CHARLOTTE FOFO LOMOTEY

 PROFILE Hi, Welcome to my site. I am Charlotte Fofo Lomotey. I think I come from Ada-Foah in the Dangme East District of the Greater Accra Region. You know, the capital of the Greater Accra Region is Accra; and Accra is also the capital of Ghana. So you now know that the people of Ghana have special liking for my Region. This is because everything is done from Accra.

When I am not doing any academic work, I like to sit at the beach, watch films, surf on the net, read inspirational books and relax a lot. I also like to chat with my male friends a lot.
