We have been to more than half of the Klo (krobo) state not because we natives, but because we have been looking forward to creating awareness about our sinking state in terms of social development.

Our thoughts on the MDGs in past and on the SDGs are things of another time to talk about when we are looking at our country's development. The development Geek is going to speak for the voiceless who suffer the consequences of the government's nay sayings. We are going to bring you raw facts,real videos and true stories that haven't been told. We will open up as we delve into our country's development more. Be on the look,more blocs,pictures and videos.
