Barima @barima.bsky.social · 27/08/2023The Yoruba have Afenifere. What groups do we have as various ethnic groups to promote our culture and traditions, especially in these days of growing westernisation? 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 12/08/2023I wonder: is there any academic who has done any research on the relationship between car stickers and class signaling in Ghana? 100
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 29/07/2023BMWs are sweet rides … till the maintenance bills come in. 010
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 28/07/2023I find it fascinating how Maoist suits popularised in Ghana by socialist President Kwame Nkrumah are being worn by hardcore capitalists in modern day Ghana. Fashion is indeed above all politics. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 27/07/2023Chiefs/royal families have remodeled themselves as agents of development for their areas often ignored by the powers that be. They are also unofficial CSOs - offering sagacious criticisms when necessary. These roles must be fulfilled perfectly if the institution is to keep going strong. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 27/07/2023Something happened today that’s made things somewhat clearer. We keep trudging on! 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 27/07/2023Haha I think you’re a young-old man but yes, I surely will! Thank you! 010
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 27/07/2023Life can get quite confusing and overwhelming, especially in your youth. So many decisions, plans to make etc. I find that prayer has become a source of unloading, for lack of a better word. A younger me definitely did not see this coming! Let’s see where this goes. 110

Barima @barima.bsky.social · 15/07/2023I have often wondered why Greek mythology has quite the hold on a lot of people. Is it because of its portrayal in popular media? What leads people to explore it? 000

Barima @barima.bsky.social · 03/07/2023The ntoma is much more liberating than some would have you believe. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 03/07/2023Yup Fui says as much. Quite sad to see. The renaissance must come. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 23/06/2023Whoaa. Yeah I remember Ahwoi’s book - I have a copy even. One hopes this changes hm. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 21/06/2023For sure! One might say we’ve been seeing that for a bit now. Asamoah Gyan’s biography comes to mind. Either ways, the literary space is going to get some benefits for sure. 110
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 21/06/2023The excitement surrounding Yvonne Nelson’s memoir has me wondering what the after effects will be on the Ghanaian literary space. Will this excitement extend to the work of indigenous authors? @fctamakloe.bsky.social 120
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 27/05/2023I’m re-reading Amu Djoleto’s The Strange Man and I can’t believe I forgot how funny and yet on point the satire is 🤣 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 17/05/2023You would think linen shirts would be more popular in a country like Ghana …. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 14/05/2023The way my novice self sees it, local government can make quite an impact on the life of a Ghanaian. It is also a good outlet to be an active citizen. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 14/05/2023I was wondering what was happening with district-level elections which is supposed to happen this year and stumbled on this article. I concur heavily with it. We need to up the discourse on these elections also. www.mfwa.org/publication/ghanas-202…mfwa.org 100
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 13/05/2023Pro-poor policy and pro-business policy are not at odds with each other. Quite the opposite in fact! 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 12/05/2023PS: I’m treating Bluesky as a jotter of sorts - a place I come to write my thoughts as they are still fermenting. I apologise therefore if I do not sound eloquent. Your thoughts are welcome. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 12/05/2023Sure it will be slow, especially as a significant chunk of young people are disillusioned and tired of engaging with the daily realities but headway can be made. Discussion, dialogue, debate … it reverberates and then extends its tentacles further downward. The work just needs to be done. 100
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 12/05/2023However in the midst of plenty, how can one make sure the message gets around to the very grassroots? The answer isn’t a simple one. Methinks that the hard work of prompting discussions in groups across your context is the certifiable way. 2/n 100
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 12/05/2023I saw this and I think to myself: how can people in these times “shake the system”? New media has made it easier. Now, we can send out articles via Medium, Substack etc. This is in addition to micro blogging platforms like Twitter, Facebook etc. 1/n 100
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 11/05/2023Kwesi Brew represents the ideal I aspire to as a writer - an individual very much involved in public life via diplomacy, business and politics whiles churning out the best works. The idea of being a writer ONLY is a scary one. 000
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 11/05/2023Thank you for the invite, Adwoa 😂 Where are the Ghanaians btw? 😄 100
Barima @barima.bsky.social · 11/05/2023First of all, I’m glad I got first dibs on “Barima” as a username :) Second of all, hi guys! 110
