When #Graphic advertises #Voltic Sachet Water. . .

When you think of drinking #water in #Ghana, you are supposed to think of #Voltic, which is known for having provided bottled water for years in this country.

But it also produces #sachetwater, which is a "staple" of many a #westAfrican economy. I must say this is the first time I have seen it advertising its sachet water. Is it an indication of #badtimes for the company?

Welcome to Oxford Street Mall, welcome Big Capital!

#Capitalism has a new home: #Ghana, where malls spring up faster than you can say "is that another #Lebanese retail outfit?".

Oxford Shopping Mall is a new one, boasting five floors. #Shoprite is already running. Quick! Run and go spend. !!:-\

I guess the only consolation now is that in the competition between Accra Mall, A&C Plaza, Marina Mall and Oxford Street Mall, there will be some sense of discrete units of the population aggregated in certain parts of Accra.

As to whether this will be a boon to the horrendous Christmas traffic, the jury is out on that one!

Picked up your Neighbourhood paper?

I know it has been more than a while. I am around, just experiencing a LOT of real life, including following up on new, indigenous projects like this one.

What if we could Aggregate our Choice of...Food?

In a country that seems to depend a lot on hope, Ghanaians will be happy to know that technology is slowly-displacing this more-ephemeral of sensations to one predicated on practicality.

Ghanaians have been using social media long enough to know of blog, and news aggregators. But what if we could aggregate our choice of food?

Well, hello Ghana, hello food!  Actually: no pun intended. “Hellofood” is the latest and newest thing to hit town—or rather, our taste buds. It’s an exciting new way of ensuring we have our food orders delivered safely, conveniently; and easily into our homes.

Ghanaians love their food, and in an age quasi-obsessed with aggregation and choice, convenience can only come in the form of Hellofood!

Ghana Police on watch...

...on #spintexRoad. Traffic flow is supa-dupa! Give it up for them:-D

Check your Gas prices!

If you ever had any doubt as to what to pay for filling your gas, the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company (GCMC) may not have a dedicated website to finding out, but I must personally say their efficiency is assured!

You can find out more about them here: http://www.energymin.gov.gh/?page_id=136


Keep safe -- handling your gas!

It's Friday! Time to Step out!

It's become a bit of a cliché to claim Ghanaians go out in style, but thing is the women probably are more stylish than we men! Check out the variety of styles and colours in these designs the women are wearing. Taken on a Sunday, which is the traditional Church day, I was sure to capture all sorts of colours and designs that probably make up the beautiful kaleidoscope of Ghana's culture.

Make your weekend safe! And, might I add, great to be back!
