Even before Mrs Esi lost her husband, life has not been easy for this household even though her husband was a teacher in Living Academy Preparatory School. Johnny was a handsome and a respectful boy who took exactly after his father’s good moral. His parents were very particular about his moral upbringing and his growth academically.

Before the advancement of technology and the media, being able to transmit information from one person to another was a hectic task, and many share stories of how their great grandparents had to walk many miles to do so. The challenges faced by humans day in and day out always necessitate solutions because when these challenges get solved, life becomes better.  Radio is one device I developed so much love for when I was very young and I will be sharing a lot more of my experiences with radio which will excite you and be of significant benefit to you. Historians from Ghana share their experiences when radio became the only means of information access after many years of none because at that time technology hadn't advanced.
