NATURALLY ENDOWED! IRRESISTIBLY CUTE!! a nii commey handwriting




The beauty of Lucy possessed a physical taste of the average African Man- that kind of beauty that easily entices men. Naturally endowed! Irresistibly cute!!
And so here I sat in the trotro at the Achimota bus terminal waiting to be driven home. My eyes began to wander, until it fell on the striking beauty of Lucy, lurking around. She was so pretty I reflexively stopped munching my favourite nkatie burger just to stare at her wondrous charm. And she was not shamelessly dressed.
“What a beauty!” I soliloquized. I began to fantasize, hoping she would board the trotro and sit by me. As silly as it may have seemed, it was soon to become a reality.  Before I could take my eyes off her, Lucy had come on board and seated next to me. Her spongy flesh touched my body in the name of pushing for space for other passengers. Jeez! It was as though 140,000 megawatts of electrical power had hit my body. My heart bounced in sheer ecstasy. “I surely will get her contact number”. I muttered.
For fresh breath, I hastily hid the “nkatie burger” to make way for a PK Gum.  At this point, I was uprightly seated; the tail of my right eye, uninterruptedly gazing at God’s handiwork in marvelous admiration. She greeted me with an alloy of a nod and comprehensive smile which exposed the gap in between her teeth. It was a sight to behold. The visible display of her dimples proved to me why I had to debunk the idea that dimples were a deformity! I responded to her greetings with a shout. Two times!
The trotro by now was in motion. The tail of my left eyes intermittently caught glimpses of a man my father’s age, glaringly “girrafing” in lustful appetite to watch Lucy. The driver’s conductor was so astounded by her splendor that he almost offered her a free seat. Idiot! The driver himself was busily adjusting his- rear and side mirrors to engage his eyes in a tourist manner. Lucy’s phone rung. It was an opportunity to feel her voice. Listen to her: In twi language:
“Yess… who is that? Ahhh Blaa Eliki (she meant, Bro Eric)….I hate nansins oo.  Is it by force to frash you?. Please…. Please clear off my phone with your stupidity. You don’t know me well huh? You go and ask! kwasia sem akwakwa! mtcheeew”.
 Momentarily, I thought I was the one on the other side of the phone call. Fear gripped me so I became cautious of my body contact. She shifted attention to the conductor
“Erh, mate, you too won’t you give me my balance. Must I beg?”
Silence in the trotro. The old man was at this time admiring all the trees outside; the driver tilted his mirrors to keep him out of sight; a woman behind me whispered “hmm. If you dare take suich a girl as your wife. Hmm!” I quickly abrogated my plans to freely resume my sweet nkatie burger. After all who was I trying to impress? Mtcheeww!  I began to reflect what my grandfather’s advice on BEAUTY!
“It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.” 
 And Lucy gave me 1000 reasons to give grandpa thumbs up in his grave. What would you pursue- Beauty or Personality?

Africa Climate Communication Summit to Shape the Continent’s Narrative Ahead of COP 30

Image
  The story of climate change in Africa is often told through figures: rising temperatures, shrinking farmlands, or the billions needed for adaptation. On September 21-22, 2025, that story will be retold in a different way. The Stories for Change Foundation, through its Climate Communication Africa Programme, in partnership with Africans Communicating Africa, is convening the first Africa Climate Communication Summit (virtual edition), where voices, performances, and storytelling will take centre stage in shaping Africa’s climate narrative and setting the tone for the continent’s engagement at COP30 in Brazil. The summit will open with a creative spoken word performance, setting the mood for a gathering that blends science and storytelling. Instead of technical jargon, participants will hear words and rhythms that echo the daily struggles and resilience of communities living with droughts, floods, and unpredictable rains. “This is Africa’s opportunity to shape the narrative on clim...

ADVANCING CLIMATE DIPLOMACY ON THE SHORES OF BANJUL

Image
Just concluded an incredible International Stocktaking Conference on Climate Change in Africa in Banjul, The Gambia. As the Communication Focal Person, alongside my colleagues from The Gambia and Burkina Faso, it was a thought-provoking moment to realise that community-based communication emerged as one of the key climate action areas deserving greater attention. If we are to drive meaningful change, the voices of the grassroots must be heard. Intentionally and consistently. Effective climate communication is not just about disseminating information; it is about fostering dialogue, ensuring accessibility, and empowering communities to take ownership of climate solutions. From a climate diplomacy perspective, the conference provided an excellent platform for North-South cooperation, reinforcing the need to deepen climate resilience strategies. The discussions underscored the importance of collaborative policymaking, knowledge exchange, and capacity building as critical components of...

The Magic Wand of Communication in Multicultural Climate Action

Image
I was in Lomé to moderate and provide communication guidance to the West Africa Hub of the Independent Global Stocktake regional workshop in Togo, where climate leaders gathered with one goal in mind: to ignite climate action. The energy in the room was electric as government representatives, climate experts, and civil society actors joined forces to review and enhance regional climate plans. Together, we witnessed a collective commitment to a more sustainable future. This workshop took place against the backdrop of an important milestone. A technical Report on West African countries' commitment towards fighting climate change has been disseminated with UNFCCC focal points from 15 West African countries. Well, the outcome of the report can be discussed another day. But what struck me most was the power of effective climate communication in the midst of dissenting views on the report(which is normal, when it doesn't favour you). Meaningful dialogue and inclusive engagement were...
