A Distinguished Ghanaian Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, is the story of a legend who was born in 1963 to a Ghanaian Roman Catholic family in Accra, the subject of the biography Ahuma Bosco Ocansey by Gurinder Abrol. Both of Bosco's parents were teachers and members of a religious community. They loved them and disciplined them when it was necessary. Bosco had a really enjoyable and exciting childhood. He delighted in extracurricular pursuits including taekwondo, music, and football. Due to his life experience, he met legendary African figures like Ras Kimono and Abedi Pele. He developed into a successful guy who gave everything he did his all. Many have heard of and respect Bosco. He has experience working with several radio stations in Ghana and is always eager to support the next generation. Bosco made changes and left a long-lasting impact as he moved from one radio station to another.

This book is really interesting to read. There are several lessons in it. This is the aspect of the novel that I like best. This book's most important lesson is that success requires hard work. Bosco continued to grow as a person while switching jobs, learning from others in the process. This allowed him to leave and continue when the strain became too much. Workers may benefit from this. They may improve their chances of receiving better offers and keeping their jobs if they continually improve their abilities and acquire new ones.

I also admired Bosco's resourcefulness and originality. He had to make do with limited supplies at times. But he was a good manager and constantly inspired the people he worked with. Bosco's diplomacy in dealing with the press and detractors is also remarkable.

This book's author's genuineness is yet another remarkable quality. Even though Bosco and Ghana had a lot going for them, he was not afraid to point out where they might need some work.

The narrative's inclusion of maps for Ghana, Jamaica, Ethiopia, and Nigeria was very useful. I used the maps to follow along as the story went through the many locations Bosco visited. It seemed as if I was going with him. I particularly adored the photos and their pertinent descriptions toward the book's conclusion. They gave the names and faces of the people referenced in the novel, bringing the characters to life.

Nothing in this book bothers me. I give it a score of 5 out of 5. Reading about Bosco's life was enjoyable. The book had excellent editing, and the story flowed well. This book will be interesting to both workers and aspiring media celebrities.

I think the inclusion of maps in any book is beneficial. It helps the reader to orient him/her/theirselves. Photos are also good in nonfiction. The reader feels as if they are part of the action.
