So I am not much of a religious person but before you start raising eye brows let me say this, I strongly believe in the existence of God and I'm fighting a continual battle to make my peace with Him by resisting the temptations of the devil, whoever he may be... or is the devil a she?

Anyway I was recently minding my own business and having lunch in one of the African hangouts located in the Northern Virginia area and wondering whether God was mad at me for letting him down a million times right at the start of this 2010. Then I think to myself, this is a loving heavenly father and if I honestly beg of His forgiveness He'll freely give it, no strings attached.

I asked Anny Osabutey, a fellow journalist based in Accra, Ghana to ask the avid movie watcher back in Ghana to name ten of their favorite Nigerian actors and we were impressed to have gotten more than the requested number of names. However the case will not be the same about any Ghanaian movie actors.

Ghanaians have acquired a strong taste for Nigerian movies and thanks to the local television networks in Ghana this strong craving for Nigerian movies is properly satisfied since the television networks do this to have a strong and continual viewer-ship. Thanks to the above, names such as Ramzy Noah, Genevieve Nnaji, Patience Ozorkor, Uchie Jumbo, Desmond Elliot, Jim Iyke, Rita Dominic are far more familiar among movie watchers in Ghana.

You don't need to be from Togo to feel the trauma of suffering the misfortune of the ban placed on that nation's soccer body by the African football controlling body; CAF. CAF president-Issa Hayatou-on January 30th, the eve of the finals of the 27th African Cup of Nations in Angola unfortunately announced a two-tournament ban on Togo coupled with a $50,000 fine.

As you African soccer followers will recall, Togo's team was traveling to the oil-rich Angola enclave of Cabinda for a Group B match schedule of the tournament when the bus on which the team was traveling got ambushed by rebels who opened fire on them.

This is my first attempt at blogging although I have been browsing other blogs for all these years. Anyway I was in Batan (land of my birth) for close to five and half months - the longest that I have stayed away from my family in the past five years.

Why? I guess I got tired of all the junk food. I came with high expectations only to meet a slow economy, unannounced lights off, no water,  slow Internet connectivity that is if it even connects.
