🚨JUST IN
Black Sherif’s “Sun Sherif Vol. 1” has become the fastest Ghanaian EP in Spotify history to have all its songs surpass 1 million streams each.
Yesterday, my sister and I were deep in one of those ordinary, unremarkable conversations that carry no warning of becoming memorable. In the middle of it, I casually remarked, “She appears pretty, but yet not quite.”
My sister paused, turned to me with that knowing look, and said, “You nor feel say na English de nor too much for dis ordinary conversation?”
That was it. I laughed so hard I nearly disgraced myself in my own sweatpants. It was the kind of laughter that comes uninvited-raw, uncontrollable, and thoroughly deserved.
Later, as I lay there replaying the moment, another memory surfaced. I had been speaking with a friend, and in response to something he said, I dropped, quite effortlessly, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”
He didn’t even argue the point. He simply sighed and replied, “That’s so English of you, but duya go de less me small pa di English.”
At that point, I should have taken the hint. But no-apparently, my relationship with English proverbs is both committed and unapologetic.
Then came the final blow. One of my girlfriends, in a group chat, once said, “Way you kin write some sentence pass person go begin look for meaning, en we nor meet up.”
Now, lying here and stitching these moments together, I cannot help but laugh at myself. It seems I have unintentionally turned everyday conversations into a quiet exhibition of vocabulary-where simple talk becomes layered, and ordinary words dress up like they have somewhere important to be.
At this point, I have accepted it. My people keep roasting me lek “roast Casada”.
But hey, I love them still.
