At the same time, Kwadwo, I’m going to remember this village as a very very happy place. Entirely safe, familiar, people are respectful, nobody’s starving, nobody’s getting rich but the farmers are hard at work and they’re thinking in a modern, intelligent way about how to do it better. There are a lot of worst places to live on this Earth than in Kwabeng.

If more journalists were to realize this, we might finally be able to end colonialism and reach something truly democratic, on this Earth.

The best place is the one we truly respect.

Can't wait to savour this recording. Opoku-Agyemang sounds like a fascinating interlocutor.
