Will watch this at work tomorrow. Out of curiosity, is Dr Kwame Gyekye still presenting? If so do you guys plan on getting him to present at your weekly speaker series?
He gave a presentation last year or so ago. He's not on the schedule for this semester but I'm being threatened with coordinating the weekly seminars for the full academic year as punishment for doing such a good job with it. If that happens it would be great if we could get him on for next semester.
Bro Kwame, thanks for the info about Dr. Gyekye.
Dr. Opoku's presentation was so interesting that I had to stop working completely to finish his presentation.
A few proverbs that caught my attention,
"When the eureurasiaan brought the pencil he also brought an eraser"
"It is the person who has carried water and palm oil who knows which of the two are heavier"
"If you're seeking revenge make provision for two coffins"
"If I don't want to think I speak English to people"
The presentation was both inspirational and humbling.
I'm glad you found it useful. Please spread the word and bring more Kmtyws to Abibitumi Kasa!
