Blog entries from: Accra Pictures by Day & Night

Accra is the capital of the small, West African country of Ghana, which achieved its independence in 1957 from its colonial master, the United Kingdom. It celebrates 50 years in 2007, and is projecting itself fast and furiously as "gateway to West Africa". It's an exciting city, with its unique problems, but with it close to the Atlantic ocean, and many beaches, who can resist coming here? Come along...check this blog out also on ACCRADAILYPHOTO.com

This morning, I was still in my pyjamas when I caught the electrifying speech of newly-re-elected President of the United States Barack Obama. Little did one know that a few hours later--right here in Accra--a narrative would be written,opening up a whole new debate about the country and its attention to regulation--or lack thereof. Coming a few weeks before our general election on 7 December, one can only hope it pricks the consciences of the policy-makers and those who run the Accra metropolis day-by-day.
