I'm Frederick Kofi Sey, but most people choose to call me Dre. Don't ask why cause I actually don't know😄😄. I'm a June born, 19th to be precise, and errm, I'm single too.

Not at all, I always wanted to be a pilot😄😄, but with time I realized I had the gift, so I decided to be an Mc but initially it was just a hobby.

Well, I found out I had this gift when I was in Mfantsipim. I would usually take my water bottle and pretend it was a mic and talk for minutes, my friends would usually say I'm crazy but in my head I was a great Mc on a huge stage with millions of people cheering.

It was pretty hard, because anytime I told my mum I wanted to be an Mc she would tell me to focus on my books and forget about being an Mc. There were even days where I was called to be an Mc at an event and she stopped me from going. Aside that, in the beginning I wasn't getting the opportunity to be an Mc at events which really made me want to quit.

Erm, yh, I do see myself going long term. I mean it depends on a couple of factors, but if everything turns out ok, I'll definitely go long term.

Honestly, from the start it wasn't  easy, I couldn't handle the pressure. But as time went on I got use to it, and naturally I'm not a shy person so it was also a plus for me.

It depends, there's no fixed number. Sometimes 20, sometimes 25 so yhh it depends

😹😹 ok, so there was this time I was on stage, and I was getting ready to introduce the next performance, then all of a sudden a lady shouted "I love you Dre" I didn't know how to respond and everyone realised I was confused so they all started laughing, and one other time too I almost fell whiles walking off the stage, it was really funny. I mean there are many funny moments you experience as an Mc.

My hardest Job was actually my first Job, it was at a birthday party. I literally didn't know what to do or say. I kept making errors and that event turned out to be a boring one, but I learned a lot from that day, so I'm actually grateful.

All I can say to any up and coming Mc out there is don't give up on what you enjoy doing, keep fighting till you get there and believe me you'll look back and thank yourself for not quiting, not just up and coming Mc's but everyone out there with a dream, and Never forget to put God first.

In the next 24 years..... erm let me see, probably married with 2 kids living happily and still doing what I love to do, being an Mc 😊.

Remember Slavery

The idea of slavery or slave trade was not foreign to Africa before their contact with the Europeans.There is evidence that Africans were involved in the slave trade through the trans-Saharan and ocean slave trade . The trans-Atlantic  slave emerged as a result of the Portuguese contact with west African especially in Africa in the  15thcentury. Slavery was not an important component of the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the early 15th century. The main items of the slave between the Portuguese and west Africa were gold,beads,copperbars,clothes,cowries,spices etc.However,the discovery of the Americas by the Spaniards and the subsequent exploitation of Africa interms of mining and agriculture led to a special type of labour which could meet the labour needs of the Europeans. Due to the exploration and exploitation of the Americas its still stimulated the need for African slaves.The European Chose African slaves because of their prior experience of using East-African

THE CURRENT SITUATION OF FILTH IN GHANA

SOLUTIONS TO THESE IMPENDING ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOWS ; Place bins at vantage points – It has been said that, the last time this was tried, the bins were stolen. Unpatriotic Ghanaians shouldn’t stop us from living well. Police the beaches- Beaches must be policed, cleaned and preserved – Seriously, the idea of fish fattened on poop is not natural or funny. It is not a worthy cultural practice either. It should stop. The sight of adults and children constantly shitting at our coastline is one of the quickest ways of spreading disease and degrading the seabed. Every home must have a toilet facility – In 2019, open defecation should be unacceptable to all Ghanaians. This must be the law. No landlord should be allowed to rent out rooms if they do not have a  toilet facility. There can be a schedule and a plan for existing properties to include toilet facilities for the number of occupants. But there should be no reason new properties should go up without toilets, Shops and other publ

“FIX THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STEP DOWN”– CONCERNED ROAD USERS TO THE UPPER EAST REGIONAL MINISTER The capital town of the Upper East Region, Bolgatanga, roads has been decorated with all kinds of traffic lights but none of them are functioning. This makes users of the road: both drivers and pedestrians feel uncomfortable anytime they are using these major roads in their daily businesses in the town. They believed that the traffic lights are just on the various road points for beautification and not to help pedestrians to minimize road accidents. According to Mr Razak, a spokesperson for Bolgatanga Youth Movement (BYM), they have been complaining about the poor nature of the traffic lights to the Regional Minister and the Municipal Chief Executive, but they have turned a blind eye on it. And they are calling on the president of the Republic of Ghana to either help them to fix the traffic lights or allow the Regional Minister to resign. ” For the past two years, the traffic l
