In My Opinion with Dr. Ananse

They said it's “for the culture”… but is it really? Or is it just cultural trauma with extra mosquito bites and lights-off bonuses? In this spicy episode, we're diving headfirst into the long-distance parental tradition of shipping kids off to Ghana for a “character-building” vacation (aka forced sabbatical). Is it discipline in disguise? A rite of passage? Or just plain wickedness?

Just when you thought the ashes had settled, another anthem goes up in flames. In Part 2 of Choirs on Fire, we dig even deeper—because somehow, the more talent we claim, the more songs mysteriously catch spiritual fire. Is it sabotage? A rehearsal allergy? Or maybe the Holy Spirit just stepped out for soundcheck. Whatever it is, Ghana's SDA choirs are back—and yes, the microphone survived… barely.

Ah yes, the SDA Church—where angels rehearse… until Sabbath hits and the song gets sacrificed at the altar of confusion. How did we go from musical excellence to “Ei, they've burnt it again!”?
