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

£73m loan for Old Fadama relocation project missing - Zongo Minister

Image
Minister for Zongo and Inner City Development, has revealed that some monies allocated to the improvement of communities such as Old Fadama were misappropriated, a reason for the ill state of such communities. Alhaji Boniface Abubakar Saddique, who was then the Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing said, he signed a loan of £73 million in 2007 to relocate the Zongo community at Old Fadama to a new settlement at Adjen Kotoku in Ga West Municipal District. Describing the funds as ‘missing’, Alhaji Boniface questions what the money was used for as it could not be identified with any project. “In 2007, I signed a loan for £73 million to change this place and move the whole of this place to Adjen Kotoku… Where is the loan? We can’t trace it,” he stated while addressing Zongo dwellers at Old Fadama in Accra Wednesday. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency, decried how the Korle Lagoon Restoration project initiated under the Kufuor administra...

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’...

Open defecation: Tourists vow never to swim in Ghana’s ocean

Image
Ghana will have to intensify the fight against open defecation or risks losing tourists which may eventually lead to the collapse of the tourism industry in the country. This is because, tourists visiting the country are gradually getting fed up with the insanitary state of most of the tourist sites, particularly the beaches. In a report by JoyNews’ Joojo Cobbinah, tourists who visit the historical Cape Coast Castle in the Central Region have vowed never to go bathing in Ghana’s ocean due to the indiscriminate practice of open defecation along the shores of the beaches. Residents around the Cape Coast Castle, including fishermen who incidentally seek their livelihood from the same spot have turned the seaside behind the castle into an open defecation ground. They ease themselves in the water and use same water to wash their anus even in the presence of tourists. This act, according to the tourists is unacceptable and must be discouraged. They advise government to adopt a more prag...
