A trip to Wa 26th-27th of March

I was in Wa, the Upper West Regional capital on a visit to PEPS-C (Producer Enterprises Promotion Service Center) After my mission had completed, I decided to take a stroll through the Wa township.

My first point of call was an Internet café. Guess where? Maana Linx Internet Café! Members of the network will remember that the closure of Maana Linx by the VAT services was extensively discussed on this network.

The news therefore is that Maana Linx has started operation again to the delight of not only the University for Development Studies students alone but also to the whole Wa township.

But there is even bigger and better news. The monopoly of Maana linx has also been broken. A new internet café, ‘THE TREND CAFÉ’, has just opened.

What I find baffling is that while Maana Linx charges 10,000 cedis per hour, the Trend Computers, operators of the Trend Internet café charges 7000 cedis per hour and yet they have a faster link.

Cheers!

Arrived Safely

Okay, i took off from the Capital of the Republic of Ghana at 8:30 am. The STC bus was as usual, a subject for discussion. People were peeved because they had paid the full fee for a luxury bus only to be ushered into a bus without Radio or Television set. The A/c was not just working.

I travelled for nearly 15 hours to get to Tamale.

Thanks to God, it was a safe journey.

Ciao!

GINKS office

Hi,
well, the day seems great. the year 2007 has been a great year for me. Goodness has been following me.

A first timer at the GINKS secretariat today in a brief meeting with Sir jonnie Akakpo, Ibrahim and Prince. The secretariat i must say looks very simple and decent. Still in the mood of the Ghana @50 celebration, i saw two flags hoisted outside of the secretariat.

I will be on the next available STC bus to Tamale to begin my work as a knowledge sharing man, taking the lead by coordinating activities up north.

Cheers!
