"Peppy, I could not stop laughing while watching the pepisode with the actors from UK.

We need more programming like this, so please do not stop!" Debra Bruce, FL

WHY WE MUST CELEBRATE
KWAME NKRUMAH
by Kwame Osei
September 21 is a poignant day in Ghana and the Afrikan continent as a whole as it marks the birthday of the greatest Afrikan of the 20th century (BBC Afrika listeners' poll), Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
For this exclusive feature, as an Afrikan historian we will analyze and examine what Dr. Nkrumah did do for Ghana.
There has been an attempt, a pathetic attempt in my view, from some sections of Ghanaian society who for their own perverse reasons want to downplay the colossal achievements of the great man.
In addition to this, some in Ghana ask, "what did Nkrumah do for Ghana?" Again because of the attempt by some Ghanaians to erase the achievements of Dr. Nkrumah from the annals of Ghanaian history; the vast majority of Ghanaian people, especially the youth, have no idea of the colossal achievements of Dr. Nkrumah and what he did for Ghana and Africa. Also respected Afrikan historian Ali Mazrui once said that "Nkrumah was a great Afrikan but not a good Ghanaian."
When one looks back, Dr. Nkrumah was an excellent leader, despite the shortcomings that every leader has. If Ghanaians were to take a critical look at all of the state institutions that Ghana now has, they will see the handwriting of Dr. Nkrumah on those institutions.
In actual fact the majority of the infrastructure the country is enjoying was built by the administration of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Part of Osagyefo's grand vision for Ghana was to take it into the industrial age and make the country self-reliant and self-sufficient in all areas of nation building and development and take the country from an enslaved colonial economy to an economically liberated one.
STAY TUNED FOR THE REST OF THE ARTICLE IN NEXT WEEK'S EDITION.

"A SO WI DO IT"
Joelle Cohen Wright
A Soh Wi Do It! (ASWDI) is a hilarious collection of character- driven sketches that represent the Jamaican culture. The characters in the book are Jamaicans and the various stories depicted are set in Jamaica. The book is written by Joelle Cohen Wright and is comprised of four themes (series):
Mix Up and Blenda which features three different stories.
The GPS Navigation Series: Imagine a "Jamaicanized" version of a GPS navigation system where directions provided identify people by name, hardly include street names, and underestimate time and distance. This "Yaad GPS" is rude, lacks common courtesy and give its drivers pure hell! Put yourself in the driver's seat and take a ride with the GPS. But if you cross the GPS, there is no telling how the ride will end.
The Dread's Response Series: The Dread goes through a series of interviews but his interpretations of the questions reflects his belief system and mind set that he is being oppressed by the "system." His responses serve as a protest against oppression and authority and as a result, he is rejected in each interview. This does not make 'The Dread' a happy camper.
Yaad Fowl and Farrin Fowl Series: The Yaad Fowl and Farrin Fowl series explores the contrast in the cultural differences of how chickens are raised in Jamaica versus being raised abroad. Witness Yaad fowl display her feisty Jamaican mannerisms and colloquial expressions, while she exerts her superior and contentious attitude towards the hoity-toity and dainty Farrin Fowl.
