I am a rare but growing breed. My kind<\/span> has been increasing in the Ghanaian demographic for some years but<\/span> I anticipate rapidly increasing numbers in the decades to come. We are an interesting breed, with lots to offer and contribute to the development of Ghana. Some might look upon us with suspicion but<\/span> most of us just want to be of value to Ghana. What am I? I am a Reverse Borga.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you a little more about this Reverse Borga: Born and raised in Manchester to Ghanaian parents, I schooled in different cities across the UK (Manchester, Birmingham, London and Nottingham). I lectured Politics and International Relations at The University of Nottingham before deciding to move to Ghana. I\u2019ve been living in Accra permanently for about 4 years. Since I have moved to Ghana I have had various jobs (researcher, speech writer, recruitment agent) but now I have settled down as a lecturer at one of Ghana\u2019s finest tertiary institutions. Although emigrating from the UK to Ghana has its challenges, I can honestly say that I love it and embrace all the experiences (both good and bad).<\/p>\n

The first question people tend to ask me when they discover that I am a Reverse Borga is \u2018why?\u2019. My simple reply is \u2018why not?\u2019. The reason why a Reverse Borga like me<\/span> decided to move to Accra is because I love Ghana and I love Accra- it\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n

Ghana has so much to offer so why wouldn\u2019t I want to live here? Accra is a lively, vibrant city bursting with colour<\/span> and energy en par with many of the international cities revered by many Ghanaians. It was recently rated as the second best city to live in Africa (I dispute this- I think it is THE BEST). Yes Accra does have its fair share of social and poverty issues that need to be combated but I challenge you to name any city that is without any social problems.<\/p>\n

Living in Accra is certainly an experience in itself: from the bustling markets with the expressive market women and the street vendors hurriedly trying to sell their various goods to the corporate office workers dressed in fitted shirts and smart suits (in the sweltering heat!) Accra is a city full of character.<\/p>\n

Even though I was born and bred elsewhere I<\/span> have received a level of acceptance here that I have not experienced before. I feel a sense of belonging that endears me to stay and settle permanently. For me Accra is home, Ghana is my country and moving here was a decision that, in years to come, I shall look upon as one of the best decisions I ever made.
