New terms--VIM SWAGG

In fact, I have come up with a new term-- #vimswagg

I was talking to my girl @AIDgirl and we were talking about the level of vim we all applied to the Atlantic Lobster issue and then it came to me...we applied much vim so we are on our #vimswagg

So Vim Swagg means you are on you are on your grind and you handle your business with much vim!  So handle your schoolwork, job, business, etc. with #vimswagg

BTW, vim mean force...so if you apply vim to something it means you apply energy and force to something!

Use it but oya give me credit!!!

Racism in Ghana...Errrrrrm, My Pipu Tell Me This Is Not True!!!

When it's coming, it's doing...

WHITES ONLY CLUB IN GHANA

I am actually going to reserve my rant until I confirm from my peeps living in Ghana that this is true.  Charley if this is true we better get to action to stop this nonsense!  Not that I would be surprised because certain groups in Ghana have long acted as if they are superior because of skin color. Can you imagine?!?!?

Here is the link: Oya Check This Link

My pipu, the vim we use for other things better be applied to bringing this mess to light and putting a stop to this ASAP!

Mtcheeeeeeeeew

This is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life...a woman who has gone beyond her due date gives birth after prayers and within minutes. In the church...Chei!

The video speaks for itself, my words no go fit do am justice.
