It was the second Monday in January 2020, and I was told by my Principal, it is a holiday, so Afiba-sensei (meaning Teacher Afiba in Japanese) please stay home. I gladly agree because my children and I can legally extend our weekend by 1 day. Interestingly, that is the reason Japan in the year 2000 […]

Dear our modern day Squealer -Kevin Taylor, So I listened to you in one of your sordid video attempting to explain away you mercenary antics and also reject the fact that you’re on a $20,000 monthly payroll from the John Mahama court. Indeed it was a jaw dropping experience and I still can’t believe that […]
