    And what were some of his accomplishment as a founding member and a chief of an association? I ask and you be the judge.

  • BE BOLD 9 years ago

    His face looks familiar to me but at times, I ponder the relevance and the benefits derived from these associations abroad, other than to extend the legs of tribalism. May he rest in peace!

    ASSOCIATION OF GHANAIANS IS ENOUGH!!!ABOLISH THE STUPID TRIBAL ASSOCIATIONS!
