ure you’re the greatest woman God has ever created, i know u will be dark in complexion too.

In your absence i have started thinking about the names that our children will bear, i know u are doing same, when we meet we will finally seal that. i guess you have a John in the names(i guess you know why) , i have phebe and peggy in mind for our twins. our unionship will be spectacular, every midnight we woudl hold hands and pray, i wouldn’t mind taking the apron, and i know you wouldn’t mind saying “beloved…i want to pay the kids fees this semester”

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN- A LETTER FROM YOUR FUTURE WIFE

·

My dear future husband I received your letter in the middle of the night and that kept me awake until the next morning. I must admit I giggled at a first glance of it but later I pondered over your words and gave me an idea of the kind of person you are.

Undoubtedly from what I read, it seemed to me that you are hungry looking for a prayerful woman as a wife. I must admit I have being praying for ages to meet my future husband but to no avail, now I have heard from you in the form of writing and not facially.

 

My only worry now is how you look facially, am tempted to wonder whether your facial appearance is as clear as what TV station in Ghana,(TV3, TV Africa, Metro or GTV). Aside the spirituality of my future husband i want him to be a handsome man and so therefore if you are not please you start looking for a place to do plastic surgery but don’t do it the Michael Jackson way please.

 

Before now you mentioned that is possible I might have met a few wrong people who are not meant for me, as I write to you now I am dating my six guy and I can confidentially conclude to you that it is at the verge of collapsing because I just discovered this last week that this guy has stored my contact on his phone as “tiGO no9” meaning am the 9th lady his dating. I don’t know much about superstition and spirituality but I know that the number 7 stands for perfection and so I therefore pray u will be the next and last person to be with.

 

On the issue of naming our kids, yes I have some names in mind and they are: Mikki, (name of my first love), Dennis (the name of the sugar daddy who virtually bought me everything I have now) hope you don’t mind? On the issue of giving one of our sons the name John, I dispute because I feel very soon the era of the Johns becoming presidents will end, John Alan Cash will be the end of the Johns.

I am sure you have also gone out with a couple of wrong ladies before now? That isn’t my problem but that we meet soon, get married then i quickly get out of this house, i share the same room with my six siblings, can you imagine what goes on the day we eat beans as supper, i get nasal blockage for weeks, hmm.

 

If you want to meet me earlier, let me give you places where I can be found: Mondays I am always at the tennis court, Tuesdays at the shopping mall, Wednesdays you will find me at the Golden Tulip hotel, Thursday am found at the Cinema, on Fridays I am at an all night service in Accra, on Saturdays I sleep all day because that’s the only opportunity to have the bed all alone, and finally on Sundays am found in church (find the name of the church yourself)

 

I am on my way to see my prophet to enquire about your tribal background because if it is what I am guessing then I know I have to enroll in a cake and meat pie catering school as soon as possible before we meet, (fanti men)

 

Yours virtuous future wife

Miss Dimple Black Beauty

 

 

 

our marriage shall be the best of all time.

A letter from home.

Many years ago any time I wanted to write a letter to my friends,family or loved ones I tried my possible best to use the first paragraph to describe how I felt within, the mood in which I find myself and how things around me are.

Today and for the very first time in my life as a letter writer, blogger, or reporter, I cant really describe how I feel, let alone describing the safe bosom of Abraham I am resting. Trust you me, you cannot imagine the ecstasy and thrilling experience I am enjoying here. Most of it all is the day I came in contact with the man who died for me.

The crystals in his eyes and the presence of his melodious host of angels is something that can best be described by the camera not with my writing, and coincidentally the photographer is busily dancing to nice tunes from king David playing his harp.

At this point in time I believe you are trying to imagine or picture how it is over here, well let me tell you, there is no movie you have ever watched or anything you have heard that can be compared to the beauty here, not even the Apocalypse movie we watched together when I was with you some years ago.

I also want to tell you I am very happy here and never wish for anything over here, there is no war, nobody here owns a national health insurance card, it was here that I got to know that the sickness that brought me here was one sent on me by my heavenly Father just for me to come and rest from my labour.

