Singing along with angels: A tribute to Bernice - Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I dedicate this post to Bernice Offei, a neighbor at Legon for more than a decade, and a fellow worshipper at Legon Interdenominational Church. The Offei family was part of a warm and friendly neighborhood along with the Dovlo’s, the Pebi’s etc. As a writer, I particularly took interest in artists in the Lower Hill corridor; and was thrilled with the incidental presence of one of Ghana’s greatest singers: Bernice Offei. You could call our neighborhood the artist’s enclave. Here was Ebow Daniel m
CHEAP JUSTICE? - Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
But woe unto anyone who was named 'Justice' even at birth. It’s even worse if Justice was conferred as a title. In either case, please don’t run across the village square beating your chest as King Solomon; for Justice is also a cross, indeed an eternal burden that may trail you until death do you part. The title may sentence you to a life of misery: solitude, loneliness (‘anti-so,’), when you realize overnight that you are always home alone. If you break jail and escape to normal social life, J
The 24-hour nightmare - Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A 24-Hour Economy? or E-Comedy? Or E-Tragedy? A new national policy launched over a year ago is so late in coming that the schedule officer could as well issue the notice: ‘we are still looking into it.’ It is also the policy teeming youths still await to take them out of joblessness. Die-hard believers, even though sceptical, have not given up, driven by sheer faith ‘in His Mighty Name.’ The situation is similar to Gen Acheampong’s proposed Union Government in the late 1970s, which required con
Wontumi’s new home - Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reactions to the breaking news were varied: utter dismay and grief among party folks. Then nail bites, tear drops; ‘Eeei,’ ‘Aww,’ then ‘Hmm, this is political persecution. We shall appeal.’ But there were also muted celebrations, giggles, whispers of ‘Amen,’ ‘Thanks God, ’ plus a clink of champagne glasses. I refer to those with stony tear buds, only struggling to shed tears for Wontumi, and off camera whispering, ‘good riddance.’ Wontumi then deserved his plight: 'he is too boastful,’ ‘too loud
The vulture of silence - Kurom Ayɛ Dinn - Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is Ghana back to square one, still battling free speech? Listen to the sad tale of women at the back of a recent street demo, 34 years into the 4th Republic. ‘I want to tell the President, and I beg to say, if I don’t speak well please forgive me…. (voice shaking). I want to ask the President; has he cancelled freedom of speech? If it’s been cancelled or withdrawn, he should let us know; he should tell us so we learn how to express ourselves… Life is tough in this country. That is the problem he
