About the Book

The book is a very deep and well-crafted creative mystery story based on facts and fiction. It is based on spiritual revelations on the name given to the country Ghana formerly Gold Coast. Once a prosperous country, Gold Coast now Ghana has since gone through turbulence, trials and tribulations, which not only changed the fortunes of her citizens but has scattered them all over the world.

The book explores the notion that Ghana’s problems may be due to the name given to the country and chronicles the tragedy of the life of her citizens who in search of the Golden Fleece are pursued across the globe until they meet their untimely death.

The book is inspirational, poignant, historical and revealing. It draws its title from a Nigerian traveling bag called Ghana Must Go, a name which emanated from the bags the Ghanaians used to carry their loads when they were expelled from Nigeria in 1985.Ghana Must Go is a thought provoking and sizzling story. It’s a book for all Ghanaians at home and in Diaspora, Nigerians and those who are interested in the continent and her salvation.    


About the Author

Born on the 28th of April 1940, the author sojourned in Nigeria for a while until the civil war took him back to Ghana where he qualified as a journalist and specialized as a screen play-wright.  As a born actor he merged acting and writing together for a living.

The story “GNANA MUST GO” was inspired by a peculiar dream he had three consecutive times, in three different cities.  Temo, Accra and Lagos at seven years intervals, and each time that same dream (Revelations) came to him, he saw a particular Roman Catholic Priest the very next day.  When it happen in the two cities (Temo and Accra) in Ghana, he just took it for granted as coincidence, but when it repeated itself in Lagos, assurance of an authentic symbolism of a bag in Nigeria now called “GHANA MUST GO”.

As a play-wright the author has written several stories for the “Osofa Dadze” group in Ghana, and many other television and Cinema screen plays including “Golden Sikaman”, “Bridge Across the Sea”, “Tyranny in Africa”, “God’s Plan for Africa” and “Back to Sion” to mention a few.
