My Dearest Naa Ayele 💓

To the girl of my dreams
From the guy who believes you’re undeniably enough

My Dearest Naa Ayele,

If I was your West, would your eyes' sun set on me?
If I was your East, would your heart’s sun rise in joy from seeing me?
If I was your North, would your life’s compass always point to me?
If I promised to forever remain faithful, work on myself, right all my wrongs, worship the very ground you walk on, would your love for me still go south?

I don’t remember when we first met or the first words we ever spoke but I swear, my life has never been…no!
Scratch that, my life has never been, my life will never be the same.
I am only but a man but any time I see you, I feel I am one with the wind – I can fly.
I am only a few decades old but I feel I have seen it all when my eyes steal glimpses at you.
You embody everything perfect and true and divine and everything twice.
You paint my mind with picturesque images only heaven could conjure.
Whoever drew your curves has to be the universe’s greatest cartographer

God gave the whole world oxygen but my lungs are allergic to it when you’re away.
The only air that gives life to my frail life is your sweet scented breath.
Death stares blatantly if you are not within my eye’s reach.
Your fierce fine fair face drowns out my voice like how the darkness sinks the sun’s rays anytime I see you
There is a lot I want to say that lurk behind my simple hello’s and hi’s
Everything about you is addictive! A drug I can never get enough of
I have never needed anything more than I need you

Aah my dearest Naa Ayele,
You can ask the secretary of God for how many times I’ve petitioned her office to ask God to make you mine
You are in every word I ever wrote or any word I ever spoke
You linger on my mind all day long till sleep steals me briefly only for you to consume all of me again
The only good thing about sleeping now is the visits and the dinners
Did I tell you about the last time we went to the Bahamas?
Don’t worry, I will tell you when we meet tonight.

I can promise you heaven and the riches of Solomon in all of its splendour and grandeur
I can promise you all the sweetness in the honey bears long for
But all I want to do is to spend the rest of my days kissing the tears from your eyes every single day and light smile bulbs in your eyes
All I want is to listen to you how your day went after the day is spent as your heart beat against my chest
All I want to do is to stare into your dark cute eyes and imbibe all the wisdom and intellect till the silver moon hangs no more
All I want to do is to be first face that brings you joy and the last face to bring you sadness
I want to be the reason why crying will never be an option making my shoulders obsolete for crying on

I swear, you’ll dwell in my heart all the days of my life
My life’s mission and vision statement would be this, and this only,
“To make you laugh and smile till death do us part”.
On our wedding day please tell the Pastor to skip the ” I dos” because I already did!
I would leave this world if I am to live without you
No second thoughts or useless doubts
Because tell me, what better fortune can life ever bless me with that you don’t exceed a gazillion times over?
You’re the only promise land I’ll sacrifice everything to chase

My only regret is that I am mortal and eventually I would die having only a lifetime to love you with a love all divinities would envy.
I hope your eyes see this letter but your heart actually does the reading.
Always know that till the suns light dim and the oceans become Sahara, I will love you no matter where you are, who you are with, or even if you never love me back because sometimes it feels like talking to a goddess who will never talk back.

--Prince George

WHAT MINDSET HAVE YOU?--By Isaac Asiedu

As Henry Ford said, ‘‘W hether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right ’’ . Whatever your mindset is, it affect s  you. Your mindset is the lens through which you perceive the world. And th is lens affect s  how you live and the choices you make every day. The quality of your life is defined by the quality of your mindset. Your life can never get any better than your mindset. Your mind is a powerful thing and the stories you tell yourself and the things you believe about yourself can either prevent change from happening or allow new skills to blossom. According to Carol Dweck, a researcher at Stanford University, there are two types of mindset and the difference between these two mindsets and how they impact our performance are explained below : The first mindset is the fixed mindset .   S tudents with this mindset believe that their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents are just fixed traits.

The Quality of Locally-manufactured Cornmill Grinding Plates

Corn mill A KNUST research has revealed people who consume corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers According to the research, the locally manufactured machine used to grind the corn into dough food wears off faster into the dry maize, thus contaminating it. A study by two lead researchers at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has revealed that consumers of corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers. The research was undertaken by Prof. Kwofie, who is the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering (former) of the College of Engineering, and Dr. Anthony Andrews (now Professor) , the Head of Department (former)  for Materials Engineering . The study found that the metals used for the milling plates usually wear off when the food products are being grinded. This, the study said, opens consumers to the risk of contracting cancer, since the metals contain 'iron overloads' which are poisonous. ...

When The Lass I Was Loving for Years Finally Said Yes!: Episode 1

PC: Pinterest Episode 1: Getting Acquainted I sent her a text on WhatsApp, ‘‘Bae, we’ve got a date on Friday night at Sparkles .’’ I’m sure she would have thought it would be one of our usual rendezvous , where we would chit-chat all night long talking about ourselves, among other matters, and getting a bit amorous sometimes, hahaha . But behind the scenes, something spectacular was boiling . She sent a reply, ‘’OK boo. I’m anticipating and will prepare in advance. Love youuu.’’ ‘’Love you bunch,’’ I responded. I was also preparing ahead for this big day where I would pop the question to the love of my life. I couldn’t wait for that grand day--the D-day--to declare myself to my better half. You could imagine all the sponging  and grooming that would go in on my side; and on the other side too, well, I couldn’t really guess. ’’Anticipate’’ was the only option. Akos was a lovely and comely young woman. She was beautiful in every sense of the word. She was tall (I was tal...

When the Lass I was Loving for Years Finally said Yes!: Episode 3

Episode 3 (Final): The D-Day Presently, both of our families were aware of our relationship. Akos was an only daughter, but not an only child, as she had a brother who was as fine as herself. It seemed to me that fineness ran throughout the family--from dad to mum to children. Akos was much like her mother, and her brother, Yaw, who was older than her, took the form of her father. I had met Yaw a couple of times on campus, when he used to come visit her dear sister. As time elapsed, I became a family friend to the Sarpongs. The D-day finally arrived. I went to Akos’ residence to pick her up for our much anticipated Friday night time-out. Luckily for us it was a holiday, so we both had time to rest from the week’s busi-ness. Of course, holidays bring some delight to those whose weekly schedules are largely occupied by work or school--and without a doubt, the greater joy goes to our dear students. Operation Neptune  arrived at her residence in a black Chevrolet Cruze...

Vibranium - The Wonder of Wakanda

Black Panther wearing Vibranium suit. PC: ucf.edu If you've ever thought that the Vibranium metal used in the Black Panther movie is a real material, you're possibly mistaken. What is Vibranium? Sourced from a meteorite that landed in Wakanda many centuries ago, Vibranium provides the superpower in the main character’s suit, absorbing energy and redistributing it. Vibranium (/vaɪˈbreɪniÉ™m/) is a fictional metal appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, noted for its extraordinary abilities to absorb, store, and release large amounts of kinetic energy. Mined only in Wakanda, the metal is associated with Black Panther, who wears a suit of vibranium, and with Captain America, who bears a vibranium-steel alloy shield which has never been reproduced. Real-world Material In 2016, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies developed a real-world smart composite material that they named Vibranium. The lightweight carbon fiber material for the Hyperloop ...
