Saman 'Nkiti 'Nkiti

Just had a sudden urge to document some of the Ghanaian poems and dance songs from growing up.

Not exactly the kind of things you'd expect to be taught to 3-5 year olds but see how we came out.

Come to think about it, i suppose it's very appropriate for the haloween season since it talks about a ghost with guns pointed at oneself... and the ghost in return having one pointed at them.

The setting is in some forest. How come people never learn! If you go to the forest.. you'll meet a ghost with a gun, he'll point it at you... you'll mysteriously sprout a gun and point it at the ghost (which probably can dodge bullets ala Matrix-style) ... then you'd both fire at the same time.

The fact that the poem ends there probably means you'll not be leaving to tell the tale.

And i'm guessing your ghost is gonna be lying wait for the next unsespecting jungle-stroller.

Have a scary Ghanaian haloween people.

Kakai bé kyi wo!
