I was at a bazaar on Saturday with a friend. I saw this ‘obroni-ish’ dreadlocked man standing there barefooted. I surreptitiously scanned the whole area to see if I could see a pair of sandals (flip flops or afro moses, anyone) lying around. Nothing. Then my friend remarked, “Oh, that’s Wanlov.” I found out 5 interesting things about him that have occupied all my “floating thoughts” all weekend long…
Would he walk to town everyday if he lived at Prampram, Kasoa or Oyibi and not Arirport (or is it Dzorwulu)?
Does he walk on the (mirage inducing) scalding sidewalks at midday barefooted too?
What if his loincloth hooks on a nail and snags? Would we see a (maybe toned) pale behind?
Does he not feel too much air passing around his… um…private regions when he walks around without briefs?
Are his T shirts made in Ghana too?
I wonder…
