Though she was primarily known as the creator of Ghana’s national flag, she lived a full life and spent it inspiring many with philanthropic work and several incredible pieces of fine art. She is gone but we are still discovering just how great her effect was on Ghanaian culture.

Thank you Nana.

RIP 1922 - 2015

Wait no!! G you can't just drop random lore like that!!! Also please phrase it better!!!!

Ghosts nowadays are much rarer on the island, and haven't been seen in many years even on Halloween. Ghost puffles as well have since faded due to lack of ghostly power. So younger penguins often don't believe in them. However ghost hunters like Chase continue to prove their existence. But he's in complete disbelief that Ozzy doesn't think ghosts are real. But it was always too cold around this time of year.
