GETTING a United Kingdom visa can take weeks, months, years, decades or even a century if you don’t intend dying too soon.

Of all evangelists, pastors, bishops, arch-bishops and men of God, the perambulating preacher-man is the most effective. He carries the word of God on his lips and goes on foot to deliver it to straying soul. Sometimes he does so at dawn when people are likely to be fornicating. |

IT is not readily known whether carrying a pot-belly 24 hours a day is a blessing or a curse. Whatever it is, the distended belly has become fashionable among both the poor and the rich.

ANY man with two balls between his thighs, must desire a woman. If he doesn’t, then he has been emasculated. So he is incapable of desiring a woman and must submit himself to medical or spiritual deliverance. God willing, he’d start nodding like an agama lizard. |

THE typical perambulating medicine-man dresses like a witch-doctor. His garb spots cowries, an indication that his kind of medicine is based on something supernatural. All the same, he has the kind of marketing skills no accredited school of marketing has ever taught. |

THE typical itinerant salesman in Sikaman is a herbalist. He is normally a slim macho with the capacity to perambulate the expanse of area covering the triangle of Accra-Tema-Ashiaman.
