It's a process, not an event!
Thanks @nevinomics. We are very proud of this year's cohort of Finalists for the Rhodes Scholarship for West Africa. We select two amazing scholars to go to Oxford University on 5th December. Watch this space....
The normative view you hold about who ought to or ought not to form the next government will be determined in the positivist reality of things in just a few hours. Your vote can sway that reality--go cast it! @BBSimons @TheAgyemangDuah @iselorm @HKwasiP @GhLawTrends
Why is today not a PUBLIC HOLIDAY when we know that local government elections have had a historic low voter turnout? Did this escape the major civil society actors? @CodeoElections @CDDGha @norsaac @ImaniAfr @BBSimons @KojoPumpuni @ECGhanaOfficial @ghanaelections

Join us for the Launch and opening ceremony of the #GLobalmilweek2023 at 10:00am.
After four years in Accra, this year's launch is happening in Kumasi, at the SSNIT Conference Hall, Adum.

Martin Kpebu speaks at @AJI_Ghana's Faith in Public Sphere Series: Calls on the Catholic Bishops' Conference to LEAD demonstrations against injustices and fight for good governance as was done during the PNDC era. Kpebu the Militant! @EyrahFoliSJ @GbehoBampoh @IYNIGO1
Congratulations @psadomako. This is worth celebrating @GoodEvening_Gh @AdomOtchere @BBSimons @nevinomics @SanguDelle @ike_chioke @emman_dankwa
"To me, receiving the #RhodesScholarship means one thing; an opportunity to learn more & engender the necessary transformation in the provision of legal services across the African community." Congratulations to Samuel Adomako, #RhodesScholar Elect from Ghana! 👏
ALT Samuel Adomako is standing in front of a large green leafy plant and is holding up a poster that reads "guess who's joining the #RhodesClassof2023"
Elated to watch Fr. Joseph Blay OFM on @JoyNewsOnTV talk about illegal mining. As an admirer of @AJI_Ghana I look forward this year to seeing them advance engagements that connect Catholic social teaching to Ghana's governance, policy & dev't architecture. @kaddyaksj @EyrahFoliSJ
In other words, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten" - Dr. Yaw Perbi on the JOY Change-Speakers III. @Mike_amanpene @BBSimons @JoyNewsOnTV @GbenaElvis @mondrayac
"We will always be running but never catch up. I get amused when we talk about breaking the yoke of colonialism and still use the blacksmith called the IMF or World Bank to sharpen our tools" -- Pastor Mensah Otabil cited by Dr. @yawperbi in "Officially Broke & Certifiably Mad"

Can @thebankofghana take credit for the appreciation of the cedi? It says it's restriction of FX support to some essential commodities + tightened monetary policy are accounting for the upsurge of the Cedi. Only time will tell, not so? @BBSimons myjoyonline.com/bog-give-rea…

What is RESEARCH without PHILOSOPHY? Today's session with @eddyhiba was well loaded with explanations on the building blocks of research: ontology, epistemology, methods, and data sources. There's still a lot to digest @Dataking_Global YouTube channel @ youtube.com/watch?v=36zrIyTP…
Novice researchers, "The LACK of something is NOT a problem; it's what's happening BECAUSE of the lack that is the problem." This is a profound quote about research problem by Dr. Esien (@eddyhiba). Join us this Wednesday for his mentorship session by @Dataking_Global @authoraid
When analysts like @BBSimons pointed out internal issues such as fiscal recklessness and high indebtedness for Ghana's woes, Gov't communication blamed the externals. With the ¢ getting better against the $, which of those exogenous factors did Gov't have to control?
Is it not the commitment to addressing the internal factors that is boosting market confidence and the ¢'s recent performance? Or as some Ghanaians are sarcastically asking:"Is the Russia-Ukraine War over?"🤭Good diagnosis + local ownership might have saved us long ago! @BBSimons
“These days, the national anthem feels like a way to force patriotism onto us, so our reaction has been to boo.” This piece is not just about Pan-Africanism & Pan-Arabism but about how Moroccans use sporting events to engage in activism. @barkervogues
