"Kokloxɔ mekpeaŋʋ na koklo ooooooo". That is what we say in my language. The "chicken is never shy of its pen". No matter how old or wretched it looks, that's where the chicken will lay its head. Do not be deceive my brother, do not be deceive my sister. Dress like an African. Wear your clothes like a Ghanaian. When they ask you where you come from, be bold and say I am Ghanaian. It doesn't take anything away from you. Will your mother or father die if you do so? I doubt. Be an African, eat like an African. Stop eating junk food.

He or she can't be like him or her. He is an African. She is an African. Walk l...
