"She's selling something and it's not food she's selling"
Haba!
You can prove yourself in front of the whole world and still be called ashewo kobo kobo because you're a woman.
PSA to sugarbabies of politicians and gov't officials. When he picks u up from work today, tell him u want to role play tonight and flog Honourable when you get in that bed. Do it for us.
Kind of funny that being an African child, you can only win your freedom by injecting your parents with tiny disappointments till they eventually become immune and leave you to live your life.
Being in your late 20s into early 30s is such an interesting intersectional experience. Your mates are either building homes and/or selling wee, or getting their very first job, or unemployed &/or newly married, or still living with parents, or having their first/second baby.
Are you fully understanding that these people prepped the Lekki toll booth for a massacre by killing lights, internet & security cameras in the area and then boxing the people in? Then after people have died the governor decides to use the injured for a photo op? Humanity? Where?
For Nana Addo to fight for so long to be president only to be the worst one we've had in 65 years is really something. To build up so much momentum only to face-plant upon landing. Remarkable.
People you went to school with are becoming parents and there's you considering the financial ripple effects of this 41 cedis you're about to give this Yango driver.
Counsellor Lutterodt is not in jail. NAM1 is a free man. Gyampo still getting invited to weigh in on socio-political issues on radio/TV. Men & women who've stolen from this country are brokering deals to steal some more. But Akuapem Polo might get jail. Ok.
Kelvynboy take do me saf. How you fit take my ex( who was my woman ) go vacation. Bruh ! Ebi there I see shege, I hope I don’t do that to anybody when I blow up.
You guys are reacting this way because a bunch of kids had a party? What exactly is so "the Accra ebe 2" about these photos except the fact that most of these kids are white?
Salary transparency is discouraged and that's why no one even knows what to ask for in interviews. I wish there was a database where people could check what other people in their field/similar roles were earning.
Politics is really really..filthy.
Working in international development in this country will take you places where people exist in the type of poverty that imprints on your mind forever. +
Outside the fact that I'm just not that kind of person, the biggest deterrent to publicising my relationship is inadvertently empowering Internet azontos to feel like they can weigh in on my relationship & point out to me what went wrong & the lessons I should learn going forward
Remember what they said when we discovered Ghana had oil? The plans, the projections, the dreams they sold us. 15 years on and look at us, even worse off than then.
The speed with which this government conceived of and passed the E-Levy tax will forever astound me. Even against all of the opposition from Ghanaians.
I'll never believe that implementing things we actually need "take time". Spare me that bs.
Let's talk about Delay.
There are 4 major kinds of delay and I want you to identify which kind of delay you're experiencing.
1. Jonah Delay.
We see in the book of Jonah that God gave him a clear instruction to go North but he intentionally decided to go south.

Look. If all the money donor countries keep pumping into our economy was being honestly dispersed and used, we’d be so far beyond aid. Our leaders are stealing on such a grand scale it’s unbelievable
Saw the $1M Engineering School that Toyota built for UG with my own eyes & I gotta say, we really don’t respect what $1M actually means when we hear people embezzling in this country.
There's no need for any of this. No proper company worth it's salt should be throwing tantrums because an entry level candidate turned down their offer. Was she the only one who applied?
A Ghanaian food blogger will post a picture of a meal they’re supposed to review with captions reading “the food was okay”, “the cocktail was okay”. Okay, go girl give us nothing.
The thing about the errand intern conversation is that you can frame it as a corporate rite of passage all you want, but we all know which intern is doing gob3 runs for the entire Finance department, and it's not the dadaba one. And that's the whole point.
Men will be the first to assert with everything they are that cheating is just meaningless sex, but you try having some meaningless sex for yourself afterwards and next thing you know his boys are trying to wrestle a tablespoon of perming cream from his mouth.
Ghanaian food bloggers I promise you not everything is supposed to "melt in your mouth". Fried shrimp shouldn't be melting in any body's mouth.
Find more adjectives, I'm tired of these captions.
this is what their dispatch rider sent me when he told me he was charging 30 cedis to Abelemkpe and I said he should give the food back to them, I'll send an Uber to pick it up.
Like this tweet for a free subtweet from me. I shall also be grading your avatars out of 10 based on artistic appeal and overall niceness. Please don’t air me. Thank you all.
I've decided to pair my writing skills and my love for romance, use them for good. hire me to write your wedding vows/"how we met" stories. For a small fee, you'll get a good amount of "awws", an appropriate amount of laughs, and there won't be a dry eye in the house.
And on the topic of house parties I hope this is the year you guys stop that stupid thing you do where you bring cheap booze to a BYOB party, then when you're leaving you look for the more expensive unopened bottles that other guests brought to take home with you.
I was discussing with my colleagues the other day, and it’s interesting to see how trends(and social media by extension) have altered the wedding landscape in Accra.
You guys, please tell your friends to stop recording things for the snap while they're driving. Please. You really think you could swerve death in your car with your fancy driving skills till it happens to you. People have lost their entire families, lost their lives.
Just stop.
If you're a woman with a big ass and have your hair dyed and you get entangled in a harassment/assault issue, in the eyes of the public, it'll always be your fault. If your ass is big, you can never be the one who was taken advantage of.
Since I started planting my own trees ~5 years ago, every time I see big trees, first thing I wonder about is how old they are, who thought to plant them there, and sometimes where this person is now.
Good morning. Today, choose drama. Choose violence. The highroad is gridlocked with people suffering chest pains from their own decision to be the bigger person.
I have an idea for a podcast called Today At Work, where people will send in letters or soundbites detailing problems and dilemmas they're facing at work , and (my co-hosts and I) try to help them with a solution.
Seeing people who earn the same salary you do taking care of spouses and kids meanwhile there's you doing speculating about whether a certain place is worth going cos it's a 53 cedis uber trip to get there.
This is dangerous. Considering the fact that no medical reports have confirmed this and you've come to out this here like it's fact, while the girl apparently still needs the donations. You could be putting someone’s health in danger.
It's interesting to see how we inherit the "I went through this unideal thing and so you must go through it too" trait we abhor in the older generation so much
What happened to just watching things because they were fun? Now everyone is picking entertainment apart looking for social justice in every movie, every show, every song, every THING. It's tiring. Aren't you tired of looking for offence? Can't you just enjoy things?
“Finally, I would like to thank my wife. About half of these stories are from before I met her and half since, and I’m convinced if you line them all up in the order they were written, you could pinpoint the moment where my heart became whole.”
Not that scary if you consider relationships as living things that respond to stimuli, grow, evolve, die. It's the circle of life. Feed and care for what you want to maintain.
i'd argue that you even miss a man MORE when you're out with another. something about tasting spice makes you also want sugar. that's why we have dessert.
We only get paid 12 times a year. 12 times in 365/366 days.
Deep that.
The 1,500 you earn, they are going to give it to you only 12 times. And you’re supposed to stretch it over 350+ days.
Can you imagine?
You’re supposed to build a life with 18,000 a year, every year.
There's clearly no straight answer to this, but if you want to justify your right to go on dates with interested guys while you're in a relationship yourself, apply the same amount of rationality when trust issues arise and your partner decides to dip.
Hope next year you all finally start to pay attention to your lovers and partners when they talk to you and you learn to gauge their needs/wants, instead of coming to ask the rest of us to generate gift ideas out of thin air when their birthdays are close.
