My Friends,

In this 78th edition of your favourite magazine, we report on the WORLD WE WANT - POST 2015. Read the interview with Ruby Sandhu–Rojon, the United Nations Resident Co-ordinator in Ghana, as we look at the progress Ghana is making with the millennium development goals that are due for review in 2015.

This month we celebrate women, by focusing on a number of different women in Ghana involved in diverse fields.

In our arts and culture pages we cannot fail to be inspired by Nyornuwofia, (that means the queen of women in Ewe) an exceptional artist, mother, teacher and gender activist. We delve into her life and discover her aspirations and inspirations.

We take a look at Donia, a shrewd businesswoman who has just opened a casino and nightclub business in Osu and Naa Amanua Williams, who has just opened a new fashion accessories shop for women of all ages.

Our own marketing manager, our friend and sister Julie just got engaged and we could not miss the opportunity to wish her good luck for her forthcoming nuptials and share the pictures of her engagement.

To all the women who work to make the magazine such a success, Jihane, Karen, Priscilla, Ruby, Julie, Naa, Nyornuwofia, Donia, Naa Amanua, Akweley, Carole, Sophie, Keli, Tina and Vicky, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day.

The Francophonie week has come and gone and to bring it to a musical close, the French Ambassador hosted a dinner at his residence for his fellow Ambassadors who were lucky enough to be serenaded by Sessimé. There was a wine tasting event organized by the Swiss embassy and many other reports of happenings in and around Accra.

To all friends of Enjoy, the very best of love from the team.

...Enjoy

he Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that were officially established at the Millennium Summit of the United Nations in 2000, following the adoption of the United Nations Millennium Declaration. All 193 United Nations member states and at least 23

international organizations have agreed to achieve these goals by the year 2015 and each of the goals has specific stated targets and dates for achieving them.

The United Nations Country Team in Ghana in partnership with the National Development Planning Commission held nationwide consultative processes to elicit views on development agenda post 2015. These consultations were also held simultaneously in over 50 countries.

Although Ghana is said to be making tremendous progress in some of the MDGs as the country approaches the target year of 2015, there are still some challenges in reaching the child mortality, maternal health, and environmental sustainability targets.

UNDP

Enjoy Accra was invited to the validation session of the consultative programme and we bring you in this report the views and thoughts of some stakeholders on the World They Want Post 2015.

Alain Gbeasor (AG): Hello Ruby, as UN Resident Coordinator in Ghana how does the picture look for Ghana with regards to the attainment of the MDGs?

Ruby Sandhu-Rojon (RSR): The UN system applauds Ghana for its achievement on the MDGs and in particular for the progress achieved on MDG 1 in reducing poverty, MDG 2 on primary education as well as MDG 6 in reducing the HIV/AIDS prevalence. However, there is still a lot more work to be done especially on maternal mortality, infant mortality and sanitation.

AG: Why this global consultative programme now?

RSR: There has been a wide debate as to what developmental goals the global community should set next as we approach the 2015 target date. The UN Secretary-General (UNSG), Ban Ki-moon has therefore

appointed a high-level panel to advise on the global development agenda beyond 2015. The panel will draw on information gathered from the consultative process to deliver a report to the 2013 September General Assembly.

AG: What is the essence of the current consultative meetings being held across the country and globally?

RSR: The worldwide consultative program in effect is a way of directly involving the people of the world in the formulation of a future development agenda. April 5th 2013 marks the 1000 days countdown to the 2015 targets set to achieve all MDGs. In support of this process, the United Nations Development Group is therefore leading efforts to catalyze a global discourse on the post-2015 agenda through a series of global thematic consultations and more than 50 national consultations. Many of the issues raised in Ghana, concerning sanitation, inequality, gender issues and education will be useful inputs into the national development agenda for the country and hence the active

collaboration and participation of the National Development Planning Commission.

AG: So what world would Ruby want post 2015?

RSR: On the World I want Post 2015, I will want a World where it is not an offence for young girls to have an ambition; one in which they are treated equally in all spheres. A world where many more women are involved and participate actively in governance; where there is Security and access to Quality Health Care for all.

“Although Ghana is said to be making tremendous progress in some of the

MDGs as the country approaches the target year of 2015, there are still some challenges in reaching the child mortality, maternal

health, and environmental sustainability targets .”

