Cultural Heritage of Ghana - CAN 2008.

Did you know a country without culture is sort of a man without soul? And a person without soul is as good as a still-born baby? And a still-born baby is that entity which could not take in the 1st breath of life at birth? That first breath of life is the soul which is a part of the Almighty Creator Himself, without which, no homo sapien can survive?

Perhaps the Holy Bible will help to better illustrate the point I am attempting to make here.

On Sun. , twentieth Jan , 2008, the MTN 26th Africa Cup of States , dubbed Ghana 2008 started in the capital town of Accra.

The object of this piece is to try and review the grand launch Rite of the event, where Ghanaian culture was planted like a flourishing rose flower in the centre of the earth for humanity to behold, relish and hold dear. It was superb and "extraordinaire" as the French will say. For the person or group of people who sat down, or stood up or were in motion and thru attunement and meditation, received inspiration from the Ultimate Creator and managed to transform their visualization into the realization of what was displayed at the just renovated Ohene Djan Stadium for over four bln people to witness worldwide, merit praise. For the second 2, the provincial ones, 21 and roulette, while the ones in the capital, Accra, also have poker tables.

While there are both gold mining and timber sales as industries in Ghana, most of the populace and almost all of the economy is predicated on subsistence ( or peasant ) farming. This is one reason why the list of Ghana's casinos is so short.

In fact, for most of the area's history there have actually only been 2 exports : slaves ( The Ashanti Dominion was a prime source for the Arab slavers long before whites reached the area ), and gold : indeed, the country still boasts one of the biggest mines and gold firms in the world, again named after the traditional dominion, Ashanti.

Gambling and casinos have historically done very well in mining areas, but this is changing as the business becomes more capital comprehensive : no longer are there militaries of well-paid miners ripping at a hillside. Now it is few people and enormous numbers of very expensive machines.

So, there are the explanations why the list of Ghana's casinos is so short. The colorful fireworks represents the modern form of our convention gun salutes when a great state event is getting ready to take off. The symbol is what can be discovered in the Kwame Nkrumah Commemorative Park in Accra.
