Occupation: journalist
Biography: I am a writer, a farmer (at the conversion stage to farming organically, currently!) and a lover of art. I like to help others less fortunate than myself - by sharing ideas that can help them change their circumstances. Preserving the natural environment and the diverse and rich culture of Ghana, is a passion for me. And above all, fighting Ghana's greedy and corrupt oligarchs through articles in my newspaper column, "Musings of an old man" (currently in The Insight newspaper in Ghana), and in my blogg, "Thoughts of a native", on the Ghanaweb.com website! I love and adore dogs (and animals in general) - and get on with them even better than with fellow humans!!!
