A celebrated Broadcast Journalist with a passion for fashion and excellence in Radio presentation, Flipman has grown from the young chap who used to read Entertainment news at the flipside of FOX FM's studio to a top class DJ. He was a member of the powerful team that opened Fox Fm in August 1999. He doubled as a Public Relations Officer and deputy Editor of the station. A product of Ghana's Institute of Business Management and Journalism, The Flipman joined a selected team of hardworking professionals to open SPIRIT FM, owned by Starcom Broadcast Services also in Kumasi. At the young age of 23 he was the head of the news department and run live commentaries during the station's outdoor broadcast and soccer matches in Accra and Kumasi.

The Flipman who also used to be a staff writer for RTV and later Graphic Showbiz, migrated to Ghana's capital city, Accra (where he was born) and joined the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation as an On-Air talent with Uniiq fm, (formerly Radio GAR) in the year 2001. The shy and God-fearing dude had the privilege to work with renowned and superstar broadcasters like Charlie Sam, Tommy Annan Forson, Michael Smith, Nana Aba Anamoah of TV3, and Collins Ekuorba Gyasi of Adom fm among others.

In October of 2003 Flipman came to New York to pursue further studies. Aside schooling and working at the Hudson Hotel, Flipman has been busy almost every weekend MCing events across the states and sometimes DJing. He loves to have fun like all the time and is very kind hearted like his mum, whom he claims as the world’s most generous woman and the love of his life. His dad Napoleon Affel has been his backbone and a pillar to reckon on when he's emotionally down.

To God be all the glory as He's made me internationally known and locally respected. He looks forward to seeing Volta Power take over the online radio worldwide and is a bit excited to be a part of the dream team, working with big shots like Dr. Pastor Dee and Kofi Koranteng. His future is still unknown as he's aspiring to hold a ministerial position in his home country.

Nana Asiedu Darko has been in the radio business for a decade. It was his penchant for good music that opened the doors of radio for him. Known by friends and in media circles as, Mr. President he was born in the Ivory Coast, a francophone West African country where he began his formal education. In his late teens, his parents relocated to his native Ghana, a move that gave Nana the benefit of continuing his formal education in English, Ghana's official language.

His love for music became noticeable early on in life, when he started mimicking popular musicians of the day, both local and foreign. When he began singing in church there was no doubt that he would be a great gospel artiste. However, he found himself doing gigs with top secular bands of the day such as Western Diamonds, Sky Marshalls and the Police Band. With his silky and booming voice he was in hot demand in music circles. And, it seemed then that his natural inclination had opened the right door for him. But another door was yet to open for him, that of radio. At the inauguration of Radio BIYAC at Akim Oda in the Eastern Region of Ghana, he starred as a guest singer of the band invited to perform at the function. He so enthralled the crowd that the management of the radio station deemed it a wise investment to sign him. So, they invited him for discussion. Their only fear was that he had not done radio before. But they were prepared to take a risk, if nothing at all, for his voice and his knack for good music. At least, with the qualities seen in him, he could be a good DJ for the station, they thought. But their risk paid off in more ways than one. On the day Nana met the management a presenter was late for his program and a scheduled announcement was due to be made. With time fast flying and the credibility of the station at stake, Nana offered to make the announcement. To avoid any mistakes the management tested him off air. He passed the test without effort and he got the job. That is how he entered radio. Since then he has not looked back. His talent opened more doors for him in radio. He had a stint with Adom FM at Tema during its test transmission and worked with Good News FM at Takoradi. He also worked with Ash FM in Kumasi where he got his nickname from a caller who described him as The President of the station.


On the inauguration of Volta Power FM, Mr. President joined the station and he has already brought his quality to bear on his program. The calls he receives whenever he is on air with his good hi-life, hip-life, gospel music and motivational words, attest to the following he is building for himself and the station. Mr. President is married and plans to have children. His favorite meal is fufu with light soup prepared with preko ntwere (pig feet). His motto is: Because my redeemer lives, I can face tomorrow. His ambition is to fear the lord and become a great person. He is proud to be part of the dream team of Volta Power FM and wants to play his part to sustain the image of the station as the all-time best among African stations, home and abroad.

G. Ofori Anor is one of the widely known and highly respected individuals in the African immigrant community of the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut Tri-State Metropolitan Area. His oratorical talents and eloquence has made him into a popular and a highly sought-after host of public and private events and celebrations. Indeed, he has brought these skills to the world renowned HBO media giant working as between rounds commentator/translator in boxing fights involving Ghanaian athletes since 2000.

As co-founder and Publisher/Editor-in Chief, he steered the ASENTA Newspaper to become one of the most respected and independent newsmagazines within the African immigrant community. While at it, he hosted a regular spot on WLIB 1190AM Radio that featured the first and only live on air link-up of a radio station in Ghana (Radio Gold) to a major radio station in the United States. His insightful analysis of news, editorial commentary and satirical prose are still quoted and will be for a long time to come.

During the 2000 US Census, he served as the consulting advisor for advertisement and programs targeted at the African immigrant community in the area. It was at this time that he also worked as the Media Consultant for the now defunct Ghana Airways. As a community activist and organizer, he is fearlessly committed to the building of institutions that would enable Africans to define and propel their community and cultural values out of the fringes into the mainstream of American societal discourse.

To this end he has helped found and, or, hold top leadership positions in organizations such as the Center for African Initiatives, the African Media Coalition, Safe Societies Incorporated, the Ghana Cultural School, National Council of Ghanaian Associations, Okuapeman Fekuw Inc etc. Ask him and he will tell you that he is only an educator, student and scholar imbued with a fearless and unapologetic passion and desire to study and tell the African's story in a way that only the African can tell to a world that would rather not listen.
