The veteran rapper shared footage from one of his sessions on Instagram, filmed from the back of the room during what appeared to be a lecture on Development Communication for second-year students.

The fixed-angle clip captured students seated at desks, notebooks open, with a projector screen at the front displaying a slide titled "Something to Think About" alongside a quote attributed to the French philosopher René Descartes.

Okyeame Kwame's lecture on doubt, independent thinking

In the clip, Okyeame Kwame walked his students through a concept he called the "thinker-to-thinker approach", describing it as a form of internal dialogue between belief and doubt that he linked to individual creativity.

He told the class that engaging with that tension is what unlocks ingenuity.

"If you believe everything that they tell you, then when do you think?" he asked the room before invoking Descartes directly. "Doubt is the origin of wisdom. Because if you believe alone and you don't doubt, then you are repeating what someone else is telling you."

He rounded off the moment with a laugh, joking, "So once in a while, don't let me spoil your mind, but once in a while, doubt something."

The session carried a relaxed but intellectually engaged atmosphere, with students visibly attentive throughout.

In the caption of his post, an excited Okyeame Kwame shared his experience with his students at the UniMAC school and expressed gratitude to the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) for the opportunity in the prestigious tertiary institution.
