Hello my pipuuuuu!!!

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.

BTW, if you are squeamish or in the middle of eating fufu, you may want to wait before watching this.

Ehhhh...we don reach Slovenia

Ok, further proof that there is no corner of the world that you cannot find a Ghanaian.  Greenland oh, China oh, Cuba oh, Turks and Caicos oh, we dey all those places and we dey represent well-well; going to school, working hard, raising productive kids, not embarrassing your family, etc.--you know, all that stuff they told you when you were about to board  the plane at Kotoka!  That is of course with the exception of "those ones"...you know the ones I mean--those ENIMGUASIFUO!


Anyway, as I was saying, Chaley, the Slovenians have elected a son of the Gold Coast as mayor (Click to see the story).  We throwey salute to Dr. Peter Bossman who according to CNN "beat out an incumbent Sunday to become the first black mayor in Slovenia's history, securing 51.4 percent of the vote in a run-off election."  


Ehhh Dr. Bossman you have done well, in fact I will dance to "Memma me Wrenfi"  in your honor (the song says I will not forget what God has done for me--see below).


So when will you invite us all for fufu celebration?  Just saying...

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is the NPP Candidate for the Next Presidential Election

According to Peace FM Online, Nana Akufo-Addo has won an "overwhelming victory in today’s election."  Peace FM goes on to say that the "response of Ghanaians at home and abroad have been extremely exciting, cheerful and confident with strong indications that the [New Patriotic Party (NPP] re-electing one of its biggest political assets of the Busia/Danquah/Dombo tradition as our Presidential candidate is poised to recapture the power we lost nauseatingly and unnecessarily to the NDC in 2008.


So for those who have no idea what is going on, this means that he will be NPP's candidate for the next presidential election in Ghana, which will occur in 2012.  


Okay ohh, don't say I have never given you the latest filler...Later!

Man, I had to come back on the scene HARD and this is just the way...SEX ENHANCING DRUGS IN GHANA
