I wanted to gather my thoughts because I was really pissed off.
I'm perplexed by the attitude of the new generations, who normalize insults based on physical attributes or skin color, as well as publicly bullying a kid just because they're emotionally upset.
The problem isn't rewarding someone for letting his tablet get stolen.
But it's not sending the message that it's normal to mock a more sensitive kid. Fortunately, Benjamin was showered with love and got his tablet back.
He expressed his desire to play football, and we offered him a full scholarship for next year.
Joining Juventus he’ll have a special coach in Kwadwo Asamoah.
I met the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority Caucus today to chart a clear and strategic path forward for @NPP_GH and Ghana. Our focus is to rebuild and offer credible alternatives and to hold the government accountable.
Unity and evidence-based leadership will define our conduct both inside and outside Parliament. The work to restore confidence and secure a better future for Ghana begins now.

Romelu Lukaku: "I played with so much anger, because of a lot of things … because of the rats running around in our apartment … because I couldn’t watch the Champions League … because of how the other parents used to look at me.
I was on a mission.
When I was 12, I scored 76 goals in 34 games.
I scored them all wearing my dad’s shoes. Once our feet got to be the same size, we used to share.
One day I called up my grandfather — my mum’s dad. He was one of the most important people in my life. He was my connection back to Congo, where my mum and dad are from. So I was on the phone with him one day, and I said, “Yeah, I’m doing really well. I scored 76 goals, and we won the league. The big teams are noticing me.”
And usually, he always wanted to hear about my football. But this time it was strange. He said, “Yeah, Rom. Yeah, that’s great. But can you do me a favor?”
I said, “Yeah, what is it?”
He said, “Can you look after my daughter, please?”
I remember being so confused. Like, what’s Grandad on about?
I said, “Mum? Yeah, we’re cool. We’re O.K.”
He said, “No, promise me. Can you promise me? Just look after my daughter. Just look after her for me, O.K.?”
I said, “Yeah, Granddad. I got it. I promise you.”
Five days later he passed away. And then I understood what he really meant.
It makes me so sad to think about, because I just wish that he could have lived another four years to see me play for Anderlecht. To see that I kept my promise, you know? To see that everything was going to be O.K.
I told my mum that I would make it at 16.
I was late by 11 days."
