Blessed Sunday everyone. How are you this morning or should I say what are you up to? Church, sleep, cooking, washing, ironing for the week ahead? Well whatever you are up to, I pray that you have a good day and a good week. I also pray that the Lord gives you grace to achieve whatever it is you set out to achieve this week. It is really by some grace that we are alive and we have strength to move out into the world and try to fulfill our destiny's . Yes I really do pray for the grace and mercy of God into your life's .
My Sunday afternoon is not packed. I have a little cooking to do, a little tiding and a trip to the barber's shop. Yes you heard right barber 's shop. For those who have not seen me before, I have cut my hair. I had hair, got tired of weaves, cut it though I was still relaxing...then I decided to simply cut it. At first I thought I would look funny but strangely enough people are more used to the look than I am. Yes ooo. Well for what it's worth I spend only 20 cedis a month on my hair. 5 cedis at the barber's then 15 cedis to buy a shampoo. Smh. I used to spend close to 500 cedis on my hair in a month. Anyone with a calculator. Mdfskkk . I am gunning for the Amber Rose haircut. For that I have to be brave but I will. Come to think of it it will be a fab look when I drive my Range Rover. Stunning! Hehe.
but hey I appreciate that not everybody has the head like mine for the short look. Ok I am in no way trying to make my sisters look bad. I admire some ladies with their weaves and up dos. Especially if it is kept well. There is nothing more frightening than when you stand or sit beside someone with a smelly, dry weave. Urgh! Vomit look! Hehe. But it is all good.
NaaBia Wei di333 woanye adi3 koraa ah! I have not acknowledged Sarkodie in my blog. Grin! Yes ooo Obidiponbidi got a verified twitter account a couple of weeks ago. What is a verified twitter account? It is when Twitter ( one of the social media platforms) acknowledges the huge following you have on their platform and solidify your status. I have never met Sarkodie heck come to think of it I do not even know his real name ( I hope he is a Kwame) but I am soo proud of him. First of all..he definitely made his style of rapping in twi different..he sort to do a Busta Rhymes type of thing. Then he turned to shy away from all the things that people in his world do when small money gets in their hands...partying every week, booze, women. Do you know that Sarkodie doesn't drink! I soo love him for that. First I thought it was a pr gimmick but all the articles that are done on him and reports I have heard from friends who have been at party's where he is at say he never once picked up alcohol. Big smile!! And he is always pushing...small wonder, BET, MOBO, MTV picked up his trail. I have a small problem with him tho..his lyrics. Sometimes you want to cring! Sometimes you just to hide your head in a pillow. Yea I know rappers use foul words but I wish he could like refrain from that and be different but he is growing and I am sure that he will be reaccesing himself.
As for the rumors that he is illuminati and that he devil worships ....please ! Sometimes success is just what it is....success.
The sun is blazing hot ...kinda reminds you gently that harmattan is around the corner. I think the ozone layer is finished. Done it is. The human race has finally vanquished the ozone layer. Its True oo because these days when the sun burns, it burns with a lot of determination. Oh Vera. Yes I have named the sun Vera. So ooh Vera ibi us wey you burn us like that oh Vera. Haha. Please D Black I do not have money to pay copyright I beg. But err your video for Hoh Vera is very not not. Enkoyie koraa if you think I am lying watch it again...hehe
Another thing do you have light or water? You see because the bodies who are responsible for making sure we have these essentials have tossed us about saaa we are used to not having either light or water or both. My friend Stephanie has even taken it a step further she has memorized the load shedding in her area....hehe oh Vera! Anyways I have light but I do not have water and I want to slap somebody. We have poly tanks but the water is low so we are virtually praying that the taps come on tonite. You can't clean, you can't cook, using the washroom is cumbersome, the whole house becomes very someway. Just one of these days we will get so upset that we will send all our water bills to the customer care department. Just imagine all the areas in the Greater Accra region that do not have sufficient or is it a adequate supply of water sending all their bills to them. That will be soo hilarious. We should try it sometime. Errrr wait oh am I causing fear and panic....oh Vera. Lmao
Hurray Ghana just scored China. I am not sure if it is the black queens or princesses just walked into the dying minutes of the game but I am so elated. Yes dear China take the two goals and shove it down your throat. Ya sh3 mo. It's sweet. Errrrm wait have they given us the Chinese loan? Haha
Have a good afternoon....

Saturday 29 September 2012
Truth matters...
It's Saturday...time check 12:14pm and I am not asleep. Frown. I am going through one of those days that you mean to sleep and the bed looks at you and says "it's not happening". Sigh. But join me in sending a huge hug to my friend Afua who is getting married today. Errrr it is an engagement but I call it wedding. Yes the white wedding is Kwesi Broni's tradition. Our tradition is the engagement and all that comes with it. Afua I know you are busy now but if you happen to read this post. I know you were soo beautiful, I am totally in awe of your husband P.K and thank you for letting me be a part of your decor team. Muahz Darling. and yes my reward is wedding cake and lotsa pineapple juice. Haha.
Well much has happened in the last couple of days. The PPP claim they are considering boycotting Joyfm, the NDP executives are trying to convince themselves and us that they are trying to convince NKAR or accept the position of flagbearer and now the NDC my favorite party ever since the I understood the definition of concert party has rescinded their decision not to partake in the IEA debates for presidential candidates. First of all PPP can you give us a HUGE BREAK! Ah! Na adzen. Shrug! First of all if you seek to offer transformational leadership, the last thing you go about doing is boycotting. Boycotting because of what? Unfair treatment you say? Haha! All you people have have is succeeded to make Dr. Nduom look petty and childish. Because once an idea slips out of anybody's mouth then it came from PPP. If anybody coughs then it comes from PPP. Then some statement will come with some plenty brofo , errrrm please the last one you released I was left scratching my head because I didn't understand why I was being asked to ignore a party because it has your ideas. Seriously...! Have you forgetten that even in an exam people in different rooms can write the same answer or now PPP has the ability to read minds ahhhh then let me come so you tell me when I am going to buy my jaguar! Or? Wait a minute...I know you have your right to boycott, you have your right to do whatever you so please but come closer....yes come closer and let me tell you something, we do not give a hoot about boycotting. Ghanaians are wild ooo. We are struggling with electricity, water, education, social amenities what have you....we need a team that looks like they understand our urgency. If you take pride in boycotting, copyrighting ideas and writing long statements then please sit somewhere. And ooooh applause for PPP on its decision for running mate. Madam Eva Lokko. Errrrrrm ok me leave it here, well it was a surprise that I must say but errrrrm ok you let me leave it here. Good luck Madam Lokko. Lord knows you need it.
