The world is truly a global village. Sometimes I do things that genuinely baffle me. I mean, I know it’s possible, but I didn’t know it was this possible. 😂
I used my Uber app here in Ghana to order a ride in New Jersey, called the driver, gave him instructions to pick up a car part from a junkyard, and had him deliver it to Golly Express in New York😅
People living outside Ghana gather foreign capital to start businesses back home, contribute their expertise to public discourse, fundraise for activist causes. So what’s this idea that if you leave it means you’ve given up on Ghana? You can abandon Ghana while living right here.
@SIKAOFFICIAL1 The government should look into introducing a program where students from underserved communities are sponsored through university to study fields with critical workforce shortages on the condition that they return to serve their communities for at least five years
In the long term (2026–2050), global required refining capacity additions are projected at 19.3 mb/d. Similar to the medium term, the majority of required long-term additions will be located in developing countries.
Almost 80% of capacity additions will likely materialize before 2040, which is in line with global oil demand trends.

@geniusmankofi Hehehe.
I was generating a work report from a work chat group. The data sorting, grouping, and interpretations. Chat/Gemini always missed some lines. double work. I tried Claude and it didn't even miss a single line, with half the prompt.

There are Ghanaian engineers at NASA.
Ghanaian surgeons running hospital departments in London.
Ghanaian economists at the IMF and World Bank, some of them administering the very programs that have failed their home country.

When given access to resources, institutions, and an enabling environment, Ghanaians perform at the highest levels of every field.
This is not an argument that individual talent solves structural problems.
It is a refutation of the claim that the problem is the people.
The problem is never the people.
The people are everywhere.
The talent is everywhere.
The ambition is everywhere.
The capacity is everywhere.
What is not everywhere is the policy space, the institutional support, the geopolitical backing, the market access, and the freedom from externally imposed economic programs that systematically prevent the conversion of human capacity into collective industrial development.
The difference between a Ghanaian running a department at a London hospital and Ghana having a functioning public health system is not the Ghanaian.
It is everything around the Ghanaian.
A prayer I found in the diary of a young 18th century physician. Had to save to pray the same for myself.
“Lord, Thou knowest what thou art designing to do with me in Life, qualify me for it, and then mercifully call me forth unto it!”
Amen.
