OH KOFI! Oh Kofi! Oh Kofi! but why? How could you do this? How could you lie? You said she was your ride or die But you've left her with no goodbye Kofi you promised you'll always be there Ah but Kofi you are nowhere Kofi the lover lover was just Kofi the liar liar Chairman left her because she said no He said just the tip or else he'll go She gave him her heart but he wanted downstairs So you run round having secret affairs Kofi now you have six sides, chairman is a hexagon Three in diaspora, three in Pentagon Now she's preaching men are trash on Twitter And posting self-love quotes on Insta She'll recover after the tears Because though she is little she is but fierce (Based on a true story. Unfortunately.) Today's message is going to be preached to three different congregations. Please find your category and take your seat. I'll start with the predators before the prey and end with the most dangerous group, the enab...

With this I shield my breast …  ‘In the chest of a woman is not only an extension of breast and a feeble heart but a flaming desire to possess and use power.’- Efo Kodjo Mawugbe. The battle of the sexes has long been fought for more than centuries. Different eras of human history show powerful women who in the midst of men fought to make their voices heard. Even here in Ghana we are told the tale of the brave Yaa Asantewaa who led her people in battle. Although there are quite a number of powerful women in our day, the number could increase by far. This can happen if girls of today are taught their true worth at an early age. In our world today, especially in Africa, girls have been programmed to believe that their highest qualification in life is to become a wife. Sure we do not prevent them from going to school and lock them up in the kitchen as in the days of old, but even as girls are encouraged to get an education they are only encouraged not to go so far or else what tim...

The Tale of the Green-eyed monster  What manner of monster is this? One who does not crawl in the shadows but rears its ugly head proudly in the light of day. A monster that does not hide underneath your bed but takes over the entire room. A beast so merciless it preys on everyone in its reach, even children. No one is safe from its cold touch. It waits patiently for you to build something magnificent then it creeps in slowly and destroys it brick by brick. It plants a seed of doubt in your mind and waters it with your deepest insecurities till you are completely consumed by rage and engulfed in insanity. Beware my friends, of the green eyed monster.  For those of who do not know the green- eyed monster, it goes by a lot of other aliases. In some corners it is known as jealousy and in other parts in known as envy. Regardless of whatever you decide to call it, it’s still a terrible thing known for doing more harm than good. Many a relationship have suffered at the hands of ...

Glitz Style Awards; Top 5

Glitz Style Awards Review; Top five (5) Best Looks of the Night. On the 14th of September, with no astrologic prediction the stars aligned. Shining bright like diamonds they converged at the Movenpick Grand Hotel. It was a night of high fashion, flawless creativity and sophisticated entertainment, hosted by Nikki Samonas and Mai Atafo who looked blissful in blue, but I for one think the real show took place on the red carpet. The outfit choices of our local celebrities who strutted on the carpet was definitely one for the books. Who else was getting GH MET Gala vibes?! Obviously not every outfit was a hit but let’s spare the ne’er-do-wells for today and bask in the light of the stars who truly shone bright. Of course a lot of them stunned on the night but we've narrowed it down to 5. 5. Kojo Jones Our  pick for number 5 is Ghanaian business executive, Kojo Jones. First of all I think men are underappreciated when it comes to fashion but this man is definitely worth mentionin...

. Thorns on Roses/ At First Sight   He was staring at her   She knew but pretended not to care    He walked straight to her    Her heart raced as she felt him near He said hi   And when she turned it was love at first sight   She said no when he offered a drink          When intoxicated she couldn’t think    Awkward silence was the next thing    It took her some time for it all to sink    He wanted to turn his back and leave    But his legs wouldn’t move, even they believed    That he had loved her at first sight   They started to talk then went for a walk   She wanted to melt; he knew what she felt   They had fallen in love at first sight   A love that felt so real and true   Was a feeling that was for them so new   It broke all boundaries, ...

SONNET I Like a sick little child, I'm needy  Look into my teary eyes they're beady  cant see clearly my vision is hazy  I should have fought harder but I'm just too lazy blew down my house of cards when I was playing spa don't need therapy I need a therapist; I need a life coach not a car  Listen to me, come to me, just hold me don't leave me  I need an ear please not an earpiece can you hear please cuz I'm scared please I was right when I left but now there's nothing left you've taken everything under the sun, daylight theft  I thought the cure to my poison was you  I thought you would make everything fine.  But now its clear what I have to do, let go of your mess and focus on mine

Chocolate Cake for the Soul / My Cure, My Poison

My cure, my poison I want it The lies, the tears, the pain, the tears I crave it Your sound, your touch, your scream, your scratch Making appointments to receive your injection Seeking your love but fearing rejection A desperate search for affection In all the wrong places believing deception Your words like fingers trace my skin But pull me deep into unholy sin Prison doors open but I won't flee Chains are broken but I'm not free Sick of the lies, sick of the tears, sick of the pain, sick of the fears. You're my remedy, you're my symptom My cure, my poison. Sometimes the one thing we feel like we cant live without is the thing that actually kills us. the strangest part is that even though we know it kills us we just cant help ourselves. this piece is just an artistic way of saying I live for what kills me. I don't know if you can relate but sometimes you find yourself in a relationship that is just so messed up that you cant even have a single ...
