Ghana is considered as one of the more stable countries on this planet. A gateway to West Africa, and by extension Africa when it comes to business and opportunities. The people of Ghana are known largely by their hospitality and respectful nature. Once known as the Gold Coast, Ghana gained independence from British colony in 1957. The first president after independence was Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Ghana was the first sub-Saharan nation to break the chains of colonialism. Until recently Gold, Cocoa and Bauxite were the main export of Ghana’s export but recently, however, today oil and gas form the basis of Ghana’s economy.

The shores of Ghana today have become UN world heritage sites as they hold over 40 forts and castles that attest to early trading links with Africa and later transformed into slave-forts of the infamous slave trade, a chilling history which saw the exodus of African into diaspora; the plantations in the Americas and Europe. The first European Edifice found on the coast of West Africa St. George castle is found at Elmina in Ghana then known as Gold-Coast because of its richness in gold and other minerals, built by the Portuguese in 1515 after they first arrived in 1471. The British arrived in 1530, the French 1542 landed at Dixcove and the Dutch in 1593 and that signaled the beginning of rivalry for dominance between the European powers. Other players were the Swedes and the Danes.
