HAPPY 64TH INDEPENDENCE DAY GHANA.

On behalf of the management, we wish all our lovely fans a Happy Independence Day. We can't celebrate the fertile land Ghana without you.



We can't celebrate Ghana without mention Kwame Nkrumah, Edward Akuffo Addo, O. Lamptey,JB. Danquah,Ofori Atta, Akoh Agyei and some prominent men and women who fought for the Independence of Ghana. Although we are in difficult times but Mother Ghana, the Black Star of Hope has to be celebrate in colors.

64 years after colonization is not a short journey. With one mind All sought to find Freedom which in bondage hid to blind But none triumphed but one in a kind Kwame Nkrumah! Stopper of the colonial grind! II We have travelled a long way Graduated to adulthood so can have our say Way past our childish play Not so easy a stay But […](By: Amoafowaa).

Another Poem about Ghana's independence by MIghTy African- March 06, 2009. He knew himself before they knew him

He moulted into the face they wanted for him

But inside he wanted to remain the same

He fought as he reddened

He sold as he yellowed

He destroyed as he greened

He shined as he blackened

He paced as he faced occupation

He led as he fled domination

It was about time


Pregnant with positive action

United as one at one

Completely free at three

Borders were not very sexy at six

Divided came to a head at ten

Went to pride land at twenty

Happened to be thirsty at thirty

Life had already began at forty

Showing he is nifty at fifty

About to be about that time


It's kind of funny that

He shaped his movement to Jacko's steps

Before he knew what made Daddy move

It's kind of funny that

He first knew Skeletor as He-man's nemesis

Before he knew his own skeleton

It's kind of funny that

He watched out for red, gold, green

And followed the red, white, blue

It's kind of funny but it's about time


We were high on life then

Flying on the waves we played

Now, we live it from the hip

Partying the sounds we learnt

We started to write our own gospel

Inscribing our local culture globally

Now others write the gospel for us

Because of our scribes are global and not local

It's about time we eat what is homegrown

Because we are homegrown


Our life has been like the canopy walkway at Kakum

Others have done it but we feel we can't

Our journey has been like the door at Elmina Castle

Leaving home and not knowing when we will return

Our culture has been like the Kintampo Falls

Beholding beauty we struggle to embrace

Our years have been like the Volta Lake

Everytime it doesn't rain, we are in crisis

This time, our growth calls for a golden jubilation

It's about time our jubilation called for growth


We fought for Akosombo at Ho

We gardened Wa at Kumasi

We dug Elmina at Obuasi

We built Tamale at Takoradi

We welcomed many people in what became Nkran

Nkran congregated people in what became Accra

Accra welcomes many people in what becomes Greater Accra

Accra is emptying into what is becoming the Diaspora

And we waited to see if Accra would give back

Maybe it's about that time


I see her and I see you

You see him and you see me

I don't know you and you don't know me

But it's a big party so let's dance

Because when the Black Stars shine

You are known to me and I am known to you

Because you celebrate what I agitate

You agitate me to celebrate you

It's about time you celebrate what I create

Because I create it for me and you


It's always been about time

And it will always be about time

Because time keeps on slipping

Into the future

As we turn into the sleeper

And wake up for the future

But before we remove our slippers for bed

Let's jubilate and celebrate

Because today I love you and you love me

And we love the anniversary that connects us


These and more we celebrate our cherished country Ghana.

Long live Ghana, Long Live Duayaw Nkwanta TV.
