This week's edition of Afrika  in Focus highlights Australia as the country celebrates 'Australia day'.

We first give an historical overview of Australia and state that Australia is a Afrikan/Black country. We highlight the original people of Australia, the 'Aboriginal' people have lived in Australia for more than 60,000 years.

We  state how before the coming of the British/European, The Aboriginal people had a culture, tradition and a set of principles and guidelines under their Dreaming value system.

We then chart the beginning of the destruction of the Aboriginal people when the first British and we have to call them terrorists land in Botany Bay in 1788.

We state that how through a deliberate policy of genocide and extermination in an attempt to wipe out the Aboriginal people , a population of about 3 million before 1788 was reduced to about 500,000 in  1901 when Australia became the federated country it is today.

We also state how The British had a deliberate policy of 'whitening' Australia by having an  open door immigration policy to allow Europeans / white  people to 'settle' in Australia.

We then raise the stark inequalities and systemic oppression the Aboriginal people in Australia, their own country, suffer from.

We end by stating that Australia IS AN Apartheid STATE!!

This week's edition of Afrika in Focus analyses the war in the so called Middle East.

We give an Afrikan perpective on this conflict and insist this is not an Afrikan concern.

We begin by highlighting the FACT that those who are fighting in that area of land are NOT indigenous to the so called Middle East.

We chronicle the history of the area and highlight the origin of the Israeli / Palestine conflict began with British rule in what was called Palestine and the issuance of the Balfour declaration.

We then turn our focus to the disturbing notion of what seems like the global Afrikan community supporting  the Palestinian cause.

We explain why this support is ill judged and ill informed highlighting the vile anti Afrikan racism in Palestine itself against Afrikan Palestinians.

We also highlight the wider anti Afrikan racism in the so called Arab world and point out why Afrikans should not be blindly supporting Arabs given this history of anti Afrikan racism.

We end by stating the Afrikan concern should be for the wider global Afrikan community such as police brutality against Afrikans in the United States and Brazil, communal violence in Jamaica and the big one being the slaughter and genocide taken place in DR Congo.

This week's episode of Ghana in  Focus celebrates Ghanaian farmers in the form of Farmers' Day.

We start by explaining the reason for celebrating farmers' day.

We then go into detail about why food and agriculture are an important part of human development and nation building.

We detail how Ghana became food secure under Ghana's first president Dr Kwame Nkrumah to how Ghana  today is food insecure where it cannot grow enough food to feed its population.

We state how other nations have become food secure and explain what steps Ghana needs to take in order for it to be food secure and create the jobs and much needed revenue that derive from investing in agriculture.

We also state how food can be used as a weapon of war to vulnerable countries hence why Ghana needs to be food secure.

This week's episode of Afrikan in Focus looks at tourism on the continent.

We shine the spotlight on one of the most developed and captivating cities on the continent , Luanda in Angola.

We give a brief overview of Angola before delving into Luanda.

Luanda is a coastal city and like many coastal cities on the western part of the continent was a transit point where many enslaved Africans were taken to the so called New World namely Brazil.

In actual fact Brazil has the second largest African population outside of Africa after India and Brazil has a massive African influence from food to fashion to music and the arts

We then delve into some of the fantastic places of interest this captivating modern African City has to offer.

We highly recommend  Luanda with its modern infrastructure, culinary delights, stunning scenery and vibrant nightlife as a place on the continent to visit.

This week's episode of Ghana in Focus ends our series for now looking at dating / relationships in Ghana. 

This week we focus on Ghanaian men and the things ladies / sisters from the diaspora need to watch out for.

Since the year of return on 2019 tens of thousands of Afrikan women from the diaspora have come to Ghana to relocate do business  and to find love.

We start by warning our sisters from the diaspora that you are targets for some unscrupulous Ghanaian / Afrikan men because of the perception of what you stand for .  Again we highlight that lighter skin Afrikan / Black men are  sought after by Ghanaian men.

We urge sisters to be mindful that some men may target you not necessarily for love but what they can get from you and what they think you are such as a meal ticket or a chance to go to the West.

We also advise sisters on some of the behavioural traits of some Ghanaian men such as bad time keeping (Ghana Man Time GMT), being very deceitful and also lying about the fact they may have  a girl on the side-lines who they might refer to as my sister.

We urge sisters to tread very carefully when dating in Ghana,

We again urge Afrikan men from the diaspora to be very careful when dating in Ghana.

We mention some of the signs that a Ghanaian/ Afrikan woman is either interested or not interested in you the man and some of the things to look for as a man.

We caution Brothers from using  websites to find a match as these are often  fraught with risks such as losing thousands of US Dollars by unscrupolous girls.

We also touch on another aspect of relationships that being marriage.  Should the relationship develop where it leads to marriage we give some pointers as to what to do and what to expect as a man marrying into a Ghanaian family.
