Here's a round-up of some of my favourite blogs relating to Ghana by Ghanaians and foreigners alike.
One of the most informative blogs written by a Ghanaian, in my view, is Accra Conscious Forever. Check out the latest post on Twestival using social media to raise funds for education for needy children around Ghana.
When it comes to food, there is no better blog than Betumi. You can read about every kind of dish from Ghana you can imagine at this site.
Another top Ghanaian writer is E.K. Bensah and his blog The Trials and Tribulations of a Freshly Arrived Denizen of Ghana, with a fantastic view of Akosombo Bridge as the main header. If you want to know what it's like to get caught in Accra traffic, read The Unbearable Lightness of Being in Spintex Road Traffic. (Great title, crappy situation.)
One of the most beautiful Ghanaian women writers is Maya Mame of Maya's Earth Blog. Her blog is quite personal and gives you a sense of how life is for a Ghanaian-Swede woman bringing up a family here. You also get a sense of life in Ghana.
Thanks for providing interesting guide. Awesome writing style .Creative mind!
