Hello everyone! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing this amazing, talented, creative and brilliant Ghanaian man (Richard Coleman), It is very obvious that Richard knows his onions and is well on track in a very positive momentum. I actually felt inspired by his words. But before I share with you what Richard said in his interviews; let me share with you what Bob Marley’s wife said (the reason I am sharing Bob Marley’s wife statement is that it is connected to what Richard said too).
Bob Marley’s wife made a comment about Nigeria on why she chose to stay in Ghana instead of Nigeria and she said that Nigeria is like New York and that in Ghana things are in gradual process. Similarly, this amazing Ghanaian man made that comment too. Thank you Richard for letting me have this interview with you; I consider it an honor and a privilege.
