“Of course it’s a great feeling to be here in Ghana. I’ve heard a much about the country and how nice its people are. So it’s a place I very much was interested in coming and I’m already enjoying my time here with this wonderful reception,” Bosh said amid a rapturous welcome led by a traditional dancing troupe.
