I have not done this on Ready to Chew before, but I think I should start thanking those who visit this space. What I usually have done is to begin the year with readers or spies--whatever they are--by stating my hope for the year, for Ghana, Africa and every personal life. I thought that was better.
In some ways, I think when I begin to thank readers for visiting here, whether by accident, reference or ritual, I then communicate insidiously the message that I require their presence. I rather like to think that people would read a page in various degrees once they found it appealing or abhorrent. Therefore, all I have to do is write and if anyone read it, fine.
So, I am putting up this post-although controversially withing my self--to mark the end of the year twenty eleven, a particularly difficult year for me as an individual in search of meaning and happiness on this wonderful planet. i have had some wonderful moments travelling around the country training teachers and students alike for the National Spelling Bee; I have met some wonderful people; Blogging Ghana has been bumpy and oracularly spectacular as well. I hope you have relished and detested the contents of this page. For those who have loved the writing on here or me, you are welcome again in twenty twelve. For those who found the posts or me execrable, I am proud of you. Such is the complexity of the 'human.'
To unearth the truth and be inconsiderate in your approach to matters of serious concern in this world, to me, could be your tragic step--a deadly one to take. And most who have pursued it, you must know, have always not succeeded.

Quote from me
If and when we should consider our actions, we must add a smell of dignity, a touch of excellence, a feel of us, and a taste of our bitterness in orchestrating such actions
Africans, check this.
"I would be quite satisfied if my novels (especially the ones i set in the past) did no more than teach my readers that their past - with all its imperfections - was not one long night of savagery from which the first Europeans acting on God's behalf saved them from." ( Morning Yet on Creation Day, 1975). Chinua Achebe.
