Beautiful Things..

I won't lie, I admire beautiful things.,and people. When I come across beautiful images of people, even randomly,for example on the internet, the first thing i do is show it to whoever I'm around and tell them how beautiful I think the person is( male or female).

I remember sharing an image of a male model i saw online on my whatsapp status and jokingly asking my friends to help me thank the Lord for being a master creator.
It is okay to admire beautiful images, to pray to have similar things in one's own life, but most times people want what they see without being willing to find out what process the person went through to have what they do. People are not often willing to pour in the hard work others did to have what they now do.
A nice image of a married couple will not on its surface tell the story of the many tests that has rocked the marriage. It would not show the sacrifices the couple have had to make to get to the point they are at now.

There is a church that recently moved to my neighborhood and more than once people who do not know about the origins or early beginnings of the church tell me 'Naana, have you seen the church that just started here? You should see the number of cars that have parked there. Just now o!'. And then when I tell them how long the church has been in existence and that even though they recently started in the neighborhood, they didn't just start recently start but merely changed venues,the surprise is evident on their faces and then they usually keep quiet.

It is typical of we humans to talk 'bad' about things we don't know much about when we don't understand how it operates. It is often the case that we either 'bastardize' what big things others have or are doing because our's are not doing as well. Or we envy what others have, so that we want it for ourselves without being willing to pay the price. That is why sometimes people don't go out to have 'just' a relationship with a married woman,but they go out there plotting on ways to get her husband out of the picture so they can have the good wife for themselves.

Anything that you take forcefully you often lose in same manner but what you admire you attract.
So when someone is operating in an area you would want to be in, try to understudy the person. Be willing to learn from the person. If you can't get access to them personally, get access to their materials and be willing to pay the price that is required,to have the rewards that you desire.It will pay off in the end.

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,
