#Ghana60YearsOn: #MightyAfrican stories, thoughts and hopes

By -
We called it the GhanaThink Foundation because we thought (and would continue to think) about Ghana. It's been more than 12 years since GhanaThink was born. It's also been a while since I did a blog post, or even wrote a piece for this #mightyafrican blog . Today is a great day to break that duck. Ghana is 60 years old ! We are celebrating, marking, reminiscing, criticizing, strategizing, thinking and doing.  I love #Ghana so much. It's great to mark #Ghana60YearsOn . #Morevim 4 all that we do. #GhanaAt60 : Less talk, more action. More vim to that. pic.twitter.com/oy793QMr8X — Ato Ulzen-Appiah (@Abocco) March 6, 2017 To be frank, I am not as excited about Ghana, mostly because of our growth pace, development we can fell in around us and in our pockets and the politics and antics I've seen that are hurting Ghana and don't seem to be abating.

Launched around 2006, it was more than a website; it was a destination. It was the first truly pan-African digital hub built by fans, for fans, with a multifaceted mission: to be the ultimate home for the African music enthusiast. Deeper Than the Beat: Lyrics and Discovery To understand Museke’s impact, one must remember the internet of its time. Finding a new song was only h...

The Baseline of Excellence: Improving the State of Ghanaian Tennis

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about tennis . From my childhood days at the KNUST library—where I’d swap books for a racket to play with my brother Kofi and friends from Tech Campus —to watching my favorite tennis players win, I have always been a big tennis fan. Recently, I visited my cousin Nana Adwoa . Her husband was watching some tennis on DSTV and I struck up a conversation about tennis. Turns out he goes all the way to play tennis at the Accra Sports Stadium and is very much involved in the sport #inGhana . Tennis has always been a part of my #MightyAfrican identity. But as an analyst and a strategist, I have to be honest: the state of tennis in Ghana needs #MoreVim . We have the talent, but do we have the system? To build a powerhouse, we have to look at the game from the ground up—from the primary school playground to the ATP and WTA circuits.
