Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Fifty years ago, the West African nation of Ghana — led by the charismatic Kwame Nkrumah — gained independence from Britain. It was a watershed moment that had a ripple effect across the continent and throughout the African diaspora. Kojo explores that history and looks at Ghana’s evolving role in African politics, economics and culture.
