I strongly belive that the visity of president Obama to Ghana is in good light.
It potrays a man who is abreast with the happenings in Africa and in particular west africa.
The generally held belief should naturally have placed Nigeria as the first to host the worlds number one man when he gets to Africa. Unfortuately our democracy does not align with the type practiced in America. The ideologies ,idiosyncracies and peculiarities are not in tandem with American sytled democracy. Where freedom of speech and egalitarianiasm are not a part of everyday living.
The fact that this visit is to celebrate models democracy , makes it even more imperative that the staging ground should not be Nigeria.
