A mouse that relies on entering ‘other holes’ instead of digging and remaining in its own holes will one day, one day, encounter a snake. Sin fascinates and assassinates! Be smarter than your body; you have control over your body than you think.
Recently, I attended an Easter conference where, surprisingly, the event turned out to be fantastic since I performed a song with my terrible singing voice, causing some attendees to lose consciousness!
Why do we consistently insist that others say something positive about us? Doesn’t this desire perhaps explain why we often aren’t told the unvarnished truth, as we seek only niceties?
At the conference, there was also an Obroni present. Since I was the master of ceremonies, I ‘made’ this white man share his thoughts on what he enjoyed about Ghana. After some hesitation due to uncertainty over how to respond, here’s what he said:
‘Ghana is a stunning nation.’
I like your trees; they are standing’.
Honestly, nothing irritated me as much as the sudden round of applause after he responded, and my own ecstatic reaction where I shouted ‘Halleluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,’ which made everyone else yell back, ‘Aaaaaamen! Yeah! Aren’t trees meant to stand up? This situation’s problematic indeed.’
.
Hmmm!
Ablavi intends to get something from me. Initially, she asked me to purchase a 32-inch TV. Both “TV” and “television set” were mentioned. Then, she suggested getting a mobile phone—a relatively inexpensive one, apparently.
However, television? In an era when everyone values smartphones as presents above all else, you’re requesting a TV? Is it feasible for me to purchase a TV set for a connection that concluded 18 years ago?
In any case, her investment has reached maturity; she wishes to come and claim it. Hey! Promiscuity along with its associated issues.
Occasionally, the resulting outcomes do not appear right away, but believe me, they will arrive eventually if the actions are wrong! I shared with her the financial difficulties I was experiencing, but she wouldn’t accept that because she thought I wasn’t being honest with her.
Later on, she mentioned that she thought my issue had a spiritual aspect, so she provided me with the contact information for a highly ‘influential prophet’ and also asked whether I could provide her with the details of another strong juju practitioner.
Wow! Guys, we’re really going through struggles here! If only we could understand where some of these trials might lead us and how they keep us alive, then maybe we’d realize just how much God loves us and surpasses even those considered most powerful on Earth. Despite our wrongdoings, He continues to protect us. But mark my words; someday soon, you’ll recognize the truth in my lyrics when I say ‘sin entices yet ultimately destroys’!
Isn’t it remarkable how first names often turn into surnames exclusively within small-scale churches?
Even some of the prominent ones themselves! Pastor Dan, Pastor Kris, Pastor Ben, Pastor Kofi, Pastor Toffee, Pastor Mawuli. Hey, a few years ago, my landlord would refer to me as Pastor Mawuli too. It always made me chuckle inside every time he did.
Whenever my Ablavi came to see me, I would close the door and we’d both stay inside where I would play something for him.
Beenie Man’s
1999 hit Gospel song
‘Move to the right invoking Jesus’ name, move to the left in the Lord’s honor.’
‘and I set this to play on “Replay, Replay, Replay” mode.’
Through this deceit, my landlord believed I was deeply devout due to my fondness for gospel music. He remained unaware of both the circumstances I was leaving behind and those I was heading towards.
God, I trust you’ve pardoned me since I wasn’t aware of my actions at the time. Though now I understand them, it’s still… hmm!
I met this other curved and plump one last Saturday at a funeral. Pretty young lady about 29 years. Through interactions, I got to know she had lost her fiancé in a motor accident not long ago.
As she described it, he overtook an articulated lorry and ended up colliding with a fuel tanker! It’s such a tragedy! Although I felt sorry for her, unpleasant thoughts kept creeping into my mind despite my efforts to stay positive.
She pointed out that she resides in an apartment leased with funds from her late fiancé, and the rental agreement needs to be renewed in June 2025 for an additional two years at a cost of GHC1,200 monthly. At this point, I tend to become disinterested right away and feel a noticeable shrinkage between my legs. Consequently, I promptly blocked her on WhatsApp as well as phone calls.
Two days ago, she managed to use a different line to call me. I responded nicely but she complained about my line not going through and ‘they say’ bad network! Period!
She wished for me to visit after finishing work; indeed, I consented! While heading towards her place based on her instructions, I reached out to discover what sort of gift might please her. Her response left me stunned—a padlock. That’s all she desired: just a simple padlock. A padlock?
I did a U-turn and ended up burning out my clutch! It’s tough to understand why she needed a padlock. I suggested sending her some mobile money so she could purchase it herself. Oddly enough, she refused; instead, she insisted that I buy it and personally deliver it to her. Make sure it’s the heavy black one with four keys!
Should I inquire about why she wanted the padlock? Men! Men!! Men!!! Hmm! Personally, once they inform me,
‘Hmm, I’m not sure how to tackle this issue.’
,
I don’t ask
‘
what problem
’?
Hahaha! Brother, be sure about this: act like you didn’t catch her drift, stage a fake call, and quickly exit the scene. Runaway!
Do you remember that interesting character of a girl who chopped my money at Community 150 for 4 months without me ‘eating anything’? The day we agreed to ‘eat’, she said ‘Kotorkor was playing and so no show.
What! Even with Liverpool playing today, we still have to use the stadium. What do you mean? Over four months, I’ve been paying you on my payroll and giving you GHC300 each month, which adds up to GHC1,200 over this period without any withheld taxes, and you consider that insignificant?
We would ‘play’ even if the grass is green. Haaa! This same girl is the girl who ate my Chinese restaurant fried rice before while I ate kenkey and pepper. Anytime she asked why I wasn’t eating fried rice, my excuse was that I wanted to avoid cholesterol. It was a lie. That’s how poverty responds immediately to some of those unnecessary questions!
Embarrassingly enough, after her meal, she forgot the rice packet in my car before I headed home. The next day, my spouse ‘casually’ noticed it! When she questioned me about an opened package containing chicken bones found beneath the car seat, I told her that I was diligently practicing cleanliness as a loyal citizen and had taken up collecting discarded food packages as my new pastime.
She trusted my word. How sweet! She’s really quite empathetic and went ahead to ask about why we stopped participating in collective work. Those times at Kisseman, working together was actually enjoyable.
Work and happiness. However, for several decades now, we’ve shifted focus; instead of progress, we engage in communal labor where people freely dispose of waste, clogging up drainage systems! What exactly has altered here, koraaa han? This includes both the well-educated and those without formal education. Most of us are culpable! Urinating indiscriminately everywhere! Oh dear! Is there still hope? Hmm!
Some followers of Baha’i faith nowadays, their actions are making me reconsider my questionable behaviors. Should I abstain for an entire year until 2025 and then restart in 2026? No ‘eyi’ for one whole year—how will I manage this?
Anyway, sometimes you learn from losing so I lost that community 150 girl to a rich man! This ‘thing’ is costing me money, stress, pain and unnecessary troubles but I don’t know what to do again la. I feel like crying only to remember I caused it myself! Flee, my brother, as indeed sin fascinates and assassinates! Nothing dey inside; temporary enjoyment in van with long term consequences.
Enjoy your weekend and keep in mind, the finest way to live is to consider some things as ‘wasted’ time! It’s not necessary to take every aspect too seriously regardless of circumstances, and all will turn out fine – after all, life goes on!
