Yesu wo m'afa - ensuring that our prayers are answered

...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins

After seeing my favorite Black Stars agonisingly hit the goal post three times in the opening game of CAN 2008 and remain deadlocked with Guinea, I began wondering if this victory was to be. We finally scored and then the Syli Nationale replied almost immediately. Just when I was about to give up, Sulley Muntari produced a moment of magic two minutes to time and scored the winner. Ghana's biggest newspaper, the Daily Graphic, said sometimes one is tempted to believe that God is a Ghanaian. Apparently, God was on our side, and Esther Smith would agree with her song 'Yesu wo m'afa'. No matter how many heartbreaking missed chances we suffered, we would win in the end.

Mete ase yi - living to do God's work

...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins

I have encountered a few disabled people recently (as well as mental patients) who live in the US and have a lot of financial and medical support. I have been listening to Noble Nketsia's 'Mete ase yi' - which has been my favourite Ghanaian gospel song recently. The lyrics reminded me of disabled people in Ghana who do not have the support that their counterparts in the USA enjoy and the kind of treatment we meted out to them as a society. What can we do about this sad situation?
