"I pray that we as Ghanaians can see through the forest and also see the snakes in the grass. Not everything that appears good is truly in our best interest. We must protect what remains of our sovereignty, our traditions, and our identity. Not every kind heart or philanthropic gesture comes with the intention of preserving who we are. A donation, a school block, or a borehole should never be the price of our land, our heritage, or our future. Let us not be so quick to trade what is sacred for what is temporary. Whether one is Black American, Ghanaian-American, White American, or from anywhere else, our responsibility remains the same: to safeguard Ghana. Take note, Ghana. The decisions we make today will shape the future of our kings, our children, and generations to come....As of now, Ghana...this is your future king.....Some say it deserved.....Cook him some Fufu, say thank you to all the kind gestures and send him on his way."
