THE RASHID AMINU KANO STORY

  A LETTER TO MY LATE FATHER ON HIS 81st BIRTHDAY Hello ma Guy, Alhadji Today, March 24th, 2024, marks your 81st birthday, and it's hard to believe it's been exactly 3 years, 10 months, and 16 days since you left us. As I sit down to write this letter to you, I'm filled with emotions, and my heart aches with longing. I miss you, Ma guy I miss your guidance, your wisdom, and your loving presence. I miss our conversations, our laughter, and our quiet moments together. I even miss your broken English, which always brought a smile to my face.

The case study format, in particular, requires students to analyze complex scenarios and provide well-reasoned solutions, a skill that takes time to develop.

  When we were growing up, we were told about one great king of ancient EWEs, King Agorkorli. We were told he was a wicked King. I had that perception like any other until l listened to one living great chief on radio in Ho giving a more neutral account. Apparently, the king Agor Akorli hitherto was a calm King until something happened ( we were never told of that aspect) In today's Ghana , I think one man is suffering similar fate. My grandfather and many other grandmothers told me of how Rawlings was a "saviour" in those days. If you were less than 10 years in around 1979 to 1983, you would not have had a first hand fact about situations then. You would probably have been relying on what they wrote down . Are those writing the history neutral? I saw the trailer of a joy news documentary last , entitled, "who killed the judges" By my imagination, what that documentary would seek to do, will be what Prez. Kuffour's National Reconciliation Commission seek to ...