Nana Ekua Awotwi Africa 2000 Network (NGO) Accra

In my World Post 2015, I want to see Ghana able to achieve the targets set for the MDGs and go on to add some more aimed at improving the inequalities currently observed during the consultation process.

There is the need to get more people especially the youth, involved in sensitizing the populace on the MDGs. There is a need for people to know that the MDGs are a responsibility for all and not government alone. We all have a role to play in improved sanitation, education, maternal healthcare among others.

Dr. Malcolm Ebenezer Distance Learning Lecturer, University Of Professional Studies-Accra

There are three things I want to see in the World Post 2015: Equal internet accessibility for all Ghanaians, especially children from both rural and urban schools, to enable them gain a wider access to the large stock of knowledge available online. Affordable internet: Internet use and bandwidth is currently quite expensive and if we want to get more people educated online in an Open University kind of system, we need to make it almost free. Set up E-rates and develop the necessary infrastructure. The E-rate is a system where government together with the TELCOs can set up specific tariffs for internet use in relation to educational purposes.

THE GHANA DISCOURSE

Dr. Isaac Frimpong Mensa- Bonsu Director, Plan Coordination, (NDPC)

In my World Post 2015, I would like to see a development agenda centred on people; our developmental agenda should be such that people should not go hungry, beg or sleep on the street. I want to see a people empowered economically, socially, educated and living in an environmentally safer setting.

The role of the NDPC is therefore to achieve this vision and design a developmental framework to put Ghana on the map as the most evolved country in Africa. To achieve this we need political support and goodwill.

There is also the need to emphasize the setting up of proper implementation, monitoring and evaluation procedures.

Dr. Isaac Frimpong Mensa-Bonsu Director, Plan Coordination NDPC

“I want to see a people empowered economically, socially, educated and living in an environmentally safer setting.”


Dr Lamourdia ThiombianoFAO Country Representative Ghana

I would love to see a world at peace with itself, secured with equal respect for all cultures and genders.

A world where agriculture is increasingly becoming an engine for growth, reduced poverty and youth unemployment. I can’t stress enough the need to emphasize the importance of agriculture in wealth and job creation.

Dr Lamourdia Thiombiano FAO Country Representative Ghana

UNDP

Pa Lamin Beyai Economic Advisor UNDP, Accra

Working on these consultative meetings granted me an opportunity to learn and see firsthand what the people want. It was vital to hear communities communicate their wishes for their world post 2015 and get information on what the MDGs were and to hear about how to improve them.

The reports on the nationwide consultations since they are country specific information will be given to Government as inputs into the national agenda as these are the wishes of the country.

With the consultation, one sees a desire for increased employment, better sanitation, heath, quality education and good governance.

I would like to see a reduction in the inequalities observed in some of the current MDG targets.

Akweley Mantey 2nd Runner Up Ghana Most Beautiful Contest MDG Youth Ambassador

It is worthy to note that Ghana has achieved some great feats in the MDGs but we still have a long way to go since these are targets that must be met and constantly improved upon. In my world post 2015 I would like to see a world with increased sanitation, reduced rates of maternal and child mortality, increases in school enrolment numbers and Affordable Education.

Osisiadan Obrempong OxfordYouth and Social Media Activist

The World I want Post 2015, is one where education is a priority for all; where there is an increase in information technology and the use of internet in Ghana such that many more people will gain access to information which they ordinarily will not have been privy to. As a young person I know with education and internet we can greatly reduce unemployment and streetism and that is the World I want to see Post 2015.

Bour Judith Seamstress and a JSS Leaver

As a seamstress and a school dropout who could not further my education due to the lack of funds, I would want to see a world where education is more affordable for all at all levels.

I would also want to see a situation where government will set up a Youth Educational and Vocational Fund to help those interested in learning a trade or vocation to start their own business as well as to get easy access to funding.

Most of the Youth idle about not because they enjoy it, but because they don’t have funds to start something on their own.

Bour Judith Seamstress

Martha Tia-Adjei Environmental OfficerNorthern Region

For Post 2015, I would love to see a world which is more environmentally friendly, with safer environs and cleaner water bodies for our younger generation. If we fail to achieve these, many more children will keep on falling sick and many more under five year olds will die due to an unclean environment.

