My school choir sang this song in a singing competition when I was in primary school at Akosombo. ❤❤❤
English, the language from the Gods.
For All Ghanaians
Excellent lecture on the need to cherish our culture, and resist every form of cultural imperialism. Kudos Opanin Agyekum 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Well written and delivered. Very illuminating. Congrats Prof.
Ghana is explaining indigenous Ghanaian culture, but it can only explain it in English.
WHAT A WONDERFUL SPEECH
This is a well prepared lecture on the Man of many parts Torgbi Ephraim Amu of blessed memory by the Professor Agyekum.Congratulations Professor ! And to the Chairman Professor Atsu Ayee, l liked your brief but succinct remarks that summarised the best and important themes of the over one hour presentation. Wonderful and well done both of you. I enjoyed the content and most importantly the spirit of resilience portrayed by the multiple talented Torgbi Amu. May his name linger on! Prof Grace Yawo Gadagbui
Very thought provoking and highly educative. On the lighter note, I think the hall needs some painting.
Great lecture.
Ghana cannot get away from English.
Ghana is holding on to English with their dear life.
Thank you Prof. Kofi Agyekum and GAAS for this insightful lecture that analyzes African/Ghanaian culture from the perspective of indigenous resistance through Ephraim Amu. A powerful approach to both question and to preserve our dignity, identity, and overall culture as Ghanaians and Africans within cultural globalization and imperialism.
Good delivery Prof K. Agyekum .How do I get a copy of your speech.
Prof.Agyekum how do we contact You?
Without English, I don’t think Ghanaians will know how to speak.
Ghanaians will all be walking around giving sign language to each other.
This would have been great if we had done this in our own language instead of a foreign language, the English language. Ghana should wake up and stop the upliftment of foreign languages instead of our own languages. You are honoring an indigenous statesman who is known by old and young as a great man of our land but you are using a foreign language to do so. I do not know when Ghana and for that matter Africa will wake up from our slumber it is becoming one of too many mistakes that we have not made any effort to change since time immemorial ouhhh mother Ghana hmmmnnnn.
I agree with you 💯 %
Ghana is holding on to English like it came from the heavens.
