About Me
- ThePanAfricanist
- On March 06, 1957, I was fifteen years old, hanging around the crowd assembled at the Old Polo Ground in Accra, Ghana (then the Gold Coast) waiting for Kwame Nkrumah to declare political independence from British colonial rule. When Kwame Nkrumah declared that the independence of Ghana was meaningless unless it was linked with the total liberation of the African continent, we were all caught up in the mood. Since then, I have lived and studied in Germany and France; became a successful businessman in Liberia until the civil war started in 1990 and now passing the rest of my days in New York. I have always left politics to the politicians as do most educated Africans I know and we are paying the price for it. The continent has been totally mismanaged for the last forty five years and the people have lost hope. Since the MEDIA (especially the western controlled media) exagerate the bad news and distort the good news from the African continent in particular and the third world in general, I now consider it a personal obligation, in my twilight years, to express my point of view politically and damn the torpedoes.
