Amico, I love your intelligence. I enjoy being around smart people, and no one epitomizes that more than you. I have so many great memories across the world. I can’t forget the 2007 almost 26-hour bus trek from the East Coast all the way to Orlando, Florida. To console ourselves, we dubbed it the “Obama Campaign Tour” just to hide the fact that we couldn’t afford air tickets at the time. On one of those chilly nights in Washington DC, groping our way back to the hotel hoping to find a late-night restaurant, we stumbled into a fancy Chinese place. The waiter said all they had was asparagus. Unsure what to do, we ordered it anyway—only to be served green sticks that made us wonder whether to use them as drums or chewing sticks. And who could forget the pensions in Vienna, where the way to the bunkers wasn’t paved with gold but lined with cat-calling call girls as we walked down the pavement? Na waa for budget travelers! I want to thank you for being a great conversationalist with a clear, eidetic, and objective mind. If I ever had to call a friend while on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, it would certainly be you, Amico. Hi Amico, we have been more than partners in the firm. Our paths crossed about 20 years ago, and the relationship has seen steady growth and deepening bonds of friendship and family. This first Big Five-O of your life has been amazing and impactful. Knowing you as well as I do, I am convinced this new phase will mark another notch of your brilliance, grace, and a new world of untold happiness. Happy Birthday! Kwame Amankwah-Twum Amiko, Happy Happy Golden Birthday my Main Man Amiko aka Galamsey Counsel!!! Cheers to another 50 years of good health, wealth, peace of mind, love, joy, and more wins. Enjoy your milestone to the max. One thing I really love about you is how down to earth you are—always real and approachable. I truly value our conversations, especially when we discuss family issues and investment ideas; those moments are always thoughtful and meaningful. Thank you for the free financial and legal advice over the years. It has never gone unnoticed and is deeply appreciated. Bonkus Amikooo, Happy 50th, my brother! Half a century of profound impact – inspiring everyone around you with a heart of kindness and a sense of humour that is unmatched. Agnostica, Agnosticum, Agnosticarare!!! Hahaha—you always know how to find the light in any situation and give us a reason to laugh, no matter what’s going on. I have so many great memories from our uni undergrad days—confusing economics lectures, study groups, hand-outs, Berjaye, the ‘dey tops,’ and yes, the quizzes—Tripartite Committee, Stop the collective bargaining!! And make no mistake, Amiko, you were the real ‘dey top’ all along. I’m incredibly grateful to you. Whenever I faced a major personal decision, you were the first person I turned to. Your perspective, wisdom, and legal counsel have been invaluable—and hey, way before Google or ChatGPT, there was a human being with all those capabilities. Only you could answer questions like: Who was the President of South Korea assassinated in 1979? Which month? And why? Amiko knows the answer! Here’s to celebrating the man you are. I wish you many more years filled with purpose, joy, and love. God has more work for you, and I know you’ll enjoy it—it will be fulfilling, just as you deserve. Blessings, brother! Lawrence Kofi Tandjie Council, I have always loved about you is your cool, calm nature. You carry yourself with such quiet confidence, and it shows in everything you do. You will always be my Mirror Ball mate. I genuinely look forward to seeing you and my sister light up the dance floor every time. Thank you, sincerely, for allowing me to be part of your family, and especially for your assistance in helping my daughter get into law school. Happy Birthday to a man of true character. You are a quiet force and a reliable anchor for your family, balanced beautifully by your success as a reputable lawyer. Your helpful nature and steady integrity inspire us all. Wishing you a truly wonderful day. Celestine Amison-Addy The Birthday Journal 50
