Did you know? The story behind…

The iconic photo

This image, with the writings akwaaba meaning “welcome” is one of the popular images we see around in our country or the diaspora. It hungs in offices, bars, eating joints, embassies, airports and other notable places to welcome visitors at a particular place.The aim of this iconic photo was to be taken and hunged in the hall of a young teenage girl in the year 1999,little did she know it was going to be hunged on billboards or huge walls in our local and international airports to receive visitors. Angelina Nana Akua Oduro, the personality in the “akwaaba” photo had her inspiration from a picture of a half naked lady she saw in beads pouring out palm wine on a wall of a drinking bar which her mother used to send her to.
