Kwame Nkrumah @ 100

Monday September 21 was the centenary birthday of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's founding president and a great voice in the call for African unity. He was celebrated at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park in Accra. In the middle of this photo is Dr. Julius Garvey, son of Marcus Garvey, one of the earliest people to call for the unity of Africa, leading a group of pan-Africanists in a procession with the Nkrumah statue in the background.

Apples everywhere

I have observed that it is easier these days to find apples on the streets of Accra than it is to find oranges to buy. Apples are not grown in Ghana, they're imported but it baffles me to find that there are more apple sellers than there are orange sellers. A matter of economics I think, apples cost more and returns on investment must surely play a part in traders' decisions.

Happy fan

This fan was very excited in the stadium on Sunday after Ghana clinched a ticket for the world cup in South Africa next year.
