CHOICES



photo credit:google images
Every day of our lives we are faced with having to make decisions. Some are minor decisions such as what to eat, which dress to wear, even which trotro we prefer to sit in. Other not so minor decisions, like a choice between two free elective subjects and then really major life changing decisions: those that Bishop Tudor would call destiny decisions. Every decision, however minor eventually contributes to who we ultimately become. But, make no mistake, those major decisions can simply make or unmake you. This is why we need to be careful before taking decisions, especially when we are in a bit of our feelings. 
Without a doubt a shopping spree when we are overly excited could take a drastic toll on our pockets and lead to some broke days. Conversely choosing to settle a relationship dispute on a day that we are feeling a bit annoyed with everyone could lead to using some words which could cause irreparable damage to one’s relationship. We are not always going to be in a good mood, and that's why we need to be careful what we say when we are upset. Conversely when we are over excited we need to hold on with some decisions which in a more sober mood may seem a bit irrational. Life is about finding the right balance, without which we are going to be weighed either too low which could make us sink or too high which could make us fall off.
 
 The opportunity to make a choice is a beautiful gift, but we have to be careful, because whether we like it or not our choices have consequences and we would have to live with the results of those choices.

A god’s election.

All the houses that led to the Kansie shrine had no aluminum roofing. The first thing you noticed at the premises were the skull of donkeys in the rocks that housed the shrine. The skulls were kept buried because whenever it was left in the sun, the entire village suffered migraines. Everyone who entered the shrine had to be topless. No one ever returned from Kansie still bearing whatever issue had caused them to enter into it in the first place. This was where recognized fetish priests sought fortification from; and where they directed important people to seek help when they knew they could not handle the situation they brought with them. One had to be parsimonious and ready to do as was directed, because when the gods decided on what sacrifice they wanted, no appeal was heard. The national election was in two weeks and Fynn Aggrey was contesting. This was his second time running and although six others had picked up nomination forms, it was a clear contest between Fynn and Nii A

I want to be like you..,sure?

Just before he entered University of Ghana he was involved in an accident so had to move around with the aid of crutches. During that time, there was intermittent supply of water, meaning he needed to go fetch some for use. His cousin who had been helping him throughout his registration had left after he got his room and bed.  Now there he was, standing in front of the hall, with a bucket by his side, metals in his legs, P.O.P around them and holding his crutches; feeling extremely depressed wondering how he was supposed to function in school without any help; asking himself if he should have just stayed home. But right there, he saw another student walking towards the hall, a visually impaired student, tapping the ground with his cain as he made his way slowly into the hall. He said that was the last time he allowed himself to ever get depressed about whatever situation he found himself in, because as bad as he felt his present situation was, he had so many other things going on for

A FAMILY AFFAIR

KenaKrom was a small fishing village, which lacked any vibrant form of modern entertainment, the old folks were left to telling stories to their grandchildren at sunset to keep them entertained. The young adults gathered in the town square to listen to the men play drums while the females danced. The highlight of the people’s year was when they celebrated their festival. They watched as the chief priest performed various strange acts while the best drummers played to urge him on. After the festival he chose the most handsome looking young boy in the village to be taught by him and train him as a future priest. This year, rather surprisingly the gods had chosen who the villagers agreed was the most unintelligent child. Kenakrom’s richest family was the Nyarko-Ansah family. The Nyarko-Ansah family was not only the richest but the largest, and more than half of the people of this small village traced their lineage to this family’s ancestry. The village kingmakers came from that family,
