The Republic of Fake Awards…

I nearly missed my opportunity. The realisation struck me sometime this week as I scrolled through social media and encountered yet another photograph of a distinguished Ghanaian standing beside a plaque large enough to serve as a dining table. The recipient was smiling. The organisers were smiling. The photographer was smiling. Even the plaque itself seemed to be smiling. That was when panic set in. Apparently, everybody in Ghana was receiving an award except me.
