“Master of my fate…”
08 Feb 2010 | 08:35 AM
|
| I watched an unforgettable movie over this past weekend. ‘Invictus’ should most definitely be one of the best movies I ever watched. Incidentally, the man playing the leading role in ‘Invictus’, Morgan Freeman, also plays the lead role in my favourite movie of all time – ‘Shawshank Redemption’.

04 Feb 2010 | 07:11 AM
|
| On Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 09:53:10 PM, a 7.3- magnitude earthquake caused massive devastation across Haiti. I only got to hear of it on CNN on Wednesday morning as I was preparing to leave for work. I was amazed and touched by the aid pouring in for the Haitians. ... |

Baby Ansaba’s shameful confessions
03 Feb 2010 | 09:02 AM
|
| I felt very ashamed hearing Baby Ansabah speak about how he deliberately published fabricated stories to make the then candidate Mills unpopular.
Ansabah (whose real name is Ebenezer Ato Sam) is the editor of the crappy ‘Punch’ newspaper. In his previous job as editor of the Daily Guide, Ansabah was ... |

Ready to shame Lugard?
02 Feb 2010 | 09:41 PM
|
| I just read this excerpt from a book written by Lord Frederick John Dealty Lugard. He is a former colonial master and a dormitory at Achimota School – Lugard House – is named after him.
“In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable ... |

THE BLACK STARS: Shining again
31 Jan 2010 | 08:42 PM
|
| It was their best performance in the tournament. Yet it was the performance that ended the incredible journey of a youthful, inexperienced Black Stars squad that had been written off by so many.
Having forced me to eat humble pie on more than one occasion over the past three weeks, ... |

GHANA VRS NIGERIA: More than football
28 Jan 2010 | 09:03 AM
|
| Two teams that had been written off at the start of the African Cup of Nations in Angola are just two matches away from lifting the trophy. But one must eliminate the other before the cup gets within reach.
At the start of the tournament a lot of Ghanaians, probably ... |

APPRECIATION: My favourite teacher
27 Jan 2010 | 08:03 AM
|
| As a teenager, who had just gained admission into St John’s School, I was confronted with all sorts of temptations. I had been a stubborn chap in basic school and in secondary school there was the temptation to take it to a different level. Waywardness beckoned. There were new freedoms ... |

Reshuffling ‘Team B’
26 Jan 2010 | 07:51 AM
|
| President Mills’ first reshuffle of his governing team took too long in coming. Now it has come and it’s left many people scratching their heads – or other parts of the anatomy below the waistline. What is the president thinking?
Having been criticized for fielding a second-string team, the president ... |

Football-induced heartbreak
24 Jan 2010 | 11:00 PM
|
| I am devastated.
I just can’t believe that la Cote d’Ivoire is out of the African Cup of Nations and Ghana is still in contention. I tipped our western neighbours to lift the cup and never in my wildest dreams did I see an inexperienced Black Stars squad to go ... |

A humble pie from the Black Stars
19 Jan 2010 | 09:33 PM
|
| I am eating a lot of humble pie tonight. I stuck my neck out and predicted that the Black Stars will be kicked out of the African Cup of Nations today. But they proved me wrong with a one goal triumph over Burkina Faso.
With that they’ve qualified for the ... |
