Introducing my YouTube Channel!
I have been dedicated to keeping this blog since my teen years and my or my am I happy that I did that. However, I’m developing beyond what purely blogging permits me, and I’m less scared of producing content that shows a more personal side to me now that I’ve grown a bit more into…

Pretty Words, Ugly People: Human Rights throughout Western History
You know, humanities classes are very different from science classes. There’s no extended periods of time when the professor just talks and talks, there’s little structure to my notes, and whatever comes out of the class is usually based entirely from what we as students discuss. This is roughly what I got from my seminar.

On A Man for All Seasons Popularity; Why I think it’s a modern classic
Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons continues to take the world by storm after almost a thousand performances since 1960.

Poetry Slam Fridays: What thing is love?
Ah, who could ever truly describe what love is? Our good friend (who’s hosting this par-tay today) George Peele thought he could. Alas, in his drunken dribble he only achieved the truth that love is tangible, love is a thing. Other than this, he never seemed to answer his own question: What thing is love?…

Holy Ghost Fire!: The Role of Religion in the common African’s life
If you’re not Christian in Ghana, your Muslim. If you’re not Muslim, you’re a Traditionalist. If you’re not Traditionalist…well, there’s not much of an alternative? Religion in Ghana, as in Nigeria, is central to living, only slightly less important than air (that God gives to you.) Does it mean we follow all the rules stated…
