22 күн бұрынAmerican Legend Stevie Wonder Conferred with Citizenship of Ghana | Firstpost Africa
Legendary American singer Stevie Wonder gets a much-awaited birthday gift. The Grammy winner has been granted citizenship of the West African nation of Ghana on his 74th birthday by Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo. He handed over a certificate to Wonder at the Presidential Palace in Accra. Wonder's love for the West African nation has never been a secret. He has openly expressed his desire to move to Ghana plenty of times, as he believes, his ancestral lineage could be traced there. Ghana has long prided itself as a bastion of Pan-Africanism. Its founding Leader Kwame Nkrumah called the West African state a "Black Mecca". Ghana was the first nation in the continent to give African descendants the right to stay. More than 300 Africans have been granted citizenship in Ghana since the country launched its "Year of Return" initiative in 2019.

Look Rawlings grants this to many African Americans. This paved way for many of them to established here in Ghana and ever since it has attracted many to follow. It’s good that uncle Stave too has join. The hype it’s too much, it’s becoming live diversion on the real challenges we are facing as a country