Let me tell you how it was on my first day here, after I have had a long excursion with Arch Angel Michael, we came across a very golden street that had some dancing flowers besides the pavements of the street, you cant believe what happened next, the flowers were singing a very nice song, I remember that song was sung on your sisters wedding day, “King of Kings,forever and ever….halleluia…” , Michael pointed my mansion to me, Wooow! there is no mansion I ever saw anywhere in all the 109 countries I travelled to when I was in the world, the roof of my mansion is made of nice pearls, jasper and beautiful glass stones.

When Michael gave me the permission to enter I asked myself within, “where am I going to get the keys to my mansion, by the time I turned to demand for the keys he was no where to be found, he had a call from Jesus to come and attend to some guest who have just arrived here.

I got closer to my mansion still wondering how I was going to unlock it, surprisingly when I got closer I realized there were no locks on the door, no alarm or any sort of security, over here all you need to do in order to enter your room is to call the name of Jesus and the door opens for you.

I never felt so glorious and extra ordinary like I did on that day, I wish you were here to also listen to the song my bed sung when I sat on it, naturally I could also sing the song and it was as if the room was echoing with the voices of legion of angels. To give you a teaser some of the songs being sung here are “His calling every one to come and see the light the light of the world is Jesus, Yesu wuue agyee min kwaa, by Awura Abena and Naacy” and some songs of Daughters of Glorious Jesus.

You will marvel at how I am treated here by the angels, any time they see me they clap their wings together and dance a nice choreography with me. Over here there is no cost of electricity because there is no darkness here, Jesus is the light here so we need no other light.

I also want to tell you to stop crying for my departure, do well and tell my family and friends to stop mourning because I found the safest place ever. Can you believe since I came here is being singing and praising the name of the Most High, there is no want or need here, no sellers, every body have every thing, and I am glad to tell you that I also have the body of Christ, I can vanish every where I want to go and I don’t need a car like the Land Rover I was using. I just returned from a great banquet and the table had no end, I ate from a tree that has 12 fruits that ripe in 12 months, I really enjoyed myself.

When it was time for me to go and see the Almighty I am that I am, I was very much enthused at the welcome I received, later he ordered an angel to bring my crown and ushered me to a nicely decorated chair that no king or queen has ever sat on. I saw some 24 men(elders) in nice and glistering apparel flowing down to the sole of their feet, they had nice white hair and white beard.

You cant believe who I have here with me, Apostle Paul, he gave me the ink and paper I used in writing you this letter, Joseph is also here with me, They say I should tell you that stay chaste and wait patiently so that when your time is up they will have you come have this glamorous experience.

Seriously the only thing that will make my joy complete will be to see you and all my family and friends here with me at home-HEAVEN.

Once Upon a Time In High School: The Days of Letter Writing

Once Upon a Time In High School: The Days of Letter Writing.

Once Upon a Time In High School: The Days of Letter Writing

“The brightness of the day has given me this opportunity to write you this letter” or “Looking into the skies i saw flying birds with different colours. The colours include red, yellow, gold, green and pink. As I saw the pink colour, it reminded me of you, that is why I decided to write this letter to you, How are you?” Which of these two did you use in the days of letter writing?

Do you remember the days of letter writing? The joy of receiving a letter from your school post boy on assembly grounds coupled with the cheering and shouts of your nick name when you are called more than twice for a letter. Lets be realistic those days of receiving letters with smiles and name written on it or going to the post office to check your box whether you have a letter has completed died out of the system.

Letter writing in those days was a fun and not only did it bring us closely to family and friends who were far from us, they helped improve our English and hand writing. In those days one will not write a letter to a dear one without having a big dictionary on the laps, why? Well because you needed to find a new word that will captivate and blow the mind of your reader and if you were at the receiving end you be sure that you were going to be bombarded with words that dictionary could not explain.

The depth of joy and ecstasy a letter brings to some one is beyond explanation, one could keep a letter from a loved one for weeks or months even years and any time it was reread it brought some sort of goose pimples to the body. Aha… I just remembered how I became a victim to that, I can recall clearly the first letter I received from a Junior High School  class mate of mine who was in a different Senior High School. No matter how hard I tried to demystify  the rationale behind that letter I received from my friend I couldn’t because I received that Valentine Card and letter from some one I least expected. Trust you me, the perfume in the letter I received if was sprayed on my “broni waawu” (second hand shirt) could have taken two decades before it would be out, I hid the letter for more than two years and any time I smelt something bad around my neighbourhood and I just had to go for my perfumed letter and hang it tightly around my nostrils… how was your own experience like?