And NDP please and pretty please we are not children. Kindly credit us with some small intelligence wai. Yepamokyew. You are begging who to do what? So that what? Errrrr none of you , yes my brothers and sisters who call themselves NDP party executives has money to even build a cold store. It's not a diss but you don't. You do not have money to buy or is it build a cold store how much more buy brand new pickups , brand them, build offices and brand them, mount billboards, pay for air time on radio,newspaper ads blah blah blah. Obviously there are some heavy weights behind you...hmmm a good guess is the Papa and Auntie. Because seriously who believes in the cause to end the NDC more than them. And possesses the cash to attempt to do so. Yep! Come to think of it, all the traveling around that my Papa and Auntie have done, I smell fundraising! Oh yes I do, I smell fundraising from friends. Haha! It is always friends who we never see who support causes with Papa and auntie K. School fees, houses, cars ....it is always friends. Hmmm I have learnt to stop trying to figure out who the friends are, but I beg as for this trying to convince business di333 kindly tell it to the marines. It is not working! Infact I think Auntie K should hire a PR team because the element of surprise that she seeks to create with her public decision always kind of backfires. The elena of surprise rather lies with Papa. Yes we always want to know what he will say or do. And usually he doesn't dissappoint. Haha. But in all I raise my glass to Auntie. She has been very forgiving with Papa Kufuor. It's healthy. All the bad blood has to end somewhere, yes it is good kiss and makeup between those two. I believe the organizers of IMAGIN events have the praise for that. Their Lumba and Amakye Dede concerts have been very helpful. Because after all the drama Ghana is the reason why we are in politics. Yes that is the common sense approach. We must learn to be civil towards each other.
I saved the best for last. The National Democratic Congress. Eye zuuuuu, ey3 zaaaaaa. Herhhh you people are so so funny. Seriously every week my day is made. Let me tackle the decision to partake in the IEA decision. Yes only a fool does not change his mind. But why on earth would you want to be a fool. For what reason...someone kindly tell me. At this time I think no I rather believe the NDC thinks the election is between them and NPP. And that the NPP is just the opposition party who sit opposite them in Parliament. Mdfskkkk...sorry to burst your bubble but the election is convincing the entire Nation that you need to be in charge to lead the country into positive areas. Everything that they do is a fight against the NPP meanwhile they forget that Ghanaians are watching them. Dear NDC you knew very well that your decision not to partake in the IEA was simply because the president at the time was not well. And no not well is not just a sore throat. The cancer had advanced. Visibly his health was deteriorating, audibly his voice was long gone. But look at the front you put up. Incredible, just incredible. Attacking the credibility of the IEA. Saying that some of the individuals who sit on the panel are NPP, completely bastardizing the presidential debates the IEA will organize soon. And to what extent....now you are back? Why is it because the man who was then president is dead? Pause? Come back to my question and see how narrow minded your actions and I actions have made you look. But me I am happy because I want that platform to be able to access the presidents and vice presidential hopefuls. I want that presidential debate process to be deepened and form a integral part of deciding who becomes our leader. I am not too worried about my presidential candidate Nana Addo I know he will be fantastic. He understands his issues and besides it is his issues that has led to discussions (some immature) on what aspiring leaders should do for the if elected. I am not worried about my vice presidential candidate Dr. Bawumia but I am waiting for his encounter with the rest especially Mr. Amissah Arthur.
I cannot wait for Dr. Bawumia to show the rest of Ghana what I already know and am proud of..yes I know this is a financial genius ( please who ever understands Math more than i do is a financial genius) who accepts that he is human, who doesn't run away from theory books or practical applications and who clearly understands that whoever holds the rein of governance from January of next year has soo much work to do. If nothing at all when he came out with a statement about the true state of economic affairs of the country, after all the insults and by force rejoinder from the Statiscal Service, the World Bank had the Satistical service rebase the basket ...that must tell you something. For me, I think the choice of Veep is critical because he heads the economic management team. We know how our country was under veep Mahama, we know how our finances have been under governor Arthur I shudder to think what it would be under veep Arthur. Yes the choice of veep is the most critical for me this election. As for president I have the firm believe Nana Addo would not tolerate the nonsense that have creeped in to the presidency. We need a firm hand, and for me I see that in my William. Haha yes Mr. Woyogate, you will pay back the money.
And please do I hear that we have a new issue with Ibrahim Mahama, Oga Prez , Engineers and Planners, SSNIT and Merchant Bank. Hmmm Chief Kufuor come for a stone, Papa Kufuor come for Kente wai. I will dedicate an entire post to this topic because I must explain the hotel Kufuor and Engineers Planners thingy as I understand it. But till then I will say that I love the law of Karma. I love the law of getting back what you sow. Now some of us do not talk plenty about morality now we will be silent about nepotism. And yes next time when the babies with sharp teeth are spitting dirty water..you will look for dettol and vim to scrub the filth.
Yes morality and nepotism are big issues that need to be addressed in our politic but the approach, the
falsehood have paved way for it to be used as a tool for propaganda, as a tool for disgracing and as a
tool for shredding reputations to bits. Now let's see how the shoe fits on the other side.
Time check now it's 7:42pm. What to do on a cold Saturday nite? Any ideas! Well thank you for reading...
Have a lovely evening everyone. Beautiful weather....no?!

The cake in me... ;)
Please if you don't like sugar don't read and blast me. Mepakyew wai. I know that sugar is bad.Yes I know there is diabetes in this world. I know there is sickness that is induced by sugar...yes it is called candiasis yes I know so I beg please don't shake your head. Cake can be eaten in correct portions so as not to induce any illness besides I believe what I will use to smoke and drink I will rather eat cake. Heheee...this post was a work in progress. I had it sitting on my desktop for two whole weeks (scratching head) And I do not even understand why I did that. It is not a dramatic title too. It is simply about my absolute adoration for cake. Well i might as well finish it now. I am the cake boss in my family. Oooo there is this guy I love soo much. He is called Buddy. He is Italian and he makes amazing cakes.
OMG!! He has a show called The Cake Boss. Sometimes I am soo mad that the nerds and the IT guys still haven't figured a way for us to grab stuff from the TV as it is happening. Lmao. Buddy is amazing and it is a family business. His father was a pastry chef and passed the shop and the talent on to him. Ohhhhhh and Buddy does all sorts of things with cakes. A train, a house, a car, an aeroplane, shoes, errr just think of anything Buddy and his team of nephews, sisters and cousins will sort you out. America fo) chilli paaa. Back to earth NaaBia... errr where was I? Yes i am the cake boss at home. It is so hilarious to the point that if there is an occasion in my house, I am the to go to person on all things cake. I can bake too thanks to my mother but honestly it has been ages since i did that. I hardly get time from Monday to Friday and on weekends all i want to do is sleep. Ahhh sleep.But we have come a long way in Ghana, yes the days when roll on icing ruled are gone or is it going and when Bakeshop was the only ish available.
