I feel more at home in Ghana than in Ireland – Rev. Fr. Andrew Campbell

The Parish Priest of Christ the King Catholic Church in Accra, Rev. Fr. Andrew Campbell has shared that Ghana is more of a home to him than his birth land, Ireland.
According to the priest, he feels like a stranger whenever he visits Ireland.
Rev. Fr. Campbell made this disclosure in an interview on Y 107.9 FM’s ‘Myd Morning Radio Show’ with Akosua Hanson who sat in for Rev. Erskine.
“I am more at home in Ghana. When I go to Ireland, I feel like a stranger. I have been in Accra all my life and I know the place well. And I pray I am buried here”.
He noted that he visits Ireland every three (3) years and “all those I knew have passed on”.
Rev. Fr. Andrew Campbell expressed his excitement and pride at having received his Ghanaian citizenship a few years ago. “When I received my Ghanaian passport, I would get to the airport and they would ask me to join the queue for the foreigners and I will tell them no, I am a Ghanaian. I have my voter ID card too and I vote”, he said excitedly.
The priest who has been in Ghana for about fifty (50) years noted that his favorite Ghanaian meals were Kontomire with some tender plantain and yam and Fufu with groundnut soup and chicken.
After almost 42 years of arrival at the Tema Port, Reverend Father Andrew Campbell, who arrived at the Tema Port, received documents granting him full Ghanaian citizenship on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013 at the Ministry of Interior.
