Hi Brother Nuhu, I am always thinking about your concern. however, all what is behind the science of technology in the west and every other nation is that
there is systematic step by step explanation of every
technology. ...

I think a distinction must be made between religion and science. Religion is faith based and therefore has somehow little to do with science which can be proved. A flying witch and an airplane can not be the same. Nuhu, your ...

BROTHER NUHU, THE PRACTICE OF MAGIC AND WITCHCRAFT IS NOT AFRICAN. IT HAS BEEN PRACTISED BY EVERY PRIMITIVE SOCIETY IN THIS WORLD. WHEN THE SOCIETY ADVANCES IN SCIENCE IT BECOMES MORE INFORMED. IT UNDERSTANDS HOW THINGS WORK. ...

it is the likes of miseducated Nuhu that Africa remain what is it today. To me the way forward for the African or the black race to appreciate and understand science and technology better is to try to read into that area of s ...

Brother Nuhu, you express your views very well. Unfortunately, you have to write them in ENGLISH! In what Ghanaian language do you suggest to use next time? By the way, do you know some Ghanaians still use English only in the ...

FOCUS ON QUALITY EDUCATION. I MEAN QUALITY SCIENCE EDUCATION AND YOU WOULD FLY HIGH.
IS BECAUSE WE DON'T ASK THE "HOLY SPIRIT" TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR MIND,WE MIST TECHNOLOGY WITH "WITCH LOGY". JESUS TOLD US THE "HOLY SPIRIT" WILL COME AND TEACH YOU WHAT TO DO. WE LEAVE THE FORCE BEHIND DOES IS OUR PROBLEM.
. . . and the nonsense continues . . . an aeroplane is bits and pieces of metal, cut, filed. machined and put together. There is nothing magic behind it, else they will never fail and fall.
Every body berates Nuhu because the west has coached our brains not to accept exactly what he is saying. Name one single inventor or innovator who is well educated. There is a point there.

Tell me why the Queen of England is held high in their democracy and ours cannot contain our kings?
Because there is one King/Queen of England with written laid down specifics and there are 100s of chiefs who are always fighting.
EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY ARE THE KEYS TO PROGRESS BY THE AFRICAN. LANGUAGE IS ESSENTIAL BUT THAT IS NOT WHERE OUR PROBLEM LIES. WE NEED TO APPLY AND EMULATE WHAT TECHNOLOGY HAD BEEN DEVELOPED AND APPLY IT SUCCESSFULLY . WE MU ...

Science is not the domain of anyone person. It is published for all to see. Science is the collection of provable human knowledge. Africans included. There is nothing like Western technology
Do not get the writer wrong. Language is the soul of the human body. You are best in creativity if you do it in your mother tongue. The African becomes a pale shadow of himself if he tries to do things in a foreign language. ...

The statement "Just recently, the South African government placed a ban on witches not to fly above a certain altitude which certainly might be a directive from the west." is incorrect. The Swaziland government is reported to ...

Nuhu, your ideas cannot be appreciated by the ordinary Ghanaians. Perhaps, you are living ahead of your time.Good piece.
The confusion in our minds can also be attributed to how our leaders got stuck to western ways at any point in time. It is imperative to consider some of the indigenous ways of doing things to improve upon them for our own go ...

The writers views are true but need a little bit of straightening. Language is the key to everything.We must first of all review our thoughts and reshape them in the language we bet understand that will bring out all the myst ...

Good one there.God richly bless you.You have said it all.We are where we re because we cherish westersn cultures at the expense of ours.
The author has not done much research into this topic, hence his inability to explore the subject matter very well.The ideas raised are really touching and disturbing Africans.
This is complete nonsense. What do this writer intend to communicate? The arguments made in the article are wholly flawed on conception. Those eastern European countries you are talking about now have their own language as me ...
