Meet Ambassador Evangelist George Kwabenah Appiah

Last night, while laying down in bed in the darkness, I caught myself (once again) drifting away into deep thoughts … about a whole lot of nothing. In my thoughts, I fired up Safari (yeah, it was Safari, not Firefox!) and googled (and yeah, “google” is now a verb!) this, that, and the other.

I tried them all: Wikipedia, Google, Ask, Live, Yahoo, Mahalo, Sphere, Riya, and many others. Not satisfied with the results from all those googlings, I knew I had to do something.

And something I did. When I got up this morning with the previous night’s thoughts still lingering on, I needed no soothsayer to tell me what to do: I decided to crown myself, Ghana’s Ambassador to the Internet.

Like any Ambassador, I’m the official diplomatic representative of the Ghana Government and the people of Ghana to the Internet. I’ll work my butts off (oops! that’s not a diplomatic expression!) to ensure a sound and cordial relationship between the two economies and their citizens.

In English, I’m here to bring to the world the best Ghana’s got to offer, and to Ghanaians, the best resources the Internet’s got to offer. As my diplomatic assignments permit, I’ll endeavor to answer your questions about Ghana, the Internet, and technology in general.

So keep your questions rolling in … Ambassador George will answer them!

Long live Ghana. Long live the Internet.
