Spicy noodles, lights-out and Sabbath - Echoes from TF17
I like to think that my best year in Uni was my first year because it was such an exciting experience when I moved to Ghana for the first time. I travelled with my Mom and we had an evening flight, so when we arrived, we were greeted by the warm ambience in Kotoka airport, the street lights that arrayed the well planned city of Accra, the warmth and friendliness of the people. We checked into a…

Lights OFF....
The humming sound of the fridge and the whirring of the fan came to a halt, the lights had gone off for the third time. It was very humid outside as the dry cold of harmattan slowly wore off. You came in wearing a black shirt and black pants, with a handkerchief that was not doing much to help the sweat on your face, “Good afternoon, please I am sorry, can I make use of your printer, I came to…

Control
“the power to influence or control someone’s behavior”, “to determine the behavior of”… The day we met was like any other day, sometimes I want to go back in time to change it, to tell Fiyin that going 40 minutes to attend that meeting was not worth it, to look at the hot sun and just head back home. Other days, I would not have it any other way, because that moment changed the course of my…

Just not tonight....
It is a very windy evening, heavy winds blowing and making the trees dance a weird dance. It looks like it will rain, the clouds are dark and the thunder is roaring, it looks like it will rain. I look at the red shirt I am wearing and I remember when you wore the shirt during Easter. It was a funny thing you liked to do, to wear red during Easter. I remember that the rains had just started and…

The Sun will rise again
I have woken up by 5:37am for 3 days in a row. Each time I have woken up, the first thing I check is my phone and the time is always 5:37am. I feel this exhaustion when I wake up; people always ask if you feel refreshed in the morning, but I do not know what that feels like. It is always the same feeling that I cannot describe, with a sharp pain in my back and thoughts racing in my head. This…

I think I'll be fine...
Is it funny that when I look outside and it is sunny, I think of a world full of hope? Is it funny that when it rains heavily, I want to hold your hand and look at the trikles with you? Is it corny that when I see a sky full of stars, I think about you. Is it weird that when it is unsually hot, I want to run to you and tell you what it feels like? Is it silly that once it’s cold, I want to know…

Not supposed to love you
I knew I was not supposed to love you. Like that evening when we walked into that eatery at the end of the street for the first time. The kitchen assistant came out with her hair tied in a torn net scarf, she looked drowsy and had a stern look on her face, it looked like she was daring us to order. She wanted us to walk away but also knew she would have to serve us if we decided to stay. The…

Licki-Licki
Harmattan always gives me cracked lips and it is not because I don’t use lip-gloss, it always happens like that. Last year, after you saw the cracks, you applied Vaseline on it and brought a lip-gloss set with you. I used it but minutes later, I had licked it off and that was when you started calling me licki-licki. You always like me to look dolled up, fancy wigs, floral dresses and perfumes…

It's okay to cry one more time...
It is raining outside. Oh, snap! It isn’t, even though I want it to. Sometimes when I am overwhelmed, I think of the rain as a distant friend and I like to imagine that we are crying together. I like to think that we are weeping and letting it all out, instead of keeping it in. It has been months since we spoke, it has been a while since I have looked out for black cars while seated in a cab,…

Ding, Ding, Dong
It is a sunny afternoon in July on a Saturday and I am steaming moi-moi for breakfast for us like I do every weekend. It has become our tradition to have hot moi-moi and pap every Saturday morning. I desperately wanted us to be unconventional and take plantain and pepper soup for breakfast but every Saturday morning, you’d brush your teeth and drive down to the restaurant down the street and come…

You can't sit with us
I attended a private, Christian boarding school and it was one of the highlights of my teenage years. I had good experiences and bad experiences as well, even ugly ones. We had a lot of fun; from the sirens that woke the entire hostels, to breakfasts in one large dining hall with fans above our heads that blew hot air- a hall that accommodated over a thousand students, sometimes we had bread that…

El ROI - The God who sees me
Happy new year! It’s the first week in April but this is my first post this year so permit me to say again- Happy new year. I want to share a personal story today, hoping that you’ll be encouraged. Last year, I made a huge decision to leave a job with prospects at a multi national. It was a good job, with exposure, room for growth and constant learning but some things happened and I had to…

A letter to my future husband.
Today was a not so happy day. I woke up encouraged after spending sometime praying through the night. I felt enthusiastic as I stepped out, I was ready to conquer the world. I was ready to remain upbeat no matter what. However, things don’t always go that way. I wasn’t so happy as I journeyed back home and with the glimmers of hope that had dimmed and the Yeses that turned to Nos, I felt alone. I…

Like every other day
I go through the motions. Work, home, rest – rinse and repeat. It helps me to take my mind off of you, it keeps me distracted from my thoughts. I deliberately try not to think of you. The other day when I smelt your scent, I held my breath because I didn’t want to think of you. I see cars like yours and I take my eyes off the number plate, I do not want to check if it is you. Someone once said,…

I still want to run to you
It was a cold evening, it had rained heavily from late afternoon till that time. We drove home with talks, laughter and banter, it was our way- the playful and loving teasing. We decided to buy grilled fish before heading home, it was still drizzling so we closed the doors and held hands, the way we liked to do-it was a calm reassurance for both of us. The windscreen was still foggy from the rain…

Enthralled
You don’t realize how deep it is until you wake up by 2am in the morning, sweating, panting and the only thing you can think of is the pain. Everyone has demons. When some people hear this, they freak out. ‘Demon’ in this context is not the one your mind has been trained to believe, not some spirit in a black robe with a rod and horns. No, not that. Demons are the truths about yourself that you…
