some great men and women who have made the country proud around the world.

have naturalized for other countries but that does not make them less
of Ghanaians because their roots can be traced back here, so without
further ado, here are 2o Ghanaians doing great around the World.

companies did not really see the need for a software but he sat in his
room and created softwares for companies. He is the founder of SOFTribe
