During the holiday yesterday, having the pleasure of not receiving a phone call or a visit from any of my perceived friends or the potential ones, i had a lengthy conversation with self.
Oh sure, we talked at length. But I'll share just one of the parts of it. The one about Ghanaian moments. There is this advert by the bitter-tasting making brewery company in Ghana, Club Beer. The advert considers a real Ghanaian moment and after ridiculing the Ghanaian way of life ends with the line, "You can't do this in Germany."
So I'll share one of them we talked about. Coming from church one Wednesday evening, in one of the many communities of Tema i saw an only in Ghana scene. People crossed the roads at a zebra crossing in tough flight. I mean the passengers were running. The last time i checked, the zebra crossing was the one part of the road where you could relax and take a stride in the road. But not in Ghana, crossing at these points is like crossing the motorway with one of those long vehicles and an i-don't-mind-killing-us-all 207 bus coming at tough speed(another Ghanaian word to describe terrific speed of cars) to just give u the Midas touch.
The other is of adverts, there is the epic,"4 sale" which is on most cars or for sale products. I'll share three of them i have seen.
At a taxi station, i saw this beautifully written "For hairing"
On a long vehicle at a car spraying shop(fitter shop) was, "yes we save a living God". I don't really wanna go into this but i figure it was written by our ...brethren.
Then the last and definitely not least,"Dog children for sale. Boys and girls available"
Only in gh man. I'll now get back into mischief, cheers.
