Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
Tears Of the sky Can be blessings For the earth when it’s dry II Tears Of the sky Can be a curse For the earth when it’s wet III Know There’s change in all So plot but don’t plot to fall Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014

Today is Sunday, a day many churches wait for monies promised in the Bible to help the poor and needy and oh to give moral lessons. This is the day I choose to analyse and say my peace on the Pastor Obinim and Valentina’s saga. So apparently, Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa popularly known as Afia Schwarzenegger, […]
