Members of the Ghana Journalists Association- GIJ chapter on saturday April 26, 2010 undertook a trip to Nzulenzu- the village on the silt. The trip which was a collaborative effort between the GJA, Osagyefo Halll and Mandela Hall was aimed at exposing student journalists to the enormous tourist sites in the country. Some students who spoke to gjagij.com expressed their amazement at the denizens of Nzulenzu and generally described the trip as not only educative but adventurous as well. The educatees upon their arrival at the bank of the river, boarded small canoes which commuted them to the Nzulenzu village. At Nzulenzu, students were welcomed and introduced to the Prince of the town who took them around to purview the beautiful sites. Few hours later students were briefed on the history of the town and how the indigenes settled on the silt some years ago. According to the prince of the town, their ancestors took root at Nzulenzu after a failed war in Mali. After almost three to four hours on the silt, the students returned to beyin where they had a little fun before journeying back to Accra. As if the fun at Nzulenzu was not enough, en route Accra the bus made stop overs at sekondi-takoradi and cape coast for some 'shopping spree'. A variety of foodstuffs like; 'fante dokonu, nkyenam, etew and nam' were purchased at the various stop overs. The school bus finally arrived on campus few minutes to 9pm sunday evening after which the students departed to their respected homes. The chairman of the planning committee of 'the tour of the year' Mr. Umaru Sanda Amadu described the trip as a successful one thanked all and sundry for participating.
JOIN THE FUN THIS SATURDAY AS GJA IN COLLABORATION WITH OSAGYEFO AND MANDELA HALLS SHAKE THE ROOTS OF NZULEZU AND NKROFUL ON GIJ'S BEST EVER BOAT TRIP TOWERING THE NZULEZU VILLAGE...

This is Umaru Fofana, president of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists(SLAJ) and BBC correspondent in the country in a pose with my humble self, Umaru Sanda president of the Ghana Journalists Association Students' chapter.
Though the only opportunity I get to hear of Mr. Fofana’s reports is via the BBC, I still think he is worth looking up to as an up-coming journalist. This photograph was taken here at the Airport View Hotel in Accra on the 25th of December, 2009 when Fofana came to Ghana en route to Mali for a Journalism Conference. I am honoured to be his friend. Salutations Brother!

THE MEDIA TICKING CLOCK REGISTERS THE NUMBER OF JOURNALISTS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY AND IS UPDATED MONTHLY - LIST OF VICTIMS BELOW
50 journalists killed in 2009 - 91 in 2008 - 115 in 2007 - 96 in 2006
NOTE: The PEC includes in its statistics work-related deaths among journalists, correspondents, freelances, cameramen, sound recordists, technicians, photographers, producers, administrators, cyber-reporters. The figures do not register casualties among other media employees like drivers, guards, security staff and translators. Sources are PEC members, news agencies, national press associations, IFEX, IFJ, RSF, CPJ, UNESCO (at least two sources). The MEDIA TICKING CLOCK is updated on a daily basis since the first session of the UN Human Rights Council June 2006.
We differentiate casualties between four categories: (T) for journalists intentionally targeted, (A) for journalists killed accidentally, i.e. in a terrorist blast or in fightings - private circumstances and road accidents are excluded - (C) for criminal causes (i.e. killed by drug traffickers) and (O) for other or unknown causes.The category changes when there are new findings.
