I can't wait for the whole world - but Ghanaians especially! - to read this book that Yepoka Yeebo has written about the life, lies, and fascinating surprisingly true stories of John Ackah Blay-Miezah.

They call him "Africa's first con man", but just you wait!

Congratulations. I hope the Eritreans who risked their lives in ways I can’t imagine can celebrate too. I hope they are safe.

Seeing what those kids risked to show the truth to the rest of the world made me ask why am I quiet & what do I risk compared to them?

Please watch.