We also need to engage ourselves in generating energy and improving the economy through waste-to-energy projects and I pray our World Post 2015 is not one of “business as usual”.

Martha Tia-Adjei Environmental Officer

Makinam Francis Snuk Farmer, Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District

As a farmer, I want to see a world where farming will become easier due to increased mechanization as well as decreased cost of fertilizers and other inputs. I don’t doubt that we will get there considering government support for enhancement of farming and farmers livelihood.I would also like to see more support for education, especially in the North, currently quality education has become very expensive. We want more infrastructure, books and more access to quality in the public schools in the North so that our children can also compete with their counterparts in Accra and private schools.

IKEBANA DEMONSTRATIONJapanese Art of Flower Arranging

he Japanese Embassy held an Ikebana demonstration lecture at the Best Western Premier Hotel in Accra. Ikebana has an important place in Japanese culture and it means more than putting

flowers together to make them beautiful.

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Contrary to the idea of floral arrangement as a collection of part coloured or multi-coloured blooms, Ikebana often emphasizes other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and draws emphasis from the shape, line and form. Though ikebana is a creative expression, it has rules governing its form. The artist’s intention is shown through a piece’s colour combinations, natural shapes and graceful lines.

Our modern, complex and busy lifestyle can take away from us the pleasure of relishing nature and enjoying its beauty. The art of flower arrangement is an opportunity to appreciate nature in a special way through some of nature’s beautiful and precious gifts, flowers and plants. As we learn to appreciate nature through Ikebana we will be inspired to protect, preserve and conserve the nature around us.

Mr Joichi Teshigahara, Master of the Teshigahara Ikebana School and Ms Maki Takatsu, Instructor of

the Teshigahara Ikebana School who were visiting Ghana for the first time took the gathering through this ancient Japanese art.

The Japanese Ambassador, HE Naoto Nikai applauded this event and expressed his hope that this demonstration would help to deepen the cultural understanding between Ghana and Japan.

There’s no one as devoted as my mother.

Her presence and love have always been there,Everything in her nature is to only care.

With every soft hug and kissThe world seems more beautiful and blessed.

I’m sorry for all the times I caused you pain,But after these brief storms my love still remains.

I love you so much,I will love you forever.

t was a weekend like any other and as early as 5am in the morning, we set off to Ada to catch some fish. Quickly we

left the worries and stress of Accra behind and before we knew it we were at the sailing club where we got ready for our journey, an expedition to catch the famous blue marlins that the coast of Ghana is now very common for.

Marlin fishing is considered by some game fishermen to be the pinnacle of deep-sea game fishing, due to the size and power of marlin and the relative rarity of this species. In the past it required considerable skill to capture and kill marlin. These days it is made much easier by modern technology.

A lot of resources are committed to the activity, particularly in the construction of private and charter bill fishing boats to participate in this rather uncommon sport. These are expensive purpose-built offshore vessels with powerfully driven deep sea hulls. Our charter boat, was built to the latest luxury standards and equipped with many technologies to ease our lives as amateur deep sea recreational fishermen, it had outriggers, flying bridges and fighting chairs, and state of the art electronic aids, such as fish finders and navigation electronics.

My DeepSea Fishing Experiencein ghaNa

One had to be bundled into a special seat on board the boat for the battle with the blue Marlin. The Blue marlin have become possibly the most sought-after marlin species. Capable of spectacular fighting ability and having the potential to reach great sizes, blue marlin have inspired and continue to inspire the dedicated pursuit of thousands of skippers, crews and anglers.

May you look for things to praise, often say, “I love you!” and take no notice of small faults. If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope

to have good sense enough to take the first step back.

May you enter into the mystery which is the awarenessof one another’s presence - no more physical than spiritual,

warm and near when you are side-by-side, and warm and near

when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.

May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.

Aries 21/3-20/04 Taurus 21/4-21/05 Gemini 22/5-21/06

You hold a lot of power this month, dear Aries, for making important changes and for beginning new endeavors. This is particularly the case around and after the New Moon on the 10th. Not only does it occur in your sign, it’s aligned with Venus and Mars, adding creative and attractive sizzle to your life and emphasizing these things in your personality. You are magnetic and more noticeable than usual. People are attracted to your lively spirit. You are forward and straightforward when it comes to love, and you are a priority or headline in a partner’s and love interest’s life. The 20-30 can be a little rocky for intimacy and money matters, as circumstances occurring now force you to take a hard look at either life department, and for some, both areas of life. In the second half of the month, others may have some wise advice for you, and while it might not feel comfortable, it would be a good idea to look at the more practical side. Security and stability become bigger needs. A Lunar Eclipse in the last week of the month brings unpaid debts and power dynamics to a head.

