Neighbours,<br />
We are back<br />
f r o m t h e<br />
holidays and ready to<br />
resume our storytelling to you,<br />
our readers. We hope you had a nice<br />
holiday season. As I write this note for this maiden<br />
edition in 2012, I recall what an anonymous author<br />
once said: give people more than they expect and<br />
do it cheerfully; memorise your favourite poem; don't<br />
believe all you hear; spend all you have or sleep all<br />
you want; when you say, “I love you”, mean it; believe<br />
in love at first sight.<br />
As we welcome you into another year, one of the<br />
cardinal goals of this wave making magazine has<br />
always been to fill a yawning gap. As you can see<br />
Neighbourhood Gong is growing in leaps and bound,<br />
I would like to express my appreciation for all the<br />
feedback and suggestions you provided. Ghana<br />
goes to the polls again this year to either retain or<br />
change administrations and as has been described<br />
by UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon,' it is a test case<br />
for Ghana'. We pray for peaceful elections and also a<br />
year of prosperity filled with favour and grace.<br />
In this issue our lenses left Accra to zoom in on the<br />
Central Regional Capital Cape Coast in Where Do<br />
You Live? segment. The ancient town is captivating<br />
with its ruins-like buildings and incredible touristic<br />
attraction also German Swiss School Bazar and<br />
'Familiar Strangers' Premiere. Our Sports section 'will<br />
Black stars Shine?' as AFCON commences John<br />
Paintsil assures Ghanaians. On fashion, Brigitte Merki-<br />
Ibrahim tells us point blank that designers are not<br />
seamstresses. Of course, this edition will be<br />
incomplete without the regulars; “Sex & Relationship”,<br />
“Health”, “Jokes” , “Security” and the Hood map<br />
among others.<br />
I express my heartfelt appreciation to every Staff,<br />
Writers and Crew of Neighbourhood Gong Magazine<br />
for your efforts and commitment. To our valued<br />
Readers<br />
and Clients, we say thank you for your<br />
support, loyalty and tremendous goodwill.<br />
Whatever your new year resolutions are, be happy<br />
and remember that life is too short to bear grudges.<br />
Learn to let go and put smile on someone's face this<br />
Month. Happy New Year.
