CAN I BE ME?


I have always loved the artiste by name Sia. She is actually my best so far, second to King Sark. I love her for a number of reasons but most paramount of all is for the fact that she does what she wants to do without much influence of the media. She has so many songs but relatively fewer music videos . Even her cover arts are unique, because she does not show her face, and is known for that. 
In one of her songs with the title “Bird Set Free”, she actually tells that she does not care if she sings off-key, because she finds herself in her melodies. She adds that she sings for love and for her, and she is as free as a bird set free. 


This is a life I wish to live but can’t. I started a number of things to share my real thoughts and ideas with people. All these, including my WhatsApp account have me checking and crosschecking everything I post. I do not wish to be careless but real. I cannot talk about others but I can only imagine the number of people living and walking in the same shoes as me. 

Are our acts and thoughts that scary? I know a number of people who think the same as me, but these people are very careful not to let anyone in on their ideas. Some people in a time or another have referred to either me or my ideas as radical, but they are mine all the same. 


I ask, is there a place for me in this world?, are those people who told me to write actually ready to tap into my world of darkness?, won’t they be the same people to put me to the cross when what they know about me becomes public knowledge and act like they never knew? . I love music and related knowledge, and almost everyone close to me knows this, but the moment I post anything related to music, many people troop in to tell me to take it down since it does not behove of my personality. Is this actually true?, what if by that, people get attracted and actually think that it is possible to be “youth” and still find acceptance in our society? Am I in this alone?

GOTTA GO STUDY SMALL…….. meet you again soon!!!

GANG FIGHT

GANG FIGHT😡 I passed through my high school quite peacefully. In Real Amass, my class was considered the “ladies’ class”, since it had so many ladies. My year group for example had twice the gents, plus a little more of the ladies. I cannot actually remember the exact figures though. Some called me “kubolor” which is the colloquial for, but not exactly the word “truant” in English. I disagree though, I just did not like sitting for long hours or following routine. More so, I had my ways of justifying my absenteeism in the class. Since this isn’t the reason for the work, I would save the explanations for later.  The topic might get you wondering whether I am probably here to talk about the effects of gang fights or something related to that, but no. I am giving an account of my involvement in a gang fight, and to express my unreserved pain, anger, feeling of stupidity and disappointment in my abilities after taking a reply to a punch in a bad way. It landed straight

RELIGION AND THE (YOUTH OF) 21st CENTURY

RELIGION AND THE (YOUTH OF) 21st CENTURY I have always had this in mind, and tried to understand it anywhere possible. Religion as we know it expects us to understand some things without actually knowing the complete ins and outs of it. Islam and Christianity are very prevalent in the part of the world I come from, and I know for sure that in Christianity, one is told that without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, some Divine concepts cannot be understood. In Islam, belief in the 'unseen' is part of making your faith a complete one. The 21st century world is also full of Scientific and technological advancements. In science, having 'faith' in something alone to prove its existence and potency is not considered conclusive, unless it is verified through acceptable methodologies. The youth, or the people of today are drifting away from religion, as was practised a few years ago. The devotion the youth of today have is generally not comparable to that of the older

Taxi Time One

EPISODE 01  THE SADDENED DAUGHTER Under the same title, I would be presenting my experiences in commercial vehicles. Not just in taxis but in buses, mini vans, and even flights.  I would also present from time to time, happenings right before and right after getting aboard, which demand sharing. I would also talk about some personal reflections during such times. In this first episode, I would talk about one of my experiences in a taxi from Agbogba to Madina junction, all suburbs of Accra in Ghana. It was on the 17 th day of August this year and I had to report to school on this same day so I was floating in my own thoughts. I boarded this taxi and after about 10 minutes’ drive, another woman came aboard the same taxi. She engaged in a conversation with the other passenger and the driver. As usual, I got busy on my phone since I am not a fun of conversation with random people in taxis. After a while, the woman had a phone call which caught my attention. I was not
