The sun, almost at its setting,
The wind, once restless & rude,
now carries seasoned rhythms
The ground, drying, only dust, lifted from where waters were
Birds diving in pursuit of loose fishes
There, in Anloga Lagoon, I will pass the evenings composing songs never yet heard
Two years backwards into life…
Between the whispering waters of the Volta Basin and the silent, thunderous embrace of Shai’s hills.
Before the soles met the earth unguarded, before the spirit walked unshackled.
Before the barefoot…

Ɔkɔtɔ Nwɔ Anomaa is a reflection on fragmented histories & layered identities. Like our stories the mud house bears the weight of time. Shippie’s art weaves symbols, natural pigments, memory, and material, revealing that identity is never singular.

I & I in the midst of WE & WE
MFA Year 2 Semester 1 Week 3
Under the shade of wisdom, in the company of seekers, storytellers, & visionaries; where laughter echoes like an ancient hymn & conversations flow like sacred rivers.
A moment woven with the threads of knowledge, spirit..
These days we highly communicative,
& my face says it all.
Gaze, Grip, & posture of a mind refusing to shrink.
Unbothered by noise, I sit in knowing,
History on skin, future in palms,
& a tongue that only speaks undiluted truth.
No apologies. No filters. Just presence. Just me.

Great news!
Labadi Beach Hotel has successfully secured an injunction against the Blays in a spirited effort to take back their beachfront.
This wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t overwhelmingly vote for change.
Thank you Ghana for liberating the victims of State Capture.
We shall surely recover all loot!
I responded to President @NAkufoAddo’s invitation for a courtesy visit to the Presidency this morning to begin the transition process.
We had a cordial meeting, and the President briefed me on security and the economy. Later today, we will inaugurate the Joint Transition Team.
I also expressed my sincerest appreciation to the President for his phone call on Monday to congratulate me. It was a good mark of statesmanship, giving me a sense of déjà vu.
Democracy and Ghana are the winners following the electoral process. Despite all the anxieties people had ahead of the election and voting day, Ghana has done it again.
We can be sure that our democracy is safe, and by working together across bipartisan lines, we can continue to deepen and consolidate it.

My brothers and sisters,
I come before you tonight as your President-elect to again express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support in Saturday’s election.
This is a moment of hope, unity, and opportunity for our great nation. However, I must address a matter of urgent importance.
Transitions from one administration to another create the impression of a vacuum of power. Certain people are easily compelled to act in their own parochial interest instead of the national interest.
I have received reports of attacks on state offices and installations. While it is unclear who is behind these attacks, I condemn them in no uncertain terms. These acts must cease immediately.
As I said during my post-declaration speech, I urge the youth not to vent their frustration in criminal enterprises. Instead, they must channel their anger and frustration into the positive enterprise of resetting and rebuilding our beloved nation.
I urge all citizens to remain calm and avoid actions that could harm our institutions and democracy. We have fought hard for change, and now is the time to demonstrate our commitment to building the Ghana we want through unity and understanding.
Because state power is still in the hands of the present administration, I call on the president and the security agencies to act decisively to curb the ongoing acts of lawlessness.
Thank you, and may God bless Ghana.
