VALUE ADDED CHAIN IN KUMASI (2)
October 18, 2012
And wouldn’t I be remiss if I didn’t mention Kumasi’s premier meat processor FOUR VILLAGES INN meats that has just renewed its awning? Needless to say, Four Villages Inn Meats supplies Four Villages Inn with its famous beef and pork breakfast sausages. Now here’s a strong value added link between two quality businesses! What Ghana […]
VALUE ADDED CHAIN IN KUMASI (1)
October 18, 2012
The government is pushing for synergy between regions, 4 in particular-Accra, Central, Ashanti and Western. Ha! Not when Accra gobbles up all arrivals and spits its tourists out for day trips. Enough. I’m realistic…the closer the value the stronger the link in the chain. Here’s an example…I discovered a new bakery. I had gone there, […]

October 2, 2012
Recently, on my good news blog, www.fourvillagesinn.wordpress.com, I posted a celebration of Adanwomase, a kente village located just outside Kumasi, a favourite with Four Villages Inn tourists.

RESPONSE TO THE GHANA HOTELS ASSOCIATION’S APPEAL TO FORGO TAX
September 10, 2012
This appeal went out from the Ghana Hotels Association at the recent National Executive Committee Meeting. I once sat at this table. I wish I did now, because would I have ever voiced my disapproval. In essence the Association requested that the government “review the 5% revenue authority tax on hotels and release the members […]

August 3, 2012
If you’ve been following the saga of the sign, then you’ll be pleased to know that visitors destined for the south side of Kumasi won’t miss the turn off. The old sign will now more than do the job until the new blue sign is put up!

August 1, 2012
or subtitle: “Maybe I should have just kept my big mouth shut!” READ ON! If you follow this blog, you know MADINGHANA is obsessed with signs: directional signs, promotional signs and locational signs. After all, we live in Kumasi THE SIGN CITY OF WEST AFRICA, unfortunately no longer the GARDEN CITY OF WEST AFRICA that […]
WHO GIVES A HOOT? MADINGHANA DOES, FOR ONE.
July 12, 2012
It happened a few days ago…at 6:00 am…just behind us. I was in the bathroom. I looked out the window and there the culprit was….a taxi hooting for his passengers to arrive. Fortunately, there was somebody passing who I asked to get the driver. He did and I remarked quietly that people were sleeping, that […]
PLEASE GOD NOT A CROSS….
July 10, 2012
Oh God, please don’t let them put a cross on this roof! A little background: The plots behind us used to be a poultry farm. The farm existed before this zone was classified as first class residential and was therefore allowed to operate. But the farm went belly up and Nana, the owner, sold off […]