Urgh roll on icing....vomit look. Not only does roll on icing not melt in your mouth, it is hard and can get stuck in your teeth. Argh that is why I cannot stand some wedding cakes. Ah wedding cake with hard icing, wedding cake with raisins....and when I get the mixture of the two, my heart simply breaks. It's like I am a bride who has been left at the altar. Hehe exagerration eh! But seriously wedding cakes should be fun and not boring. Wedding cakes should be divine so that after one year...you can launch your mouth again or? Saaa pepepe. ei but do you remember when Bakeshop was the ish. But now there are new divas in town. I will come to them later. It was truly refreshing to get cakes with everything edible, really refreshing to get cakes with icing that does wonders to your taste buds. I really think Bakeshop has maintained their consistency! Do you agree ! If you have ever eaten their cakes you would realize that it never changes. The taste remain the same and you are assured of quality and fresh. That I give them a huge thumbs up. I think the word for Bakeshop is conservative. Yes I think that's it. They are the Republican version of cakes in aghana. Please I gave them that name ooo. Don't go and say it so that if trouble come then you mention my name ooo. Lmao.
As I said there are new divas in town. I have sampled Cakes from Frimpsey and the ever popular Kareena. Let me start with Kareena. Her cakes that I have ordered and eaten and eaten from others ( hehegeee) are not themed but they are Oooh so lovely. What!!! It's soft it's spongy, and you definitely get the different flavors that she is working with. Very rich but light. I really wonder how she does it. also her finishing touch it's not soo dramatic but the ribbon with the writing on it,the whipped cream the layers of chocolate mousse. Yum yum! And Oooh Frimpsey I absolutely adore her though I have never met her. My order was late, she didn't freak out and she made the cutest cupcakes ever. I made a mistake on that. I should have taken pictures so that you see she did. It was Patrick's bday and on each cake she had shirts, a tie, cute manly suff that made eating the cake real sinful. Her cake decorations are well artwork. She makes real themed cakes like my Italian chef Buddy. Apart from the normal, vanilla, strawberry, black forest, chocolate ei she can do rum, marble, baileys some combinations bi....hehe!
Amen to the art of confectionery. these are the kind of cakes someone like yours truly will want to order for a wedding.
Alright I think I am done now. I can post this in peace. And eiii who watched miss Mailaika on Sunday. I did and I was soo happy to see Debra Jane Nelson. She is as usual a Facebook person I have not met but she really impressive. She was soo honest, Infact brutally. If anyone from Chaterhouse wants a new spank in their pageants then people like Debra should be regular judges.
Well I guess it is goodnite and I hope everybody sleeps well.
Have a good nite or is it morning, deepening on the time length you read this ;)

Karma
Good evening...on my way home. No I am not driving. Smh before any of you decide to run to MTTU. I am with a colleague and actually she inspired this short post. We are actually just infront of TV3 in some painful traffic. Neways I am used to traffic in the evenings now. Yes ooo because there is nothing that I can do about it. Sometimes I want to zap the cars, sometimes I want to push the cars, sometimes I want to fly over the cars...no I am not mad ooo. Haha I am very alright.
Anyways we were talking about the sex tape that is yet to be released. Hmm apparently some people claim they have a tape that contains explicit details about Oga. We were both wondering if it really exists, we were both wondering if it was necessary and we were both wondering how all of a sudden the umbrellas have stopped preaching about morals. Smh tsk tsk what you do not want somebody to do to you, you do not do to others. Now who is at the receiving end of the jokes and insults. I remember asking my umbrella friends that all this womanizing things they were accusing Nana Addo off he never had any woman come up and say these are his children out of wedlock.? Or this is the child that is out of wedlock who his wife doesn't like. We never heard that. We never heard that Nana Addo had or rather has a number of children through adultery and is now at peace with his wife never. What we rather heard was distortions to jokes he cracked and distortions to some GTV tape.
When all these distortions were happening there was deafening silence, there was no rebuke. Young men and women who on a good day couldn't even look Nana Addo in the eye ridiculed him and there was silence.
Ooh Gizele Yazzi! Ei what didn't they do to Papa Kufuor. Insults, jokes without a shred of evidence. All sorts of derogatory comments. Meanwhile the woman and her twins never appeared, no woman came out and said she had had children with Papa Kufuor and yes all the children he has came from Mama Tess. You see how Karma is. It will go round and come back to you and in this case it is going to hit Oga Prez very hard. Hmmm I am feel for Mrs Oga, she is going to be reminded of so many things, the children are going to have to toughen up and endure the fall out from all of this.
The coming weeks will be interesting so some people will have to toughen up. I wish them luck and next time when something is not right, let's just accept that it is not well.
Just got to Tetteh Quarshie. This is just a short post. Yep just a few thoughts I had to share like ASAP. Anyways Oga will address the UN I believe tomorrow...well infront of the UN I will give him a big shout out. I pray his handlers find him a sharp suit and tie, I pray he speaks with confidence befitting of a President yes because at the end of the day he is the Primus Interpares. The first man of Ghana.
Have a good evening
See you tomorrow.
Anyways we were talking about the sex tape that is yet to be released. Hmm apparently some people claim they have a tape that contains explicit details about Oga. We were both wondering if it really exists, we were both wondering if it was necessary and we were both wondering how all of a sudden the umbrellas have stopped preaching about morals. Smh tsk tsk what you do not want somebody to do to you, you do not do to others. Now who is at the receiving end of the jokes and insults. I remember asking my umbrella friends that all this womanizing things they were accusing Nana Addo off he never had any woman come up and say these are his children out of wedlock.? Or this is the child that is out of wedlock who his wife doesn't like. We never heard that. We never heard that Nana Addo had or rather has a number of children through adultery and is now at peace with his wife never. What we rather heard was distortions to jokes he cracked and distortions to some GTV tape.
When all these distortions were happening there was deafening silence, there was no rebuke. Young men and women who on a good day couldn't even look Nana Addo in the eye ridiculed him and there was silence.

Nkrumahists with Rolex Watches
Hello Hello everybody, Happy Breezy Tuesday everybody…yeah right! who am I kidding?
I am in no way happying myself on a Tuesday. It is still too early. wharris that? Tuesday…maybe Thursday
when the week is about ending. (Grin).
Sometimes I do not know why, in this case me complain about
Monday's Tuesday's and Wednesday's. It is not as if the days will
evaporate any time soon. But seriously there is just something about the day
Monday… lemme think ermmmm it’s like plain cake without custard. Urgh very
boring and bland. No?! How did you spend your long weekend? Oh yes errrm those
of us in Ghana had a long weekend. Friday was Founder’s Day. Some day it was for
me. Medaye papa enye easy. I slept soo much there was no sleep left in me again.
