The Golden Baobab Prize


So somewhere last week, Nana Ama (@JunkieOnMars) contacted me, her mission was upsetting, funny and confusing at the same time. I don’t know why she decided to suggest that to me but after our conversation, I thought through it and realized how it would benefit me if I tried.

Nana Ama was able to gather courage to tell me how I have been disturbing her twitter timeline for decades and how I should put my writing (tweets) to good use. She went ahead to suggest this writing competition that is up now and asked me to take part so I get something from my ‘noise’! I got confused because I thought most of you enjoyed and loved my tweets, I thought you people always waited to see my tweets and you were not fed up with the number of times I shared my works on twitter. Anyway, it’s all good, I am going to slow things down now, at least for some days because I want to take part in this competition and I also want you to try it out because I know most of you are writers, let’s just have fun writing.

It’s the Golden Baobab Prize and this time they are awarding 3 prizes.

• The Picture Book Prize awards $1,000 to the best story written for readers ages 6-8;
• The Early Chapter Book Prize awards $1,000 to the best story written for readers ages 9-11
• The Rising Writer Prize awards $1,000 to the most promising young writer below the age of 18.

I think I am going to try my hands on the second and I need to do it fast because the deadline is fast approaching. The deadline is July 14, 2013, so I have, let’s say a little over 2 weeks more to work. I know some of you can write or definitely know people who are writers, just spread the news so they take part and ensure that you tell them how they need to split the prize money with you. You also don’t just get money but also publishing deals and opportunities to attend exclusive Golden Baobab writer’s workshops.

I have done my part, the rest is up to you. You can find additional info at:

The Body Of A Woman





I am saying hi to 2013 and also to you all. How many of you didn’t make it to this year, show by hands. How many of you never expected to travel this far, show by soles. And how many of you are ready to handle 2013,show by ‘vim’. Infact, I never expected to come this far myself, like I always say, my age now was very old for me when I was in my teens and 2013 looked like forever to me. Since I am here, I am going to bask and make the best out of it. Have a good 2013 and let’s all get what we want by the end of the year. Those who made their resolutions public on facebook and twitter, I will be watching you
I have always appreciated nudity, ‘female nudity’. I don’t know if that is the appropriate way of saying it but…. I guess you all know what I am trying to put across. My vocabulary is very limited. Anyway, I have always appreciated it more when a good-looking female with a perfect body is nude. And I know that when I say ‘perfect body’, you guys will start looking at the slim/slender girls, yes, the model type of girls. Your minds have been ‘westernized’ so I wont judge you, and please don’t judge me too with this post. Plump/fat people have attractive bodies too and in my part of the world, when you are slim, you are said to be poor but a ‘fat’ person is always considered to be living a good life plus more.
I have always loved studying the female body so in the early 2000s when I had my freedom, I used to go to the beaches and swimming pools a lot. I go there to swim but most of all to study/watch all those ladies there sporting assorted bikinis. Most of the time, I am not disappointed at all. God is the best artist in the whole universe and I am wondering how long it took Him to make woman. I am sure he spent time on that because He didn’t go wrong at all. Woman is a perfect piece of art and I think nothing beats this art piece. There have been several times where I had hidden somewhere in the house to look at the naked body of my woman, I am always studying how her breasts wiggle when she walk around the room naked and how her ass shakes as she takes her steps. There is a reason why I haven’t bothered to fix another bathroom door after I took the last one out. The last one had no problem but I still took it out. Yes, there is a reason. My wish is to become and ‘nude’ photographer one day because I have all of these crazy shots in my head and please, I took that picture you are seeing on this page, I took it a long time ago.
I like seeing our women in kaba and all that but sometimes it hinders. Kaba is always loose on the body so I find it hard to study their curves and all. Anyway, until then, I will still go to the beaches and swimming pool and keep on studying the body of my woman when she is taking her bath in my door-less bathroom.
Have a good 2013
