Out of the strong..

That morning he spoke about the king that wanted to kill Mary's child, so ordered for a census, compelling the couple to change their schedule, subsequently forcing the lady to give birth at a place where they (the couple), had not intended. What they didn't know and what the king had not intended to do, was to get them at the exact place destined for her to birth her baby.

He said it in his usual fascinating way that I kept laughing listening to him, enjoying it. I didn't know that very day I would be tested.

When I got to the office, the manager said there was to be a reassignment of offices but he may keep me where i was. I told him i was familiar with that place and I wanted to keep being there. Everyone told him to let me stay. He agreed and said Ofcourse.

Mid afternoon he brought a notice. I had been moved. I was annoyed, felt betrayed: you told me you won't change me! Every one told him he didn't do well. He started feeling guilty and said he would reassign me. Good!

Then i remembered the message: they thought they were putting the couple in a position of discomfort but they were actually going where they had to be.

I ran to his office and begged him not to change me. Everyone was surprised, we thought you wanted this. I had changed my mind.

The new office was the best place I could have been, i daresay. Till date i talk about my schedules and laugh at the look of sheer envy that crosses the faces of some people I mention it to.

So don't worry when it seems people are going out of their way to put you in an uncomfortable position. Out of the eater can come something to eat,and out of the strong can sweet things come from.

God has you. Trust

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 ...

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, ...
