Once upon a time you fell in love with your bestfriend....

I bet you're thinking, "did we live happily ever after?" Well did you?
Falling in love with your best friend  always seems like the best thing to do, well because there has been friendship initially. There's always that one person in your, yes of a different gender, you are so close to him/her and you hang out together. He/she listens to you complain about crappy dates and you cry on his/her shoulder, you spend hours chatting and you always keep in touch no matter what, he/she understands you and isn't a jerk or doesn't nag about everything, he/she listens to you and understands you so you think that you are compatible.

Well for some people you can say they lived happily ever after but i bet it wasn't easy for them despite how well they have known one themselves and how comfortable they are. There are so many true stories of best friends' love affair turn sour,  remember Rihanna and Chris Brown?
Why do you think that your best friend changed after the relationship advanced. But has he/she? Or are we blinded by our own insecurities and expectations? Man is afraid of  change, which on the contrary is essential for growth. Wouldn't you agree with me that its often difficult for girls to embrace their new roles as lovers and are always looking for their best friend, and when they don't find him he has or changed or is a jerk. Guys forget their former roles as friends - of course they would -and only enjoy being boyfriends and when she wants a friend it means she nags a lot.
This kind of relationship is actually tougher than is often perceived. In order to make it work a compromise is necessary. Old and new roles (best friends and lovers) have to merge and this is a task ahead of those best friends out there.

THE POLITICS OF AFRICAN HAIR: Why is African Hair Unpopular?

I finally shared the full story behind my hair on my Tv show Inside Pages on Metro Tv. Today I’m going to give MY TAKE on the Achimota school-Rastafarianism-dreadlocks saga and it will be about MY HAIR EXPERIENCE- as you know and can see I have kept my hair in its natural state for years and there’s a story behind it. First, I’ll talk about My Big Chop and then 2 major experiences after the chop. • The big chop In my second year at the University of Ghana, in 2008 I made a practical decision. I stopped applying perming cream to my hair to straighten and remove the texture. I did this to allow for new growth in anticipation of a big chop. This was contradictory to the wild joy I embraced soon after completing SSS, now SHS. Perming my hair was the long-awaited moment of freedom from the many years of compulsory cutting of hair per the rules of mainstream education. But few years down the line, it was no longer freedom and joy because of the cuts and burns from the perming cream. My hair ...

Let’s gives our children the right start! Let’s Be Fair Ghana!

Elizabeth lifts her hand swiftly as soon as her teacher asks for a volunteer to read out a passage to the class. Her teacher calls on her and she marches boldly to the board, reads loudly and clearly and is rewarded with a round of applause. I was proud of her. I got to meet Elizabeth when I had the opportunity to visit Sandema in the Upper East Region during a field visit with UNICEF. Elizabeth is a primary 3 pupils of Alama Basic School. Elizabeth and her classmates impressed me. It was very evident that they understood the passage and each of them took turns going to the board. This scene alone made it all worth it. It may be hard to believe, but 7 children in primary 3 out of every 10 in Ghana are unable to read and write even though they should be able to. This begs the question, are we being fair to our children? If this number of children at that age cannot read or write how do we prepare them to learn others skills?    continued to wat...
