  In tribute to this great brother of the "Inky Fraternity", I would say that Nick, as the then Editor of the Sunday Mirror, was one of the illustrious journalists who brought a lot of innovations to that beloved Weekly. It is recalled that the Ghana King of Highlife, E.T. Mensah, beautifully framed the Sunday Mirror in a song as a "lovely paper that costs you nothing, kobo biu, damma, kpaikpaanyo..."
  
  I very fondly recall our various awareness, informational and attitudinal change campaign trips throughout the country with the then Commissioner for the Ministry of Information, the late General R.E.A. KOTEI.
  
  Somehow, Nicholas Allandu's name was a tongue-twister to the Commissioner who addressed him as "Nick Olinda". Nick greatly facilitated and contributed to the success of the Government's "Operation Talking Drums" program by which, on the orders of General Kotei, the national dailies and the Sanyo preset radios and batteries were airlifted from the South for distribution in the North by the Ghana Air Force skyvan plane. That was in the late 70s when the national dailies were published and printed exclusively in the South.
  
  By that "Operation", the newspapers were available for same-day reading in the North.
  
  Nick, Rest in peace. Your contributions certainly moved journalism in Ghana many steps forward.
