Yep, Kwaku will now not accept my measly Gp50.
I haven't really interacted with Kwaku Doe in a while. A couple of days ago, I was the passenger in a friend's car and when we got to his spot, I saw it as an opportunity to have a conversation with him. I looked inside the car and found some coins. I put together Gp50, dropped the rest of the coins in the car (he actually saw me do that) and handed my bait to Kwaku. Guess what? He goes like it's not enough and he can't do anything with Gp50. When I look at him open mouthed, he goes like "awwww madam, you know me and my situation. we have been talking a lot. this 50 pesewas is not enough".
My friend gives me a you-gotta-be-kidding-me look and I silently hand over the rest of the coins to Kwaku Doe. By the time all that was done, the traffic light had turned green and we had to go.
All I got to say is Kwaku needs a job. The begging can't possibly sustain him cos all I got to give him is Gp50 (even that one kwraa, it is a lot to give someone that has done absolutely no work for you).
We all can't be professional writers; we all can't have our own newspaper columns. This right here is my space. I get to be my own writer and editor and everyone else will just have to settle to be my critic.
hahahah I love this your friend. I am pretty sure he is strong enough to work. Somebody find him a gardening job or something
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, he does appear strong enough to carry even 100,000 bricks in a minute. I'm all for him getting a job.

ReplyDeletehahahahaha... tell me about it.
DeleteThe post serves as a lighthearted commentary on the rising cost of living in Ghana at the time, as even those relying on charity began adjusting their "rates." Dentaa concludes that Kwaku appears physically capable and should find a job, as begging is an unsustainable way to combat the economic shifts. Click here - Vinyl Fence

While riding in a friend's car, Dentaa attempted to give Kwaku 50 pesewas (Gp50). To her surprise, Kwaku refused the coin, stating that it was "not enough" to help his situation. Dentaa eventually handed over all the spare coins she had in the car just as the traffic light turned green. concrete services in Jefferson GA
