About Me
Brought up in Brussels, Belgium (1981-2004), it took me a while to grow up. The sudden passing of my late brother in early nineties forced me to do just that. I love Brussels, but I had to come back to my home of Accra, Ghana in Aug 2004 to work professionally. My journal-writing since 1989 only goes to underscore how the blogosphere is good country for me: it complements my various writings—including since Oct 2007, those for Ghana’s only Sunday newspaper Sunday World as ICT/Technology columnist, which position was seconded by a former boss.
