NANA CONGRATES; HE TAKES A WOMAN

Nana Agyeman's "It Takes a Woman" was successfully launched on Monday. Although it was planned in advance, I unfortunately missed it because of an unexpected delayed return to Ghana after a scheduled medical appointment.

I am pleased that Nana took the audacity to tell her story and it was really impressive to see personalities from all parties, businessmen, traditional authorities, diplomats, friends and supporters presenting their numbers to support which was undoubtedly a historic moment. .

Let's take advantage of the truth by taking it beyond simple academic exercises. If we can not enrich our lives with this, then let us know and recognize in silence those who have engaged in so many political, social, economic and judicial wrongdoings and who continue to benefit from them.

So many lies have been peddled and fed to some of us for so long. I can only hope and pray for us to be bold enough or able to muster our courage to face hard truths now.

I hope her first book contains enough essential elements, even though we are waiting for mine and the other two that she intends to write.

Let's use this opportunity and the gift to ourselves from what she has compiled into a book. I have absolute confidence in her integrity and I know that she has a better memory and a better memory of the events we have all known over the years.

Be bold and educate yourself with a copy of the truth.

Congratulations, dear Nana. – JJR
