A Desert Safari in Dubai

I had a desert safari experience. It was simply a thrilling ride! 

Being driven up and down this desert in a V8 was all sorts of awesome. 

Before the ride, the driver had to deflate the tyres a bit to make movement on the desert easy. 

I guess he did this to release pressure from the tyre and prevent them from sinking deep in the sand while in motion on the desert.


Well, safety first, I fastened my seat belt and sat tight whilst clinging tightly to the door handle. 

I got to do sand skating too but could not move smoothly from top to bottom. Glidding down with the skates was tough without any prior experience. 


I fell off mid-way on the two times I tried. I would have loved to try again but couldn't because of a sudden slight headache. 

That aside, it was a good experience all the same.

RESIDENCY DIARIES 9- Is School A Scam?

Image
  IS SCHOOL A SCAM?  Whilst in Residency, we had a daily routine of picking a topic at random and sharing our thoughts on same during breakfast.  We would often find ourselves engaging in healthy conversations on educational issues, politics and national development, relationships and marriage, youth development and of course writing, which was that one thing that Brough us together.  On one particular morning after breakfast, we zeroed in on discussion about education in Africa. One resident without mincing words blurted out;'School is a Scam! It is not exactly what our parents and society has sold to us'.  He continued, 'We have been told from childhood that; Go to school, complete and get a well paying job to help set you up in life. But the reality on the ground is different. I think school is a big scam.l especially in Africa'.  With these statements, the tone was set for our conversation at the dinning table. Each resident shared his views on same. We...

Seven On Me Here Are 7 Points About Me You Probably Didn't Know....:) 1. Personality: I am a typical melancholic. Being a perfectionist is my strength as well as my weakness. I may stand and talk to a thousand people but stay silent in the presence of one person. I am calm and collected but can be loud when I am in a very good mood. Most people especially the elderly have wondered whether I am Ghanaian due to my name. Some have said I've got Egyptian origin due to Gamel Nasser and others say I am from Burkina Faso due to the name Thomas Sankara. But truth is, I am very Ghanaian. My father tells me, my name was coined from the name Gamaliel in the book of Acts. Gamaliel was a law scholar and Paul's teacher. There are other meanings to it including; Wise, Old, Hard working etc. Well, I have got my own meaning because I answer to the name and it is; God's Anointing Makes me Excel in Life'. The name Sankarl also means the fortunate one. That explains why I am ...
