Photo: The President sips down his hustle

John Mahama sips on a fresh Pineapple, in a fashion that easily give him away as a “Guy guy” (as used in local Ghanaian parlance) president.

The file image, which made media rounds months ago, resurfaced last week, perfectly fitting into the current quandary surrounding his election as president. Quandary? That can always wait. Or? Who cares about a disgruntled opposition, I can imagine him say.

Today, January 7, 2013, is his “Our Day” (or if you would “My First Day at School”). He becomes President of Ghana for the next 48 months – a dream come true for a “post-independence young man” of his kind.

You can’t blame him for trying to stay young. For a 55 year-old gentleman, trying to be posh, squares in, somehow.

Cheers to another round of 48 diced Pineapples. And oh, cheers to more “guy guy” things!