After a period of living in the relative backwoods, dear Taurus, you are ready to share yourself with a bigger audience once cosmic bodies begin entering your sign, one by one. Venus, the Sun, and Mars all enter Taurus on the 15th, 19th, and 20th respectively, and you emerge from a period of withdrawal and emotional renewal. Until then, much is going on behind the scenes. You keep your emotional distance and a low profile. Major decision making may be deferred until you feel more confident later in the month. Desires are complex and either difficult to fulfill or you could struggle with whether you should go after them. Private and past matters tend to assume larger importance in your life, particularly around the 10th. From the 20th, you’re more assertive and opportunities that emerge are clearer and more straightforward. Personal magnetism skyrockets now. For single Taureans, romantic opportunities abound. Nevertheless, some relationship hurdles can figure strongly on the 20-22 and then the 28-30 in more serious partnerships.

April is likely to be a busy and notable month when it comes to networking and friendships, dear Gemini, although the last ten days of the month can bring an entirely different and more reclusive pace. There can be romantic opportunities or attention through networking, friendships, or group affiliations from the 5-18. Others are supporting your efforts. You can have many ideas that you’re birthing now, and they can be truly creative and unique. Think in terms of the team or group, as this is where opportunities lie right now. The 20-22, besides the slowing down of your social life, can bring some challenges regarding dealing with matters from the past. It’s time to bring some closure to those things that have run their natural course or that are part of your past for good reason. Health or work matters can reach a challenging point in the last week of April. You may have recently been lost in a routine that feels monotonous, and this could take its toll on your spirit and health. Circumstances, possibly involving the loss of a particular support system or the onset of a minor health problem, are such that might force you to make needed changes.

This Month Taurus


Fun energy is with you in the first few weeks of April when it comes to close relationships, dear Libra. As long as you remain flexible to changes of plans and open to taking a few emotional risks, this can be a time of sudden attractions, enhanced relationships, and new beginnings. The New Moon on the 10th is a powerful one, putting close committed relationships into sharp focus. Your personal magnetism is strong and others are more willing and able to spend quality time with you. Some of you could begin a new long-term relationship, and it might seem to come out of nowhere. Even so, watch that you don’t see what you want to see in others, rather than what is. As well, family responsibilities or possibly disapproval can interfere with your relationships.

The details are more important this month than the big picture, dear Scorpio, as you have considerable energy and support for shaping up your daily routines, and these include work and health efforts. Super-motivated and energetic, you can get a whole lot done. You are bringing innovative, unique, and creative energy to your daily life, and while you can’t quite say that you’re getting everything in order, as you have a rather slapdash on-off approach right now, you’re certainly shaking things up. You are sure to find ways to make daily life, more pleasurable, interesting, and creative. Alternative therapies and approaches to health and fitness can present themselves and inspire you. Some of you will find love opportunities while going about your daily routines - through work or the pursuit of health goals, for example. Later in April, you move into a relationship-focused period.

This is one of the biggest months of the year for romantic and creative opportunities, dear Sagittarius. There is plenty of activity in your sector of romance, recreation, self-expression, hobbies, and children in April, and the New Moon on the 10th is an especially powerful one for all of these matters. Your powers of attraction are tremendous right now, and your more playful, unique, and entertaining qualities are truly appreciated, and possibly even applauded. This is a flirtatious, impulsive time for you. It’s also a fabulous time for expressing whatever it is that is your art. Creativity is blossoming, and you are likely to have a receptive audience. You could pick up a new hobby or revive an old one. As the month progresses, your attention begins to shift towards more practical matters. You’ll be concentrating on the details and daily routines of your life, and aiming to change up things in these areas.

