The Agony of a broken heart.

Have you ever been in a relationship that felt like your were watching a sad video of yourself and your partner? One that seemed like a test; and every meeting seemed rehearsed. How tedious! What a bore!

What a paradox it is to be in a relationship and yet be so lonely. It almost feels like I am the wind, ever so present but invisible, and it is pathetic. Who is this person am with? I look at him and all i see is darkness in which I am ensnared. I am trapped in a prison without walls, a gate or locks.

This obscurity is  the feeling of a fall into a bottomless pit; all you know is that you are falling, oblivious of your what the future brings. One thing that is certain is that there will be no light still.

I look into his eyes and I see nothing, they dont light up, neither do they pierce my soul, they only stare back at me empty. His kiss, his touch... only spell out DESIRE and not AFFECTION. Like a robot he is programmed to say all the right things (which you obviously yearn for)   and apologizes so quickly after a wrong done that you wonder if he is aware of the purpose of his meaningless apology.He describes you in so many adjectives but he knows nothing concrete about you.
As much as you want to be freed from this prison, you want to stay because yo are secure of this dark place after all and you would rather not risk taking a road that is dark too but you are insecure of.

All that glisters is not gold, as humans we are conditioned to like what looks like gold, be it gold or not and reality sets in when "gold" turns to dung (maybe too harsh), or perhaps bile.

In the beginning you were a demigod, revered by all and at first sight nothing existed but love. And then you were the demon from hades with no words to describe your cruelty.

Does familiarity breed contempt or did daylight uncover your true self. How do you which one it is without being biased or disillusioned? This is the agony of a broken heart.

‘Slay queens’ and the gendered politics of poverty

  Moesha Boduong is a 30-year old Ghanaian actress, model and social media influencer. Moesha likes to serenade her 2.3m followers on Instagram with pictures of her lavish lifestyle. From fancy holiday trips to luxury cars and always showing off the latest fashion trends, the party never seems to stop with Moesha. The era of social media has highlighted a new phenomenon of ‘slay queens’, a phrase whose meaning has varied over time; from the positive – women “killing it” in their careers and lifestyles to the negative – women dating rich, often married, men to fund their lavish lifestyles. Moesha was for a long time tagged by bloggers as a slay queen. Many believed this was confirmed after she admitted in an interview in 2018 with CNN’s Christine Amanpour to dating a married man who took care of her because of the harsh economic conditions in Ghana. Another woman in that interview admitted to dating in exchange for being taken care of, although her beau was a single man. Slay q...

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 ...

End of Israel Diaries; Francisca meets handsome Iskas

After visits to the 'temple' of the holy virgin Mary; the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus was reputed to have prayed whilst his disciples slept; after being struck by the horrors of the past kept in present day Holocaust History Museum in Palestine; after getting a pass at me and oo a marriage proposal from a man nearly my father's age who claimed to have seen Jesus while tendering the flowers in the Garden of Gethsemane, it was time for food during the most famous visit to the holy land of Israel. Myself and other colleagues from some media organizations in Ghana settled for a dinner at a plush restaurant after a long day's work. A lot of the team “ISRAEL CREW” absented themselves because they were growing tired of the menu which often included egg plant and a lot of other things made from olives. It wasn’t so bad for me though because there were days with rice, shrimps, pasta and other familiar menu. While some team members had some challenge with the menu, th...
