Can happen only in New York! Recommend Recommended by 14 Readers 8. Neel Kumar Silicon Valley, California August 12th, 2011 3:28 pm Every time I go to India, I feel that it is not a vacation - rather an arduous test that I have to overcome. But Mr Osei's work is far far more complex and demanding than what I have to go through. Hats off to you Mr Osei. You have not only handled both sides of your responsibilities with aplomb but you have a really cool mate to do it with. Recommend Recommended by 43 Readers 9. DP NYC August 12th, 2011 3:28 pm Why am I not impressed with his status as Chief in Ghana? This reminds me of expatriot royalty from Communist bloc countries: Bulgarian Vicounts, Romanian Princesses,etc. Not impressed! Recommend Recommended by 14 Readers 10. Margaretleo NY August 12th, 2011 3:28 pm A cautionary tale for anti-immigrant xenophobes. It would be interesting to know how much tax and other revenues have been generated by this one couple.

Here is a couple who work hard in New York and are also working hard to make life better in their homeland. I came to the US as a child and my parents still send money to family "back home". My mother recently retired after working for 25 years as a hotel housekeeper and my father still works as a consumer electronics technician. I wish more of these stories were covered in the news.
