With so perfect a stage, it is pointless to lament that the rest of the Met is slightly tacky.

Part of the earnings had come from his printing company and two daily newspapers in Accra, but Nkrumah's biggest moneymaker was the National Development Corporation, which held a virtual monopoly on Ghana's import trade and was the only automobile insurance company that Ghanaian...
