Joseph Ash*tey Hammond Foundation is to honour the legacy of Ex-WO1 Joseph Ash*tey Hammond, a Second World War Veteran through Peacebuilding, Education and Social developments.

It was an emotional and joyful moment for me to join Pete Edochie at the launch of his book at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.

As a publisher and author myself, I understand the importance of documenting our journeys. Two years ago, I published my memoir, capturing my experiences from the Burma Campaign during the Second World War through Ghana’s post-independence development.

From serving in Burma, to becoming the first Stores Manager of the Ambassador Hotel in 1956 and contributing to projects including El-Wak Sports Stadium, Southern Command, dams and roads, my life has been a journey through Ghana’s history.

I am proud to support Pete Edochie Legacy Project. I pray for him to be blessed with many more years in good health to see this important work reach generations to come. I also pray for everyone supporting this journey, including the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Joseph Ash*tey Hammond Foundation. May God bless you all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR — TESHIE

As Teshie brings the Homowo Festival to a close, we give thanks to Almighty God and our ancestors for a peaceful and successful celebration.

For us as Ga people, the New Year begins in September. As we enter this new year, we do so with prayers for peace, prosperity, good health and an abundant harvest in all our endeavours.

I sincerely thank Naa Ashorkor Mensah-Doku and GTV Ghana for helping to promote the Teshie Homowo Festival, and the Honourable Minister of Tourism for recognising the importance of our festival and supporting the call for Teshie to be included in the Ghana Tourism Events Calendar.

I also extend my sincere gratitude to the Ga Mantse, His Majesty Nii Teiko Tsuru II OFFICE OF THE GA MANTSE, the President of the Republic The Ghana Presidency, Richard Nii-Armah Quaye our traditional leaders, sponsors, organisers and every individual who contributed to making this year's celebration peaceful, successful and memorable.

As we begin preparations towards Teshie Homowo 2027, I invite corporate organisations, government institutions, sponsors, cultural groups, tourism partners and friends of Ghana, both at home and across the world, to join us in building a celebration that is bigger, more entertaining, better organised and internationally recognised.

Together, we can position Teshie Homowo as one of Ghana's great cultural and tourism experiences—celebrating our history, preserving our heritage, creating opportunities for our people and welcoming the world to Teshie.

May peace continue to reign in Teshie.
May our land yield abundance.
May our families prosper.
May our children inherit a stronger and more prosperous Teshie.

And may Teshie continue to shine as one of the finest and most culturally vibrant communities in Accra and Ghana.

Afi oo Afi!
Happy New Year!

My Republic Day message. 1st July, 2026

01/07/2026

Today, on Republic Day, I am reminded of a cherished memory from 1960, when I had the honour of receiving the Republic Medal from the late President Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

I thank President John Dramani Mahama for preserving this day as an opportunity for us to seek God's blessings for our beloved nation. My sincere appreciation also goes to Hon. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah for championing this noble cause.

If you are yet to read the story of my service during the Second World War, I warmly invite you to get copy of my book.

For 41 years, the Teshie Stool has remained vacant, as publicly acknowledged by the Dodowa Regional House of Chiefs. In the interest of peace, transparency, and proper traditional governance, I respectfully call on President Mahama John Dramani Mahama and the relevant authorities to review the legal and customary basis of the Teshie Traditional Council. The people of Teshie deserve clarity, unity, and stability.

I thank God for my life as I celebrate my 101st birthday today, on this special Mother’s Day. My heartfelt gratitude goes to my beloved mother, Naa Adole Mingle, whose love, strength, and guidance shaped the man I became.

At 101, I remain grateful to God, to my family, to the people of Teshie, and to all who continue to celebrate this journey with me. I am humbled to serve as the Dzasetse of the Teshie Traditional Area, preserving the values, history, and dignity of our people for generations to come.

As one of the surviving African veterans of the Second World War, I would be honored for you to own a copy of my story — a journey through the war in the Far East, sacrifice, courage, and the emergence of Africa’s independence. May the younger generation continue to learn from our history and preserve the spirit of resilience and unity.

Happy Birthday and Happy Mother’s Day to us all. May God bless our mothers, our veterans, and our homeland Ghana.