Libra 24/9-23/10 Capricorn 22/12-20/01Cancer 22/6-23/07

This is a month of more visibility than usual, dear Cancer, as well as more creative and professional power. Creative and possibly even romantic opportunities can arise through business affairs in April. You are more interested in the long term when it comes to love, although towards the end of the month, friendship and camaraderie assume more importance. You may get the chance to show your unique qualities, and you’re certainly more courageous than usual when it comes to both expressing and asserting yourself. Rebellious behaviors may be tempting now when it comes to fathers or father figures and authority figures in your life. You might see a friend or an old acquaintance in a more romantic light later this month.

The competitive side of your nature comes to the fore in April, dear Leo, but in an entirely pleasant and likely playful way. You are more enthusiastic than you have been, and your confidence in yourself is natural and easy. Your interest in the world beyond your usual boundaries expands, and some of you could have opportunities to travel or study somewhere/something new. Love may be especially adventurous or exotic, and some of you could have a faraway romance opportunity. Your tastes and attractions are as non-routine as your interests these days. Benefits can come, and possibly quite suddenly, through your connection to classmates, distant relatives, or teachers. Publishing and promotional activities can thrive now. The pace of your life changes rather dramatically by the fourth week of April, when responsibilities to family and to your career or business call.

The first few weeks of April are strong for hobbies, work, and self-improvement endeavors, dear Virgo. New projects launched now can be especially unique and creative. Most importantly, they fuel your passions. Whatever your obsession now, it’s consuming. You might be heavily involved in research and development, as you’re not quite ready to share your projects with others. For some of you, however, this is a passionate time on an intimate level. You are discovering new means of expression, and attractions can pop up without warning. If you’re craving deep connections with others, it may not be the easiest of times, but if you’re looking for excitement, then you’re likely to be pleasantly surprised. Sudden financial findings can spur you into action, particularly around the 10th and 17th. There can be some drama with debts or support now. It’s time to take charge.

Aquarius 21/01-19/02

Pisces 20/02-20/03

Sagittarius 23/11-21/12

Scorpio 24/10-22/11

Virgo 24/8-23/09

Leo 24/7-23/08

This is a time of great discoveries and much activity on the home front, dear Capricorn. You’re in a nesting phase, although you are unlikely to be idle around the home. In fact, there may be changes with family or in the home, whether or not you bring them on. This is an excellent time for entertaining in the home and also for making creative changes, such as redecorating. Adjustments need to made, and for some of you, family and home life are unsettled for the time being. Venus, the Sun, and Mars move into your romance and creative sector on the 15th, 19th, and 20th, respectively, and this brings a shift of interest and attitude. You’re entering a very expressive and exciting period for romance, recreation, and hobbies. You’ll be attracting a lot of attention for your more unique qualities. Nevertheless there are some hurdles to clear. The last week of April can bring some social or romantic drama into your life.

In April, you are sure to wow others with your words, ideas, and knowledge, dear Aquarius. Love and communication are tied together in wonderful ways, and this can mean you meet a love interest through an online or phone connection, for example. or it might even point to an exciting new interest or project. Love may be found in your own neighborhood, through siblings’ connections, or through learning endeavors. This is probably the best time of the year for speaking engagements, communication project launches, or simply presentation and sharing of your ideas. You can find yourself in high demand, as you are currently the go-to person for advice or simply for good company. The Lunar Eclipse in the last week of the month can bring some harsh criticism or some other form of unpleasant scrutiny, but whatever does occur now pushes you in the direction towards making important changes. Balancing family and career, or your personal and public lives, can be the challenge now.

As long as you don’t succumb to tension, April can be a pleasant month in which you make new contacts and learn a great deal about the people in your life, dear Pisces. Beware of impulse buys this month. Although you possess considerable energy to make money, you are similarly inclined to spend it! Financial activity, including pressures or concerns, can be the focus for the first three weeks of the month. Imaginative undertakings could boost your income in April. Shake things up, experiment with new ideas, and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. More involvement with your immediate environment, community, and neighborhood figure strongly from mid-month forward. Communications are strong, and love may even come through them, or through learning environments.

pring is the time for all things new. Ghana Contemporary showcased new fresh works from some of Ghana’s favourite painters in an exhibition at La Villa Boutique Hotel in Accra last month.

At a star studded soiree guests were greeted by luxury cars at the entrance, courtesy of Eurostar Global Limousine Ltd, and then escorted up to the wine terrace to mingle under the stars and admire some 30+ artworks over a glass of champagne.

The event was about bringing art to the people and was held outside, away from the ‘traditional’ gallery space.

