I used the last paints in my box to make this. Now I can only draw in black and white 🤣
This is my Christmas painting for 2021. It highlights the overreliance of Ghanaian politicians and their policies on gifts and handouts from China which has given way for very interesting episodes of Chinese activity in Ghana. I highlight many of these other activities in several of my other paintings. Because of this and other issues, my work has been censored severally by art platforms that have 'entanglements' with the government. Also I'm not a supporter of any of these political parties as none of them have demonstrated the will to see the fortunes of the country turn for the better with their policies and government style.
What do you know about the stories that inspired this painting?

✍️ 4yrs ago , Andre Young aka Dr. Dre became the wealthiest person in the history of the rap game, after selling his Beats by Dre headphone company to Apple.

The end result netted enough money for Dr. Dre to legitimately say he’s made a billion dollars in sales.

Can you imagine what it’s like to come from the gutters of inner-city America to the top of the ivory tower?

Dr. Dre’s story is amazing.

He’s one of the most inspiring people on the planet.

To overcome the hardships and adversities he’s had to take a certain type of mindset.

Dre brought innovation to the front lines of hip hop.

Matter of fact, he pioneered the West Coast gangster rap movement.

YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH HIS LYRICS, BUT YOU CAN’T KNOCK HIS HUSTLE.

If you look at Dre’s life, there are a lot of lessons in resilience to be learned.

He’s been burned by record executives, best friends, and the list goes on.

Each one of these instances has led to more experience, which in turn led Andre Young to be able to execute a financial transaction like the one between Beats and Apple.

Let’s take a close look at some of these lessons and how you can apply them to your everyday life in business.

Set A Goal And Stick To It:

When Dre was young, he set a goal to bring the problems of inner-city kids to the forefront of mainstream media.

Which was not going to be easy, considering his songs included lyrics like “F*ck the Police.”

The mainstream music industry told him it would never work out.

Yet, he had a goal that existed with or without them.

Twenty years later, you can find him sticking to the same plan.

You Never Have To Stop Being You No Matter How Many People Try To Change You:

Can you imagine how many record executives must have said to Dre, “Hey man if you’ll tone it down with all the cussing, we can make you so much more money with airplay”?

But, despite the offer of making more money, he didn’t sell out.

He made them cave and come to him. This attests to Dre’s marketing ability, too.

– SOJA Lyrics

Verse 1
My mystery box is somewhere very near
I feel it inside me, I’m feeling very weird
Something wey I dey chase
For years back in the days
If you told me I would see this flag waving I won’t believe you, no
Cause how far could I go? (How far could I go?)
Heya!
I’m too close I can feel it
Something is vibrating
Inside me I’m celebrating
But outside them dey kill me
My own-self dey kill me (My own body, my own body)

Pre-Chorus
My own anxiety
My inferiority what what what
Ah! dem all dey kill me (Dem all dey kill me)
And I don’t feel okay
My heart is beating so fast
So fast
So fast

Chorus
Oh Soja Soja Soja Soja
Stand and beat your chest
Them dey come
Them dey come
Them dey come
No make them catch you off-guard
Don’t let them touch your skin o
Oh Soja Soja Soja Soja
Stand and beat your chest
Them dey come
Them dey come
Them dey come
No make them catch you off-guard
Don’t let them touch your skin o

Verse 2
Cause you know how e be my shella
Streets getting colder
They bury my brother spirit he no fit stand proper he dey shake o
He no fit stand proper he dey shake o
It’s hard to believe my genna
You for see with your naked eyes I swear my papa
This season is a very dark one (A very dark season)
This season is a very dark one o (A very dark season)

Pre-Chorus
My own anxiety
My inferiority what what dey kill me
Dem all dey kill me
Dem all dey kill me
And I don’t feel okay
My heart is beating so fast
So fast
So fast

Chorus
Oh Soja Soja Soja Soja
Stand and beat your chest
Them dey come

No make them catch you off-guard

Oh Soja Soja Soja Soja

The Entrance Exam For An Art School In China 🇨🇳

The day the British returned all the looted gold artefacts they hold in their museum vaults and exhibition halls Nana was happy. Wearing his Kente kufi hat he gave the double thumbs up as a sign of approval while seated in the only chair his duna is allowed to occupy. His random woke tweets about reparations yielded results afterall. This is a true story just like the ones Bawumia tells.

Laughing straight to the databank 🤣
The minister of Ghana's finances, cousin to the president under whose poor leadership the national currency is rivaling for the position of 'worst performing' in the world among numerous other failings. This man's bank which he co founded is also official appointed advisory for loans that the country continues to borrow from anyone who has a dollar to give meaning the more money we borrow the more this private entity gains in commissions. Talk about conflict of interest.
Years ago during campaign season these men were touted to be the most intelligent folk in the country who'd save us from the failings of the previous government and they asked 'sika no wor he', now we know where all the money is...
