by Akibu Abdulai

My name is Akibu Abdulai. I was born on the 8 June 1981 in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. All my like I have lived in Ghana. Ghana is a country that can be found on the west coast of Africa, and has a population of about 22 million people. I am tall, dark, and a nice looking guy. I weigh about 167 pounds. My favorite food is banku and okra stew. I am from a family of eight in which I am the third born of my parents. My favorite game is football even though I am not that good at it. Well, I pray that I would one day be someone respectable and beneficial to the society.
