Juskosave: A two‑generation journalism legacy from Ghana to the world

 

 

 

Portrait symbolizing a writer continuing his father’s journalism legacy under the name Juskosave.

Juskosave is more than a name; it is a legacy carried across two generations of journalists. The story begins with Justin Kodwo Savage, a Ghanaian journalist whose work shaped public discourse long before the computer age. 

 

He crafted the name Juskosave from his own initials, Justin Kodwo Savage, and used it as his professional signature on books, manuscripts, and personal documents. For him, Juskosave was not just a label; it was an identity that represented discipline, intellect, and dedication to truth.

Mastodon, the decentralized social media platform once praised for its openness and community‑driven values, has quietly announced a major update to its terms of service. 

 

The new rules, scheduled to take effect on August 31, 2026, come after months of unexplained account suspensions, user frustration, and growing concerns about transparency. For many, this update is not a routine administrative change, it is a response to a deeper problem that Mastodon has tried to ignore for too long.

At sixty‑nine, I stand not only as a man celebrating another year of life but also as someone who has spent a quarter of a century in Europe reshaping the way difficult stories are told. My journey from Africa to Belgium opened doors I never expected.

 

Joel Savage: Exploring the Life, Journey, and Legacy of a Global Journalist

 

Joel Savage is an Antwerp‑based writer and journalist covering social issues, human trafficking, drug abuse, and global commentary.

His work blends journalism, creative writing, and social commentary, often focusing on difficult or underreported issues. This article represents his biography.

You know where I live: Come and arrest me if my articles are false

 

Joel Savage faces challenges as an African writer residing in Europe

I grant the right to be arrested by any government or organization that believes my articles are untrue or propagate false information. You know where I reside, so it is quite simple to arrest me. 

 

We live in a society where colonial masters don’t feel sorry for the crimes they have committed either in Africa or against humanity in Africa. One is so proud that he has built a statue and named streets after one of the perpetrators.

 

They are happy and never feel sorry or worried about their actions; however, they would rather find it disturbing and threatening when someone questions them about their actions.

 

People fail to understand that you can take a horse to the riverside to quench its thirst, but the animal will refuse to drink water if not thirsty. Living in Europe as an African writer doesn’t mean I will join European writers or journalists to engage in misleading news.

 

Africa, as a continent, has suffered enough politically, physically, and medically, but the truth has never been told. I can’t save the world or change the minds of institutions, governments, and the rich people ruining the continent after stealing from Africa.

 

However, I have a role to play to make things straight that we have been deceived and greedy, and the love for money is both destroying the world and humanity, and I don’t want to be part of it.

 

I have a family I think of and always pray for them to be responsible people in society. That’s my prayer for everyone, too. However, if you don’t want to change and continue to live your wicked ways, I will not force you to live a better life, but please, don’t force me to be like you.

 

I am an African writer who has been living in Belgium for the past twenty-five years and has never been convicted of any crime. However, I have suffered every injustice and abuse of authority more than a professional criminal because of the truthful nature of my articles.

 

I am officially declaring to the authorities that if they believe my articles are false or misleading, they have the right to arrest me since they know where I live.

 

I can’t force any search engine to promote my articles since they hate the truth, but I will not be silent when they sabotage every effort I make to let readers get access to my articles.

My Experience as an Independent Publisher and the Quest for Fair Treatment Online

 

Writer Joel Savage

Respect is a very important component of both personal identity and interpersonal relationships. Respect brings peace and mutual understanding between two people or more people, unfortunately, there are people that abuse the respect other people give.

 

If you want to see how wicked people are and power intoxicated, give them an inch, they will take a yard, or give them a yard, they will take a mile because they think you are afraid of them, the reason you give them respect.

 

WHY WE LAUNCHED A NEW BLOG NAMED SECRETS OF AIDS AND EBOLA

Dutch scientist and microsurgeon, Johan Van Dongen, and Belgian freelance journalist and author, Joel Savage

One summer holiday, together with Professor Johan Van Dongen, we decided to create this blog to bring to the awareness of many people, including Europeans, Americans, and Africans, who have no idea that the two connected diseases (Aids and Ebola) were medical crimes used as bio-weapons by America to depopulate Africa.

On this website or blog, you'll get the right information about every hidden fact about Aids, Ebola, Lassa Fever, and other diseases that politicians and the mainstream media have hidden from the common man on the street. 

On this blog, you'll discover the true origins of Aids and Ebola to consider yourself as one living in an unpredictable, dangerous world and know about the role of the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, The Rockefeller Foundation, Bill Gates, etc, played or participated in depopulation programs.

Joel Savage on Health Challenges with David Crowe

King Leopold's statue


“Why are there still statues of King Leopold of Belgium, who killed a similar number of Africans as Hitler killed Jews?” – David Crowe

David Crowe interviews Joel Savage on AIDS and Ebola, and the dark role of Belgium in African history. Although Joel has worked with Dr. Johan van Dongen on the theory that HIV and Ebola viruses are laboratory-engineered, and David is skeptical of this theory, not accepting that there is any evidence that the viruses exist, it is still an interesting discussion.

