of Social Democracy" or the "Understanding the Politics of Jesus" have  been best sellers in regional areas of West Africa and in some parts of the world. 

 

Dad was simply awesome. He was a self-made entrepreneur, educator and innovator. He inspired many by this thoughts, actions and deeds.  He was a firm believer in working hard with a central focus of spirituality, discipline, integrity.
