Apples for Sale

Apple is a fruit I enjoy eating though not very often.  The secret behind my admiring apple is because it was first introduced to me by my husband-then my brother-in-the Lord.  In actual fact, he started toasting me with apples.

These apples I am writing about though sweet, they are not edible. Often when  one attends programmes like the Ghana Music Awards, Ghana Movie Awards, Miss Ghana Beauty Pageant, Miss Malaika Ghana, ACRAG Awards, just to mention but a few, one is greeted with these apples which are often offered (for only window shopping) by our pretty women folk from all classes of society – ranging from celebrities, students to the commoner.  Noted among them are popular celebrities and students from our tertiary institutions.

Gone are the days when a woman’s clothes were taken off before one saw her apples, these days however, the apples are seen even before the clothes are taken off.  If you think otherwise, take a close look at the shots below. Are these simply evening dresses or containers for displaying sweet apples?  What will compel a lady to put on such clothes or have her dress sewn with such low neck as to expose both apples on her chest?  Is it fashion or ignorance? Civilization or illiteracy?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Next time you stop to buy an apple or see those apples on display, remember this piece.
NOTE: Don’t eat any of those apples because you may be driven out of the Garden of Eden

Dear Sir, In adding my voice to the numerous befitting tributes occasioned by your untimely departure from this ‘terra firma’, I evoked this Roman Catholic prayer for the dead translated from Latin into English as: “May the angels take you into Paradise, may the martyrs welcome you on your way and lead you into the Holy City Jerusalem. May the choir of angels welcome you, and with Lazarus who once was poor, may you have everlasting rest.” I am convinced Jehovah heard and answered our prayers. Please prepare a place for us; for here is still hot and the unreasonableness and the political chicanery continues unabated. Sometimes I wonder whether this whole calling – politics, is worth it. Prof., for the purpose of this first letter I will not bore you with too voluminous a piece because I am aware you are a fresher (‘homo’) who has just joined the Dr Hilla Limanns, Munufies, the D.F. Annans, the Ala Adjeteys, the B.J. Da Rochas and many others who went long before you, so you must be ...
