Nothing is seen as huge a threat as the gay lifestyle in most African countries. Homophobia is widespread and is nothing to be ashamed of—or so it seems. From the top leadership to the masses in the streets, support for gay rights is practically non-existent. During a recent visit to Ghana, as par...

AFRICAN LEADERS:WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT THE LGBTQ PROBLEM?
One head of state has described it as social imperialism being imposed on Africa and Africans by Europe and America. A video on social media features President Musevini of Uganda in which he defends his country's passage of legislation that makes the gay lifestyle a criminal offense.
Atta Mills, a former president of Ghana, who died in office, is now being cited as a great leader for the way he reacted when the human rights of gay people became part of the discussion in the negotiations for an aid package. He stated that he was unapologetically opposed to the gay lifestyle in Ghana, and was ready to refuse to accept any aid from America or Europe, if it was offered on the condition that the leadership of the country agrees to be more tolerant of lgbt people. The attitude of the current president has been described as non committal. And he has been made aware that the majority of the people of Ghana want the world to know that they don't particularly care for the gay lifestyle. Most Ghanaians appear to be inclined to subscribe to the notion of zero tolerance of the gaylifestyle and don't understand why the president can't or won't make a statement to that effect.

I have been checking out my Facebook friend, Kofi Adzra's posts on Facebook in part because he appears to have more than a casual interest in cooking and gastronomy. He has posted videos and other content that break down and provide insights and guidelines on what's best in nutritious foods, and most importantly, how to cook food in ways that make them taste and look fingerlicking good. Its not unusual, but not quite common either, for an African man to step out, show serious interest and take on a role as a food advocate. Not long ago those roles were the exclusive domain of women. Men who ventured into those areas ran the risk of being seen as less than men, or lacking machismo…not macho enough.. Hopefully, his interest in cooking reflects a trend in a fast changing world in which men take more interest in learning and improving our culinary skills, so we can eat better and more nutritious foods we cook ourselves. About time we focus on doing things that help us to live healthy.lives. …life for men doesn't have to be all about being macho..

Initial reaction to references to the racial lineage of Rishi Sunak might be:who cares if he is of Indian extraction? Does race really matter in an age in which success, especially in the rough and tumble world of politics is seen to reflect merits that have less or nothing to do with one's race and gender, but more with an individual's intellect, education, experience and expertise? If Barack Obama did it in America, so can Sunak in Europe. Many examples can be cited to support the notion that democracy works in America when it comes to electing people to office, that race and gender are irrelevant. The Barack Obama story is, by far, the most significant for people of color in the United States, a country celebrated for its claim to being a democratic country. He burst on the scene with a force that swept everything aside, culminating in his election as the president of the most powerful nation on the globe. To most, Obama represented the fulfilment of the dreams and hopes of people who have long sought a leader of such calibre. We all know only too well the mixed reviews the Obama presidency gets in terms of the impact it had on black people in America.
Will Sunak be different? Will his elevation to such a powerful position benefit, directly or indirectly, his race? Will he make his people proud, not just by being a high profile leader, but by what he is able to do that will have a significant impact on his people in ways, others wouldn't?
He'll have to navigate a political landscape with mean politicians whose pride in their own race compels them to take down the foreigner in their midst at all costs. Never mind the fact that he got the job mainly because he was considered to be the best, and deserved it on the basis of what he has already accomplished.
One or two lessons learned from the Barack Obama episode might be for his people to have realistic expectations, taking into consideration the fact that his priorities will be determined by factors that have everything to do with the UK, not with India and Indians.
