I Like This One

I just hope it happens during my time on earth....

The System of Lies

• Please, and please again, when I speak/talk to you for the first time on phone and I haven't met you in person face to face, stop short of saying on the phone at the end of the conversation "nice to meet me" please, you haven't met me anywhere yet, as we just spoke on phone, I will very much appreciate it being put "Nice to talk to you" telling me, nice meeting me, personally, sounds a bit scary as we haven't met drawing my attention to reality wondering if we have ever, met. That is a clear case of imposing a misleading belief upon me trying to deceive or fool me, which is unlikely as my strong African brains wouldn't be alluding to the fact that we've met.

• Another cruel, unkind and sarcastic phrase is when people lament, I will like to get to know you or I want to get to know you. Keep these unjust expressions to yourselves when you meet me, because you will never, ever get to  know me. Does anyone knows how long it takes to get to know anyone? You think you knew me well and better all this while after two decades, something happens and you go saying, oh. I thought I knew him/her. Thanks to Employers and others who doesn't have to mark around long years to get to know us, just by reading some sheet of paper with words, they just have to give us the benefits of doubts. 

• This is the silly English spoken all around and you think its cool because you grew up speaking it.

Living In The Pacific (Lets see what pictures I can share from this part of the World)

The pictures of Africa and more-so Ghana shouldnt be playing in anyone's mind as a form of hasty generalization or some sort of judgmental conclusion. I have photo blogged these images to depict the how some of us and all those in the struggle have to go through everyday to survive. It's crazy out there but we survive it everyday as long as there's a dark night, there is always a brighter day. 

In the face of such everyday struggles, the people still display enough courage and multitude of happiness. 

I will continue the photo blogging from this part of the world establishing the contrasts and differences in everyday life. 

Northern and Southern Hemisphere (old blog)

Relaxing on both sides of The Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

It was interesting to touch and play around the Equator

Coca - Cola With Open Happiness (old blog)

Happy to note that Coca Cola is aware, in the midst of all the everyday struggles in Africa, there's still an open happiness. This is the Kampala Bus Station where I boarded a bus on my way to Lake Mburo.
I love the names at the top of the buses "IBABU and KIBUNGO"

Psychological Resilience.....(old blog)

Hoping to be safe hanging on a moving truck on a major highway, I call this Psychological Resilience.....

Animal Rights Activists and Toyota Headed For A Clash in Ghana (old blog)

I was driving behind this Toyota Land Cruiser in 2009 back home, It was a 3 hour journey back to the capital. This Land Cruiser is en-route to the Capital as well after some sort of initiative or program (can tell from the loud speakers on top of the car) in the Country side what we normally call village, with those animals tied up, animals will travel same distance tied up on top of this car. We can picture clearly and see a tow bar at the back of the Land Cruiser, people back home hardly uses it, today living here, I have seen the essence of tow bars. Lets see how the Animal Rights Activists and Toyota will  clash, sure, Toyota will recall it's car and the animal rights activists will file for abuses.

Car, Motorcycle and Human Traffic (old blog)

Do you think you have encountered the craziest and the worst car, motorcycle and human traffic? Don't even think of an answer till you visit Kampala. Any words to describe this? Survive here, survive anywhere, where are the helmets? We not even talking safety here, we talking real survival.

Fines, infringements and offences, whatever you call it, that's fine, but ain't no addresses.to send

Back 2 God in Kampala, Uganda (old blog)

Traveling in Uganda, on my way to Lake Mburo, this white van is "headed back to god". God has at least tarred the road in Kampala, while Jesus hasn't tarred the roadback home in the Eastern region of Ghana, how interesting is that?

Work Out This Road Network & Directions and Travel With Jesus In Ghana (old blog)

Work out this road network and where these cars and trucks are headed to. You need to understand, this is where I came from, the little car hood and wiper blade is that of my BMW 3 series I used to drive back home. Picture traveling with jesus on a road like this in Ghana and check out the next blog "Back 2 God" in Uganda.

An Interesting Company Name (one of my old blogs)

Driving to Nzulezo, in the Jomoro District of Ghana some years back, I came across this interesting billboard.

I worked for some months at the Melbourne Markets in 2012, this is what l used to read on my way to work.