One of the most talked about artists of the night was Nyornuwofia Agorsor. This Lagos born Ghanaian with a Beninoise mother is a truly multi talented person. An artist unlike any other. Nyornuwofia was born

Her paintings can somewhat be characterized by a childlike innocence on the surface yet with closer study display a thoughtful seriousness. Nyornuwofia’s friendly, almost jovial canvases readily disperse their poignant messages without the dizzying pretentious trappings of the adult world.

Ghana Contemporary caught up with Nyornuwofia in the aftermath of Kaleidoscope to find out more about this wonderful person.

ENJOY

Leeni: You are not only of the most talented and exciting contemporary artists in Ghana, but also a mother, teacher to your children, musician and a traditional priestess. Which of these roles is most important to you?

Nyornuwofia: For all the roles that you have given to me I wouldn’t say one is stronger than other, they all go hand in hand. Music is art, in painting art, even the art of being a mother, taking care of your children, husband and being a wife is also a form of art, so they are all the same and a part of the same circle. I am there stretching out to all I can.

Leeni: What is the thriving force for you to be an artist and create?

Nyornuwofia: I am being inspired by the society, every day life around me, what I see, when I sit down here talking to you is all what inspires me and what makes me always return to the canvas.

Leeni: You are the wife of Kofi Gamamiwosror Agorsor, one of the best and most loved artists in Ghana. Your work is very different to his but how would you say he has influenced you and what is it like to work side by side with a master artist and your husband?

Nyornuwofia: We are actually just two workaholics being crazy![laughter]. Agorsor has his own style. Even though we work side by side, the only influence of him to me is that he works a lot and I do too so I am influenced by his energy to work hard - it just flows and its fun!

Leeni: The message of your work is the importance of education. Can you elaborate on this and tell us why we repeatedly see a blackboard in your works?

Nyornuwofia: If we look around everything is based on education and that does not necessarily mean going to sit in a classroom and learning maths. I am concerned about education of kids because they are absent minded and they don’t know who they are and education is the ONLY tool that a parent can give to the child that can drive their future. This is why I paint the blackboard. Even as an adult when you see the blackboard you immediately get shifted back to your class room days, so you can sense the fun moments of learning. I repeat the blackboard because it gives harmony, peace, understanding and positive energy.

Leeni: One of my favourite works of yours is called ‘Professorship’ [see picture]. Can you tell me about this work?

Nyornuwofia: In my dialect that is Ewe, professors are known as ‘Hubnor’, these people are priests, mathematicians, philosophers and historians. They are very important people in this African Knowledge System. Anything you want to know

based on the knowledge system of a particular country is in their hands. The work ‘Professorship’ was inspired by the Hubnor’s.

Leeni: Recently at Ghana Contemporary’s ‘Kaleidoscope’ exhibition you were the only female artist amongst 7 male artists. You were amongst the best selling and your works were mainly bought and admired by women. What are your thoughts about being a female artist?

Nyornuwofia: There are female artists in Ghana but most come out of school and they are unable to pursue their art due to family issues. I wish that in every relationship there was team work and the necessary support for whatever you are doing, but particularly in the case of an artist so that women can be encouraged to work and paint. The women should also not give up too easily, if there is a problem or lack of support they could express this and paint it on the canvas and help other females.

Leeni: An avid arts supporter and a spokesperson for woman’s issues, the former first lady Mrs Nana Rawlings says, when women are

empowered a whole community is empowered. What would your thoughts on this?

Nyornuwofia: I share the same view as Nana, because women if empowered, as she said, can help the community, if not the world, women spiritually are most powerful creatures. It just happens that physically they are weaker.

Leeni: Your artistic career is on the up with international exhibitions and requests for your work from abroad. Ghana Contemporary definitely forecasts a great future and lots of potential for Nyornywofia. What is in the pipeline in the near future?

Nyornuwofia: Right now I am working on a series of heads and faces, and I am enjoying it so much! For what I expect the future to be there is only one thing – growth. In what ever I do there should be absolute growth.

Leeni: If you could exhibit anywhere in the world or alongside any artist where would that be?

Nyornuwofia: I don’t know but it should be in an African country. Because in the Western World they are blessed with art but in Africa

it’s limited, so if I could get to show my works in African countries and spread my message this would help. This is my dream.
