We might have our difficulties here in Africa, especially in Ghana, but one thing I will always pride myself on is how we were brought up as children, even in rough and tough neighbourhoods.
Murder is a big deal out here. It’s almost alien to us because whenever something like that happens, it becomes major news. We announce and discuss almost every single case in the media, and as a people, we are always shocked and saddened by it.
But it seems to have become an almost regular thing in some parts of the West, which makes it scary for my people to feel safe out there.
I honestly don’t know what kind of upbringing shapes children to become so evil. I think some of my fellow Black brothers and sisters out there need to do better when it comes to raising their children and instilling the right values in them.
It’s very unfortunate that we had to lose Javits this way. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Sending love, prayers and strength to the family, especially his mum and dad.
My deepest condolences. ❤️

We grew up playing GTA San Andreas, exploring cities inspired by California and Nevada.
But what if it was Accra? Streets we know, places we recognise, our own city 🇬🇭🎮
That’s the idea behind Worldfolk, which I’m building: a GTA-style experience set in Accra.

This is silly.
Black women are not in competition with white women.
We are all women.
Both beautiful in our own ways.
Making a comparison is showing a deep rooted inferiority racial complex.

“A family in the Middle East booked me for millions, only for 3 people to show up. The daughter made me perform ‘Lonely’ for 2 hours while laughing. That’s when I realized I was just a jester to them.”
— Akon
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post is in quotes as if it is a direct quote from Akon but it is not. In the video, he says he was booked for one million, not millions. He said he played the song for one hour, not two. He never said he was being treated like a jester.

There’s a debate going on about which is worse: mosquitoes or bedbugs.
As someone who respects facts, trauma, and lived experience, let me be clear:
Bedbugs are the worst creatures to ever exist.
Mosquitoes?
We Africans are built for mosquitoes.
They disturb you, you slap one, you get malaria, you treat it, life moves on.
Use a net, cover your body, sleep with fan, you’ll still manage to sleep.
But bedbugs?
Ah.
When bedbugs enter your house, you are no longer the landlord.
You are the tenant.
In fact, you are the visitor.
If ONE bedbug enters your house today, by tomorrow morning they are about 70 million.
No meeting. No warning. Just multiplication.
Bedbugs don’t disturb sleep, they cancel sleep.
They don’t bite you, they traumatize you.
If you survive bedbugs, you may need therapy to feel safe in your own bed again.
Bedbugs will make you appreciate the Nigerian government.
Bedbugs are worse than bandits.
You can fumigate today, tomorrow, next week,
one or two will still survive to tell the story.
In fact, to finally defeat bedbugs, you have to leave the house for them.
You relocate.. While you probably wait for Trump to Nuke your area.
And let’s talk about their confidence.
Bedbugs existed before beds were invented.
Meaning they came prepared.
Humanity just caught up later.
Their scientific name is Cimex lectularius- you see the name? Bedbug is a senior lecturer.
And trust me, bedbugs will lecture you about life, humility, suffering, patience and why pride is useless.
In every language, the name “bedbug” never sounds friendly.
In Idoma, it's called 'ikpre'.
In Ebira language, it's call Ikazi (which sounds like 'irazi', meaning 'war') You dey hear am? Bedbugs is a bringer of war.
No translation sounds like peace.
So please, let’s stop this debate.
Mosquitoes are annoying but Bedbugs are demonic.
If bedbugs visit your house, you are the guest.
