Accra has a traffic problem.
Over the past 2 months we’ve been digging for secrets on how Accra got into this mess, and more importantly how we dig ourself out.
and we’re finally ready to share it.
Our first explainer - Accra, the City that Can’t Move, premieres on YouTube today at 6pm.
see you thereee.
In 2021, I met a little boy in Darkuman who was making toy cars out of pieces of wood.
I remember looking at him and thinking, “This child is gifted.”
But behind that gift was a painful story.
Prince Kojo was being raised by a single mother who was struggling to make ends meet. He had very little support and was enduring abuse at the hands of his stepfather. Like many children born into difficult circumstances, he had talent, dreams, and potential, but not the opportunities he needed to thrive.
By the grace of God, we took him under our care at @FTFGhana, supported his education, secured a scholarship for him to study Robotics at Asustem Robotics, and helped put him on the right path to gain admission to a TVET school, where he started studying Auto Mechanics last year.
Today, Prince Kojo is beginning a sponsored automotive training programme at the West African Vehicle Academy in Accra during his school vacation.
Sometimes I look at his journey and wonder what would have happened if nobody had stopped to care.
How many brilliant children are out there right now, full of potential but trapped by circumstances they did not choose?
Prince Kojo’s story reminds me that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.
And sometimes, all it takes to change a child’s life forever is one person deciding to believe in them.
Who knows what is next for him? Maybe one day he will build his own automobile company. Maybe he will design vehicles that transform the industry, or perhaps he will start his own toy car manufacturing company.
What I do know is this: his story is only just beginning.
And I could not be more proud of him. ❤️

Tough choices, but @SpursOfficial always comes first for Kevin Danso. I made him choose his favorites among these Ghanaian staples and teams. Which of his choices surprised you the most? 😮❤️
Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
I learnt about Canada through the eyes of a Canadian and I am forever grateful. I see many Nigerians make the same mistake a Bola, Kazeem and Chidinma made because their whole immigration journey is hinged on so and so lives in Calgary so I need to move to Calgary as well. I had
