On Thursday, 21 November, the president of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama visited the Bolgatanga Girls Senior Seconday School, where I am currently spending time.

This guy just made me laugh as he marched around the courtyard prior to the President's motorcade coming. I think he could single-handedly thwart any threat.

The President's visit had been planned for sometime, but I was not aware until the day before his arrival. Just like president Barack Obama, Mr. Mahama is a lightening rod for change and controversy in his country. From the 2012 Constitutional challenges to his election, to his recent proclamations to reduce his and other cabinet member salaries by 10% and use the accumulated proceeds to fund infrastructure projects in rural areas to his decisions calling for an end to corruption and government transparency, his term will be a busy one.
