Sekondi-Takoradi is a city in Ghana comprising the twin cities of Sekondi and Takoradi. It is the capital of Sekondi – Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly and the Western Region of Ghana. Sekondi-Takoradi is the region’s largest…… Continue reading CHRISTMAS IN TADI

Only You
Only you have the power to save yourself, from a perverse world; the lions den. Only you have the right to write your story, from the horse’s own mouth; how does the grass taste? Only you have the power to change the narrative, from the mundane ideologies; start already. Only you can, not your parents,…… Continue reading Only You
Belleza
Her eyes were a light shade of blue, Her lips always quivered into a grin, But when she smiled, the world stood still, Revolving around her, Her aura was riveting, And from afar her presence could be felt, She had a quiet strength about her, And yet the silence screamed so loud, She was alone…… Continue reading Belleza

When Prices Go Up After Prices Have Already Gone Up.

The quantity of tomatoes worth five Ghana cedis makes me want to scavenge my life away in the wild. Get me my spear and I’ll get to it. While I scavenge,…… Continue reading When Prices Go Up After Prices Have Already Gone Up.

Mission Possible
Like roses thriving in thorns, We don’t look like what we’ve been through. Like the lilies of The Valley, We get just what we need to survive. And like the birds of the air, We go out each day, with praises on our lips not knowing what to expect. Life stares us in the face…… Continue reading Mission Possible
Nothing I have done
It’s nothing I did or did not do, It’s nothing I said or did not say, It’s not karma trying to get back at me, It’s not the devil seeking me. It’s nothing I have done. Until today, I thought, maybe just maybe certain things happened to me because of something I have done or…… Continue reading Nothing I have done
