You should be telling the technical enthusiasts in sports this. My mum just want to celebrate a win, she doesn't care whether it's last minute or earlier. To hell with your stats,good football and all that. I wonder if you were expecting Ghanaians to cry rather 🤣🤣
I, Too
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.

Nii Odartey Lanptey with the FIFA U-17 trophy Ghana won in Italy.
He also emerged as the best player of the tournament. He had the whole world ahead of him..
In the background is goalkeeper Ali Jarrah, whose dream was also cut short a few years later, due to injuries.
Naaaa! Ghana is certainly more than 35m people. We have to count again 🧐 This World Cup fever shows Ghana’s population is definitely more, from our brothers and sisters in America 🇺🇸 UK 🇬🇧 to our family members in the Carrebean - Bahamas 🇧🇸 Guyana 🇬🇾 Saint Kitts and Nevis 🇰🇳 Jamaica 🇯🇲 Barbados 🇧🇧 Suriname 🇸🇷 etc “ye ye dom” #Pumpup 💪🏿
A person from Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, Congo, Gabon, Benin, Togo, Cameroon, Gambia, Senegal, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Madagascar, and Ivory Coast should know their people resisted slavery and fought all throughout the Diaspora.
Azumah! A Genius Before Birth.
1. Genius is born, I believe. We carry it in our blood. Sometimes, it shows up in our skill, and with time, we pass it on to our kith and kin as effortless perfection. Genius is born.
2. Azumah's genius started way back in 1835, in Bahia, in the Empire of Brazil, when a group of high-spirited slaves rose up in arms against their Portuguese enslavers.
3. In a violent and bloody struggle, they fought fiercely against their oppressors in what came to be known as the Malê Revolt. Though ultimately suppressed, the rebellion left an enduring mark on the history of Brazil and the African diaspora.
4. A good number of the rebels were Muslims of Hausa and Yoruba origin who had been captured in West Africa and transported across the Atlantic into slavery. And so, the uprising came to be known as the Malê (Muslim) Revolt.
5. And as fate would have it, some Afro-Brazilians would, in later years, return to the coast of West Africa, settling in present-day Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.
6. The Ghanaian group of these Afro-Brazilian returnees, whose chief was Kangidi Asuman, later known as Nii Azumah Nelson I, assimilated among the Ga and formed a subgroup now called Tabom. A name believed to derive from "Tá bom" ("all right" or "it's okay"), a common Portuguese expression frequently heard from the newcomers.
7. And from there, the legend of Ghana's greatest boxing wonder began.
8. That a man descended from Hausa and Yoruba ancestors, captured in Nigeria, enslaved in Brazil, and whose descendants later returned to their ancestral coast, could ultimately become a native son of Ghana raises an intriguing question: who truly is a Ghanaian?
9. But a good matter is short, so let's end it here. On a good day, we'll investigate the ethnogenesis of the Ghanaian people. An inquiry that promises to be revealing.

We'd be hitting almost 40 million population in 2030. Out of UN's 195 countries, only 20% countries have 40m or more people. We need massive investment in infrastructures and human skills or we'd sink millions into poverty. That's why our politics must become a serious business.
Cape Verde received 1.25 million international tourists in 2025, setting a new record in the country.
The country's appearance at the AFCON and FIFA World Cup put it in the spotlight.
Visitors accounted for 6.1 million overnight stays, and the hotel bed occupancy reached 72%.
@AfricaFactsZone The vast majority of hotels have foreign owners. I'm not sure that the capital generated by tourism benefits the Cape Verdean people. The most touristy islands, such as Sal and Boa Vista, have foreign owners who even advise tourists to spend money within the hotels.
@suntoshpillay Passport is R600, how many average South African can afford to spend that on a passport. Higher education is R90000 a year, where would a black South African get find to educate themselves. There are many problems is SA, and the government is to be held responsible not foreigners
Me looking at the stunning infrastructures of Toronto serving 2.8m people that allows it to generate an economy of $193bln. And there's Greater Kumasi with 4.5m begging for a hospital to be operationalized. I hope our VVIPs come back realizing a city needs investments to thrive!

Nkrumah called them the comprador bourgeoisie.
A class whose wealth is tied to facilitating the movement of African resources outward to foreign corporations, foreign markets, foreign banks.
So this class has always had a material interest in keeping Africa fragmented.
The way we quickly assume the West is the blue print for morality is mind boggling. After all the evidence, historically and currently if one still thinks that way, it's a big problem.
You see the energy we are using to defend our countryman because he is ours and everybody is happy?
When all this is done, we will use the same energy to itemise the administrative incompetence that got us here and let him down. Everybody should be happy about that too abeg.
