My Happy Valentine's Day story

By -
It's February 14 today. Many people around the world know it as Valentine's Day. I am getting closer and closer to my wedding date. So forgive me, if I talk about 'love' more and more on my blog. Because I am capable :-)

Love is in the air today. I'd been listening to as many zouk, kizomba and love songs as possible to keep me in the Valentine spirit. The point of this blog post is to share some relevant tweets which would be posted today.
I caught YFM (107.9) doing a short prose competition where folks call in and add something to "roses are red, violets are blue". The above and below are my creations. :-)


Back in the days when I used to write poems, I wrote a really beautiful love poem. I took out a couple of lines and reviewed it for today's tweeting purposes. Actually, 3 years ago, I shared the whole poem for the whole wide world (WWW) to see.
1 of my favorite songs ever is "Don't change" by Kaysha. It makes me think about a certain kind of woman (that I like and love). I can't listen to this song without repeating it. Become a fan of this legendary song today ;-)

Viviane Chidid is one of most beautiful women ever. I will never forget the day Museke gave her award and I met and took (many) pictures with her. Photo evidence is in my Moamas facebook album. She does make excellent music too. Check out this heavenly line from her "Amor" song with Philippe Monteiro.
 I wrote a blog post of my favorite African wedding songs once. This was before my infatuation with Zouk and Kizomba music though. In fact, my wife must love Zouk & Kizomba. :-) So I would have to do a "take 2" on that post.

I spent the day like I do most weekdays - working, browsing, talking, etc. I bought some Golden Tree Chocolate which I shared amongst my workmates and also gave my sister a couple. I call some loved ones, texted some others, tweeted and facebooked others, etc. I really missed using whatsapp today though. All the cool things I would have sent around paa eh?

I learnt how to say a number of things in the Sissala language.

We learnt enough things in Sissala so we could reproduce this story :-)
The funniest part of the day was when I saw some chic as I was leaving Tavern. The girl looked really familiar. I thought, "this must be the girl I met at the Ghana Fashion Awards who was Genie's friend". We stopped the car, I got out and approached her. "Genie, Genie". She looked at me funny. She wasn't Genie's friend yet she bore a stark resemblance to the lady. Same short hair cut too. I said, "Sorry, but you looked like someone I met". She replied, "but we've met before". "Huh? We've met where?" "We met at Aphrodisiac. I'm Katie". And then I remembered. "You disappeared that night". She did, I bought her a drink, danced with her a couple of times and then "she do me antenna". But here she was, I had her in my grasp now, on Valentine's Day. I couldn't take her phone number then, but exactky 5 weeks on, I got it. So, I have every reason to believe I shall see "this very hot chic" one of these days. ;-)

I've been in Valentine mood all day. Even this very blog post knows that. see :-)


The day is ending. I'm ending it very happy. I'm gonna think about my Valentine as I fall asleep. Good night y'all :-)

Official Pick-up lines to try out for fun

By -
A friend and I were discussing pick up lines the other day and if they do work, etc. They've been a few that I've wanted to use but I haven't mustered enough courage to try them. I'm still collecting my thoughts for that blog entry on women too. Earlier today, I realised my cousin had tagged me in some note full of pick-up lines and that list was hilarious. I have now run out of excuses to try some pick-up lines. After all, what do I have to lose? Don't I want to actually see what will happen? Won't I have some juicy stories to tell? I would, that's why I will be picking out of these pick-up lines next time I am inna di club or some other appropriate or unappropriate location. So here goes - I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room. Let's do breakfast tomorrow. Should I call you or nudge you? Yo Baby, you be my Dairy Queen, I'll be your Burger King, you treat me right, and I'll do it yo...

By -
Depending on which country I am in and who I am speaking to, I can have 1 out of about 7 names. You probably know my real one, but you do know my Ugandan , Kenyan , Nigerian , Ethiopian , Tanzanian and South African ones? Or my real other name which I use to call myself when I meet some lucky lady I feel like saying it to? Just in case, you happen to be in certain place or country and you feel you have to pull one of these out, let's learn how to say " What is your name " and " My name is " in 23 African languages. :-) Thanks to my friends who helped me pull this list together recently as I had missed writing blog posts such as these. Akan: Wo din de s É› n?   Me din de .. Yeah, name in Twi is "din". It might be more popular to hear people say  Y É› fr É›  wo s É› n? &  Y É› fr É› me ... which directly translates to "What do we call you? & We call me...  Ga: Te ats É› É”  kbo t É› Å‹ Å‹ ? Ats É› É”  mi..  I learnt this once but I don...

Learnt how to say "Thank You" in 23 African languages

By -
Today, I learnt how to say "Thank You" in yet another African language. So let me take a stab at seeing if I can say "Merci" in 23 African languages. And let's share some small attendant info. :-) Akan: Medaase . What you thought I wouldn't add my mother tongue? Some folks can't say what "thank you" is in their lingua francas. Such a fracas. Don't belittle this at all at all. Ga: Oyiwaladonn . I don't remember when I learnt this but I do know I learnt to say "Nnuu Ga" (I can't speak Ga) during the time I came to Accra to represent KNUST JSS in Kiddie Quiz and me and my Kumasi-living mates were testing our Ga knowledge. Ewe: Akpe . I love saying "Akpe kakaa" and I am not sure why. Dagbani: Ti pagi da . Yeap, Jemila Abdulai taught me this one. Thrice. You can also say Mpagya . Hausa: Na gode . I should have known this a long time ago but thanks to Manre Chirtau, I will not forget this one. Ever. Alafia lo! S...
