Femi Kuti performs at his Africa Shrine

This guy is a paradox. He's sweet and crazy in one goal. He says he's stopped smoking; which if true is a great thing. It was funny to hear the sister Yeni say her two favourite cities in the world are Paris and Amsterdam. She said " I love Paris for the clothes and Amsterdam for the smoke."

Femi strongly follows in the traditions of his father but in a far more modest style. His female dances are better clad, he appears to be a one-woman kinda man and his child's school gave him a certificate for being a responsible father. I hear he's as kind as his father was.

I just wish non-smokers will find his Shrine a bit more accommodating.

NDC youth storms Electoral Commission

Ghana had a presidential elections run-off on Sunday 28th December 2008. Amidst counter accusations of vote rigging, the NDC's Presidential candidate Professor John Evans Atta-Mills took a clear lead. Rumours of the NPP conniving with the Electoral Commission (a rumour that proved totally false) forced NDC youth from all over the capital to storm the Electoral Commission. Contention over one constituency, Tain has held up official declarations of a winner till another run-off his held for just Tain this friday.
