A birthday spoken word piece for my ex-boss Kyenkyenhene Kwabena Boateng


Today is my ex-boss’ birthday and I can’t afford a gift that suits his personality. I decided to play with words and share my first impression about him, how we became close and also let him know how much I appreciate him for the hard training he took me through.

 

The first time I met him I was so pissed

A boss, so difficult and super strict

Disliked by many at first sight

Why does he bullshit many scripts?

A question I asked out of plight

 

So, I got closer and became a sister

Then I discovered he is a treasure

Not just, an ordinary Mister

And ever since, it's been my pleasure

To appreciate God's gift of a son so bold

One with a heart as pure as gold

And radiates like the rays of the sun

He is delightful and full of fun

 

The days he stood by me when I was down

And made me smile on days I frown

This is why he deserves the crown

He is a king, an exception to the rule

All the same, he does not misrule

 

Many think he is too gritty

So, they come just for a quickie, Oh, what a pity

I don’t know why, but I became so sticky

Is it because I am so picky?

Or it’s because we’re both clicky?

 

He has a personality so vivid

So, he was envied and made enemies livid

Thus, they planned to get him stripped

So, they plotted evil to get him gripped.

Forgetting he is a rare being

Very uncommon unlike beans

A gentleman so daring

With a sweet personality and such a darling

 

Oh, what joy that it is his day

In this possibility month of May

Shall we forget those pussyfooters

They are bitter like failed shooters

 

Kyenkyenhene Kwabena Boateng,

I am thankful our path crossed

Though at times I behave like virgin-pussy

You never ceased being so pushy

Like an elder brother, you held my hand

On higher grounds, you made me stand

 

And Today, I am super proud

Just because, I am well endowed

So, my thank you, will always be loud

Hey Senanu come let’s buy him a fork

So, he feeds on his enemies’ pork

 

Now, my dear let me say some prayers for you!

From myself and your many trainees

God bless you and make you succeed

May God replace in thousand folds

Everything you lost along the way

May your foes become bitterly cold

When they hear of your stories being told

Goodness and mercy Shall chase you all your life.

So happy birthday, my SWEET Ex-Boss

 

Nana Addo says CORONAVIRUS so stay at home

Eat dawadawa and some kontomire

Wu di nsua woy3m bey3 mer3

But don’t forget to get some beers

For a better tomorrow, let's say cheers

The Black comedian who has become Japan’s ‘most unlikely’ star

Image
In a country like Japan where only about 1.3 percent of its population is made up of non-nationals and noted for “discriminating” against foreigners, every person of Black descent will undoubtedly struggle to survive. But a Black guy who finds himself in Japan has defied all odds to become one of the top rising comedy stars in the Japanese capital, Tokyo. 30-year-old Ike Nwala is a Nigerian-American who appears on TV almost every day. Just like all Japanese stars, Ike Nwala receives equal attention and treatment from fans and people he meets in his career as a comedian. As a member of popular comedy troupes, he performs live shows, does commercials and appears on variety shows as well. He recounts how his status as a Black makes him exceptional and how he eventually became a survivor among Japanese comedians. According to him, when he first started, it was little difficult but was encouraged to do more when he realised people were paying extra attention to him. He explains, “I wasn’

Don’t make a difference in people’s lives by stealing their money - Bawumia

Image
Vice President Dr. Bawumia Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has advised leaders of institutions to serve with humility and dedication so as to make positive differences in the lives of their subordinates. According to the Vice President, because leadership comes with a time limit, it is very important as a leader, to understand the God given responsibility of serving and honouring his people in truth. “… The clock is ticking. Four years, eight years, you have to account for what you have done and if we are wise in public service we should understand that we are there for a limited time and we should use that time to make a difference in the lives of people,” he noted. He explained that making positive difference does not mean leaders should steal money from the same people whose 'destinies' have been entrusted into their hands. Speaking at the Harvest Chapel International in Accra, Dr. Bawumia lamented how leaders have become obsessed with wealth creation and thus h

Social segregation cause of Ghana's backwardness - Yaw Nsarkoh

                                          Yaw Nsarkoh -  Executive Vice President of Unilever Ghana/Nigeria The Executive Vice President of Unilever Ghana/Nigeria has opined that Ghana remains backward demoralised and underdeveloped because of the social segregations among people in the country. Addressing a gathering of Old Achimotans in Accra on the topic: "A nation divided... That all may be one", Mr Yaw Nsarkoh mentioned a number of occurrences that bring division among occupants of a nation.  He laid emphasis on sanitation as a key indicator of underdevelopment naming open defecation as a demeaning and insanitary condition that is a common practice among Ghanaians. “To illustrate why we remain behind and demoralized, I choose one damning statistic as a key marker for underdevelopment. Ghana has been ranked second after Sudan in Africa for open defecation. If I need to put it more starkly, 3 out of every 5 Ghanaians are subject to this demeaning and insanitary condi
