Last week I was lucky enough to be one of 50 participants from all around the world who were invited to take part in a meeting on 'Gender, Sexuality and the Internet' organised by the Association of Progressive Communications. . You can imagine that this topic was just right up my stream. What piqued my interest even more was that the meeting aimed to develop a set of 'evolving feminist principles of the Internet'. That alone ... 

I was sitting at the airport,jittery. Trying to reach customer care on my phone; bunch of c#%zies wouldn't pick. My book wasn't helping keep me busy. Then these two young men next to me, an American and a Nigerian (from their accents). They had been speaking a while but it got more argumentative. Nigerian: "hold on, don't tell me boys intend to be eating their girls out during their periods! That's just nasty! Real ... 

Consequences, or the troubles of Mr Thomas Hughes My Hughes has put a woman in the family way. And things were about to get nasty. This world of ours is one of Consequences. In view of this, some wise persons have said that it’s best to always speak truth, because if you do, you can afford the luxury of forgetfulness. If on the other hand, you choose to embrace the seductions of untruth, you need to be constantly on the ... 

A month. It took Pomaa four full weeks to decide what she was going to say to Akoto when she got to Accra and to gather up the courage to say it. However, now that she was standing in front of Escarpment Shoes & Accessories in Labone, both courage and words had failed her. Courage or not, she couldn’t stand there gawking at the door like the village oaf. She squared her shoulders and pushed the door open. A blast of ... 

Fellow Adventurers, thank you so very much. For the 2nd consecutive year, this blog won 'best overall blog' at the Ghana Blogging and Social Media Awards. Malaka and I are overjoyed. A few minutes before seeing tweets that we had won in this category, we had been whatsapp'ing each other preparing ourselves for the possibility of not winning...BUT you all made sure we won by contributing to this blog, voting for us, and ... 

The headlines were dominated by coverage of Pomaa’s assault for weeks. What is your connection to this madman? Why did he refer to you as ‘Marie’? Are you in some way involved with the man who rescued the madman? By the way, my niece needs a job. When the park is open, will you be hiring? The entire six months she’d spent working on the new Kinetics Park were overshadowed by ten minutes of drama. No ... 

Hello Adventurers! Happy Friday!!! If you follow Poetra Asantewaa on Twitter, she'll tell you how she feels about multiple exclamation points in prose. She says multiple exclamation points are like penises: a great idea until it's time for execution in real life situations. I cracked up. Anyway, if you happened to miss today's Hangout on HIV and how we can each protect ourselves, please click this link. The show was ... 

These platform pumps were absolutely killing her, but they made her legs look great. Pomaa spackled fake smiles on her face to mask the wince hiding just beneath her lips. Flat shoes did not look nearly as good in photographs as heels did, and these onyx and teal Stuart Weitzman pumps supporting her legs would be the first thing people noticed in all the shots. It was now 4pm, and they would be losing light soon. Pomaa had ... 

Three hundred guests. Uncle Ekow wanted three hundred guests to attend the ground breaking of the new park. “And the whole media should be there,” he prattled excitedly. “Make sure to invite all the paramount and sub-chiefs in the area as well. My name is on this project and it must be top-class.” That might be difficult, given the budget such a proposal would require and her limited resources, Pomaa pointed ... 

This is a multi part story. Click here to read part 1. Here to read part 2. Here to read part 3. “Please tell me this is not the only time we are going to do this”. Nnenna and I looked at each other and started laughing. “Come on guys, this can’t be a one off ” Kunle insisted. “You just need to focus on enjoying the moment” I responded whilst still laughing. I was amazed how comfortable I felt entangled in a ...
