
Meanwhile, a brilliant kid in Kasoa, Tamale, or Ho is doing WASSCE thinking the best he can hope for is Legon or KNUST.
Same brain. Different information.
The rich kids aren’t smarter than you. They just had parents who knew the game.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You don’t need DPS. You don’t need TIS. You don’t need rich parents.
I sold sachet water in Ghana. I went to Berea College on a full scholarship. Now I’m a software engineer in Dallas.
My friends from humble homes did it too. From WASSCE straight to top US universities. Full ride.
The system was hidden from us. Not from them.

Valencia lost Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in 2000 and 2001. Since 2001, the Los Che have never smelled another final
Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in 2014 and 2016. It's been 10 years now, no final appearance for the Rojiblancos
