ROAD TO BEREKUM

Image
So I've been commuting from my little town in Konongo to Berekum for about three years now. Here's a little chronicle of some of the unfortunate events I've witnessed so far... Enjoy... Or maybe not! 😂 # Part 1   S o there I am in this "Nana Aberewa" trortro bound for Berekum. It's uncharacteristically sunny this morning at 8am and the mate's body is stinking in kinship reciprocity. I know it's going to be a long day today because  there are only three of us in the vehicle at the moment. When exactly "botosses" will be shifted for the car to be full is only a mystery for the driver and his mate to unravel and the soon-to-get-restless passengers to dish about. I whip my phone out to check if I missed any calls or messages. There are non. Then there norrrr this mister appears out of nowhere at my side of the window. His b.o is similar to that of a fish in an electricity deficient cold store. It dawns on me, that it's the fir

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

          Heya guys, we've been silent these past few days right? Well, don't vex 'cause yours truly and the team were bouncing ideas around as to how to make our little family here grow and good news is, I think we cracked it! Today's  piece is the beginning of a segment we've introduced called, #HaveYourSayWednesday.  This means from this Wednesday, the next and all other series of Nexts to come, we'll be publishing ideas from different people and diaspora across the length and breadth of our noble country. So sit back, read and enjoy as we serve you delicious content after content after con...😉       A ll is not well. YOU SEE SIR,  I wanted to become a doctor when I was in junior high school but I had to change it when I completed because General Arts  became more logical to my family and this decision was dependant on the income of my parents.I developed an  interest in Economics when I was in senior high school so much that  even I was the only stu

Hi there my lovelies! Wah guan?(yeah I'm feeling pretty Jamaican right now😀) It's been a while since we last talked don't you think so? Awurabena is here to set that right with this perspective-altering piece...this...this... You read on to find out what I speak of 😉 M y stomach did this funny gimmick it always does when I was in a hyper induced state. You know, where it seems to suddenly be displaced from its original position and commence these funny gurgling sounds, as if announcing to the world of its unappreciated presence. The way that could be embarrassing eh. But in your case I didn’t mind at all. I mean, it was love at first sight the moment I laid my eyes on you and you laid yours on me. As usual, my stomach didn’t hesitate to announce its presence. It was more like it was letting me know, ‘Charley , this is it,...the girl you’ve been waiting for…’ and immediately I could feel my insides turn to Jelly. Like literally, I couldn’t move. You were like a g

Hi there guys! How was your week??  Ours was fantastic by God's grace . Last week, Awurabena couldn't come through with Broken but this week, she has penned this to reclaim your love! Do give it a read and let's hear your thoughts on the issues raised in the piece yeah?  But before, here's where we let off last time: And at that very moment as well, Jeremie knew she had found a friend…someone whom she could trust…someone who would understand her…she was certain of that now… And so that night Jeremie did something she had never thought she’d find strength to do. She recounted her past to Jonathan... Sometime in the past  J eremie had been no ordinary girl. Haleyview was a small countryside town and everyone there could attest to that fact. She was unique and that was even an understatement. For one, she was so much on fire for God. Jeremie was never one to compromise her Christian principles and though many thought she was too prim and proper, they

Yo fam! Awurabena could not make it today with the part 3 of Broken but do not be dismayed la , Michael is here to save the day 😁 I dedicate this piece to Afia Lovena who encouraged me to write it! 😊(I only hope I didn't disappoint 😂)...I particularly enjoyed writing this piece and I know it goes without saying but do enjoy reading  it and don't forget to let me hear your thoughts after yeah ?😉 The greatest US president ever, Abe Lincoln was not the most handsome fellow and aesthetically pleasing man anyone ever saw.(Seriously guys, he's been called a gorilla before!)  He came from humble beginnings and used to read by the midnight lamp after being out in the woods working all day! It's through his midnight studies that he taught himself law and became a lawyer and after trying a myriad of times, quite unsuccessfully I might add, to be a president he finally succeeded.  On his last try to be the president, there was a man called Edwin M. Stanton w

Hi there Fam! How are we???😀....Here's the sequel to last week's Broken. We hope most of your questions will be answered by the end of this episode saf! 😉... Enjoy!  "For what shall we say in response to these things? If God be for us, who can stand against us? " Romans 8:31 J onathan had being a pillar of support throughout the period of her daughter's funeral and even after that. He'd taken charge of all the arrangements and had made sure the ceremony went on without any hitches. Jeremie had however not been too surprised at how he had been there for her and the way he had looked out for her and made sure she was alright. I mean this was Jonathan. It was his nature. She hadn't known such love since God knows how long and she suddenly found herself longing for something she had closed her heart to in years past... Once again she shuddered at the memories that crept stealthily into her mind like a thief at night. Of late, with the mo

She calls it "Broken" but exactly what is broken no de3...you read to find out... Enjoy! 😁 "For what shall we say in response to these things? If God be for us, who can stand against us? " Romans 8:31 S omething suddenly snapped within her. Like literally. Something snapped. It was almost as if she had had it coming and just like that it had happened. Staring into nothingness, she couldn't help but wonder why. She had come to the beachside to calm her nerves but even the silence on that night wasn't so quiet. The tranquility she earnestly sought for wasn't readily availa
