KALYBOS the only boss with one S has become the new face of socialmedia entertainment and a Ghanaian YouTube celebrity. I recently had a hilarious chat with him to delve into the story behind that crazy funny character KALYBOS and how it all started. 

If Sex Positions were Ghanaian Dishes…

Ghanaian dishes are unique just like Sushi in Japan. Our foods are mostly starch based and mostly spicy. Even the bland meals are accompanied with some form of spicy sauce or soup. Sex is one of life’s basic functions which aside increases human population can be pleasurable and invoke deep emotional attachment between two people. When not done right its can really cause a whole lot of issues in a relationship. There are different types of sex positions just as there are different types of Ghanaian dishes. Some sex positions are hard to do and some Ghanaian dishes require also skill to prepare. Badly cooked meals can lead to frustrations amongst some people whose gateway to their hearts is through their stomach just as bad sex can lead to tension and problems in a relationship.

Obi finally gets to meet his knightress in shining amour. Is this the sort of game he wants to play? Its yet another display of good filming techniques. Tokumbo gets a surprise visitor who looks so much like Yvonne that it got me backtracking to make sure I had the right person in focus. Emeka and Sharon are having their little love fights and signs just tell me he is just getting tired of Daddy's little girl and her antics. I did find some scenes dragging on a bit and some a bit too predictable. It would be good to see more African print costumes and print accessories on the cast.

Things are so much different now. Men don’t want to use the word ‘date’ when he meets a girl he likes, choosing more to be in the hanging out zone than anything. Words such as 'we are talking' or 'I am seeing this person' are very common nowadays. No definition of sorts. Why can’t men simply ask a woman to be his girlfriend or just simply say, ‘I like you, would you be my girlfriend?’ These simple words seem to elude many young men out there and rather confuse a woman with visits to her home, chatting with her brothers and mother,  hanging around her in public places and acting like he’s her boyfriend and expects her to assume that he is. This is the same guy who when his friends’ asks who she is says, ‘She bi my paddie’ or ‘we dey.’ what does that mean anyway? Such a person isn’t ready for anything serious. 

The current economic state in Ghana is a slow strangulation for every Ghanaian. Prices of food, services, transport, fuel just keeps changing every day and week with the unstable foreign exchange also doing its own dance. Ghanaians in every home and industry are feeling not the pinch but the blow of hardship. 

In times like this, I believe one has to be wise in making some lifestyle changes and decisions to save money. These changes are necessary for any person looking to seriously cut back on some expenses to save the already depreciated cedi in their pockets. These are a few practical household money saving tips I hope you will find useful:

JoyFm once again organised its annual bridal fair with the usual splendour and buzzed activities.

Ghana has some unique places for entertainment, food corners, beach resorts, bars and bistros. But sometimes, some of these places arent really ideal to pop the question.

This Is What Happened At The Natural Hair Event In Accra- Afrotastic2014

Women in Ghana are going back to their roots of growing natural hair aka kpenkpeshie. I believe its moved past being a hair trend to become a sankofa lifestyle which never should have even become lost and is here to stay. 

I am deep in my transition stages, seven months going strong and I can't wait. A few questions I have asked myself is, so when I become natural how do I maintain it and with what? Imagine my surprise when I was told that the hair products used on permed couldn't be used on natural hair. But why was i surprised? It makes perfect sense. Whatever straightens kinky hair will rather destroy that same hair if you are trying to go back to coily hair.