Even my bed was frowning me. But errrr I was wondering where Brand Ghana was? Brand Ghana is an outfit supposed to promote and highlight the brand known as Ghana and everything that comes with it. And so? Where was the noise about its leaders and founders? These are the very things they should have capitalized on. Our brand “Ghana”
came from our founder or is it founders who fought for our identity as a
nation. For our existence as a people, our existence on the map of Africa and
on that of the world. They do not even understand what they are branding and
they say brand Ghana. Yawn! Such things you do not talk plenty…Causing
Financial Loss to the State anyone?!
But is it Founder’s
or Founders’? You know how I say we can
be petty….this is one of my scenarios. Nobody is taking Kwame Nkrumah and what
he did away from Kwame Nkrumah. Nobody is taking away the zeal, passion and
intelligence away from him but why do some of us want to behave as if the day
he got to Ghana and the following day there was independence. We know that is
not what happened but (lmao as usual) we are pretending because what….because
the other’s are imperialists. Because the others connived with the CIA to
remove the god? And that the imperalists have caused the downfallof Ghana.....(hahahahahahahaaahha). When will we realize that as a nation, everything that
had transpired good or bad is a lesson, the ultimate reason to move forward?
Petty and archaic that should be our middle name. Even Nelson Mandela accepted
his Noble Prize with De Clarke. Sometimes
you just need to bite the bullet and let posterity judge. Book no lie abi, History can never
be distorted even if people pretend to have selective amnesia. Instead of coming together as a nation, going
through records of all that transpired in that era and accepting the contribution
of everybody naaaaah... we close our eyes and behave like ostriches.
That is why
we are where we are, nobody wants to acknowledge what somebody has done because
he or she doesn’t have his name on it. Yes ooo biara pe ne 10%. I dare say, that in most of the advanced
countries who value their roots and history….they celebrate anybody who
contributed to their existence as a nation. There is proper documentation of
each person’s two cents whether it is good or bad. For me I am happy those who
have been tagged as imperialists ie friends and families of the BIG 5 have just
watched quietly over the years. Yes I am
soo happy that they do not fight, bicker and disturb for recognition. It is not
important koraa. it is rather funny to watch the supporters of the big 1, dance and try
to out prove themselves as to who are the true Nkrumahists. As my friend Nana
Glover aptly put it we now have a new league of Nkrumahists. Yep Nkrumahists
with Gold Rolex watches. Animal farm. Mdfskkkk and they do not even know that in their cause
to make the intelligent Osagyefo more immortal than they already have, they are
slowly beginning to make his name and legacy boring and ohhh so annoying. Waa look at some of the break out groups who supposedly bleed Nkrumah who contesting in this year's election? huh? I dey lie???
Lemme go back to founder’s day…I chanced upon the programme
as I was flipping through the channels on television. Yes that day…I was Queen
B once more. I had the remote control in
my hands. Anigye nkoaaa. So I gleefully sat auto tuning all my favorite programmes for the
night. I think one of my fav’s was a few minutes away so I decided to find out
what was on GTV our station of the nation (chuckling). There I heard some weird
by force reggae group singing on TV. Hmmm interesting I thought …so I decided
to spare a few minutes to see what they were up to. I listened, tuned off after
a while. Ha-ha it was too communist for me. Ooo I heard I missed the lecture
from the main speaker - didnt even catch his name. How sad. I wanted to comrade myself. Please that night
they are all called comrades. So me too I became Comrade Amma. That must be the
sign of love between Nkrumahists. (I promise I have a straight face on). Dr Yao
Graham of African Network (Eish is that the name of his NGO...Hmm) gave an
interesting lecture. It was the about the state of growth from independence to
present day. He took a look at cases from within Africa specifically the West
African hub. Even though it was the normal compare and contrast thing with
China, Singapore and the famous word in Ghana hahaaa Asian tigers. It was
interesting. At least the way he put it. It was after him that I tuned off….then
I came back. Then I was blinded by Mr. Comrade Kwesi Pratt. Mr. Pratt needs a whole editorial,
a whole book, a whole encyclopedia.
If Oga Prez has eyes he will see, If Oga
Prez has eyes he will hear and if Oga Prez wants to carve a niche for himself
he must run. He must run like the world is ending. Initially when I wanted to
write this piece I was in my mood of free your mind. But as I wrote and got to
this point I feel sad and sorry. The speech, the mood, the demeanor just stuck
me as a defeatist approach to a lost cause. Yes! It’s like how Pastors have
turned to gods and left God and Jesus behind in the corner. You just look at
the congregation and shake your head. So here I shake my head and laugh.
You know in one of my recent posts, I made a comment
about how I was watching National Geographic and how Cuba was changing, yes
they loved Castro to bits but they were changing and dancing a different tune. As i watched this i thought of Mr. Pratt and i imagined him watching this very documentary and instantly blaming the imperalists. Imperialists meanwhile he can sit with them and talk about Nana Akufo Addo. Oooh Wikileaks really worried some people in Ghana. Kokonsa nkoa. What is happening to Julian Assange now? hmm I have to track my BBC antenna on him again. But
in as much as the communists want to pretend the world has not changed. Its really
has. It has nothing to do with Capitalism, Socialism, Free Market blah blah now
its about survival. As an individual, as a family, as a nation and as a world. And that survival depends on common sense
whether in the provision of social amenities, the provision of technology, the
provision of whatever. Yes you think about it... every day hustling up and down what is it really about what? The thing is... it is time we accept that we have to apply common sense to make our country great and strong. Or it is not that simple?
How many days is it to elections? Arent you excited as I am...hmmm Errrr please i beg. The umbrellas if you do not support SHS that is fine but I beg. Kindly do not send those whose English need prayers and excorcists to talk against it. That indeed begs the question..peharps if they had free SHS they would have had the chance to speak well.
Back to work everybody its 1.45pm.
My lunch break is over but errr has Nana Konadu accepted the position of Flagbearer yet?
Lmao..breathe easy Umbrellas. Eye Zuuuuu

Musings on a Saturday nite ;)
Timecheck 5:45PM
it's Saturday....whoooop! Just that Monday is coming. Dull whoooop. I do not understand why we cannot add Monday to the weekend. I just do not get it. We have been able to create fantastic gadgets but we cannot just agree to add Monday to the weekend ....frown! oh my days. Please I am not lazy but Monday has something about it. Infact the weekend has its own weather tantrums, saturday is hot and sunny with the hours running fast, sunday is dull and slow with hours creeping and waving hi. Ha! Anyways what are you up too? Football? Market? Sleep? How did your day go or rather how has your day been up to this point of 5:50 PM?
