I’ve watched this video several times, and what disturbs me most isn’t the moment the gate closes. It’s everything that happened before it. For five days, these animals returned to the same place, ate the same food, and walked away unharmed. Each visit made the next one easier. Nothing about the environment appeared to change, yet something important was happening. Their behavior was becoming predictable. What looked like an ordinary feeding routine was gradually becoming the foundation of a trap they had no reason to anticipate.

What makes the situation particularly unsettling is the patience of the person behind it. He didn’t need to chase the animals or force them into the enclosure. He simply created the conditions under which they would enter willingly. The food was real, the rewards were immediate, and the consequences remained hidden. While the animals were responding to what was directly in front of them, someone else was thinking several steps ahead. The difference wasn’t physical strength or intelligence alone. It was the advantage of understanding the entire arrangement while the other side understood only its immediate benefits.

And this is where the video becomes a disturbing reflection of human behavior. Not every dangerous arrangement announces itself through cruelty or deception. Some begin with opportunity, generosity, and an extraordinary degree of convenience. People become attached to what consistently rewards them, often without examining the conditions that make those rewards possible. They confuse being accommodated with being valued, being needed with being indispensable, and having access with having control. The danger isn’t necessarily that someone is lying to them. It’s that they may be making permanent decisions based on circumstances someone else can change overnight.

But there’s an even more uncomfortable realization here. The animals didn’t lose their freedom because they wanted food. They lost it because the environment was designed to turn an ordinary need into an opportunity for capture. And that distinction matters. Having needs doesn’t make someone foolish, and accepting help doesn’t make someone weak. The real danger begins when another person understands your dependencies better than you understand their intentions. At that point, they may not need to control your decisions directly. They only need to control the circumstances under which those decisions are made.

What stays with me is what happened after the gate closed. The food remained exactly where it had always been, but the animals’ attention shifted toward the boundaries of the enclosure. I can’t know what they understood, yet the contrast is striking. Nothing about the reward had changed. What changed was their ability to leave. And perhaps that’s something people rarely consider while life is going well. We spend so much time evaluating what an arrangement gives us that we forget to ask what it would cost to walk away from it. Sometimes the true price of a benefit becomes visible only when you try to refuse it.

The lesson I take from this isn’t that generosity should be feared or that trust should be abandoned. It’s that independence requires more than favorable circumstances. It requires understanding who holds the power to change them. Five days were enough to establish a routine, but one moment exposed the limits of that routine. The food was still there. The benefits hadn’t disappeared. Only the freedom to leave had been taken away. And perhaps the most important question isn’t whether you’re comfortable with what someone offers you, but whether your life would still belong to you if they stopped offering it.

Young men. Don’t fall out because of politics. Don’t threaten each other because of politics. Don’t do it. It is okay to choose a side, follow your convictions and support a cause. Preach your policies and principles.

But don’t let emotions drive you to insult everyone, friends family. Don’t destroy relationships.

Don’t attack a brother/sister because they don’t believe in what you do.

There is an unspoken unity at the very top.

Don’t destroy yourselves. Those who chose insults and attacks in the past, and destroyed relationships, continue to live with eternal regrets.

The whole game is schemed.

I’m not saying Ghanaians are perfect; there is so much I don’t know about their internal politics. But I must say, I see the Nkrumah effect in their geopolitical posture. There is something about having a revolutionary ancestor that becomes deeply embedded in the orientation of a country’s public servants.

I remember their foreign minister knocking down a U.S. senator on Twitter some time ago when he sounded disrespectful, and the line he used was something like, “This is Nkrumah’s nation.” That was a proud moment for me.

Where Is Nigeria’s President?

The dynamic President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, delivered a remarkable address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. The international community has commended his leadership and the substance of his address. It is a reminder of what leadership can produce when competence, capacity, compassion, commitment and character come together in the service of a nation.

Against this background, many are asking: Where is the President of Africa’s most populous nation, a country of more than 200 million people - more than Ghana - whose leader has been absent from the global stage for three consecutive UNGAs?

Nigeria’s President, who ought to be representing the country and providing leadership for Africa at the international level, has not attended any of these three global gatherings. Where is he, particularly at a time when the country faces significant challenges, both domestically and internationally?

Although our Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was present, the question remains: Where is the President? Let us continue to pray for his return and for his leadership in addressing the many challenges confronting the nation.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

A staged robbery, a grieving widow, and the confession that unraveled it all

On the night of 15 June 2013, Abdul Karim was killed in his home at ACP Estates, Pokuase. At about 9:35 p.m. His wife, Salamatu Karim, called the police. Her account was that armed robbers had broken in and killed her husband while she was bathing.

By the time officers arrived, Abdul Karim had already been rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A post-mortem revealed a fractured skull, a fractured mandible, and injuries consistent with a sustained, deliberate beating.

The case remained unresolved until the police made headway while investigating a different crime. While probing an unrelated attempted robbery, they arrested a man named Kofi Nyagbedzi. In the course of that separate matter, Nyagbedzi gave police information that pointed them toward two other men: Awudu Alhassan Sulemana, known as "Dozer," and Mohammed Sulemana, known as "Banana."

Police tracked the pair down and arrested them at Dodowa.Under interrogation, Dozer and Banana gave statements that changed the whole complexion of the case. According to the prosecution, both men admitted the initial unsolved "robbery" had been staged. There were no strangers breaking in. The person who let them into the house that night, they said, was Salamatu Karim herself, the victim's own wife, and sister to Dozer.

The prosecution's case was that Salamatu recruited Dozer and Banana, let them into the house, hid them in the bathroom, pointed out her husband to them when the moment came, supplied the weapon, and promised to pay them afterward. Dozer was convicted of murder and conspiracy, Banana of conspiracy, and Salamatu, though she never struck a blow herself, of abetment of murder for the role the confessions said she played in setting it up. All three were sentenced to death.

They appealed, first to the Court of Appeal, which affirmed the convictions in November 2018, then to the Supreme Court. Counsel for the three appellants, Raphael Alijina Debrah, raised thirteen grounds of appeal, which really came down to four arguments: that the confession statements should never have been admitted, that the trial judge's directions to the jury were flawed, that the evidence did not prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt, and that the Court of Appeal was wrong to affirm the convictions.

On the confessions, the Supreme Court noted that the trial judge had held a mini trial specifically to test whether the statements were voluntary, assessed the credibility of the men who gave them, and found they were freely made. The Court said a finding like that, made by the judge who actually watched and heard the witnesses, is not something an appellate court should casually override, and it saw no reason to hear.

On the jury directions, the Court found nothing wrong either. It described the summing-up as balanced, comprehensive, and legally accurate.

On Salamatu, her lawyers argued the evidence against her did not go far enough to prove abetment beyond reasonable doubt. The Court disagreed. It pointed to what her own husband's killers had said about her role: letting them in, hiding them, pointing out the victim, and helping conceal the crime afterward. Taken together with the medical evidence showing this was no chance robbery but a deliberate, coordinated attack, and with the testimony of the prosecution's key witness, the Court found the picture complete. Someone had to let the killers in and tell them which man to strike. The evidence said that person was her.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in full. The convictions and death sentences for all three, Dozer, Banana, and Salamatu Karim, were affirmed.

Case title: Awudu Alhassan Sulemana @ Dozer, Mohammed Sulemana @ Banana & Salamatu Karim v. The Republic, Supreme Court of Ghana, Criminal Appeal No. J3/1/2020, judgment delivered 29 July 2026.

His Excellency John Dramani Mahama and the NDC Government have done commendably well in positioning Ghana 🇬🇭 as a respected global leader in diplomacy.

The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has equally worked tirelessly to project Ghana 🇬🇭 onto the international stage as a country of integrity and a leader in democracy in Africa.

This hard-earned reputation must not be dented by the actions of a few self-serving individuals who may seek to illegally enrich themselves at the expense of the State.

Accordingly, I believe the reported seizure by French authorities of a cocaine consignment valued at approximately $260 million must be thoroughly investigated, and any persons found culpable must be brought to book.

Ghana’s international reputation is a national asset. It must be protected through transparency, accountability and the uncompromising enforcement of the law.

@eastsportsman There's a kingpin somewhere in the country using our loose systems to push these stuff.

Port authorities should come clear on how it was shipped without being flagged.

Not much is expected though; party communicatiors will play political football with it.
