A selection of @Abocco tweets May 2009

By -
What happened in my diary in May 2009? We have an idea thanks to Twitter archive :-)
This was the third Stanford African Business Forum (SABF). I wasn't going to miss it as I was there. I do remember that I would have almost missed the start of it though if I had spent some more time with my ex. In hindsight, I probably should have. Yeah, you wanted to hear about the forum itself. I made a small mention here. Hope you clicked the first link before this one.
We should be tired of playing catch up. Let's do something new. Like taking something personal and making it our own.
I hadn't gotten used to live-tweeting yet, so as many others at SABF. So we didn't have many tweets to show. I did tweet my feedback about the event. See Africa Differently. +Henry Barnor
I remember that goal! It was going to be a The Red Devils against the Blaugrana & Messi against C. Ronaldo final though. d
For your benefit. Paul Kagame. Patrick Awuah. Later, I also wrote about Leti Games, building computer games in Africa.
Haha! Learning about Follow Friday for the first time.
Here are those blog posts. Inye, Isibini, Isithathu.
Re-tweeted.
It still hasn't happened.
One of those things we did when Twitter was still relatively new.
I love writing about sports. I'm going to re-read this one soon. +Mac-Jordan Degadjor +Olasupo Johnson +Tayo Oguntebi +Nana Menya Ayensu
Prayers were answered.

It's really sad that I can't even see what I was replying to and why I would post a tweet mentioning a fine lady and simply say :-). :-D
Google Maps has continued to grow. +Jeremiah Kamau +Evans Arabu should take a good amount of credit.
And then I posted "I am gonna make 12 meals out of $20. now that is what I call economics. Beat that!"
"We face neither West nor East, we face forward".
+Yvonne Darkwa-Poku :-)
This was the day I started supporting Barcelona in addition to other teams.
Oh, so we actually had July 18th as the date for #bcdiaspora once? It happens. +Jemila Abdulai
There is ECOWAS day! I'm celebrating it more seriously in 2014.
I cooked all this myself. Bossu kena.
Those spelling bee kids are something else. Kennyi repped Ghana hard. +Kennyi Aouad.
Haha! Sorry, I had to laugh. The only thing that would beat my best food is free food. ;-)

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
