In Ghana, this ignorance is partly because of "indirect" rule, where the colonial authorities ruled through chiefs in back-door political deals that most people were not privy to.

It was these chiefs that sold the fairy-tale, but what else would one expect them to say?

It was a clever system that had earlier been perfected in India and other colonies: some ethnic groups were made to feel privileged at the expense of others, so that they would be too busy fighting each other to notice that they were being manipulated. The privileged group would then feel a special affinity, but they were being used just the same.

I can’t forget the visualization below of the scale of a billion dollars. It is why I laugh when the number is carelessly thrown around by Nigerians.

According to Mark Cuban, getting wealth at this scale is more about luck than skill or knowledge. You can’t get it linearly, only from exponential growth.

The question we should ask if we seriously want to get wealth at this level is how many opportunities are open to an African to create exponential growth in any offering?

In America and elsewhere, the market rewards people for creating that level of growth largely through valuation of future prospects and the probability of gaining more as exponential growth continues.

We got a brief taste of those valuations in tech simply because foreign money decided to make some bets on entities that are still legally in their own country but operating in Africa.

The way those companies are currently valued gives an idea of what they think about our markets but it is not always the reality on ground. The most objective measure is income and we are now slowly proving that previous valuations make sense.

Getting to the point of creating individual billionaires is still far away unless we unlock further exponential growth opportunities. Speculation won’t create more billionaires.

The government route has largely helped to create our current dollar billionaires by giving them advantage in areas where exponential demand was present. Those areas still have opportunities for growth.

Someone sent me a deck and said he was trying to raise $10 Billion dollars, after laughing, I started to seriously look at the opportunities in the sector. The conclusion I reached with my cousin was that the only way to invest money and make money at that scale is to be in bed with the government.

This is the bitter reality of Nigeria.

Bleeding Out in the Halls of Korle Bu: A National Tragedy in Broad Daylight
By Dr. Sangu Delle

There is no pain quite like holding the lifeless body of someone you love; someone who was a father to you, and knowing they died not because medicine failed, but because the system did.

He died at @KBTH_GH —our premier flagship hospital. He died because there was no blood. He bled out while we scrambled to find units of something that should be basic in a national hospital. By the time the blood arrived, he was gone.

And yet, this wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a revelation.

From the moment we entered Korle Bu, we were plunged into a bureaucratic nightmare. Every department had its own cashier. I sprinted between buildings, trying to pay for care while the man I loved was fighting for his life. And even after death, the indignity continued. We waited two whole days just for a death certificate. Some of the staff were cold and callous. There was no mercy, no decency…just indifference.

Korle Bu is not broken by accident. It is broken by design. Apathy and dysfunction are the rule, not the exception.

There were a few bright lights. My brother Prof Titus Beyuo was instrumental in helping us get an ICU bed. The ICU nurses were phenomenal; compassionate, competent, deeply human. Mr. Okain at the Korle Bu blood bank worked tirelessly to help us. Madam Shirley, CEO of the National Blood Bank, was personally supportive and did everything in her power. But even their heroism could not overcome a system designed to fail.

What broke me most? I had to show my business card. “Dr. Delle.” Only then did things move. Only then did people snap to attention.

But what of the next man who doesn’t have a title?
What of the woman without a name that commands respect?

Every citizen deserves dignity.
Every Ghanaian deserves care.

We need urgent, unapologetic reform:

1. Reform the National Blood Bank: Digitize the entire supply chain. Track inventory, predict shortages, and move fast. Blood should be available before tragedy strikes—not after.

2. Patient-Centered Payments: End the madness of decentralization. One payment portal. One system. No more scavenger hunts while patients die.

3. Restore Humanity in Care: Train hospital staff not just in medicine, but in compassion. Health care is not just science; it is service.

4. Accountability at the Top: The Ministry of Health must urgently intervene. We need a public action plan ASAP to address the dysfunction at Korle Bu.

To the Hon. Minister of Health, this is your moment of truth. Please act. Please. Korle Bu must not be remembered as just another horror story. It must be RESET!

To those in charge: You may not have caused this death. But if you do nothing, you are complicit in the next.

Let this not happen again. Not to another father. Not to another soul.

I recently designed 50 exclusive chess sets using Adire patterns, and I’m selling each one for 1 million naira(600 dollars)

If you buy a set, I’d personally deliver it to you + a free chess lesson/game.
Will put half the profit into a fund for building a free school in Nigeria.

If you followed a lion all day long and witnessed the lion’s struggle for life, to eat, and at the end of the day the lion had caught and eaten a gazelle, you would probably be happy for the lion.

If you started the same story by following a gazelle and witnessed the gazelle’s struggle for life, to not be eaten, and at the end of the day the gazelle was eaten by a lion, you would probably be devastated.

The same event. Two different narratives. Two different emotions. So if you chose a different starting point, the same event can create two different judgments in a person. A person’s sense of justice depends LARGELY on which story he follows and for how long. Justice very often is nothing more than the direction we’re facing when the story begins.
