The city of Venice is on my bucket list. It's one of the places I really want to visit. Just the concept of an entire city on water is infinitely exciting to me. Any time friends of mine return from there, they bring such wonderful stories about the architecture, the art, the people… Today, I'll tell you the story that really made me fall head over heels in love with that magical city. Just round the corner from ST Mark's Basilica is a small café called Molto. After touring the Basilica, my coffee-addicted friend Jamie, who was on holiday with her sister, stopped at this café for some Italian Espresso. While they were sipping their drinks, a man in a business suit came up to the counter and made a strange order. "Two black coffees please. One for the wall". He said. The sisters looked at each other quizzically, but the waiter nodded and made the man his order. He handed one black coffee to the well dressed customer, and wrote "Café Nero" (which...

I spent a large chunk of 2007 in bed. First, I was in a coma for a good while, but after I woke up, I had to stay a few more months getting treated for kidney failure. It wasn't easy being stuck in a bed for such a long time, but I had a nice, private room with a window overlooking the park, so it wasn't entirely terrible. I spent days on end, lying on my side looking out of my window, observing the wildlife in the park. As Summer turned into Autumn, a bird started to make her nest in the low branches of the tree outside my window. She would fly off somewhere and return with twigs and fluff and other materials to build her new home. Judging from how fast she worked, it shouldn't have taken her more than a couple of days to finish the project, but every morning, she would come back to find that her nest had been wrecked during the night - either by squirrels or foxes or the wind, or some other agent of destruction. Unperturbed, the little bird would pick a higher br...

As quality lies in the eyes of the buyer, so as does beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But does beauty really matter in our daily endeavors? I am asking this because in life, you need not to judge anyone by their appearance because in everybody, there is a great kind of beauty. But wait!! I want to introduce you to the four categories of women we have: THE BEAUTY ; She is the one who is good looking at first sight and remain as good looking after a more critical look. THE PRETTY; She is one who receives compliments from passers-by but is not so extraordinary after a careful look. THE ATTRACTIVE; She is one whose beauty is so catchy; one cannot help but look. Her beauty never fades after a critical examination. NICE; She is one whose looks do not seem so catchy; yet though, if you look again, you realize her beauty is a hidden one. So which category do you belong? But this should not bother you, because you are wonderfully created in the images and lik...

The man in the middle of all the Amanda Acquah scandals has exclusively spoken to Peacefmonline.com. German based Ghanaian Radio Presenter and Event Organizer, Rodney Aboagye who is friends with both Afriyie Acquah and his wife Amanda have made some shocking revelations as he stated his side of the story to Peacefmonline.c om. Rodney has been accused by Amanda and Afriyie Acquah of being behind Amanda's leaked nude pictures and he is also the gentleman whose voice is heard on the Amanda Acquah viral audio recently. "Amanda chatted with someone's husband and sent him some nude pictures. This came on Instagram and Amanda went to Chris Vincent of Ghanacelebrities.com to put my name and the name of Afriyie Acquah's ex-girlfriend Jessica accusing us of being behind those pages and leaking the nude pictures which is not true, but they released those information to Ghanacelebrities.com just for damage control and divert the heat on me. I called them and told them to p...

A 43-year-old man who lost the use of his genitals at the age of six has been given a "bionic penis." The new device, which is 20 centimeters (eight inches) long, uses fluids from an implant in his belly to inflate two tubes along its length. It is controlled by a button on his scrotum. Mohammed Abad from Edinburgh, Scotland, lost the use of his penis in a tragic accident as a child when he was hit by a car and dragged for 180 meters (600 feet). Three years ago, doctors began using skin grafts from his arm to create a new penis for him, which has finally been attached after an 11-hour operation at University College London. "When you want a bit of action you press the 'on' button," Abad told The Sun. "When you are finished you press another button. It takes seconds. Doctors have told me to keep practising." Abad can now achieve an erection for the first time since the accident. The new appendage should also apparently allow him to start a f...

I love fruit - any kind of fruit, really -but my favourite are grapes. For many years, on my way to work, I would stop at my favourite fruit stall just outside London Bridge train station and buy a bunch of green grapes. I'd then sit on a bench, waiting for my train, cheerfully munching on the juicy fruit, while reading the newspaper. One morning, while I was engrossed in my usual "Fruit and Financial Times" routine, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the rather smartly dressed man sitting next to me was reaching boldly across to help himself to the grapes I was eating. Now, I'll be honest, the whole thing took me aback a little, but I didn't want to cause a scene, so I pretended I hadn't noticed what he'd done. Then he did it again. This time, with even more boldness. I lowered my paper and looked directly at him so he would know I'd seen what he was doing. But that didn't stop him. He just smiled at me, picked a couple more grapes f...