I woke up to an interesting Morning, I am a twitter and Facebook addict as you already know so when I wake up in the morning one of the first things I do is to check my phone and IPad for trending topics....sometimes I think my craving for news will kill me. But seriously election year always has it spunk, whilst locally you are trying to deal with NPP and NDC internationally you are also dealing with the American Elections. The American elections is special to me because of Obama. Yes I am biased and happily so, he is black? Yes that is my selfish joy for all the slave trade nonsense we were put through. For me if he doesn't deliver koraa enfa meho as long as the racists look up and call him president.. Gleeful laugh. Ok ok I know he must deliver, America is one of the biggest economies in the world( please I cannot say they are the biggest errrrm China has overed them plenty in that area) and as a leader what you say you will do if elected, you must deliver at all costs. Ohhhh I hope my friend Enam Eyiah doesn't read this, she will kill me. I remember something I posted up on Facebook and twitter after Obama's speech and frankly I am yet to recover from the questions she asked me. Sheesh. But I still adore her and to think I have never met her. The power of the Internet!
So as I was saying I woke up to an interesting article or is it news piece from my joy online about the President of the land H. E. John Dramani Mahama apologizing to the Presbyterian church on behalf of the government communicators and spokespersons. Hahaaaaaaaaaha. Aww John D. They are worrying you eh. Don't mind them ok, next time when you are in charge as Vice President and they go about talking by heart do not turn the deaf ear...call them to order. Yes o, our president has decided to apologize on behalf of the by force resignee of the church and also Mr. Baba Jamal or is it Honourable Baba Jamal. No hon. Jamal is not a Christian, he is a practicising Muslim. He was offering his opinion on the church's position. Hmmm church's position...smh. Well if you want to mess with anyone, not the church, not a pastor, not the clergy and not especially not their moderator. Because once they stand in the pulpit and preach for two hours on Sunday, during midweek service, during revivals, during conferences and you become a topic, and you become the vice as noted in the Good Book...ah forget koraa. You are a goner. And mind you this is not any other church, it is one of the oldest churches in Ghana with a large following. And as Shakespeare rightly put it, you have no way of knowing what a person is thinking so how do you know if all the members nationwide are NPP or if they ate NDC? Hubris! Hubris! Hubris! Ah the bane of man... But Mr. President hopes that his apology will be taken in good faith and that it will end all the resignations....heheee Ohhhh he didn't say that he said he hopes it will cease fire. Well Oga I wish you luck in that department. These are the people who made president Mills RIP very unpopular and because no one stopped them, their wings are bigger than the angels in heaven so yes I really wish you luck. I can only imagine the thoughts running through your head....aww let Ghanaians make me president I will sack them. But errrrm the thing is some of us do not want you and your party.Heheee. Hmmm. Yes Mr. President we know you can't sack them now..that will be politically suicidal, no? Ah I think I have to look at you again ooo, I must check the grey hairs on your head. It is a tough, as my Nigerians friends will say.
But on a lighter note, I absolutely love your bar area in your house. Smh. No I have not been to his house but when Mrs. Clinton came for the funeral he took her round his house and the pictures revealed an excellent bar area. Leather seats...yum yum. Wonye bad. Ohhhh come off it...you who is shaking your head..when something is nice say it ooo ton. We should not be petty. Speaking of petty when will you move from the slave trade castle to the jubilee house. Oga I heard you formed a committee this kno be committee matter, close your eyes and move there. Ghanaians we will talk, me like this I will laugh at you and your party but at the end of the day....what are you? Yes you are the President of the Republic of Ghana. Primus Interpares! Massa move....Ahba! Wei ensoso ye asem!
Eiiii and NDP has done what? NDP has got its certicate to contest in this years elections? Smh again. Today I am really shaking my head....well for those who do not know, NDP is the National Democratic Party. It is made up of supporters of the champions of vendetta Mr and Mrs Rawlings. Kweeee the Rawlingses are more than Al Capone. You might mess with them now but If it takes 50 years for them to make a case they will. Aunty Konadu all the way. Awww John D. Eh?! We must check his grey hairs oooo this stress is too much. But the Rawlingses have not been bold to declare if that is their party or not. Be Bold! Tsoo boi... Do i hear a Ye? Since they received the certificate their executives have been running around saying they hope she accepts the position as their flag bearer. The coming weeks will be so interesting eh. Already one of the members of parliament under the umbrella flag who has fallen out with the current government has set the pace. Yes Micheal Teye Nyawonu has declared the government ministers as corrupt and as people who have amassed wealth in three years. Ah and he mentioned names. Ohhhh trouble don come. Next week di333 he is dead . Dissing be what. Well since he lost his bid to recontest for parliament in this year's election I am sure in his mind he has nothing to lose. So he is firing from all cylinders...hehe
You see why politics is sweet. Idey bi keke. Never a boring week especially in the beautiful Ghana that we live in.
Time check...it's exactly 6:46 pm so it is Jollof time. I am going to bless myself with Jollof from Aunty Charity. Aunty Charity is Patrick's mother and she makes one of the craziest jollofs in town. Eiiii stop coughing yes she is asew konofo. Haha but seriously she is amazing, her gargen egg stew is sosket! Wele, tuna, salmon and things. But today it is jollof time. After eating what will I do? Dunno yet but the nite is sure young! Wink!
Have a good evening people and remember not to drive drunk. Today the rates of accidents is so frightening. I had a scare today tho with of my friends... Xose Kakane . I saw a lookalike of his car that had turned upside down. Patrick and I were so frightened we called him and he was fine, and no it was not him. That had me thinking again that I really do not try. I hardly call and check up on people. Bad habit. Shameful look. Well I guess I know what to do now.
Tonight is Amake Dede's concert.....serrrrrrrrrrrrious. Love that dude! He is just fantastic , the energy he brings on stage, his live band performances. Thats why i call him dude...)ye guy keke. Yes he is truly a legend. And ohh he drives a range rover. Muahz. Sealed the deal for me koraaa. Will I be there no...but I hope everybody who attends sure has a fabulous time.

Me.

Shoeholic - me
Hello again, how was your day today? Was it fine? Boss stress? Personal stress? ....baaaa hamburg! Don't let the stress of life get to you, easier said than done eh? ..hmmm I know but you have to. My policy is if anything will kill me let it not be stress. Food, shoes, books anything but stress! What i normally do when stress gets to me is to cry. Yes I lock my self in a corner and vent in tears. After a day or two i am fine. I get back to normal. That is my remedy. It might not work for you, that is why you are you. find your own mojo and you will be fine. Maybe it's a friend you need to talk to, maybe it's comfort food, maybe it's sleep, maybe it's everything but never forget to talk to God first.
