I really respect Mr. kofi Annan but I think some african wear would have been better
This UK commissioner, is harbouring to be a Ghanaian. He must be probed!! H.E. Jon Benjamin, please own and I will gladly give you a passport.
Am highly impressed by the posture of the British High Commissiner ( Jon Benjamin ) A request should be made on his behalf for a chieftaincy title. I love every bit of him bcos he's outspoken and calls a spade a spade.
Indefatigable Nana Addo, ubiquitous Jon Benjamin, Gentle giant JA Kufuor, Omanba Kofi Annan. We love you all. Oh, where is our immediate past president John 3:16?
