Anytime we are here, we feel at home. The kids are here for the first time and it has been an amazing experience,\u201d he said when NEWS-ONE chanced on him and the wife in Accra at the Movenpick Hotel on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Boris arrived in Ghana last Sunday with Nicole Ari Parker and their two children. He is in town to host AITEO CAF AWARDS 2017 scheduled for Thursday, January 4, 2018 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC). The event has also brought a number of international dignitaries to town, including soccer stars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is double -whelming for me. Not only do I get to host an event that I have been watching for a long time, I have been a football player for a very long time. Growing between Ghana and Germany, football is number one. I have a number of friends who play in the leagues and so to be here to host and having us in Accra, it is a bonus for me,\u201d Boris said about hosting the event in Ghana while he revealed he will be on stage with Nicole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is also to reconnect with my family here and show my kids what Ghana is all about. They were very close to their grandfather and so to be here with them is amazing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Boris shared his New Year\u2019s message from Accra on Instagram saying, \u201cHappy New Year from the Kodjoes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boris was born to Eric Kodjoe, a Ghanaian physician, and Ursula, a German psychologist of partially Jewish descent.<\/p>\n<p>According him, \u201cI used to speak Ga when I was three to four years old and then I lost it all but I still can understand a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boris expressed enthusiasm to co-produce a movie in Ghana to take to America. \u201cI have been aware of what is happening in Ghana\u2018s movie industry. I produced a few TV shows in South Africa. I would love to produce some shows here. Maybe some movies. Maybe I could find a way to co-produce some stuff here and bring to America and not the other way round. I\u2019m ready,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 3 January 2018 Source: dailyguideafrica.com 2018-01-03 Boris Kodjoe with his wife Nicole Ari Parker Hollywood actor of German and Ghanaian descent, Boris Kodjoe, has described as \u201cextra special\u201d his return with his family to his father\u2019s homeland, Ghana.
