I'm in a town called Kumasi right now. It's the second biggest city in Ghana, and it sucks. It's a freaking zoo here. It has one of the craziest markets I have ever seen. And it's a really dangerous place.
Yesterday I was at a bus station and two people were about to fight over 5 cents. They were just about to beat each other when a crowd gathered on the other side of the station. I asked someone what was happening and they told me that there were armed robbers and the police had them cornered and were going to kill them. And then shots rang out. We all jumped on the bus and it sped away.
The Dagate (the tribe with whom I am living) have a saying they use to say goodbye. It goes "Nmenna ka ta bio" which means "May God give us tomorrow". It is pronounced "men-na kah tah bee-oh"
So, Nmenna ka ta bio

Kumasi is Ghanaian for Detroit.
No, my mistake. Quick justice. And an appeal is very difficult. Nope not Detroit... But close. Street justice can affect many around, even if you or they are not involved.
Be careful. You are a stranger in a strange land.
Step with care. I and your friends and fans want to see you safe and sound and happy.
Go in HIS grace and Nmenna ka ta bio.
Tomorrow will be a better day!
We love you and we care.
Jacob... a big fan of yours!
