Tweet Code Sigma
The tweet in the passionate heat of Ghana’s presidential election was so ordinary it could best be described as nondescript. But Major General Yakubu Saani discovered it was the callsign between the Election Management Board and high-level Military Commanders to roll out a plot to steal the election. These were his choices: Loyalty to a Commander-in-Chief willing to remain President over the ashes, and loyalty to the Constitution that enabled his kleptocracy.

EXECUTIVE HALLUCINATION
West Africa had gone mad again. Coups and counter-coups prevailed from North to South. Civil wars ran like wild fire from East to West. Everywhere was a bloody abattoir. In Liberia, the foolishness was perhaps, even more so. In the thick of that madness, a young medical student, seemingly not smart enough to comprehend the extent of the danger, arrives from Ghana. His one motive is the rescue of his twin – and anyone else smart enough to come along.

Vawulence
Historians say a total of five wars were fought between the Asante tribe and the British colonialists. Survivors of the last war insist only four wars were fought. The fifth was no war at all, for wars have rules, formats, plans and truces. When none of these exist, only one thing remains: Vawulence. Which is usually the case when an Asante princess declares war.
