Plagiarism is common on the Internet but I maintain integrity on my web in that all the pages were written from experience.

For the Attractions Pages I physically visited and wrote the articles. In the case of Kwame Nkrumah I even took time to obtain a copy of his autobiography.

However as an Oburoni I can not travel everywhere in Ghana so I decided to let other people write genuine and authoritative texts. Actually I realize that there are talented writers out there who need a break. Some of Ghana blogs are here: http://www.accra-guesthouse.com/blog

One way to get jobs is to register with Linkedin.com and then quote links to work you have done
