I've not done a great job blogging in 2015 like I promised I would, Life happened. But am cool with it. I'll try again next year with more efficiency and great results. Today is my 32nd birthday. Yeah, I grew. I used the #mightyafrican hashtag quite a lot in celebrating my birthday. It trended as a result. Here's evidence below and a few selected tweets. 2:33am in #Ghana .

We call +Barcamp Accra the Father Christmas of Barcamps. It normally happens on the Saturday before Christmas but the festive season is not the main driver behind this choice. It is to cater for allowing Ghanaians from all over the world to meet, those in Ghana and in the Diaspora. The Borgas have been arriving and we can see it in the Accra traffic. They'll quickly realise that the top issues in Ghana in 2015 are #Dumsor and #Corruption . The latter is still rife and is the main topic driving Barcamp Accra 2015. Corruption clearly for me are the symptoms of bigger systemic issues we have in Ghana. But why and how do we become corrupt? What can we do to fight this canker? It will be addressed via a panel discussion at +GhanaThink Foundation 's 55th Barcamp in Ghana. The team putting this together is led by +Duncan Elikplim Kwame Gablah alongside +Atitsogbui Patrick Keli +Watson Bedzrah +Bubune Sorkpor   +Dieu-Donne Gameli +Esperanza Yakubu +Nana Fynn Class-Peters...

Koforidua is an interesting town in Ghana. It's arguably the closest regional capital to Accra, actually it is. But it's not the biggest town in its region, Nkawkaw is. I'll spend a night there this weekend as I attend  +Barcamp Koforidua , the 3rd edition. I love how Barcamp Koforidua finally took off. It was thanks to  +Nkansah Rexford  digging in, the reality that  +Samuel Tinagyei  was based there,  +Billy James Dega 's efforts in getting  +Eric Amonoo  and  +Samuel Mari Twum  involved from the All Nations University side and the heaven sent  +Duncan Elikplim Kwame Gablah  and  +Jemima Abochie  due to the first National Volunteer Day. This year, after 2 years of taking over All Nations University College's Engineering school , the venue for Barcamp Koforidua will be at the Kama Conference Hall . Yes, Koftown is about 90 minutes from Accra but the Eastern Region's Barcamp won't be happening in Osu. It's in K...
