#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.

No, I have not been there for any weddings, even though my date for the senior ball in MIT was Camerounian. I learnt about Cameroonian music from her, others at MIT and then later at Stanford , and others I met during my time in the US, and traveling around the continent. Google helped during the Museke days too. I wanted to do a list of top 5, but there are too many songs. So I have aggregated 11 , to represent Cameroun in the World Cup of #MusicWeDeyFeel . The starting eleven . Drop your opinions, props, suggestions in the comments section . Here we go, in no particular order, you can suggest who plays centre forward, sweeper, maestro, left wing back or goal...

For 17 years, Barcamp Ghana has been more than just a series of events; it has been a movement. As I lead the GhanaThink Foundation , our mission remains steadfast: to build a critical mass of youth who are patriotic, passionate, positive, proactive, progressive, and productive . In 2025, this GhanaThink program took this mission across 13 cities, proving that when changemakers, doers, entrepreneurs and innovators gather, the impact is undeniable. A Transformative Year for Innovation The theme for 2025— "Impact | Innovation | Quality" —was a deliberate step toward intentional action. For Impact , we highlighted corporate social responsibility and local initiatives. For Innovation , we celebrated entrepreneurs, including those who shared one-minute pitches. For Quality , we focused on the quality of youth #inGhana , quality #MadeInGhana products to the air we breathe via the #CleanAirGhana campaign. Throughout the year, I had the privilege of joining our local teams on the...
