My Memorable Journalistic Year in Retrospect : 2019

Happy New Year ardent reader,

It has been 3 years of sports writing. I started via this blogspot some years back as a hobby and a therapy against the monotony of the corporate world. It garnered great interest, lovely reviews & and I graduated to writing for other sites (both international & local).

The old phrase 'Third time's a Charm' is highly evident in my 3rd year of writing. Since it was a milestone year with notable achievements & unforgettable exposure;

In January, 2 of My articles placed 5th and 8th in AIPS,s Top 10 African submissions for 2018

The Black Star Love-Hate-Love Thing !!!

Continental football is back again, albeit this time in a different season (June-July instead of January-February) and a different format (16 to 24 teams). If the razzmatazz of the draw - held at the picturesque Sphinx and the Pyramids in Giza -   was the hors d'oeuvre, the actual competition which is in full swing is showing glimpses of delivering on its promise as the main course. From the ancient aura of Alexandria through the principal streets of Bangui to the shipping yards of Port Elizabeth, the allure for football on Pharaoh’s grass is certainly at an all-time high. In Ghana, issues pertaining to religion, politics and football garner a lot of interest. If the assertions made by sportswriter Fiifi Anaman’s AIPS award-winning article in 2015 * (“Where is the love: How the Black Stars stabbed the nation in cold blood”) still holds, then interest in activities of the Black Stars by its citizenry has waned tremendously since the disgraceful events at the 2014

Arsène Wenger & the Vicissitudes of Leadership

A retrospective look at the lives of most great leaders depicts career-defining periods synonymous with their epoch. There is an often-cited biblical story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his Jewish brothers, leading to his incarceration. A sudden turn of events propels him to the zenith of leadership as Prime Minister in a foreign land. In his leadership role, Joseph's defining moments as 2nd in Command of Egypt will always be characterized by his achievements during a period spanning 14 years: seven years of abundance and seven years of famine. The former represented foraging of food in enormous amounts to store in nearby cities, while the latter brought about scarcity of food, placing constraints on its citizens. In the world of football management, the hashtag #WengerOut has finally become a reality. It marks the end of an era, although some supporters may still be coming to terms with it. As rival club fans contemplate whom to troll in Arsène Wenger's absence,
