University of Ghana Legon. Hmmm i remeber those days when i used to wash cloths to earn money to see me through my SHS education. Though I couldn't make it to any of the universities in Ghana I have learn a great lesson growing up. Francis keep focus and don't be carried away by your sucsses and humble yourself for God is not yet finished with you. The hard time i went through in Ghana has really pave a great way for me abroad. God be with you Francis

Self-Agrandization could end Ghana soon Some of us had gone through self-orphanization to self-agrandization via self-povertization but do not complain that much even though we are undertaking global projects of grandes envergures. Anyway, each one for him/herself
