1. Ghanaian society used to be such that when an opposition party (the NPP) lost an election (in 1992), they wrote a BOOK ("stolen verdict") and made it a part of their lore and heritage.
2. Legendary speeches and books with grand names like "the Ghanaian Sphinx" were the stuff of political legend.
3. Today, so called "communicators" for political parties swamp Facebook and radio to openly dismiss careful analysis. People who have done no research and have read zero data mouth things like, "the game is on the ground", as if their opponents are too dumb to also know such a trivial fact.
4. Granted that the game is on the "ground", and two well-matched parties are locking horns. Isn't that even more the reason why analysis, research, and gaining every edge by targeting every niche whether on Facebook or chopbars to elevate your play would matter?
5. Anyway, read why it was impossible for Ghana's Veep to win this election in the attachment below. If you want more, the full essay is here:

6. As a young person interested in politics, policy, or public affairs, don't drift to lazy opinions because they align with your biases and are thus easier to take.
7. Be critical. Seek understanding. Look for lucid analysis from all corners, and fashion your strategy from an informed position.
8. You don't have to like the source of ideas or insights to benefit from them.
The word #Ghana is superfluous here👇, in the sense that everyone already knows that Ghana 🇬🇭 is the only country that produces quality #jollofrice, right?
There may be another West African country (the name escapes me) that claims to produce jollof, but who’d want to buy that?

@NAkufoAddo Ghana made 3.3bn from year of return initiatives from the African American diaspora. Is there a reason for your silence on the ongoing protests over racism in the US against African Americans? @konkrumah#blacklivesmatter#GeorgeFloyd
