What does MVA stand for?

By -
I don't know how this all happened but for reason my friend Jason and I were wondering what MVA meant. So I took to twitter and Facebook & Whataspp and asked. What does MVA stand for? Who can come up with the best meaning for an MVA acronym? Suggestions welcome. :-) Here are the responses I got with a little story to boot.


MVA looks like MVP. I'm sure Nana Kwasi was thinking so when he got us going. Lolan, who is an Pan-African as they come, chipped in with one that will stick with me for a long time. Enock proved he was an Innovative African Mind by releasing these - In the words of another friend, he trusted Paakoti would say things like this. PaaKoti claims he doesn't know that many words that start with V. :-) PaaKoti didn't give only 'kotibortor' meanings, he also gave these. I would never want to throw vim away but I would sure love to be a Meat-eating Vegetarian :-) Kobby found my tweet somewhere and gave us an MVA meaning for the ages - "Magnanimously Verbose Assimilations" Here are a couple of good ones from facebook. Paa Kofi said "Most Valuable Akonfem". David and Jemila said "More Vim Aguan". From Whatsapp, we got "Most Valuable Ass", "My Vim Ass", "Most Vim Animal". While waiting for Jason to get his food at Starbites, I asked the waiters for an MVA meaning. Results below - What is your favorite MVA meaning? I like "More Vim Aguan", "Monday-morning Very Annoying" and "Magnanimously Verbose Assimilations" in that order. Post a comment with other meanings. :-)

Hehe, it seems we will just have to settle MV as More Vim and look for some word for the A part. Thanks Nii. :-)

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

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

Learnt how to say "What is your name" & "My name is" in 23 African languages

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't rem
