The first time I came here, I couldn’t stop crying because I had come to a place called home which I had never been and I felt robbed so I’m good now. Now you know we’re doing some businesses over here, we’re going to create some opportunities over here, we’re going to change the thought process and this is going to help shape, especially bridge the gap between African Americans and Africans cos that’s what you have to do…” he told the government delegation led by Tourism Minister Barbara Oteng-Gyasi.