It was later on that I got the reason why she sent me that letter. In those days getting more of valentine cards and letters on Valentine’s day in some of the boarding schools was a competition among students, the more cards and letters you had the freakiest you were meant to be, so my lady friend sent me that letter just for me to reciprocate so that my reply could increase her chances of winning the” valentine’s day letter girl” What a shock?

In every thing there is some form of “galamsey” (fast money) and so for those of us that seemed to have some nice handwriting and some “easy- to- concoct” words like “What is the alphabetical construction of your human dignity” simply (What is your name) we were making some small money from the “Ghana is longer than Africa” hand-writers, who start writing from one line and end on the next two lines beneath.

Reagan wherever you may be, I hope for you to read this letter. He was my first ever pen-pal I had in school when I was in class three and he was from Canada. Promising me of coming to take to Canada was all I lived for and boasted of to my friends and now if I could ever meet him again I would have sung to him Becca’s song “”You lied to me ! “. My passion for letter writing grew from my encounter with Reagan, I was always running shift with my mother, just waiting for the slightest opportunity for her to come out of her room for me to enter and pounce on any coin that would mistakenly find itself tied around her strong knotted cloth, if for security reasons my hands were failing the operation, I quickly used my teeth and whatever I got  was later used to buy aerogram to write letters to my friends.

I am still enjoying some of the meritorious rewards letter writing had to offer. I had a correspondence with some friends in USA, they sent me free bibles upon request and I sold some of them out to people, something I did naively and I am glad to say that my beloved NIV bible I am using now is a product of letter writing gifts I received from some penpals decades ago. I hope you also received something you are still using now?

One Berttina Hoerlin found the love letters written between his father and mother during the World War II and has written a book on these letters entitled “Steps of Courage”, Take a look at one quote from her mother to her father ” Why does destiny force me so incredibly close to you? That I have no breath unless I blend it with yours, that your heart beats with mine”. I am just imagining how this man felt after reading this letter.

However the 4-4-2 ball formation or game plan has changed drastically over the years, with the invention of new technologies everyday and by courtesy of social media such as Nimbuzz, Whatsapp, Qute, Facebook, Flickr, skype and a host of many others letter writing is now in extinction. Today you can send hundred messages, pictures, files to your friends and love ones with just a click. Those days that you had to wait for weeks or month for a letter is no more, today you can talk and message each other instantanously.

With these latest technological development our post offices have less work to do and automatically the revenue level will depreciate. I really miss letter writing days and I wish I could receive a letter very soon, but from who?

You will not end a nice letter to a friend or loved one without giving a nice conclusion and a serious two paragraphed signature, I usually ended mine with Yours Sincerely or Yours Faithful….Joe boy Rosina, today as old as I am and realising now that all was part of fun and youthful exuberance, let me end with…

Yours Truly….Ebo Turkson.

THE RETURN OF THE MAN

Ever witnessed a loved one, be it a family or friend whom you have shared almost every thing with part away with you by walking away from your grasp to the entrance of an aeroplane, at that particular time all you do is to watch his back closely until the flight disappears in the cloud.

One of the most difficult moments in the life of any one is to lose a loved one, yet sometimes is more painful and worrisome to lose some people not to death but to distance, a friend travelling overseas for further studies, a sister living abroad to stay with husband.

This days with the advent of social media and other applications you can virtually do every thing with your loved ones who are far away from you by virtue of Whatsapp, facebook, Qute, Twitter, Skpe, Nimbuzz, just to  mention a few. some decades from now it wasn’t so, you could only hear from friends and loved ones abroad only through the post office and so you were always keeping your eyes attentive to the sound of the letterman.

Some people leave our lives and we have no match of a replacement for the vacuum. The friendship, companionship that was created between Jesus and His disciples was very awesome. we often times read about how they ate together, prayed together, shared the word together, in fact it seemed they did every thing virtually together. Before his departure he kept talking to them about how he will one day leave them but due to the parabolic nature of how he said it most of the disciples if not all didn’t understand and know what he was talking about until the day of ascension.

I want to believe in the minds of the disciples and his followers they were saying so this man is really living us today, and the weak will be asking each other “who will pray for us when we are sick” and to others “Who can get us loaves of bread and fishes to eat when hungry”

Before their very eyes the man they loved, cheerish, reverenced and adored most was taken away from them into heaven in the middle of two angels who saw the sad countenance of the people around and consoled them saying People of Galilee, why do you watch Jesus sadly as his being taken to heaven, worry not the same way you see him going the same way you will see him coming.

Earlier on he admonished the disciples to take heart for he (Jesus) had overcome the world, for in this world they will find many troubles. Often times when we share jokes and play with the people around us, we do not appreciate them much until they take leave of us and one day when the unexpected dawns on us we see how important this same people were to our lives.

Many people may be worrying themselves with millions reasons to prove that Jesus Christ is the Messiah,  need not that, all I know and can prove is that Jesus was Crucified…He resurrected… and he will come again. Recently after some serious diving into the bible the Spirit of Truth revealed to me that Jesus Christ was not killed but was CRUCIFIED. This is a hard teaching right? Lets see this…….

If you have a sheep and you want to kill it, you do so with a motive, and that could be to enjoy the meat of it or use the skin for a leather bag, shoe or belt. Nobody will grieve or mourn over the animal they have killed personally right?

However if you want to sacrifice a sheep for rituals or any purpose you don’t yearn to enjoy the meat of that animal, no matter how hungry your family members may be, because the body or meat of the animal is intended for a purpose: sacrifice. When any one is doing sacrifice they will often times use what the love most or cheerish so much, but when you want to kill any of your animals you will probably do so to the oldest of your flock, Jesus was the only begotten Son of the Father, meaning He was all God Almighty had and loved Him incomparably. Remember Abraham who was about to sacrifice his only son, do you think if he wanted to kill his son it would be Isaac? No… but because the intention was sacrifice he was willing to.

He has promised a come back in the book of John 14:1-3, where He will come for his own. You can alter this significant point by your tradition, culture or belief, but trust you me whether you believe it or not Jesus is coming for His own, If you never Knew this and want to be part of His own, just say a little prayer of guilt and ask Him to be the Lord and Master of your life.

THIS DAY IF YOU HEAR  THE VOICE OF THE LORD HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART…

PAUSE n PONDER: Tell me Your School Motto and I will Show You Who You Are.

“Lumen accipe et imperti” must be wondering what this is all about? Ok what about this one: “Nil Satis nisi Optimum” ok let me help you out, from the former to latter all I am saying is: “Take the light and pass it on” and “Nothing but the best is enough” respectively.
My point today on Pause and Ponder has to do with the use of Latin or Greek in writing our school mottos here in Ghana. I strongly believe they may be reasons why some of our Seconday schools and universities in Ghana use clasiical Latin or Greek as school mottos and not our own local language which to me is more concentrate.
It is not to be doubted that for centuries latin was the foundation of education and practical language for the study of science, maths, medicine, philosophy, literature  and many others and so it is proper to pay compliment or some form of allegience by writing our school mottos in latin.
I am not saying is wrong or improper but one will wonder why we will use latin for as our mottos when actually it is rarely taught in our schools, I took time to go through some of the mottos of some secondary schools and universities here in Ghana and to my utmost surprise majority of them if not all were in latin with a few local ones.
I remember the first boy in my village who first entered the university was asked  by his father “Papa Yaw what is the motto of your school?” the boy stood speechless for decades and eventually responded “it is written in some language, I don’t understand but please next time will ask my lecturer and you will know it soon.”  The father in a way was disappointed in the son.
I strongly believe is about time our secondary schools and universities started using our traditional adinkra symbols as school crest with local languages from where the school  was established so that we uphold and defend the good name of our motherland.
Today it is dificult for students to name or identify the meaning of adinkra symbols of which I may not be exempted from. From my search I found that
 Adisadel college have ‘Vel Primus, Vel cum Primus’ meaning “Either the best or with the first” as their motto, I believe this saying was and is meant to enjoin the students to strive to be among the best, if not the very best in whatever they do, so with this beautiful motto why can’t it be something in native language like “edzikanfo”. The question I ask is if a motto or  crest is suppose to be a symbol and writings of the values and aspirations which that society believes and stands for, why not in a language the indigenous can understand?
My next stop in Cape Coast was the Mfantsipim Girls school, here something interesting and appealing happens, the motto of the school in Latin used to be “Ad Aster Per Asteria” meaning Aim High, however along the line can you guess what happened? Ok I will tell you, the motto was changed to what they have now in local language to “Obra Nye Waor bo” meaning (Life is what you make it) the big question now is why was it changed?
My next stop was more intriguing, just as Oliver Twist won’t stop asking for more so was this School, ST. Louis in Kumasi, I think over here the Latin alone was not enough so they had to sandwich another one to it, the French motto for the school is “Dieu le veult” meaning (God willing), later the latin “Ut Omnes Unum Sint” was added to the moto meaning (that all may be one) together the motto goes “God wishes that all may be one” so what could have prevented this nice school from using “biako ye” meaning (unity)
I am not preaching Mr. Perfect or Ideal sermon but I only think the stability and unshakability a motto is suppose to imbibe into students is dwindling.
Perhaps if we give mottos in latin just because early education started in Latin then I wil strongly suggest that since football is also believed to have started from England then all football clubs in the world should have their Football Club mottos in English. If that should happen I am imagining how an old man in Kumasi: Wofa Osei, who is an immediate friend to the sister of Otumfuo who has supported Asante Kotoko since ancient Gold Coast will cheer them: “If you kill thousand, thousand will come” (kum apem a apem beba)
When we use our own symbols such as the adinkra and other local sayings we are easily tagged and identified. For the very first time in my 50 years on Earth just some few days ago I had the- is it opportunity or leisure of watch Big Brother Africa, already I had read that some Ghanains were part so I was busily and baisly looking out for these Ghanains but I was failing, until I saw one guy in a T-Shirt with some adinkra symbols in it, immediately I said to myself this must be the Ghanaian representative, patiently waited to verify my discovery, behold sooner than later I saw this same guy busily mentoring other inmates the Ghanaian craze dance “azonto” my guess this time was right just because I saw a symbol.
We can also think about the tourism aspect of what these adinkra symbols and their writings will bring to us, because I personally believe people are curious about it and want to know more about them.
Most of our universities are not using local language as their motto. We have a local adage in akan that goes “obi nfa n’sa benkum kyer3 ni krom kwan” meaning (Nobody will direct the way to his hometown with his left hand). Clearly meaning everybody cheerish what they have. This is the time for us to start recognising we are Ghanaians and have to cheerish what we have. Have you thought about this, No white man trying to speak twi (our local language) will be laughed at when he pronounces a word wrongly in twi yet is only in Ghana that if you pronounce an english word wrongly that you will be laughed woefully at as if you were in England when english was discovered.
I believe as Ghanains we have a lot wise sayings and mottos that can speak same volumes that the latin does: “Dwen hwe kan” meaning (Think ahead) motto for Mfantsipim school, “Dwen na som” meaning (think and serve) motto for Ofori Panin School, nyansa po, y3 sanino badwen ba (A wise knot is untied  by the wise) for Kwame Nkrumah University of Sciene and Technology.(KNUST)
Lets strive to be protectors of our heritage,the very jewel to be handed to posterity.

FREEDOM OF SPEE…

FREEDOM OF SPEECH: THE MISUSE OF IT
 
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither should you be afraid”. JOHN 14 : 27.
As I was writing this article I remembered a story my father told me about what he claimed happened in his village:
Almost all the youth in the village made their way to a cinema for the first time. The crowd was huge and all were enjoying the movies. But just after 30 minutes into the movie when the whole room was quite, there was a shout “Fire! Fire! ….. run for your lives”. The whole atmosphere turned into a “May 9” scene: stampede, screaming and run and running for dear life.
The young man who ignited the stampede watched quietly as the people struggled and after some minutes he shouted, “It was just a joke!” He continued after he was quizzed why he did that: “I was only exercising my freedom of speech”
Now my question is what is Freedom of Speech? Does freedom of speech allow me to go into someone’s house and say what I like about his living room? Or does freedom of speech give me right to look straight into the face of someone and describe her as “ugly” and walk away freely?
Freedom of speech is said to be the lifeblood or cornerstone of democracy and must not be trampled upon. We live in a world where people considered to be respectable and honourable make inciting comments all in the name of freedom of speech. Perhaps, they need to be reminded of what my uncle’s brother’s sister’s daughter once told me: “Uncle Ebo, your right to extend your fist/arm stops right in-front of my nose.”
 
Wherever you are reading this I will be happy if you can close your eyes and say Lord thank, because what happened some days ago about the inciting comments of “Honourable” Kenndy Agyepong could have ended in something disastrous. The painful aspect of the whole thing is how learned and educated parliamentarians are justifying such hellish comments.
I had to come to Tema just to survey his house, which is just about 20 metres away from mine, and I was terrified by the “macho men” who were surrounding the house all in the name of security. Anyone who is stays around community 12 knows about Hon Ken Agyapong for two reasons:
1.      His 26th December party that feeds a lot in the neighbourhood and gives inhabitants the opportunity to see some of the politicians they have heard so much of but never seen. One of them is Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, the flag bearer NPP.
 
2.      The long queue that is formed at his gate in the name of seeking financial help from him. You can’t take that away from him.
 
Why will such a man make comments like “… if you see any Ewe or Ga in Kumasi strike him with anything you have in your store” when you’re noted and boast about your generosity?
Our Lord Jesus, when was about to be crucified in John 17, prayed for the people that were given to him and thanked the Father for their safety. Now I want to tell our power-hungry politicians that just as a sheep is given to a shepherd to be kept, as children to a teacher to be taught, and a patient to a doctor to be cured; so are we Ghanaians given to you the leaders and politicians of this country to manage our economy and resources. One day when the trumpet sounds, don’t think it is only the Pastor who is going to give account of how he took care of his members (sheep). As parliamentarians and leaders you are also going to do same.
So do you think the NPP stalwarts will be justifying and giving the war monger this hero’s welcome that is equal to what Kwame Nkrumah received when he declared: “Your beloved country is free for ever.” If Kennedy Agyapong’s comment was made by a member of the NDC, do you think the NDC would also be condemning it as they doing now?  Never. The NDC and NPP are the same but it will not be right to justify wrong with wrong. Let’s condemn any such attitude any time it comes up.
Any objective God fearing man would never justify the comments made by Hon Ken Agyapong. It is about time we called a spade a spade and stopped calling it a big spoon. Dan Botwe for a long time I have admired and liked your way of politics but the justification you gave to this case comes as a shock to me.
The 1992 Constitution of Ghana, Article 17(2) says “A person shall not be discriminated against on the grounds of gender, race, colour, ethnic origin, religion or social or economic status.”
Former president John Agyekum Kuffour always thrills me with his proverbial way of addressing issues and I like what he said about the way Kennedy Agyapong’s comment was treated: “Killing a fly with sledge hammer.” He may be right because a friend told me “I thought terrorism, treason were related to the Afghanistan Bombers.”
I think it is only proper and wise for Hon Ken to apologise publicly to the Ewe and Ga people in Ghana. War has no advantage. It only breeds division and turmoil. If a people are divided they are less likely to realize the truth. War comes up and spreads like rashes and Ghanaians are not ready for comments like “Ghana will be like Kenya or Rwanda.”
Let’s live peacefully because if anything happens Ghana would be hopeless than any other war afflicted country ever, because they run here when they face war, and all around us are French-speaking countries and the heat in Nigeria is not welcoming: Boko Haram, I pray they don’t read this article before they start looking for me, no weapon fashion against me…….
 
I end with this with these two biblical quotations for the NDC and NPP.
To the NPP: “Pay no evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honourable in the sight of all” Romans 12:17.  And to the NDC: “ Finally , brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you” 2 Corinthians 13:11.
