In this week's edition of Ghana in Focus we analyse the President of Ghana's address to the nation.  In this address he looked at two specific issues namely COVID 19 and the deal with the IMF.

We state that as a result of this address ALL of the remaining COVID 19 restrictions that had been put in place particularly for arrivals at the airport have been removed. 

For example IT IS NOT mandatory to be vaccinated to come to Ghana, two that one does not need to complete a health declaration  form before coming to Ghana and three that testing at the airport on arrival has been cancelled with immediate effect.

 Next we analyse the comments made about the recent IMF deal securing US$3 Billion.

We pour scorn that the COVID 19 pandemic was the sole reason to justify Ghana going to the Bretton-Woods institution.

We identify some of the consequences which the president did not mention in his address that will affect the vast majority of Ghanaian citizens.

We also touch on some of the machinations of Ghana defaulting to its biggest creditor, China,

We advise that the IMF deal/bailout is NOT the answer to Ghana's economic woes and that the country needs a RESET in its economic strategy to deliver a true economic renaissance that will benefit EVERY Ghanaian.

This week's edition of Afrika in Focus poses the suggestion why Afrika must unite by any means necessary. 

Firstly we take a look at a couple of other stories.

Ghana has reached a board level agreement with the IMF to obtain a US$3 billion bailout over the next 3 years in an attempt to balance its books. 

We maintain that Ghana did not need to go to the  IMF and warn of some of the dire consequences of this agreement.

Next we touch on the issue of the recent COVID 19 vaccinations program and report of the many deaths from the vaccine since it was administered.

We go into our main subject matter looking at why Afrika must unite.

We cite that the map of Afrika we see today is as the result of the wicked Congress of Berlin 1884/1885, where insatiable Europeans carved up Afrika like a pizza into the geo political entities we see today.

We detail where Afrika Day came from and cite the influence Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana had on the formation of the Organization for African Unity (OAU), today's African Union (AU).

We state giving cogent reasons why Afrika must unite given the world geo political order as it stands , the external factors hampering Afrikan unity and the stark consequences of Afrika not uniting.

The week's edition looks at a disturbing trend of why some Afrikans from the Diaspora are leaving Ghana.

The Year of Return was an initiative aimed at promoting Ghana to the Afrikan diaspora.

As a result of this imitative tens of thousands of Afrikans from the diaspora came to Ghana with many others settling and doing business in Ghana.

However for some, the decision to settle in Ghana has turned sour and have gone back to their countries of origin.

We examine some of the reasons why Afrikans from the diaspora are leaving Ghana and advise what can be done to avert this happening in the future.

 This week's edition of Afrika in Focus looks at the coronation of King Charles III and asserts that King Charles is NOT King for us as African people.

We state how the UK media's narrative of the coronation gives a false impression of togetherness and unity.

We state how the Royal family's wealth was founded on the foundation of buying and selling Afrikan people.

Again we state how the pomp and ceremony seen at the coronation was predicated on the exploitation of Afrikan people.  We also mention that the crown that King Charles III wears was in the main made with looted/stolen Afrikan diamonds.

We advise on why King Charles III MUST pay reparations for the Royal family's involvement in the enslavement if Afrikan people.

We end by stating why he is NOT our king and how his kingship will result in the dismembering of the so called commonwealth.

This week's edition of Ghana in Focus  looks at the lot of Ghanaian workers in the light of May Day which is a holiday in Ghana.

This week's edition of Ghana in Focus looks at the effects of Ghana entering into certain conditionality's in order to get a miserly US$3 Billion from the IMF.

We start by asserting that this money is NOT the solution to Ghana's long term financial predicament.

We also re emphasis why Ghana DOES NOT NEED this paltry bailout and indeed it is an insult and an aberration that Ghana has sought to seek this.

We expose the hypocrisy AND LIES of the Finance Minister who vehemently touted that Ghana 'would never go to the IMF'

We analyse the approach the government of Ghana has taken when dealing with both the IMF and its main external creditor China, allowing itself to accept very dubious conditions.

We explain some of the dire consequences  of these conditions in particular the raid on the working Ghanaians' pension funds  and the potential collapse of the banking  and cocoa sectors.

In addition to this as far as the negotiations with China is concerned we speculate on what potentially lies ahead if Ghana is not able to come to an amicable conclusion with China, including losing major assets to China including the Tema Oil Refinery and one of the country's major banks.

We urge Ghanaians to rise up against this wicked debt restructuring programme that will have a profound effect on the country both economically and socially.

We conclude by stating the impending board level agreement with the IMF is not in the country's national interest and jeopardises its sovereignty.

This week's episode of Ghana in Focus looks at the recent visit of US Vice President Kamala Harris to Ghana.

The visit was to further cement ties between the two countries. However the visit was overshadowed by her comments on Ghana 's passage of the anti LGBTQ bill.

We explain why her comments were ill judged and what the hidden agenda of her message was.

We also explain why the United States as a country has NO MORAL right to talk about 'human rights' given its own record in its so called own country by the disgraceful and appalling way it treats its Afrikan citizens.

We analyse the response given by the Ghanaian president who himself once said that gay marriage will NOT be legalised as long as he is president.

We end by stating that Ghana as a sovereign and independent country, has the right to do what is in the national interest and that LGBTQ marriage and relationships WILL NEVER BE LEGALIZED in Ghana !!

This week's edition of Afrika in Focus is a special examining the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jnr who was assassinated 55 years ago on April 4 1968 and asking the question whether Africans in America have lived a dream or a nightmare.

We start by stating that contrary to what has been said Dr King was murdered by the US government and NOT the scapegoat, James Earl Ray.

We state how the constitution of the United States classifies Africans in America as 3/5 of a human being and that despite Africans building America to make the United States the country it is today, America WAS NOT BUILT for Afrikan people.

We also tell of how King was under constant surveillance by the dangerous Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) led by arch anti Black racist, J Edgar Hoover.

We explain some of the reasons why King was murdered by the state including his stance on Black Economic Empowerment.

We then give the reasons why contrary to what many perceive, Africans in America have lived a constant NIGHTMARE including police killings, high unemployment, homicide rates and high incarceration. 

We pour scorn on the so called success stories of the likes of Oprah, Jay Z, LeBron James and Barack Obama by citing the Black Secret Society called The Boule.

We conclude that the ideals Martin Luther King Jr had about the integration of Afrikan people into wider White American society that has NEVER accepted them, never materialised and that Afrikans in America have lived the American Nightmare!!

 This week's episode of Ghana in Focus looks at the disturbing trend of Ghanaian youth leaving Ghana in search of 'greener' pastures.

This is in the light of a report from the Thematic Report on Migration 2021 which revealed that the majority of Ghanaians that are leaving Ghana are aged between 20-49 years of age.

We explore some of the reasons why many Ghanaian youth are seeking to leave Ghana.

We also talk of some of the consequences of  this migration if nothing is done to curb this.

We give suggestions as to what the government can do in order to stem the tide of migration out of Ghana.

We end by warning potential migrants that the West is NOT a land of milk and honey given the recession that Europe and America are in coupled with the cost of living crisis, high costs of rent and food and more importantly the rampant anti Afrikan racism.
