Accra /əˈkrɑː/ is the capital and largest city of Ghana, with an estimated urban population of 2.27 million as of 2012. It is also the capital of the Greater Accra Region and of the Accra Metropolitan District, with which it is coterminous. Accra is furthermore the anchor of a larger metropolitan area, the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), which is inhabited by about 4 million people, making it the second-largest metropolitan conglomeration in Ghana by population, and the eleventh-largest metropolitan area in Africa.
Accra stretches along the Ghanaian Atlantic coast and extends north into Ghana's interior. Originally built around a port, it served as the capital of the British Gold Coast between 1877 and 1957. Once merely a 19th-century suburb of Victoriaborg, Accra has since transitioned into a modern metropolis; the city's architecture reflects this history, ranging from 19th-century architecture buildings to modern skyscrapers and apartment blocks.
Accra serves as the Greater Accra region's economic and administrative hub. It is furthermore a centre of a wide range of nightclubs, restaurants, and hotels. Since the early 1990s, a number of new buildings have been built, including the multi-storey French-owned Novotel hotel. The city's National Theatre was built with Chinese assistance. In 2010, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network designated Accra a Gamma-minus-level world city, indicating a growing level of international influence and connectedness.

Ghana (i/ˈɡɑːnə/), officially called the Republic of Ghana, is a sovereign unitary presidential constitutional democracy, located along the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean, in the subregion of West Africa. Spanning a land mass of 238,535 km2, Ghana is bordered by the Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, Togo in the east and the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean in the south. The word Ghana means "Warrior King" in Mande.
The territory of present-day Ghana has been inhabited for millennia, with the first permanent state dating back to the 11th century. Numerous kingdoms and empires emerged over the centuries, of which the most powerful was the Kingdom of Ashanti. Beginning in the 15th century, numerous European powers contested the area for trading rights, with the British ultimately establishing control of the coast by the late 19th century. Following over a century of native resistance, Ghana's current borders were established by the 1900s as the British Gold Coast. In 1957, it became the first sub-saharan African nation to declare independence from European colonisation.

http://www.expressoshow.com/ Graeme heads to the iconic Kaneshie Market in Accra/Ghana, to give us his survival guide for an African market. We cover various shopping tips as he explores this bustling environment. Firstly, know what you’re after and when the best time is to get it. Haggle on the price (when this is an accepted custom of the region), know your currency and value of the exchange rate. Be aware of your personal belongings, and remember your bearings (as not to get lost when you’ve finished shopping).

Accra Ghana Crusade day 1 evening, 18th January 2016
Prophet Brian Carn - Call To Prayer- Accra, Ghana (7/8/2016)
Well, Tommy stepped away
From the world for awhile
He only left a picture
Of a seventh grade smile
Well, he got caught in between
A mother's lost hope
And a father's lost dream
A head of ideas
That don't mean anything
That don't mean anything
Well, Tommy had a problem
With being alone
He spent everyday
Of his life on his own
But there's no one to blame
It's hard to keep friends
When you keep moving away
The cards and letters
They don't mean anything
They don't mean anything
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home to me
Tommy stepped away
From the world for awhile
His first few steps
It felt like a mile
They never could believe
He said good-bye
And they just watched him leave
All the things he knew
Don't mean anything
They don't mean anything
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home to me
And if you go too far
You might never come back
And I might go too far
But I won't ever some back
And when you go, I'll wait for you
And when you go, I'll be there too
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
