“Being a Ghanaian must stand for something!” (HE Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, the just sworn-in President of the Republic of Ghana).
Well said. The greatest and most promising speech ever made in contemporary years – a mark of leadership of transformation. Well said Mr President! We need some national psyching and identity into responsible and patriotic people. My hope has been heightened. Even that will be enough if you accomplish it – may the Lord grace you. We critically and urgently need human identification and transformation as a people. Only true leaders can cause that to happen.

US will 'not repeat' claims GCHQ wiretapped Donald Trump
It's a bad day for the transatlantic intelligence community when Britain's largest and best funded spy agency - GCHQ - has to come out and publicly contradict a claim made by its closest ally.
GCHQ, MI6 and MI5 rarely, if ever, comment on ongoing intelligence stories in the news.
But the allegation made by Mr Spicer was seen as so potentially damaging - as well as being untrue - that it was decided to make an exception.
The BBC understands that a discussion was held earlier this week in No 10 on whether and how to respond.
When Mr Spicer repeated his claim of GCHQ collusion on Thursday the strongly-worded denial was written and published.
Career intelligence officers on both sides of the Atlantic will now be at pains to protect their historically-close relationship from any further perceived gaffes coming out of the White House.
Former MI5 intelligence officer Ben Owen said he would be "shocked" if the claims turned out to be true.
"It's not something GCHQ would do", he told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. "They have to stick to the letter of the law."
He said that leaks by Edward Snowden, a former contractor for the CIA, had eroded public trust in intelligence agencies.
"These stories have more credence with the public," he said.
But ex-Ministry of Defence intelligence office Crispin Black said that "we just don't know" if the US authorities are correct about British involvement.
"Sometimes intelligence agencies - it may well not be the case this time - do operate outside the law and outside the bounds of common sense," he said.
GCHQ is one of three UK intelligence and security agencies, along with MI5 and MI6. It delivers signals intelligence - the intercepting of communication between people or electronic devices - to the prime minister and foreign secretary.
The agency credits its "particularly strong" relationship with its US equivalent, the National Security Agency, to the collaboration it began at Bletchley Park during World War Two.
Mr Trump's earlier claim that his phones were tapped were earlier dismissed by Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr.
A Senate committee on Thursday concluded that there were "no indications" Trump Tower was under surveillance by the US government before or after the election.
Mr Trump had accused his predecessor Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the presidential race.
Mr Spicer said Mr Trump stuck by his allegations.

Prince William and Kate Middleton in Paris: Why the Royal Is Finally Ready to Face His Ultimate Heartbreak, the Death of Princess Diana
When Prince William and Kate Middleton step foot in Paris on Friday, it will be the first time the future king has made an official visit to the city since his mother died 20 years ago.
The royal trip will take place over two days, during which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will aim to strengthen relations between France and a post-Brexit Britain. But its significance extends way beyond diplomacy. By revisiting the place where Princess Diana was killed in a catastrophic car accident, William has finally decided to face the most painful memory from his childhood.
At present the schedule for William and Kate's Paris trip does not include a visit to The Flame of Liberty, a place which has become an unofficial mecca for thousands of Diana fans due to its location at the entrance of the Pont de l'Alma tunnel, where the fatal crash occurred. But for the royal couple, even being in the City of Light is sure to bring to the surface painful memories of the tragic circumstances surrounding Diana's death.
The details of that night in August 1997 remain as hard to fathom today as they did during that hot Parisian summer. The People's Princess had spent the previous week on vacation in Sardinia with her new boyfriend, Dodi Fayed. She had only been dating him for a month, and he was somewhat of a rebound fling for the 36 year old divorcée. After separating from Prince Charles in 1992, her only serious relationship had been with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, a man friends later described as the love of her life.
