A selection of my first tweets from 2008

By -
So, I found out a way to find my very early early tweets :-) I started tweeting in October 2008. I wanted to share some selected tweets from 2008 with you. In a blog post.
I've been tweeting messages like from very early on. Always would use platform to carry messages like this. Especially if they can get retweeted :-)
I was quite obsessed with Barack Obama before. Can you blame me? He reminded me of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Why were we not done yet? Can you sit there and say we're done now? 5 years later? Okay.
I took to Twitter to celebrate a small victory. I love trivia, I don't pay too much attention to it now but I loved it a lot in primary school and junior secondary school in KNUST.
I don't remember where I was but this happened. I don't see nothing wrong... with a little bump and grind. Bardman. PartyCrew mi a long time :-)
It came 3 years later. In this form. Don't judge me. You don't know me.
Did it eventually. And start paying less attention to Facebook, I just sync my tweets to Facebook and concentrate on posting there.
Of course, I've been in love for a long time. But after visiting the GooglePlex and especially after going to Barcamp Africa there and seeing Google's work on and in Africa, the decision was made. Would always be a Googler.
I met my ex-girlfriend at this concert o! I thourougly love Ali Kiba's music as well.
Ghana dey love peace paa. I am not as excited about peace campaigns as I am now as I was in 2008.
Yeap. I saw Jerry John Rawlings speak on a panel at Boston University in 2004 and loved his submissions. Have liked him more and more since then.
Yeap, folks in the Diaspora like to watch local TV in Ghana. And folks like us like to tweet about it too.
Lol, look at me hoping that Henry Addo was tweeting in a trotro. On election day :-)
More tweets about Ghana's elections in 2008, but still no hashtags.
We need to get write-ins for Ghana presidential voting. That's to say those running for president all suck and we'd rather have some other guy be running. Including the fictional character B. K. Oduro. KSM won't be bad at all. Noko Fio oo!
Yea. Evidence. NPP beating out NDC in a poll in the Volta region. It happens.
Disappointed. Then and now. The stomach direction voting we do in Ghana is quite disappointing.
I was excited about this paa. I think I even blogged about it. Yes I did, Letta to Osagyefo - Samia Nkrumah the wonder aba!.
That's happened before. But that also meant I would get to experience the run-off while in Ghana as I missed the December 7 election being in the USA (California).
I miss Yankee. It's such a melting pot. I could experience different cultures and be amongst different groups of people all the time. But hey, give me Ghana 233 days each year.
Tsooboi! It's a rallying cry. A call to action. Less talk, more action. Them kind things.
I didn't use to tweet about what I was eating. But this tweet is full of excitement. Some of my happiest times in life is when I have arrived at Kotoka airport in Accra and am entering Ghana. If you know me, you'd understand.
Of rourse, but you knew this already. You dunno? Okay, count me quoted.
Myjoyonline was late to the party. We be the gangareas who see this long time. Visionaries :-)
It surely became extremely popular for about a couple of weeks. And then died off. They should have gotten a song made for them like Tuabodom, which I blogged about and discussed with others.
A re-run-off! Unheard of! Am done!

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
