Ghana Turns Fifty !!!

Congratulations to Ghana as the West African nation commemorates 50 years of independence!

Crowds flocked to Independence Square in Accra to celebrate!

It is my hope and prayer that the next 5 years may eclipse the first 50. May Ghana's rich history and culture be summoned anew, may the spirit of Nkrumah instill her leadership with constructive vision, may she chart her own path with wisdom, and may her people young and old take on the challenge for survival with gusto, eschewing that which hasn’t worked for 50 years, embracing new solutions, born from within.


Spectators filled every square inch to hear the speakers arrayed at the Jubilee commemoration.
The frenzied display of patriotism characterized the day. It seemed to be a new thing in Ghana, but was an excercise well informed by the football fanatics. People went to great lengths to display their colors, red, yellow, green and black.
