International Night @ the Library program at the Old Town Library on 11/25/2025 beginning @ 1800 hours. "The pulse of West Africa: Ghana-Nigeria and everything in-between."
Synopsis
The story of Ghana’s relationship with Nigeria is an exciting tale of how two countries, with no shared borders, have become so closely connected that their citizens often think of them as one. In this talk, I share insights from my experiences in both countries—exploring their shared values, striking contrasts, and all the fascinating things in-between that make this West African connection truly unique.
