Country of Origin: Ghana
Short bio: I come from a small town called Cape Coast in Ghana, West Africa. The town is famous for its role in African history. Besides being the former capital of the Gold Coast, it was an important centre for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In my memory, I associate it with mouth-watering smells of freshly fried fish, Abrofosem and unusual humor.
When I am not thinking about Institutions, History and Economics, you will probably find me at the nearest Basketball court trying to get my shots in. I’m good when I am close to the basket, my mid-range game is dependent on my mood and my long-range game still needs a bit of work. By the way, I have never dunked a basketball in my life. These days I can touch the rim so I think there is still some hope!
