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

By -

In this tournament squad of musicians, this spot came down to Usher & Ne-Yo. Or this post for that matter. Usher won because he sang about waakye. I am lying? Have you seen this meme or clip before? There is a TikTok trend about this too o!

I love American R&B and Usher is one of the all-time best. He even came to Ghana to perform at the Global Citizen Festival. No, I have not met him before. I have not even tried to go to any concert he is performing at. iTunes was good for me, YouTube is the ish. Let's enjoy the music, or the groove, if you wanna move. 

U Remind Me
I heard this song in 2001 before I went to the US to attend MIT. This song makes me think about fleeting crushes, women I saw and thought were cute and never really got to meet. "Yo, I ain't seeing you in a minute, but I got something to tell you, listen"


"You remind me of a girl, that I once knew. See her face whenever I, I look at you.
Won't believe all of the things she put me through. This is why I just can't get with you"

Sigh. Lessons, experiences, decisions. "You need to sit down, this might take a while".

Love In This Club - 2009
You know I love to party right? I have spoken about partying several times through PartyCrewGH. Actually, I think I love to club. I have been in clubs in countless Ghanaian and American towns. This is an anthem for people who like to dance and go crazy in clubs, not just sit there and order bottles they don't have money for and run away. Yes, I went there. And besides, this song is about waakye. Listen.


In this club, hey! Bard man. Love in this club. And I don't care who's watching, waakye, watching!!!!

My Boo - 2004
Usher did this song with another American favorite of mine, Alicia Keys. What a great duet! When I was watching the video for the first time, I thought Alicia and Usher were actually boos. Acting lol. Watch.


"See, I don't know 'bout y'all, but I know about us (oh!)
And, uh, it's the only way we know how to rock"

"It started when we were younger, you were mine. My boo (my boo).
"Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes (yes, it is!)"

What else do you want me to say?

Honorable Mentions: Yeah, There Goes My Baby, U Bad, Confessions Part II, U Don't Have to Call, My Way, DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love, Burn, Nice & Slow, Moving Mountains, Trading Places, OMG, Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home), 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 "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
