Controversy brewing in Africa over Obama’s Ghana visit
Per AfricaNews: US President Barack Obama’s decision to visit Ghana over other African countries is causing political brouhaha on the continent. Citizens of populous Black African country – Nigeria – are not enthused about the news and are blaming their government of poor governance that has put Obama away. Renowned Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has waded in what has now become known as ‘war of words’. He said Obama’s choice of Ghana is a wise decision: “If Obama decides to grace Nigeria with his presence, I will stone him. The message he is sending by going to Ghana is so obvious, is so brilliant that he must not render it flawed by coming to Nigeria any time soon”. Twitters share their views about the latest comment from the writer whose books have made name on the continent:
