Nigeria Trip Summer of 2023. Part 1

1 hour of ghanaian and nigerian afrobeats

The backdrop for this discussion is based on my observations as an immigrant African myself living thru the mid 90s in America and how my own personal views on African Americans were shaped by my experiences from attending a university with a strong African American studies program

Secrets in a marriage, African students stranded in Ukraine, and other things.

So basically between talking to friends and family and following on social media all the things that are going on in Ghana right now for the past couple of months, I couldn't make an episode without talking about what's happening over there presently. The average Ghanaian I am sure didn't think that things would get this bad but it has. All we can do is hope that our leaders will implement some me...

The finale and conclusion of my trip to Ghana in the year of the return

My musings on observations that i made while down there on the motherland such as the lack of pro-activeness on the part of Africans, the healthcare system and how your African relatives receive you when you return home. 

Why no one is taking the supposed cure for corona from Madagascar seriously and how it is a reflection on African leadership. Nigerians spent $1b in medical tourism in 2013. Could there have been a way to keep this money in Nigeria? There a lot of unemployed youth in African nations. Can we harness their energy and channel it into something that will benefit their nations?

On today's episode I talked about a whole bunch of stuff. A departure from the chronicles of my trip to Ghana. That will resume on the next episode. I talk about the going with the flow when your plans are disrupted, the Corona virus, Cameroon, being a Taurus male, and whatever else came to my mind.
