I have met a lot of intelligent Ghanaians in this world including my own shadow, but this man here, Godwin Nii-Armah (Nii Smiley Byte), is the most intelligent of them all.
The first time my sister met him, she said I am a recruiter for the devil—and that I have turned the poor guy into an atheist, just like me.
A few years ago I was introduced to Godwin online as an emerging writer, fresh out of Journalism School, looking for writing gigs. Today, I say, if anyone thinks I am intelligent, Godwin is a better-cloned version of me—with all inherent defects fixed.
When our path first crossed, I somewhat introduced him to a library of Ontological and Religious books. When I checked a few months later, he had consumed all the literature and his reasoning faculties had ignited, arguing brilliantly on all matters.
He is the guy who is like a walking library: from Cosmology to Music to Politics via Music, he knows it all.
I am intelligent, some say. But I have my own limits—this guy has no intellectual boundaries, and his intellectual honesty is beyond remarkable.
Before I started practising Law full time, I was worried about how my baby online Business, GhanaCelebrities.Com was going to perform—with myself focusing more on Law. And then I realised, a better mirror version of me existed.
Apart from the fact that Godwin’s work ethics are super admirable, his brilliance makes him an amazing writer. On comparison, I was writing gibberish at this age.
You do not meet a honest Ghanaian that easily. Dishonesty is an epidemic in Africa—yet he is honest, and he does not even consider that as anything special. He thinks humanity at default, ought to be like that.
I’ve told those in control that if I am ever not here and Godwin is around, and he desires, they should freely let him have GhanaCelebrities.Com, because he does it better than me even.
You teach him something once and that’s it!
