He is a master of wit.But somewhere along our journey, we absorbed the wrong lessons from our eight-legged hero. Today, our society is plagued by the “Kweku Ananse Syndrome.” This is a cultural mindset where greed, deceit, taking shortcuts, and trying to “smartly” beat the system are praised over hard work, honesty, and structures.Instead of using wit to solve collective national problems, the Ananse Syndrome drives individuals to outsmart…