Why I Stopped Writing for Diplomatic Aspects Newspaper

Belgium’s top scientist, Guido van der Groen, lied about the origins of Ebola in 2014, after speaking the truth on October 13, 1994, that America invented the virus as a bio-weapon.

Suppose a soothsayer or a clairvoyant had told the Belgian government years ago that an African journalist would one day be in Belgium to expose their crimes, lies, and incompetence. In that case, I believe they would have said, “No way.”

Joel Savage: A Journey of Determination, Writing, and Resilience

The Book Connection Presents: Guest Author Joel Savage

Everyone has objectives, but not everything goes as planned for those who want to achieve something unique in society. I am one of them. I missed part of my education after the sudden death of my father. It occurred to me that if I really wanted to further my education, the only option was to travel to Europe.

I wasn’t greedy, thinking that Europe makes one rich overnight, but I had an idea that if I succeeded in integrating legally, I could follow my dreams since they have the best educational facilities and good teachers.

Upon arrival in Europe, I realized that going to a foreign country could be very difficult in regard to financial aspects and visa applications, but nothing was more difficult than gaining legal immigrant status in a foreign country.

Road of Agony: A True Story of Survival, Corruption and Courage

Non-fiction adventurous book


In many parts of Africa, the passport doesn't mean anything to the immigration officer. They are looking for travelers without a passport to generate some money; thus, holding a passport provokes them.


Like the scene of a movie, Babatunde is kidnapped by thieves in army uniforms. They were looking for money; since he had a bag, they thought there was money in it. Over three decades, the marks he received from the beatings he had from corrupt army officials can be traced to his body.

Road of Agony" is a marvel of a humane, sorrowful, and lucid account, in a sharper, clearer image of understanding, of how corruption is within the police, border control officers, and the army in Africa. The writer has given the truest account of what happened to him, written in a startling manner as an African writer.


THE AUTHOR

Joel Savage was born in Cape Coast, in the central region of Ghana, on January 19, 1957. He had his secondary school at both Ebenezer Secondary School and Accra High School in Accra, Ghana. In 1985, while living in Freetown, Sierra Leone, he became a naturalized citizen, therefore losing his nationality as a Ghanaian.

In his lifetime, he was much influenced by his father, who was a veteran journalist. His father's influence propelled his flair for writing at a very tender age. At school, he wrote numerous articles for publication. After secondary school, he followed a course at the Ghana Institute of Journalism in Accra to acquire more experience and writing skills.

As a freelance writer, Joel wrote feature articles for the Daily Graphic, Ghanaian Times, and Weekly Spectator in Accra, Ghana, for a certain period. He became a naturalized Belgian citizen in 2008. 

He is now a prolific writer and accredited card-holding member of the "Vlaamse Journalisten Vereniging" (Flemish Journalist Association) in Belgium. 

He lives in Antwerp, Belgium, with his wife and three children, where he freelances for newspapers, magazines, and television.

YOU TOO CAN WRITE FOR MONEY

Writing is an interesting, creative part of life.


Many are born with talents. Some of these talents could be hereditary. While others go to school to learn whatever they want to do in life. In this case, some people are born as writers while others are made.

As an African writer who grew up in a hard environment, where education was and is always a luxury, I don't think I would have made it to the university level to study journalism. It is very expensive to study at a university in any part of Africa.

At a very tender age in middle school, I detected my passion for writing. Mine was hereditary because my father was one of the best Ghanaian journalists during the Kwame Nkrumah era. Justin Kodzo Savage (JUSKOSAVE) was assigned as a reporter to travel with Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana.

Many newspapers reject articles. They look for special articles of interest. It seemed I hit my targets right. Every article I wrote was published. That encouraged me to read and write more articles. At secondary school, I had already made a name for myself as a writer.

I was paid for many of my articles, and within a short period, not that I became well-known, but I made a lot of money from my writings. There are many books about how to be a successful writer, but I have my own ideas and rules I dwell on to be a successful writer.

1. Please, when one wants to write articles that can easily be accepted by the print media for publication, choose topics like teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, crime, or any other social problems affecting society to write about. The print media love them.

2. When writing, let readers know about the effect of the chosen subject on society. You could even suggest how the government should tackle the problem by reducing or permanently eradicating it.

3. Don't try to impress the publisher by writing long articles, or else the article may lose its significance. Let your article be short, with all the ingredients that make it interesting. You will be happy sitting at your dining table, reading your own written article.

An African in Antwerp: A Resident’s Story of Immigration, Identity and Resilience

The tale of an African in Belgium


Living in Antwerp has given me a front‑row view of the challenges, pressures, and realities faced by many immigrants in Belgium. My experiences reveal a side of the city that rarely appears in mainstream discussions, especially when it comes to how foreigners navigate daily life, work, and safety.

The Belgium-based African journalist Joel Savage has published a pocket-sized book, An African in Antwerp. It’s his true-life experience and a personal encounter about how he lives in a city where one in three adults is known to vote for the Extreme Right Party.
