I was surprised to learn that in past Ghana kings were selected by the matriarch and could be removed by the people and the newly selected king is appointed based on merit. That certainly is an improvement over modern so-called democracies (e.g., USA). Thank you for the education, Femi.

My thanks and appreciation for reading my articles!

Unfortunately, colonialism didn't just put chains on our bodies; it shackles our minds in Africa.

I don't write anything that is not in the public domain, but unfortunately most of our intellectuals in Africa have been possessed by deep colonial mentality. Sadly for Africa, they are in charge of both our media and academia😭

I read your article the same day I watched a very informative video on the BettBeat Media channel (YouTube). The video is titled The Country Getting Away with Apartheid,Colonialism & Imperialism. The conversation focuses on the colonized minds. If SUbstack will allow me, here is the link:
