GIVE ME NANA OYE LITHUR FOR MY BIRTHDAY!
January 26, 2013
Background: Nana Oye Lithur is a high-profile, gutsy Ghanaian human rights lawyer who champions all human rights including those of homosexuals here in Ghana where it is a crime.

October 19, 2012

BARCAMP IN GHANA & IS @GOOGLEAFRICA HOMOPHOBIC?
July 13, 2012
Awhile back I attended a Barcamp Kumasi at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Needless to say I stood out, not because of my age, nor the colour of my hair, but because of my relative lack of ICT expertise. The techies ruled. What’s more I felt a disconnect. To them it was the […]

Here’s The Washington Post’s story to give you some background. First, it’s NOT about legalizing gay marriage as I first read, but’s […]
MADinGhana June, 2012 Review: WHAT A MONTH!