What am I doing now? I am sitting in the living room with my father. He was watching National Geographic when I should be watching Mob Wives. Ah. Well I won't say anything during the Olympics I held onto the remote so he can have the remote now after all all must be fair in love and war. Or? The documentary on National Geographic is about Cuba and its changing scenes due to western influence. Haha the socialists like Mr. Kwesi Pratt should come and hear..smh. Come to think of it Fidel Castro has outlived ten USA presidents. Wow...he is really a definition of old soldier never dies huh? Haha.
No politics today...I want to talk about shoes. Not just any shoes...my obsession with it or is it them. I can gawk at shoes all day everyday. But I wasn't like this. Nope. At some point this shoeholic was stuck to sandals because of my feet. My feet are not large or out of shape, my feet sweat. I sweat on my feet all the time. 24 hours a day . it made it soo difficult to want to wear nice shoes. I couldn't even wear covered shoes. My feet will stink and I will get foot rot. Yuck! But I used to admire all my friends and then some...in primary school, junior high, secondary school and the university. Ah people could combine their attires with their shoes or let their shoes make the fashion statement. Bijoux oh dear I always used to stare at your feet trying to catch a glimpse of what you were going to put on. There was another lady her name was Mawuse..I think she won the Miss Ghana title for that year. Ohhhh she was tall and fab and her shoes were a killer. Flats, kitten heels, stilettos ...the works. All this time yes uni, I was afraid to do the dirty. Then out of nowhere I started paying attention to reality tv. It started with Kimora: Life in the fab lane. Omg I was gone. Kimora is an ex model who was once married to Russell Simmons of Phat Farm. The show chronicles her life...for me all I saw were her shoes but mind you even then I couldn't walk in heels. Her shoe closet( I don't even want to think about the designer shoes...don't want to faint.) was fabulous, plenty shoes of different colors, shapes, designs...and hmmm there I told myself maso mehye bi. What have I got to loose, ok maybe fall down..hehe.
I have always known the shoes I wanted to wear. That one shoe that pampers your feet whilst defining the length of your leg. So I nosed around. The kind of shoes I wanted I could not afford and there was no way in hell I was going to stand infront of my parents Yaw and Woyram and say please give five million( old currency) to buy shoes. Ebei. Haha. But it did not deter me either ways it was not as if I could walk in them yet. So I went to kantamanto and bought shoes. Kantamanto di33 metuu mekye, hw3 all the boutiques go there. Dont mind them. Shuaa these boutiques. Azaa things. But i got nice stuff. Pls not the weird dead ones ooo. The store rejects. The trick with Kant is you find a good dealer and thou will be sorted nicely. I learnt to work with those. I hopscotched for three months, blistered my feet along the way until I was Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria. And I have never looked back. Now I can afford to buy myself some decent shoes. No i dnt make millions, i save and buy strategically. And now that we have platforms that support the feet...no pressure. Ah the ever lovely Christian Louboutins. Muahz to him. Alas those people you will never meet but pray for them every day that they continue to live and do their miraculous works. His shoes are lovely, ah the heels especially the six inches. Yes those shoes you do not walk about in them plenty ooo, you do not want to have your heel looking like it was used to drive a nail into a wall. Heheee. I do not have a closet full of shoes but I have a shoe rack ok I will confess a big rack..naa I won't tell you how many I own. But at least I am able to color coordinate or block with my outfits..yaay!
What is the moral of this story...mmmm, none. Just find fabulous shoes to stand out in that's all. And err I also wonder for some ladies ooo. Especially those who wear slippers or open toes. Pls if your toes are gnarly cover them up ah ah. It's very not not. My remedy for open toes and slippers is a simple French manicure. This any stylist can do. Or you can do it at home..top coat with a little white to outline the nail then you are gone. Makes the feet look tidy.
Well so there I am a shoeholic but then again I absolutely adore bags, books and chocolates. Yes and in that particular order. Nope I will not be tempted to get started on bags...the more leather , the more my heart skips a bit. Sometimes I wish Anna Wintour was my aunt. She will have no peace. The amount of things designers send to her for approval...those things that end up in her show room unused , those things will be mine. I died slowly whilst I watched September Issue. That movie needs
tissue and smelling salts.
As I said in my previous post ...I am looking for housewarming gifts but if an angel touches your heart as my birthday too is next month...size 39 is the name of the game.
Haha
Have a good nite people ;)
What am I doing now? I am sitting in the living room with my father. He was watching National Geographic when I should be watching Mob Wives. Ah. Well I won't say anything during the Olympics I held onto the remote so he can have the remote now after all all must be fair in love and war. Or? The documentary on National Geographic is about Cuba and its changing scenes due to western influence. Haha the socialists like Mr. Kwesi Pratt should come and hear..smh. Come to think of it Fidel Castro has outlived ten USA presidents. Wow...he is really a definition of old soldier never dies huh? Haha.
No politics today...I want to talk about shoes. Not just any shoes...my obsession with it or is it them. I can gawk at shoes all day everyday. But I wasn't like this. Nope. At some point this shoeholic was stuck to sandals because of my feet. My feet are not large or out of shape, my feet sweat. I sweat on my feet all the time. 24 hours a day . it made it soo difficult to want to wear nice shoes. I couldn't even wear covered shoes. My feet will stink and I will get foot rot. Yuck! But I used to admire all my friends and then some...in primary school, junior high, secondary school and the university. Ah people could combine their attires with their shoes or let their shoes make the fashion statement. Bijoux oh dear I always used to stare at your feet trying to catch a glimpse of what you were going to put on. There was another lady her name was Mawuse..I think she won the Miss Ghana title for that year. Ohhhh she was tall and fab and her shoes were a killer. Flats, kitten heels, stilettos ...the works. All this time yes uni, I was afraid to do the dirty. Then out of nowhere I started paying attention to reality tv. It started with Kimora: Life in the fab lane. Omg I was gone. Kimora is an ex model who was once married to Russell Simmons of Phat Farm. The show chronicles her life...for me all I saw were her shoes but mind you even then I couldn't walk in heels. Her shoe closet( I don't even want to think about the designer shoes...don't want to faint.) was fabulous, plenty shoes of different colors, shapes, designs...and hmmm there I told myself maso mehye bi. What have I got to loose, ok maybe fall down..hehe.
