If you are single wear Red, be at the Aphrodisiac on Thursday

this is a valentine's special.

the caption is from something i overhead on the radio. singles were asked to wear red and show up at the aphrodisiac on thursday evening. non-singles were to wear blue. i guess aphrodisiac was a night club and it was happening there. no i wont be there, i have no clue where aphrodisiac is and i usually prefer resting in front of the TV (yes I did get one - one more piece of furniture). besides why couldn't valentine's day land on a friday?

i have given up finding problems or issues with this country. i guess when you come from a place where nothing really works (yeah throw the missiles) and you are faced with a different place where things seem to work, the difference is clearer than seven up! i hear that in the north there is violence. i have overheard news of clashes over chieftaincy titles,corruption amongst politicians, a drugs problem amongst others. but regardless the country has that westernized feel about it. things work despite everything.

this morning i had a lesson 101 on driving. i learnt to wear my c.o.a.t while driving. concentration, observation, anticipation and tolerance. there was an interview on tv with a road safety guru. he was publishing a book on defensive driving. he spent a couple of minutes describing the c.o.a.t process and i came to understand why ghanaians are such good drivers.
there is something about this country that gets into your system. the calmness and the politeness of the people is infectious.

the nation's cup is finally over. i want to now see what the real ghanaians are like without the nations' cup fever. i have a feeling that there wont be much difference. i have watched over six music videos and heard more songs about ghana and the nations' cup over the radio. the people just love being ghanaian i daresay more than i love being nigerian.

i wish you all a happy valentine.
