@YuriABezmenov @carolecadwalla You mean the later reconstructions after the backlash! Jokes on you!

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@cianin_c @HerraYliJeesus @jessy_nguema @carolecadwalla You need comprehension education as well! I said exactly that!

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@YuriABezmenov @carolecadwalla The science is free. Read it and bring evidence!

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@BigJuice415 @carolecadwalla That’s not even a slur mate. African populations retain the greatest levels of human genetic diversity. The lack of fossil genome for some ancestry just prove the depth of variations in there.

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@YuriABezmenov @carolecadwalla Yea, but ape-like

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@Djallonka_Badiu @carolecadwalla Probably running around with 7%

This sums it up! You guys have no idea about evolution, haven’t read a single scientific paper, and are throwing out religious creation stories. So let me explain it like I would to kids.

Think of human evolution like an X app running on an operating system- Windows, iOS, Android, whatever.

Africa is the deepest operating system of the human evolutionary history.
Every DNA alive or extinct traces back to Africa and African populations retain the greatest levels of human genetic diversity including those that cannot be trace anywhere except them. That’s not a ghost DNA, that’s genetic lineages and variants preserved by the operating system.
In any case, evolution been on for millions of years, those who appeared 5000-7000 years ago through mutations and common selection of SLC24A5, SLC45A2 and TYRP1 variants are just a lil app on the system. Enjoy the app! What you dont do is to slander and try to uninstall the operating system! Just as you have tried many times!

One dashboard. 261 districts. 16 indicators. This is how you make an argument no politician can wave away.
If you want a policymaker to take you seriously, don't bring an opinion. Bring the district's number, next to every other district's number.
That's what STRATA does. It's a free tool I built with all 16 key indicators from the 2021 census, across all 261 districts in Ghana. Housing, education, water access, employment — whatever the argument is about, you can pull the exact figure in seconds.

New additions to the free tools:
📊 Spatial Stats Lab
A browser-based space to explore and run spatial statistics and quantitative analysis without opening a full GIS workflow.
Analyses available:
Global Moran’s I
Local Moran’s I (LISA)
Getis-Ord Gi* Hotspot Analysis
Nearest Neighbour Analysis

📐 Statistical Test Toolkit
Need to quickly test whether your data show meaningful differences or relationships? This toolkit brings common statistical tests and diagnostics into a simple browser workflow.
12 tests can be performed:
· Z-Test (One Sample) — sample mean vs a hypothesized population mean, using the normal distribution (best if σ is known or n is large).
· T-Test (One Sample) — sample mean vs a hypothesized value when σ is unknown, using the t-distribution.
· Independent T-Test — compare means of two independent groups (Welch by default; optional pooled/Student’s t).
· Paired T-Test — compare two related measurements on the same units (e.g. before vs after).
· Chi-Square Test (Goodness of Fit) — whether one categorical variable’s observed frequencies match expected proportions.
· Chi-Square Test (Independence) — whether two categorical variables are associated.
· ANOVA (One-Way) — compare means across 2+ groups (typically 3+).
· Correlation (Pearson) — linear association between two continuous variables.
· Simple Linear Regression — fit Y on X and test whether the slope differs from 0.
· Mann–Whitney U Test — non-parametric alternative to the independent t-test (ranks / distributions of two groups).
· Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test — non-parametric alternative to the paired t-test.
· Kruskal–Wallis Test — non-parametric alternative to one-way ANOVA (2+ groups).
There is also an Explore My Data helper that recommends which of these tests fit your columns, plus optional binning of a numeric column into groups so t-test / Mann–Whitney / ANOVA / Kruskal–Wallis can be used.

🏘️ SDG 11 Calculator
A practical tool for assessing Sustainable Development Goal 11indicators and exploring how cities and settlements perform against key dimensions of sustainable urban development.

🛡️ Multilayered Vulnerability & Resilience Assessment (MVRA)
Bring multiple dimensions of vulnerability and resilience together to support a more integrated spatial assessment of places and communities.

Ghana Standard of Living Explorer
Explore Ghana’s GLSS 2005–2017 data and examine patterns in living standards and socioeconomic conditions over time.

🗺️ Shapefile Explorer — drop a .zip shapefile or an X/Y .csv, inspect and style by column instantly
📍 Service Coverage Lite — accessibility analysis: origins, destinations, catchments, gaps
🌊 Plot Checker Ghana — land due diligence: upload a parcel, get a flood-risk and tenure read
🏠 FABRIC — what Ghana's houses are made of, by district, from the 2021 census
📊 STRATA — 16 census indicators across all 261 Ghana districts, mapped and comparable
📈 Data-to-Dashboard Lite — any spreadsheet in, a drag-built dashboard out — exports to PDF/Word/PPTX
Population Explorer - Lite lets you draw a boundary directly on a map or upload one, or search a place and it computes population statistics for exactly that shape, using WorldPop's 2020 population raster (1km resolution, open data, CC BY 4.0). You get total population, area, density, an estimated household count, and an urban/high-medium-low density breakdown, plus charts and an export tab.

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

How to use: open the file in your browser, drop your data in. That's it. Nothing to install, no ArcGIS/QGIS or API required, nothing uploaded, everything stays on your machine, and it's totally free. If there's a dataset you've been putting off, try one and tell me where it breaks. Cheers!

Planning and GIS work general sucks: ArcGIS licences, hours of processing, a full afternoon just to answer one question a client or a district assembly needed by morning. Most planners, students, and researchers don't have that licence, that training, or that afternoon. So I built free browser tools that skip all of it.

INTERPOL's new African Cyberthreat Assessment finds AI now drives over half of reported cybercrime across the continent, with losses roughly doubling since 2024.

Every AI-for-governance pitch should have to answer what it does about this, not just bias metrics. https://t.co/5byXpKFpHY

@ValMThatcher @benryanwriter Rest Val. It will still not be acceptable.

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@NevinClimenhaga Such a selfish thing to do. Properly citing your claims is not academic writing. Shame on you😂

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

@memneon @MonkEmma You seem to be going from post to post posting this same rubbish. For what exactly? Attention? Pathetic!

[Yaw Asuah @yawasuah]

Exactly, Mr DEI, you really do know how to describe yourself: bitter, envious, and desperately looking for someone else to blame for your miserable life. Unfortunately, there’s no cure for that.
And here’s the irony: your skin colour won’t carry you anywhere if you’re lazy. Neither will mine. Maybe spend less time thinking other people’s opportunities are DEI and more time earning your own.
