TedxAccra 2016 speakers: Meet Super Morning Show Host Kojo Yankson #RethinkAccra
Kojo Yankson is a broadcast journalist, an author, a motivational speaker, and the host of the Super Morning Show on Joy 99.7FM. Since he took over the show in April 2014, Kojo has marked up several milestones.
In addition to winning CIMG Radio Programme of the Year in his first year at the helm of the Show, Kojo was also the first journalist to venture into Nigeria at a time when they were battling an Ebola outbreak, reporting from the nation’s isolation centres, and following the trail of the virus across the country to Port Harcourt.
Known on air as The Morning Man, Kojo Yankson has crafted a unique magazine show that commands the attention of 6 million Ghanaians every morning, with his unique blend of witty commentary, insightful analysis, hard-hitting interviews, and conscience-pricking social dialogue.
Anything can happen when the Morning Man is in the hot seat. Scandals have been exposed, families have been reunited, lives have been saved, funds have been raised, and – on one particularly unfortunate occasion – a woman has died from Cholera, all live on the show that runs five days a week, from Monday to Friday.
Why you should listen
I have a theory. It might shock you. I believe our problems as a people might be down to genetics. Am I racist? Or am I right? Come, listen, and make up your own mind. Either way, it’s time we started to rethink our way of life on a very fundamental level, don’t you agree?
Quote from Kojo
“We have not always been blessed with great leaders, but the real problem is that we have been cursed with excellent followers.”
