Blog: The Things We Take For Granted As Africans & Ghanaians, I Am Guilty, What About You?

My Seafood In Brighton (Lobster)

I have always recognized that Africa and for that matter Ghana is auspiciously blessed with so many things that money and power cannot purchase.

As another Ghanaian out there, despite the fact that I am sentient of the beauty of our naturally endowed landscapes, water bodies and their astonishing features, this has not stopped me from taking these things for granted.

It is quite normal and nothing spectacular to many that live in Ghana to visit the seaside (beach) and enjoy some of the fresh sea food that we fall on whiles at the coast or beach.

The ease at which we get access to the various beaches in Ghana and Africa together with the little we pay out to enjoy the diverse delicious seafood out there have not given us enough reasons to reflect on certain things which would enable us to fully appreciate how blessed we are as Ghanaians to have these things at our door steps.

When I did a story prior to the premiere and launch of the video I said “…. the music is too loud to get everyone’s attention”. Indeed the music is loud, it’s a kind of music everyone would want to dance to. It has a heavy beat and some crazy punch lines which makes it one of the best tunes from Ghana.

Akesifour

Before they introduced themselves as Ras Biggie (Andy Nii Okai) and Big Joe (Ntim Mensah) and together they form the musical duo Akesifour. I was a bit intimidated because of their looks and structure.

Akesifour as they call themselves is a Twi word which means ‘Big People’ or ‘Big Boys’. According to the duo, their natural sizes aided the choice of the title, this they said at least to suit their looks.

To them one does not need to be rich to be a big boy and being a big boy does not necessarily mean the person must be fat.
