Nana Fredua-Agyeman, from Ghana is a virtual friend of mine. He is also a keen blogger of mostly African Literature and an excellent haiku writer.
Though we have never met, I respect him so much for his brilliance and deeply analytical reviews on his blog ImageNations. An Agricultural Economist by profession and a Poet by passion, Nana keeps three blogs: ImageNations, Haiku from Ghana, and Black Pathology. Some of his Haiku have been published in magazines such as Frogpond, The Heron’s Nest, Acorn etc and at e-zines such as simplyhaiku.com and Shamrock Haiku Journal. Currently,he has a manuscript of poems (not Haiku) titled BLACK PATHOLOGY.
Why this lovely introduction? Nana recently invited me to participate in the Reader’s Top Ten series, a weekly event that showcases readers’ or bloggers’ top ten African reads.
Wonderful friends, do visit my friend at ImageNations to sample my top ten African reds and also to have a taste of his beautiful collection of haiku and his other works. 🙂
Well done, Celestine !! Very well compiled. Thanks for sharing….
Interestingly, I have read the following novels…
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Adichie
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Now, I must try and grab the other books. Thanks…
Thank you Panchali. Grab them, by all means. It would be good to hear your thoughts on them, my friend.
Well done!
Thank you Gilly.
He is a very insightful blogger. I’m always impressed with his book reviews. Congratulations on being chosen Celestine.
Thanks Nana. Nana Fredua is just too good.
Congrats on the invite!! Way to sparkle!!

Excellent article here and there both Celestine. You’re right, Nana’s written words and haiku are wonderful. So much reading to do after reviewing your top ten picks! But then I love to read, my friend! 🙂
Thanks, Penny. Glad you were able to visit Nana. His haiku is really awesome.
Yes is is, Celestine – as of course (sorry can’t help myself) is yours! 🙂

Hi there Celeste. Greetings, read your profile on Nana’s blog, lovely. Suddenly I want to read Things fall apart again… hehe.
Please go ahead, Nifti. There is nothing like a re-read. But it’s been a while now. I don’t get your posts these days, what’s up?
Lovely profile on Nana’s blog Celeste.
Thank you dear friend.
wonderful news and well done! ♥
Thank you Sun!
Congratulations. It is a wonderful thing to be recognized by your peers.
Thank you so much, Kim.
Stunning haiku. Really something. Am going to propose to Kristjaan at carpe diem he is featured.
Amazing,isn’t he? Please do the proposal. I’m sure Nana will be glad to join! 🙂 I have started discussions with him on how best to form a haiku club here in Ghana.
Please do start the Haiku society as soon as poss! Would like to have him as featured haiku writer for a month, which means we would use some of his haiku for inspiration during the month. If you have he are co-founders of the society it looks very good on the carpe diem page!
That is fine with him. I will send him an email and give him a brief. At the same time I will give you his email so you can also contact him.
Congratulations dear Celestine! Very well deserved, and you are so lovely for supporting your friends 🙂 God bless! xx
Thank you so much, Tatiana. God bless you too. 🙂
