About four weeks ago, I arrived in Ghana from the US.
Within 3 hours of arriving in Ho, I was nearly involved in a fatal accident at K.K House in Ho.
This near-accident occurred because the traffic light system regulating traffic at the KK. House Junction stopped working, so drivers drove through the intersection using their own judgment and discretion.
I nearly became statistics.
I spent the midnight drafting a petition to the Ministry of Roads, the MCE, the Regional Minister, and the Roads and Safety Authority.
I served a copy of the Office of the Attorney General, indicating that I will sue within 30 days if this isn't done.
Within 4 days, the traffic light was repaired.
Ghana can only work if we are willing to compel it to work. Our leaders are sleeping. We must either remove them or compel them to work.
With sufficient funding, we can begin a nationwide accountability process that gets things done.
I have seen how it is done in the US. It is possible. But first, we need funds!
Think about it! Help if you can.
Solving my own problems โ introducing Chime!
Sometimes you lose track of time while working or in focus mode. Calendar notifications come but you miss them because they're subtle and designed not to interrupt your flow.
Well, not Chime ๐
Chime gives you full-screen alerts minutes before every meeting; giving you time to actually prepare. It also works with your Reminders app (both macOS & iOS).
It's impossible to ignore.
Works with Google calendar, Outlook, etc.
Check thread for waitlist!

My people, it's crunch time. We have just 5 hours left to break a new world record for the longest chess marathon, and our mission to raise a million dollars for children's education has become our top priority. This is our purpose, our reason for being here.
Let's demonstrate to the world the incredible power of love. Together, we can make this happen.
