#MusicWeDeyFeel: All-time Favorites, including these from StoneBwoy

By -


Now this is our international superstar, not just being a local champion, waving the Ghanaian flag in as many lands and territories as possible. Stonebwoy has been making songs with fellow African stars, all the way to Angola with C4 Pedro. BHIM Nation! I am yet to meet Livingstone Etse Satekla, he seems like a grounded guy. He's one of my favorite musicians to listen to. Starting from when he did that Ghetto love track with Obrafour through to his push for a Grammy. 

I do like to sing Dirty Enemies featuring Baby Jet lol. But, but, friends forever.

My Name - 2017
Folks have been asking me some questions about myself the last couple of days. Some of the answers to what I do, how I do it, why I am able to do it, is because of what drives me. Ambition. This song makes me think about ambition, and what and who is needed to one there. This is one of my favorite karaoke songs. Whether in an office in Dzorwulu, a pub in East Legon, a restaurant in Cape Coast, a pub in Ho or a cafe in Kumasi. 

Ambition? I want to be remembered like Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela while not being in politics. More on this another day.


"Don't call me name. If you no hustle with me from the beginning.
Oh what a shame. Why do you want me to fail at the end of the day?
You only know my name. You don't know my story oh no no noooo
Oh no no no no no
I don't owe you nothing. Just keep pushing my thing
You don't owe me nothing. Better focus on your thing"

Sobolo - 2020
I know this is not a real song, it's like a live-band studio recording. Or maybe it's just because I am a huge fan of sobolo? Maybe.



Today is #SoboloSaturday. I have not had sobolo yet, but that is fine. Sooo ba!

Into The Future - 2023
My colleagues at the Kosmos Innovation Center agreed this was already classic after it came out. 1GAD makes songs like this, and makes them excellently.


Into the Future with chu! #IntoTheFuture. 

Honorable mentions: Everlasting, Dirty Enemies, Higher, Activate, Tomorrow, Mighty Lele, Putuu, Enku Lenu, Bawaswaba, Nominate, Pullup, etc

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 "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...

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...
