The first broadcast was initiated by the Governor and was part of commonwealth strategy to “celebrate British culture”. 🌍🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana

 

In 1958, tables turned when Ghana set up a commission into "an external service for Radio Ghana". 🌍🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana https://t.co/mGoN4fPlMF

  2. Daniel Yaw Fiaveh on what it means to have a penis in Ghana in his paper “Hegemonic Penile Discourses and Continuities…” 🌍🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana
  3. “Phallic competence” is important in constructing masculinity in Ghana, argues Fiaveh, but what that exactly mean in Ghana? 🌍🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana
  4. I have no idea how to theorize the fact that men do not open up to talk about issues of phallic competence, says Fiaveh. 🌍🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana
