READERS’ MAIL: Never Leave Your Girlfriend For Any Body You See On TV | Not All That Glitters Is Gold-My BIGGEST Regret

black woman

 

Out of self respect, I would want to remain anonymous so I can say exactly what I’ve experienced and what is on my heart. And maybe, just maybe, my experience will be a lesson for some men out there…

I am a Ghanaian in my late 30s who owns an African shop out here in Maryland, USA. I cannot say I am greatly successful but I have enough to take care of myself and even waste some on certain not-so important things.

I had a 4 year relationship with a certain young Ghanaian woman out here. But even though things were not that amazing, it was not that bad.

As a shop owner, I spend a lot of time traveling and whenever I settle down, I watch a lot of African movies in my shop as I sell some of these movies.

This is how I developed an interest in a young rising Ghanaian actress, an interest which will later cost me thousands of dollars and end my 4-year relationship.

You may call me a fool and I think you have the right to do so because I behaved like one. After spotting this young woman in several movies, I contacted my friend-a movie producer in Ghana who promised to get me her number.

With constant pressure from me, my friend sent me this actress’ phone number and we started chatting. I was shocked to learn she was single. I told her about my not so happy relationship and she said, maybe she could make me happy.

After several calls and chats, I told her I was coming to see her in Ghana. Excitedly, she sent me a long list of the things she needed. Pushed by a strong will to impress her, I bought everything including certain things she did not even mention.

All this time, I was chasing the beauty and elegance I saw in her movies. She had sent me several great pictures, confirming she is really beautiful, the kind of woman every man will want to have by his side.

DID HE REALLY SAY THAT? Kweku Baako Says Kwame Nkrumah Is GREATER Than Mandela

Kwame Nkrumah

 

I respect Kweku Baako and he has the right to air his opinions like every other person.

But to suggest that, a dictator and champion of nepotism-Kwame Nkrumah, who had no respect for the rule of law as it can be clearly seen in his enactment of the Preventive Detention Act,  by any means is GREATER than Mandela—is pure absurdity.

Again, Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela belong to different era of time with different political situations, it is therefore even wrong to compare the two men.  Even if you decide to go ahead of a comparison, I do not see how Nkrumah would ever be greater than Mandela.

According to Graphic Ghana;

he Editor of the New Crusading Guide, Mr Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says Kwame Nkrumah was the greatest African.

He was contributing to a debate on whom of South Africa’s first black President, Nelson Mandela, and Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah, was the greatest African.

The debate, which has gained grounds since Mandela died last week, has divided many Ghanaians.

Mr Baako said while Mandela could be described as one of the greatest Africans, he did not measure up to Nkrumah.

“The greatest leader, for me, was Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah”, Mr Baako said on Peace FM’s ‘Kokroko’ on Wednesday.

Sign Language Translator At Nelson Mandela’s Memorial Was A FAKE

Fake Sign Language Nelson Mandela

Didn’t this interpreter think someone out there will notice what he was doing and call him out? We know there are different sign languages out there but for certain bodies to come out to say he was not using a recognizable sign language makes it a pain—especially to those who were relying on him to know what was being said…

Really stupid on his part if he actually was faking a lot—and just threw his hands into the air without any meaning. How much was he paid anyway?

According to DailyMail;

South Africa’s deaf federation has confirmed that an interpreter using sign language during the Mandela memorial was a ‘fake’.

The man, who signed for a portion of the televised event at  Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium was simply making up his own signs, according to the Deaf Federation of South Africa.

The unidentified man seen around the world on television next to leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama ‘was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for,’ said Bruno Druchen, the federation’s national director.

Three sign language experts said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages.

Winnie ‘Nomzamo’ Mandela: She Who Tried!

Winnie Mandela

 

In February 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison. In March that same year I was born. At the age of 11, my mum told me a true story of how in the frenzy of Mandela’s release in 1990 I was nearly named Winnie Mandela.

A suggestion my dad vehemently protested because he felt Winnie Mandela had struggled too much in life and was afraid her name was going to have serious manifestations in his daughter’s life. My mother believed in the fearlessness of Winnie Mandela, believed she stood for the many voices of African women who were tired of being sidelined in serious national affairs. At the end of the day, as it is in our typical male dominated society, my father won that debate and I was given a different name.

As young as I was at the age of 11, I was not too happy with my father’s decision. Because I had watched almost all the movies on apartheid in South Africa, read some books, knew all the names and Winnie Mandela certainly was one of the ‘heroes’ of its abolishment. I was so proud of her bravery and her resilience to what she believed in. I began to imagine how I would have bragged to my classmates and how I never would have ceased every opportunity to rub it into their faces. And I thought to myself, Winnie Mandela would not have been a bad name for me at all.

This is because, after all these years I have come to realize that Winnie Mandela and I have so much in common. So I have come to the conclusion that even though I wasn’t given her name, my mother’s conviction about Winnie’s personality might have been conferred to me.

In case you didn’t know, Winnie Mandela’s Xhosa name is “Nomzamo” which means, “She who tries”. If you are part of the bunch who do not believe that names have impact on the personality, then I hope this Xhosa translation of her name does a little convincing for you. She didn’t just try, she was a fighter!
