There are lessons to be learnt from the insurgency of Boko Haram but I doubt the government, community and society has the resolve to tackle the issues resolutely.
Thought Picnic: AFRICOM another swamp for lethal mosquitoes
Tuesday, 28 July 2009 8:16 P GMT+01
AFRICOM has no combat mission in Africa but is deploying the Human Terrain System using a defence contractor to map out the core of what makes African tick.

Sunday, 26 July 2009 11:59 P GMT+01
A child should not be guilty of being sexually defiled by an adult.
We owe our children a duty of care to ensure that they are not abused and when they are being groomed, the situation must be arrested before it becomes serious.

Ghana: No antibodies for this virus - Obama's speech
Sunday, 12 July 2009 3:14 A GMT+01
What we should not lose sight of from President Obama's speech to the Ghanaian parliament is that it is the first time a Western leader has been able to speak the truth to African leaders and not have blow-back.
Against Obama they have no antibodies.
