Killer roads is my first ever documentary that i produced as a broadcast journalist working at Joyfm (an Accra based radio station). So what's the feeling? i don't know...mixed feelings? After the hustle and bustle beside relief, what else? one thing i know is that i am proud of it, after all Killer Roads is my achievement and i'm thankful to god for it. The whole experience of getting into people's lives, their privacy, insecurities,pains,joy is a humbling experience. They are not just anybodys , they are victims of road crashes. So what went into putting together this work? I know it was not my effort only and that's the Joy news team spirit.But life can sometimes be a tough and you would have to fight for what is yours. in the end you become a warrior, so that's not so bad. Back to my queation, sleepless nights and long hours of work, disappointments, frustrations etc...all these brought to life Killer Roads. As a young journalist learning the ropes of ...

When it comes to fashion there are 2 groups of people, those who follow trends and those who create them. Of course there are those who couldn’t be bothered about what they wear or how they look, yet they have style even if it’s no style at all.

Philosophically speaking everything has contrary properties and yet remains the same. No matter how many different and new trends fashion takes o...
My visit to Spain last year was a turning point in my life. the plan was just to go study, have fun, enjoy the culture and come back to gloomy old Ghana as i call it. So 8 months after my return here i am, the spanish babe - some nicknamed me the spanish fly. lol. Three months in Spain seemed long enough to do some self reflections, self confrontations and my favourite, catharsis of my soul. Before i left i wasn't so much a big fun of Ghana. I love Africa but am still working on Ghana, if you know what i mean. I don't know if the feeling about Ghana in another man's country is pride, i didn't feel proud at all, rather shame.

The tarred roads, organization of the town, the low cost of living, the clean beaches and the beautiful culture, all seemed better than Ghana, even the people. I'm not a typical Ghanaian, and as such had my own re...