I have always known the shoes I wanted to wear. That one shoe that pampers your feet whilst defining the length of your leg. So I nosed around. The kind of shoes I wanted I could not afford and there was no way in hell I was going to stand infront of my parents Yaw and Woyram and say please give five million( old currency) to buy shoes. Ebei. Haha. But it did not deter me either ways it was not as if I could walk in them yet. So I went to kantamanto and bought shoes. Kantamanto di33 metuu mekye, hw3 all the boutiques go there. Dont mind them. Shuaa these boutiques. Azaa things. But i got nice stuff. Pls not the weird dead ones ooo. The store rejects. The trick with Kant is you find a good dealer and thou will be sorted nicely. I learnt to work with those. I hopscotched for three months, blistered my feet along the way until I was Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria. And I have never looked back. Now I can afford to buy myself some decent shoes. No i dnt make millions, i save and buy strategically. And now that we have platforms that support the feet...no pressure. Ah the ever lovely Christian Louboutins. Muahz to him. Alas those people you will never meet but pray for them every day that they continue to live and do their miraculous works. His shoes are lovely, ah the heels especially the six inches. Yes those shoes you do not walk about in them plenty ooo, you do not want to have your heel looking like it was used to drive a nail into a wall. Heheee. I do not have a closet full of shoes but I have a shoe rack ok I will confess a big rack..naa I won't tell you how many I own. But at least I am able to color coordinate or block with my outfits..yaay!
What is the moral of this story...mmmm, none. Just find fabulous shoes to stand out in that's all. And err I also wonder for some ladies ooo. Especially those who wear slippers or open toes. Pls if your toes are gnarly cover them up ah ah. It's very not not. My remedy for open toes and slippers is a simple French manicure. This any stylist can do. Or you can do it at home..top coat with a little white to outline the nail then you are gone. Makes the feet look tidy.
Well so there I am a shoeholic but then again I absolutely adore bags, books and chocolates. Yes and in that particular order. Nope I will not be tempted to get started on bags...the more leather , the more my heart skips a bit. Sometimes I wish Anna Wintour was my aunt. She will have no peace. The amount of things designers send to her for approval...those things that end up in her show room unused , those things will be mine. I died slowly whilst I watched September Issue. That movie needs
tissue and smelling salts.
As I said in my previous post ...I am looking for housewarming gifts but if an angel touches your heart as my birthday too is next month...size 39 is the name of the game.

Tuesday 11 September 2012
Omydayz was it not a few hours ago that I was talking about how some people do ridiculous stuff in this country and how I wish they could just pause and ask themselves if they are correct? Waaa look at Mr. Kwadwo Ansah Twum Boafo who publicly announces that he has resigned from the Presbyterian Church of Ghana because in his view they are very partial in their condemnation of the creation of the new constituencies. Well just a few hours ago we got a response from the church indicating that he is not a registered member neither does he pay dues or tithes. Wait I want to laugh....hahahahahahahahahahahahahs ah. Oh Kweku Baako will be shaking his head and saying ah here we go into another realm of absurdity.
We are really joking in this country. It's a no brainier that we will have this story play out in the media for the next weeks to come and the important stories of nation building will be given a back seat. In all this it is President Mahama I pity. Oh yes I pity him..he has inherited a lot of stuff from the late president and the egos are just too much at this point. Even his famous thank you tour has taken a back seat thanks to one of his own...no wait one of his government communicators. Hahaa. Let me take you back a bit for those who may not understand what the Presbyterian Church, the Trades Union Congress, the Apostolic Missions as well the NPP is saying. Nobody is trying to tell them i.e. the EC not to create constituencies they are merely saying that the time is wrong...2months to a general election, so why don't you wait for this election to be over then you can gladly create more next year. That is all the matter ooo. This common sense thing some people have not heard some before. The excuse is NPP did same but I ask what time was that CI brought to parliament? And if something was wrong years ago, why do you the wise man repeat the same mistake...what kind of thing is this. But for me that is not where my wahala is..not there at all. My wahala is Hon. Kwadwo Twum Boafo and the Free Zone Enclave.
The first time I heard of Free Zone Enclave i immediately thought of Silicon Valley in the United States. I am sure some of you are shaking your heads...Yes I say USA that is how big and grand my imagination is or is it was at that time. But Alas I entered the zone and it was terrible. Yes there are buildings and some road networks but that is as far as it goes...I mean if landscaping consists of weeds then you can imagine. And that is supposed to be our industrial hub. Yes where our companies congregate manufacture export 70% and 30% stays here on in Ghana. But that is not the case.Nothing to write home about. Wait a minute I am not saying the deteriorating is the fault of the NDC or the fault of Hon. Twum Boafo what I am saying is if you understand how critical that hub is to the development of Ghana...the first person you will look for is something who understands the words entrepreneurship, business, growth, manufacturing, and the 21st century. Do I hear a Patrick Awuah in the audience. Do I hear that amen. That area is not a cadre position or a government communication position it is the Executive Secretary to the Free Zone Board Position. Strategic thinking . Always everywhere for the wrong reasons, always on radio for the wrong reasons....when will we hear that the free zone enclave in connection with the Ghana Investment Promotion Council is has been able to effectively fill out our free zone enclave nationwide to theorist that we have to build more hubs. Is it mission impossible like Mr. Lee Ocran aka Tom Cruise wants us to believe with the Free SHS policy? So this thing about his resignation that has come to plague our eyes what at will it add to the free zone enclave?
Infact these were the people who made a lot of us angry with the president no not the current one. These were some of the things why we some of us are eager for them to leave. Everyday this kind of thing on radio, newspaper and television. Why. Lord knows how we suffered with Asamoah Boateng now we have about a hundred of his kind. Prez Mills could not ask them, but will
President Mahama have the courage?
It is high time our leaders realize that we are hungry. We are hungry for success we are hungry for the fine things we see in movies, read in books and for those of us who have had the chance to experience abrokyire seen with our two eyes. We cannot continue to sit in Accra and think that because there is a skyscraper in Accra then we are developed. I believe any politician worth his salt drives beyond Accra every month...he wont even have the time to sit in radio and saying all kind of things. He or she will be to bothered in trying to fix something for that family who has nothing but still stands in line to vote. We cannot afford to apathetic in this election or any other. I fact I refuse to hear those who say they are all the same. No they were all the same when we were gullible, now we are not. Infact we cannot afford to be...there is too much at stake.
It's time for me to find something and eat and continue my book.

It's time for me to find something and eat and continue my book.
