A selection of @Abocco tweets from July 2009

What happened in my diary in July 2009? We have an idea thanks to Twitter archive :-)
I wasn't impressed with the humongous English approach these Accra movies were taking. I was excited about Ghanaian movies in general then. Not so much now. My bro +Kofi Ulzen-Appiah is a huge fan though, especially of the Kumasi movies.
Americans get together on their Independence days. Do Ghanaians get together on their Republic days? +Kwabena Akuamoah-Boateng
This was really great. My love for Google was growing. +Henry Barnor +Justin Dakorah +Nana Kwabena Owusu
Ha! Just like the other one. No one should go tell K. D that I have forgotten her real name.
What a day in sports this was? Roger Federer officially became my fave tennis player ever.
Yeah, I tried this. I tweeted "Chema chajiuza, kibaya chajitembeza".
Haha. The word 'tiabs' is just so cool. Biking was fun. Kept me in great shape.
I can't even remember who this woman is. I have done some things in my life. :-o
Obama-mania had taken over Ghana. The vocab Obamable had been introduced. Africa's future is up to Africans. I had an idea for +Joy 99.7FM's Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. I was in Vegas during this time o! I did a round-up of blog posts by Ghanaian bloggers around this time. Mover & Shaker.
When I finally got one, I was like why the heck hadn't I gotten one earlier. See how I didn't mention Android here. When the time came, I got an Android phone. I was a Google lover then, and now.
Yeah, what I just said. I half-wished to work at Google. It's a bit unbelievable now that I worked there.
I went with my brother and a number of Stanford friends. Stanford rocks right? How many universities would play host to world-class soccer teams?
Kaish! We do SMS registrations long time. Big ups +Henry Barnor!
+Kofi Ulzen-Appiah, misumobo!
I'm speaking at the +BloggingGhana meetup today. It's awesome to see how far it's come. +Elorm Billy-Awittor +Kajsa Hallberg Adu +Mac-Jordan Degadjor +Edward Amartey-Tagoe
We need another Barcamp Diaspora or DiasporaCamp. +yorm ackuaku +Thelma Boamah +Kirstie Kwarteng +Esi Quayson.
We created a hashtag for Raymond's birthday.
The day finally arrived. It was a resounding success! +Christine Yieleh-Chireh +Nii Simmonds +Misonu Amu
Blood is thicker than water. Family is thicker than friend.
It used to be the possy cool grub in Presec. It was the wicked combo grub in Stanford. Today, it's the 'it's late in the night I don't want to spend time in the kitchen let's eat Indomie' grub. cc +Esi Cleland-Yankson +Seyram Freddy Ahiabor
Hehe. Things I say.

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
