@ Kofi Yesu, how many Ghanaian professionals are in the US, Canada, UK working? You can’t blame her for living in the UK, look at the situation in Ghana, another generation is leaving in droves for the West.

bitter truth from bitter person who's drank adonko bitters. naniama, she open a business where your uncle who paid your schools earned some money. she paid sch fees for people in her village, so she help ghana or not? odwan
Did you want her to stay in Ghana and go begging like most of our past heroes who can't even pay for their hospital bills?
Great achievements are for the honor of the nation and her generations to come. Those who seek to bury history do that at their own peril. Kudos to Rose Asiedua, the African flying Queen.
Beautiful story. God bless you Nurse Rose.
Well done, mama. You have achived what Napolean could not do. Now mession accumplised stay home and enjoy a good life. Ghanaians love you.
