Change has come!

Good morning and welcome back on radio Ghana.
After...wow, a month long break we are back on air.

Highlight of the day: Obama is in town!
It's been two intense weeks of re-painting the edges of the sidewalks white and plastering the city with massive ads like the ones you see above. And now, we are finally ready to welcome change and discuss with him about the oil that will start flowing from 2010.

Obama's arrival created a good deal of confusion, yesterday at the ministry someone circulated the voice that all the roads would be blocked from 1 pm onwards. Clearly not true but a great excuse for everyone to rush home. Roads were effectively blocked later on for a few hours, but nothig of the apocaliptic scenario people immagined.

As I am writining I hear the helicopter taking off (I immagine) to bring the presidential family to visit Cape Coast castle.

Stay tuned for funny events during Obama's stay, for all the rest there is the bbc.

P.S. Cami may cross paths with Obama in the airport tonight as she is landing around the same time he is leaving...