Writers blog...or is it writers block...haha
Agooo....I have not forgetten about blogging o. I am here o, no writer's block o. I am just hot. infact hot y3mi. I am moving out of my comfort zone after 27 years on the University of Ghana campus. Yes I have lived my entire life sheltered within the walls of the great premier University. I was born in Sarbah Hall in E84. Yes no wonder when i got admission on the University of Ghana campus, my hall was Mensa Sarbah...oseyy Vikings.( haha) It is a good thing moving out but chale it will not be easy. Well it has started out not easy at all. OMG!!!! rates for rent and car prices in Ghana are a killer. Wow people are really suffering...then again it makes you count your blessings yep like get down on your knees kinda counting all the mercies. I guess I have to keep you informed on my progress, Yes i will, i will want to share all the stuff i go through so peharps i will encourage you, yes you that wants to stay and not push yourself. Life has its difficulties and you just have to brave it..I promise to share all my ups and downs...so please if you know me personally, stop buying me cake, cookies, dresses, shoes and icecream i am looking for house warming gifts. lmao
But I am soo excited, my own space, my own bathroom, decorating the space, whipping up dishes in my own kitchen (whoop whoop) my own memories built in every corner. I really looking forward to the next chapter. And by the way my son Kwadwo has got a motorway...hahaa so hilarious right. Initially i was afraid he would feel uncomfortable because of it, I also did not know how he will respond to the teasing from us and his classmates but he bravely took it in stride. He is craking jokes about it and all...giving us the motorway sign. If you ask him where his tooth is he will tell you it is broken and the dog has chewed it...who says that! I remember how i kept my broken tooth in a white polythene bag and hid it under my bed. Hmmm I wonder where that passed, I am sure my mother swept that thing away. How did you keep yours? care to share?
Isnt Ghana a sweet country? Every week new info. Ah it is soo hard to keep up now. Sometimes the things are so ridiculous you wonder if those who are involved ever pause and wonder if they themselves are correct? I mean for instance the EC deciding to create districts barely two months to elections.Sigh! As if that is not enough, you have the very Constituitonal Instrument that will enable the constituencies to become legal end up in some azonto dance in Parliament. Today it is laid by the close of day it is withdrawn then it is done the next two days only to be withdrawn that same day. It is soo similar to the kind of movies our local Denzel.. Agya Koo acts here. It is soo part 1 and 2. Still wondering when 5 and 6 are coming out. But seriously put the NDC and NPP aside, when will we take ourselves serious as a nation. When we do things in this country we seem to forget that the other nations look at us. Yes the same way we stretch our long necks and laugh at countries who do aluguntugui stuff, they same way they huff and puff with us. Aside that we must stop trying to subject our inactions and inaction to ridicule. Now when we talk of our EC we laugh or end up insulting them. We have little or no respect for Dr. Afari Djan. It is not cool...at all. And speaking about Dr. Afari Djan i do not even understand what is happening, creating new constituencies barely two months to election, it does not sound right. or it does? The argument that i hear is NPP did same. Yes they did same, but seriously look at the time it was done, more than nine months to the election. Given everybody ample time to adjust and know their left from right.
I laugh when i hear the umbrellas say that they will win and that those making noise are those who will lose. Yes NPP has made noise but is I did not know the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and The Trades Union Congress are also going to contest the seats as well or let me guess they are all NPP?! how childish! kmt.... Well for now the Umbrellas are superhuman. Fine they can assume they are superhuman because the ball is in their court but who says super humans do not have their kryptonite. Who says those who are rushing to win their primaries will win in the election?
And did I hear that Gideon Aryeequaye stood and lost? oh brother man! Sorry wai! better luck next time. And errr I am a bit conflicted..I absolutely adore Madam Hannah Tetteh. I think she is an amazing orator, still think she should have headed the Information Minstry. I was soo happy that she was going back to parliament only to realise that her bid was part of the imaginary part one and two constituencies. aww my heart. hmmm. Well we will just have to see what happens wont we.
But all that is happening reminds of how NPP lost the election. Yes when the personalities became too big, when the i know my right people ruled everything. Humans are some weird creatures, we do not learn from others, we forget too easily. what is that word again....HUBRIS!
So much has happened in the weeks of my non blogging, we have heard of the Yaw Boateng Gyan tape, we have heard of Olele, his wife and TB Joshua, Asiedu Nketia and The Preseby church...boy oh boy I am spoiled for choice. But I want to discuss Olele and his matters arising before I end this post.
Seriously this matter, how do you say it without being judgemental. This is my own beliefs so kindly treat it as such eh. I bear my own cross. But errrr I have never lived Mr. TB Joshua. I do not like him. I used to hear of him when he always makes propehecies that are obvious...come to think of it he hardly makes propecies about his country but always Ghana is his first stop. Almost three and a half years, he held some kind of authority over the presidency of this country. Even when we are playing a black stars match..someone has to call him for him to predict. Ebei. All the psychology that was spurn and wound with religion...Now we tend to follow the leader of the church and leave the Lord God behind. Who are we kidding..No one.Yes everybody including late Oga Prez had the right to believe in who and whatsover but when it is done at the expense of our country Ghana I beg to differ.
Difficult subject for me...Late Prez Mills... then before i could recover here comes the bride and groom. Richard Kingston aka Olele. Yes our former goal keeper has gone to him for prayers and on live tv his wife declared herself a witch who has tied his manhood. The first time i heard it all i said was ah illiteracy is painful. But why is the woman always the witch. Why is the mother always the mermaid in the sea. Me, Amma NaaBia Boachie- Danquah if you call me a witch or any female i know as a witch, i will just embrace it and beat the hell out of you. Mercilessly infact! Abi I bi witch. I will teach you witch sense. But seriously how?
I mean how? infact how dare you? Olele you are an old man...yes you are. Every man is appointed to be young, grow old and die..but if death comes early then ahh well...
Errr you tell us you are 28 but MRI scan dont lie so why should you.. your bones are old, you cannot obviously do the beautiful goal keeping you once did and you cannot just accept that? Why all this public invitation into your life...your wife, your children, your family, your friends all this why...do we ever think of the implications on the children. No matter the age, this is a very horrible thing to say about their mother.
And you say she is no witch, and she rather encouraged you not to accept 300,000 bribe to throw away a match? And that she was in a trance? So what should we do now...You were the one who went for prayers, You were the one who was asked to go and bring your wife, You were the one who came back to Ghana, put her in a plane to Nigeria for this to be said about her now you say what? Seriously? I pray your children forget this, I pray the woman forgives you and stays with you, I pray you have the common to come home and restrategise what to do with the rest of your life and whatever is left of your money. I really pray that you remember the marital vows at your big wedding ceremony you had just a few years ago....and most importantly i pray that you know one of the best ways to get miracles you soo desire is to get on your freaking knees and pour out your soul to the Lord. There is no other way around it.
This is an aside...why do we always assume that once someone has cut her hair and has no makeup then she is in shs and so she must be treated as such. Had a long battle with some bank girl at Zenith Bank Head Office yes the one by the National Theatre ( yes i have named and shamed). I know make up is supposed to enhance your facial features but if you end up looking like a corpse then what is the point. smh. I would rather put on make up and look flawless then look like the makeup colors bitch slapped me.
Today is Tuesday...another hot day in Ghana. Let us see what the week brings...
We will talk soon,
I am out
For now..
