For the The New York Times, I I wrote about how Accra is rich with stories and is a city of books. I also include book recommendations, in case you want to Read Your Way Through Accra!

This was me researching and writing it. I just wanted a caper. Then came the procession of crooks - elected and unelected - ruining everything.

This brilliant excerpt is from Anansi’s Gold by Yepoka Yeebo. A must read for lovers of Ghanaian political history.

I'm obsessed

The reviews of Yepoka Yeebo’s book have been excellent. I can’t remember the last book by a Ghanaian author which made it to so many top 100 books of the year list. Go get your copy now amazon.com/Anansis-Gold-O…

Yepoka Yeebo is right. “If a lie is big enough—if enough people profit from it—that lie will not just change history: it will become history”.

I am protesting because my first child, my son, had to die because the NICU had no ventilators #OccupyJulorbiHouse

I am protesting because Akawei hospital aka ga south municipal hospital (the emergency to be precise) had no suction machine and my mom had to die 💔

#OccupyJulorbiHouse

I am protesting because a whole korlebu has just one MRI machine which is also faulty as at now and has cost me the life of my best friend. #OccupyJulorbiHouse

I am demonstrating today because we can find millions of different currencies in a minister’s house, carefully concealed, but for months government couldn’t find money to purchase vaccines for the six childhood killer diseases. Some children died.

A veteran activist whose son has been picked up is telling us about how they were brutalized as students during an anti-Acheampong demonstration in 1978. Family tradition. #OccupyJulorbiHouse

What an honour!

I have no words 😭😭😭

.Yepoka Yeebo’s book is as much a history of Ghanaian politics as it is a history of Ackah Blay-Miezah.

Happy UK release day to Anansi's Gold!
