Finally Back in Naija | Off to Cameroon

It's so hard,
To say good-bye,
To my 2nd home- Accra!

It seemed like a dream, one-year gone already....so fast!...but with a lotta memmories. Few days ago, I had my last moments in Accra, Ghana after a 1 year internship with The Capital Group Ghana. The good-bye ceremonies started with my farewell party at the office. Held within the office premises (at the summer-hut) with my boss and all other colleagues in attendance, I still didn't feel it was my good-bye party...it seemed I was too used to saying good-bye to other past trainees that I felt my good-bye time wouldn't come...of course, I felt so much at home:) Wanna say a big THANK YOU to my boss: Mr. Adetola, my fellow-AIESEC trainees during my 1 year stay- Reeta, Tone, Eric, Patrick and Crissy, all my other Ghanaian- colleagues..Desmond, Fred, Khalid, Mohammed, Aunty Pat, Mrs. Amugi, Emefa, Jacqy, Emmanuel...(too many to mention all) for giving me THE YEAR OF MY LIFE:)..Will always be grateful to ya'll:)

My 2nd good-bye ceremony was at our hang-out pub, Champs!!!, on the Quiz-nite (Thursdays). I had the opportunity to see most of the AIESEC interns again and say some warm good-bye...though it hurts that we might not see soon again...I'm glad we met! Thanks to you all...:)

The 3rd good-bye ceremony was organised by my best Ghanaian friend Michelle:) Little did I know that she was up to something when she called me up and invited me to pay my first visit to her house before I leave Ghana. Well, I decided to go on that Friday morning (1st of Dec was a holiday in Ghana)...I arrived at the house and few minutes after, she asked that I go with her to pick-up something:) "Well", I thought, "it means we'll be back here"...but "Myshell" said NO! we weren't coming back....then I started to wonder. To cut it all short, we met other 2 friends- Nii and Sitso at On the Run, after which we drove to the outskirts of Accra to have a nice time at Golden Tulip Beach Hotel:) I loved each moments of that day guys.,...thanks for being part of my Ghanaian Memmories

The 4th good-bye ceremony was 1 I hadn't thought would happen:) It wasn't a ceremony per se but rather a hang-out time with someone I liked to much. Devereau Chumrau is my American friend who I met at one of those night-outs with other AIESEC interns. We were outta touch for a while but I decided to send her an SMS at Quiz nite, just to inform her I was leaving....Nice she opted to hang-out with me before I left...and we did meet at Champs for the Friday nite karaoke, I sang for her and we said good-bye...(but for one nite)...we were still gonna meet the next day- few hours before I left Ghana. I met Dev. at On the Run eat-out on Saturday where she gave me a little African drum. Thanks so much Dev, you've made a huge part of my Ghanaian memmories!

Its so nice to be back home...but Ajala (native word for "traveller"- thats what many friends and family call me back home) hadn't stopped his travels yet:) On the 7th of this month, I'm off to Doula, Cameroon to Chair the Jump-In Conference:)...much more stories coming!!!
