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

Daniel Yaw Fiaveh on what it means to have a penis in Ghana in his paper “Hegemonic Penile Discourses and Continuities…”
🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana

“Phallic competence” is important in constructing masculinity in Ghana, argues Fiaveh, but what that exactly mean in Ghana?
🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana

I have no idea how to theorize the fact that men do not open up to talk about issues of phallic competence, says Fiaveh.
