Amewoyi opened Ghana’s history up in MISSING FATHERS by taking a look at events such as the overthrow of governments with late ex-President Jerry John Rawlings 1979 coup documented by the author. Though he had the coup, his intention was clear and that was to hand over power to Hilla Limann, however that event triggered several others which then transformed Ghana or set the country on a different path till date.

Most notably included the 80s hunger which flooded the country, citizens fleeing the country to neighbouring Western African countries due to the hunger and more.

The author’s take on parenting from the Western Africa country based on the aforementioned counts to many other events elsewhere around the world.

Furthermore, the fraction of humans that are affected mostly when parents absent themselves are children, and it’s not an African situation rather global occurrences that have happened over and over again, hence, rendering many children homeless, or finding refuge either external family members or in foster homes.

Harking back to the well-patronized celebration of 400-years since the first batch of slaves were shipped from the shores of Ghana to the United States in what was termed Year Of Return, A lot of diasporans returned back to Ghana in 2019 to celebrate with the country, and most importantly to reconnect with their roots, clutch to their heritage and many other benefits.

Missing Fathers detailed how most of the returnees for the Year Of Return celebration gave the count of tracing their ancestral paths to the country.
