IN MEMORIAM
We are excited to reunite after some 25 odd years of scattered and sporadic contact.
It is energising and we will build upon it to make it more meaningful and rewarding.
Sadly, this joy cannot be shared with the entire year group as some are no longer with us..
In honour of our departed fellow Akoras. Gone too soon. May their souls rest in perfect peace.
You shall not be forgotten.

House: Lugard The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death (Isaiah 57: 1-2) |
Felix Kelvin AMANKWAH
House: Guggisberg My best friend, Felix Amankwah Alias Shashabo (Wizzy Wizzy), I really miss you. You were truly awesome!!!! RIP "Felix Amankwah was small in stature, but had a personality that was larger than life." Felix Amankwah, popularly called Shabow was a happy-go-lucky guy. Together with his close pal Guzi Guzi, they always arrived very late for commerce class knowing very well that Mr. Brown, the tutor would hit the roof. He would rant and rave to the amusement of the whole class and drive them out of the class but they would re-enter through the second door. Oh youthful exuberance! |
Gerald Yakubu ANDAN
House: Lugard Gerald was the epitome of adventure! His family spent a lot of time in Northern Ghana and with school way down south in Accra, he had made many trips covering the long distance and always told such exciting stories about those experiences and even some close encounters. No wonder he became a pilot. Big and strong yet humble and always seeking to protect the weaker ones. A fine, fine man. Rest in Peace. |
Alex ANI aka "Rabbi"
House: McCarthy Our friend and brother, Alex Ani (a.k.a Rabbi). Too sad you left us to join the creator. Even now that you are gone, we still feel your presence and the smile that you put on our faces. We will forever cherish all the great moments that we shared in Motown and in Tema. We will miss you every day of our lives and may God be with you till we reconnect again. Coincidentally, I actually met Alex Ani – “Rabbi” during a couple of extra class sessions conducted within the Teshie-Nungua vicinity, in an effort to sharpen our skills for the then upcoming Common Entrance Examination. Lo and behold! I arrived at Motown only to recognize a familiar looking face, whom would later be known by many as “Rabbi”. |
Edward K. ANTWI aka "Kuzunik"
House: Aggrey Eddie "Kuzunik" Antwi was as gentle as they come. From the time we entered form one, I honestly do not remember him doing any wrong. Although we didn't stay in touch after school , his brother Daniel would tell me anytime we spoke that Eddie was doing well. His passing was such a shock to many. It was a great loss. Rest in peace, Eddie, rest in peace till we meet again!!! |
Nana Ama Serwaa BADU
House: Slessor Nana Serwaa and I lived in the same neighbourhood in Labone for some time in the early 1980s and it was a pleasure to see her in Achimota School. She made me feel like I had an ally in Slessor House! Sweet, cool and all-round lovely personality. She is dearly missed. Nana Ama, rest in peace. |
Frank Akuafo DADEBOE
House: Gyamfi Sixth form brought us together not only as roommates but as Brethren who wanted more out of life. |
Patrick Kwame DUNYO
Livingstone I remember Castro being a very firm and straightforward, person. Because he did not like to see juniors being bullied on campus, he constantly looked out for his mates and did not hesitate to challenge seniors on matters that required applying common sense before hastily punishing junior students. |
Michael Ivan GIBSON
House: Fraser - 12 Never a dull moment around you, always with a bright smile and a joke or tease to follow. Anchim, you will always be remembered for your good nature and your athletic exploits in long distance. Full of determination you lived your life to the fullest and were never afraid to try. A dear friend to many who will be fondly remembered with both a tear and a smile. |
Nana Konadu OWUSU aka "Zeebrows"
House: Kingsley For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord. |
Guido William SOHNE
Guido Sohne dedicated his life to nothing less than transforming Africa and writing software, that remains the great technology hope for Africa, educated Africans agree. With only a cheap laptop and a Web connection, young Africans can compete with the best of the rest in the world. With the press of their keyboard, they can obliterate distance and deliver their code to customers around the world. That vision captivates Sohne, who is a forceful advocate for home-grown software. While his aspirations are typical, his story is unusual. Raised in Accra, Ghana, Sohne excelled in school, won admittance as an undergraduate to Princeton University and then showed his stubborn rebellious streak. He dropped out and returned to Ghana.

Genevieve Ama STENDAL
House: Annie Baeta - 17 I don’t even know what to say or where to start. Genevieve Ama Stendal, you passed away too soon. You touched many of us with your positive attitude and words of encouragement. You were a darling to all of us. I still remember that mini send-off party that you organized for me in 2002, just before I left for the US. I so wish there was time enough to reciprocate your kind gesture. |
