The Most Beautiful Moment I ever Experienced is a moment I spent at the Black star square Ghana.

Black Star Square, also known as Independence Square, is a public square in Accra, Ghana, bordered by the Accra Sports Stadium and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park.

The square often hosts the annual independence celebrations as well as other national events. It is currently the site for all civic and military parades in Ghana. It was completed in the year 1961, which coincided with the visit of Queen Elizabeth's II state visit to Ghana.

I visited this place at a time when we were having issues about coming back to Nigeria from ghana.

After church service on this faithful day instead of returning back to my hotel, I decided to go for a walk around the community.

what I saw first was the Accra sports stadium from afar, I am a sports fanatic so I decided to go see it for myself, on getting there I was amazed to find myself at the nationalism park of Ghana, I felt overwhelmed at the sight of this.

I was going through the nationalism park when I came up to the Blackstar tower, I met someone there who agreed to give me a tour.

he was enlightened about the history of Ghana and I couldn't help but fall in love with the country.

I went further to see the sea and as a result, I went behind the castle, it was so scary and fascinating, I saw a lot from the spoils of war, I saw used canon from the war.

I was able to get seashells from the sea.
Overall a day that was meant to be ordinary turned out to be the best one I ever had in my stay in Ghana.
