Working In Haste

Several construction works are ongoing across the country in this time of year. You’d see Labourers either patching potholes, scraping out shallow gutters or spreading thin layers of asphalt on neighbourhood roads.

It happens every four years for an apparent reason. Promises made years ago are now getting their fulfillment. Possibly, funds for such projects arrived late or more urgent challenges needed addressing. Whatever the reasons, these projects tend to become shoddy and would be desperately in need of repairs a couple of years later.

Butterflies inspired many of my designs, so much that I became the best in my Textiles Design class.

Rawlings – You Couldn’t Ignore The Man

He was the president when I was growing up. Once in a while, he and his convoy drove through the village. And we lined the streets chanting his name. Some of us kids barely had any shirt on. With sheeny little tummies bulging out like baseballs, we squealed and waved till we almost lost our voice.

Vodafone Icons- A Lesson Of Storytelling, Humour And Originality

It was such a breathtaking competition to watch, from the auditions through to the finals. The show never limped along with unnecessary behind-the-scenes, such as contestants in a home eating fried rice and chicken.

One of the enthralling moments in Ghana’s history was the burgeoning of private radio stations, especially in Accra.

The novel variety was great. Listening to the radio was so much refreshing.
