I still don't understand why Nana Addo and NPP used $5m of taxpayers' money to organise a memorial service for an American citizen George Floyd in Ghana, And yet question why Ghc49M was used to evacuate 1,964 Ghanaians under xenophobic attacks in South Africa to Ghana.
Seven-year prison sentence reportedly handed to ‘Beasts of No Nation’ actor Strika over the vandalism and theft of parts of the Kwashieman pedestrian bridge.

"You no longer need to write prompts."
In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGpt at a level that most people can't even imagine.
It's talk he gave to stanford students. A friend sent me the recording last night.
After watching it, I realized I was only taking advantage of about 15% of what this tool can really do.
Watch it in full and then read the guide l leave below on how to create a system that prompts itself.
I'm a brain surgeon, and I'm gonna show you how to operate your brain the way it's designed, to help you heal the wounds you’ve been carrying; the ones from childhood, from broken relationships, from things said that can’t be unsaid, and from things done that can’t be undone. This is part two, make sure you watch part one also. Let's scrub in and get it done.
Unhealed Wounds Get Rehearsed, Not Just Remembered
Every time you replay a painful memory in anger or self-pity instead of truth, you’re not just remembering it, you’re practicing it. And practice strengthens whatever pathway you’re using.
Neuroscience nugget: Neurons that fire together wire together. Rehearsing a wound with bitterness deepens the very neural pathway that keeps the pain alive, making the hurt easier to access and harder to escape. Don’t violate the 1st commandment of self-brain surgery (No self-malpractice) by letting neuroplasticity work against you.
Remember the 9th commandment of self-brain surgery (”What I’m doing, I’m getting better at”), and rehearse the healing rather than the hurt.
Self-Brain Surgery Procedure:
Catch yourself the next time you start replaying an old hurt for the hundredth time. Stop mid-rehearsal and say, “I will not practice this pain today.”
Replace it with one true, hopeful thought and hold that instead.
Scripture: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable... think about such things.” Philippians 4:8, NIV
This is self-brain surgery. Hard and holy work.
Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this to help when you need to heal. Share it with a friend who's hurting.

“NPP spent $5 million to organise George Floyd’s funeral in Ghana, yet they are questioning Okudzeto Ablakwa over the GH¢49.7 million ($4.37 million) spent on evacuating 1,964 Ghanaians from South Africa.”

Husband: “If anything happens to me, promise me you’ll never marry again.”
Wife: “Why would you say something like that?”
He smiled.
Husband: “Just promise me.”
She laughed.
Wife: “I promise.”
Three months later, he died unexpectedly.
At the funeral, his family barely spoke to her.
His mother even told her:
Mother: “You were only married to him for four years.”
Wife: “He was my husband.”
Mother: “He was my son first.”
She said nothing.
A week later, the family gathered at the lawyer’s office.
Lawyer: “I’m here to read the will.”
His mother sat proudly beside his younger brother.
Mother: “He always told us everything.”
The lawyer opened the document.
Lawyer: “To my wife, I leave $5 million.”
Everyone froze.
His mother stood up.
Mother: “What?”
Lawyer: “Five million dollars.”
Brother: “That has to be a mistake.”
The lawyer shook his head.
Lawyer: “It isn’t.”
His mother turned toward her.
Mother: “You manipulated him.”
Wife: “I never asked him for anything.”
Then the lawyer continued.
Lawyer: “There is one condition attached to the inheritance.”
She looked up.
Wife: “What condition?”
The lawyer looked directly at her.
Lawyer: “You must read the second letter.”
