#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

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

Introducing REACH-Ghana on the occasion of World AIDS day

I was notified about the website for REACH-Ghana today and I must say I am impressed with how far this organization has come in the last 4 months following BarCamp Diaspora at JHU-SAIS in Washington, DC. A few young passionate Ghanaians with interest in the health sector came together after a healthcare breakout session during July's BarCamp Diaspora and started investigating how they could contribute to Ghana's health sector. Their enthusiasm has given birth to Representatives for Equal Access to Community Health-care (Ghana). I love the use of the Adinkra symbol in the REACH logo. After my previous experience with Kasahorow, Museke & GhanaThink, I am a big fan of incorporating Ghanaian symbols in every way. REACH's logo uses the Adinkra symbol "Boa Me Na Menboa Wo" (Help me to help you), which represents cooperation, interdependence and community. You can see the tenets of REACH's vision in this symbol and the name itself. The symbol embodies the organ

By -
Today is my birthday. For all of you who've been wishing me Happy Birthday, I will like to say Thank you in these 23+ African languages and in these 16+ non-African languages . I asked my friends for how to say Happy Birthday in African languages. Some exist. Now you can wish birthday celebrants in an African language. With some help from  my African friends , we have a list to work with. I wish I could get to 30 but I've tried ahh.  Akan: Mema wo awoda pa. Mema wo awoda mu anigye.    You have another version? Add it in a comment. :-) The +kasahorow  gurus like  +Paa Kwesi  taught me this. Ga: Afi o afi.  You have a better way to say it, Let's hear it. Otherwise, this from +Naa Oyoo Quartey  & Naa adjeley hold. Ewe: Dzigbeza bÉ”kɔɔ nawo!  h +Enock Seth Nyamador  of  +Planning Wikimedia Ghana  wished me this via Twitter today. So I didn't even have to ask gurus like +Seyram Freddy Ahiabor  &  +Doris Anson-Yevu  yet :-) Swahili: Siku ya ulizaliwa njema.
