Posted on July 4, Updated on July 4, Do not be surprised if you spot me in your neighborhood one of these days. Also, do not try so hard to make me out since I may mutate in looks and names. However, should you still make me out, do not hesitate to lead me to more of these. In a golf-shirt, a pair of shorts and a pair of sneakers , I was out and about on my first tour of the city at night.
My first stop was at Nungua, a suburb of the ever-busy city of Accra. This part of the city bustles with all kinds of trade and activities even at night. Its coastal situation leaves a cool breeze on the land every night. Hardly would one see this stretch experiencing vehicular traffic and thus, it has gradually become a common route for many passengers going to Tema and its environs. Here, I came across these 3 moments :. In this context, it was maintenance of car. Trust me, it was difficult to finally identify what they spoke about since the adjectives they used were more like describing a damsel or wife, when in fact, it was a car.
Come to think of it, it is not always advisable to attempt making friends especially in a public transport. The driver picked up a passenger at a very dark place close to the beach. I wondered where she had been. She sat right next to me as I kept my eyes fixed on the movie been shown in the bus.
After few minutes, she asked if I could narrate the plot of the movie so far; in her absence. Excuse me, narrate what??? Dull, lady do I even know you. Silence was the only polite way to utter the above exclamations.
It is simply amazing how armed robbers now go about their duties with impetus. After the driver packed for a passenger to alight, a gentleman who allegedly feigned to be mentally derailed , approached the bus conductor to demand his sales for the day. He had neither gun nor knife, perhaps he was trying to activate the powers he had accessed from Antua nyama!