Esi: Message from the Morning Man by Kojo Yankson Today, I'd like to tell you a story about a girl from Cape Coast called Esi. Esi had been married for less than three months, and was already hating her life. It wasn't her husband's fault - in fact, he was lovely. Attentive, caring and amorous enough to make a whole volleyball team of wives happy. No, the problem was Esi's mother-in-law. Now that woman was trouble. She sat in her rocking chair on the veranda from dawn 'til dusk and did nothing but criticize, insult and abuse Esi. Nothing she ever did was right. Esi would go shopping at Kotokuraba market to prepare dinner for her husband only to come home and find that the old woman had cooked something else for her son. Every time Esi walked past , the old woman would spit on the ground. Once, she overheard her mother-in-law on the phone saying, "I really don't know what my boy sees in that donkey. If she can't be beautiful, at least, she should be ...

Those saying Sarkodie is not a mason or an illuminati puppet are all ignorant and are not ready to open their eyes. The triangle with one eye inside is known as All Seeing Eye or the eye of horus. Horus is a significant deity in ancient Egypt. Freemasons use this sign to show their allegiance to satan and their 'handlers'. This is the reason why most mainstream entertainers cover one eye or wear anything with this masonic insignia whenever they in-camera. Moreover Sarkodie is most often seen doing the masonic hand sign known as 'the devil's horn' and according to Anton Lavey who is the founder of the Church of Satan, this hand sign is use by satanists to curse someone when it is pointed at you. Sarkordie is undoubtedly handled by the elites of the illuminati and he has no other option than to show a perfect allegiance to his 'master' because they have made him a better person since Freemasons,illuminati, bone and skull,the knight Templars always say th...

I came across this argument on the internet and it caught my attention. I would love to share with you all and will be happy if you can also enlighten the blog readers on the argument below by posting your comments. Below is what Chris Baggio posted on his timeline; PONDER ON THIS Lets just say God is Omniscent.That is he knows everything.He knows the outcome of any situation even before they happen.This is all true when you read the Bible. Knowing this,does it mean he (God) knows whether I will go to Hell or Heaven after I die? Does it also mean he knew where I will spend eternity when he was creating me? Well,I will say YES because according to the bible he knows the outcome of any situation beforehand. I then ask,''why did he(God) create me'' knowing very well I am doomed for Hell? Nice topic to discuss on right? Let's see how others retaliated to the above topic by Chris Baggio. Hansie Louw: He knows all possible outcomes, but he leaves the choic...

Message from the Morning Man by Kojo Yankson Not many people know more about the minds and motivations of criminals than William Julius Wilson. He has written several books on the subject, and done extensive research into the conditions factors that motivate people to do the wrong thing. He has measured the influence of race, religion, gender, poverty, childhood trauma, even hair colour - on the likelihood of a person breaking the law. In a lecture at Harvard, he said, "Every human is motivated to break the law, because crime pays physical and/or emotional dividends.The difference between those who commit crimes and those who don't, is opportunity. When a person sees the opportunity to get away with doing the wrong thing, it becomes irrational for them not to". Wow. What a scary, yet remarkable observation about human nature. The more you think about it, the more you realise how true this must be. Most people do the right thing only because they are afraid of the cons...

I have a very simple message for you. And it starts with a question: Are you a success? How do we determine who in life is a success and who isn't? The word has several definitions, but my favourite is the one my father taught me: "Success is the ability to solve problems". Now, if this is true, then we should very easily determine who is a success and who isn't, based on their ability to solve problems. Are you able to solve problems? I believe you are. I believe you have a strong history of consistently solving problems. As humans, that is all we do: we solve one problem after another from the moment we wake up until the second we fall asleep. You open your eyes in the morning, you yawn and catch a whiff of your own morning breath. That is a problem. You solve it by brushing your teeth. You solve your hunger problem by eating. You have bills to pay, so you go to work. Your hair needs attention, you visit the barber/hairdresser. You're gaining weight, you g...

I once read a story about a girl who fell in love with a fisherman. She was so excited on the day he proposed to her, and she skipped all the way home to tell her parents. "A fisherman?" Her father bellowed with disgust. "Are you out of your mind? In a town full of lawyers, doctors, engineers and accountants, you want to insult your father by marrying a Fisherman? Over my dead body! There's no way I am going to have a useless fisherman for a son-in-law!" The girl was heartbroken. She begged and pleaded and cried, but Daddy wouldn't budge. She took her fisherman sweetheart to meet her mother, but Mummy was even worse. "After all the money we spent sending you to school, this is how you choose to repay us? Your sisters are all married to professors, priests and politicians. But you dare to bring a fisherman into our home? What a disgrace!" The young girl and her fisherman lover were both heartbroken. They couldn't imagine a life witho...

27 years ago, Auma Obama picked her brother Barack from the Airport in Kenya when he traveled home to visit his paternal family. She drove him home in her "old Volkswagen" car. They went home together, and he happily slept in her room on a "tight camp bed". That was what she had then, and she happily shared all she had with her brother. She did not mind that he probably came from America with nothing. 27 years AFTER, he returned home few days ago. He arrived at the same Airport, and his sister was there again to meet him. This time around, he lifted her in the most technogically sophisticated car in the world known as the BEAST. He arrived home this time, not as the ordinary Barack who had to hang around the airport about 4 hours waiting for his sister, but as the most powerful and most influential and most important political figure in the world. Never ever underestimate, downplay, overlook or dismiss any human being. Treat people with love, respect and digni...
