When Victory Becomes Illusion: How Politicians Misjudge Their Success(By-Prof Mamudu Abunga Akudugu)

Mr Mohammed

In the aftermath of Ghana’s 2016 general elections, I recall a conversation with a former schoolmate who was convinced that the New Patriotic Party’s overwhelming victory signaled the political death of the National Democratic Congress. According to him, the NDC would not return to power for at least a generation. I disagreed then, and time has since proven why.

The Theory:The Private War became the World War-(By Alice Frimpong Sarkodie)

Mr Mohammed

A Philosophical and Psychological Argument for Global Congruence Every war begins as a whisper in a home. Humanity’s collapse in dignity, integrity, and peace did not start on battlefields. It started in bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms — in the silent negotiations of love, in the unspoken hierarchies of marriage, and in the mis-education of children who learned the wrong lessons about power, fear, love, and self-worth. 1.
