His antiquity is enormous - a master class perfectionist who dwells in the English language and its chemistry. Prof Atukwei Okai is no stranger to fluency - a world class English literature physician.
"He is one of God's greatest gifts to this generation…" Albert Ocran, CEO of Combert Impressions defines him.
He was the guest on Personality Profile on Drive Time on Joy 99.7 FM with Kwabena Anokye Adisi - Bola Ray Thursday and it was a night filled with poetry and knowledge.
Oh what a night it was: Unwind me Joy; Unwind me 99.7; Unwind me Super Hits Radio. - with a huge claim that, “we were rapping before rap came,” he jovially proclaimed.
Whiles he poured out his countless experiences and fond memories growing up, it was evident this selfless personality still has a strong belief in Ghana and Africa – a key part of his life’s mission.
“A big part of my life and mission has been for us to succeed in proving that we can make it as a people, we can make it in Ghana and Africa and that we have got what it takes, we have the people,” the Professor emphasized.
He declared that he has made it a point, “to try to gain so much in terms of what is necessary to build myself to be able to serve and to take pains to let this serve society and inspire people with the understanding that knowledge, expertise and talent are useless if they are not used to serve,” adding, one does not acquire all these and feel big than others.
Having spent most part of his early life in Gambaga in the Northern region, Prof. Atukwei, who is a Ga by birth, says he is always proud to declare himself a Northerner due in part to the fact the natives value and treasure their culture.
“When a people are proud of themselves and depend on themselves; the food, the architecture, their dress, everything from their wealth, they don’t wait to import things from outside, that is one thing that has given me great faith in grounding as a Ghanaian, as an African, the self reliance of the people of Northern Ghana. So I even always declare myself as a happy and proud northerner,” he noted.
