I have three brothers; Godwin, Worlanyo (the only brother with a local name) and Devine. We live in harmony irrespective of our differences. But don’t forget that “two calabashes cannot float on a river without touching each other” (I hope you know what that means). Thanks to the parents we got. I will only want to focus and talk about Worlanyo. Wolanyo Adzimah is my second brother. He is also known as Gozato/Killa (A nickname which I found out when I visited him in Sunyani). Worlanyo is a brother for whom I have so much love for reasons I can hardly figure out. We have a lot in common; we share the same birthday, the same complexion, our love for Country music which I think we inherited from our Dad and the fact that we’ve got some serious appetite for food. Hahaha…. seriously, we “Click!”
He is a brother who will always want to seek your advice about something he wants to do. And I like the fact that he’s got so much respect for me. Before I was born, Worla celebrated his birthday with our eldest brother, Godwin. As soon as I came on the scene, Godwin gave way. Worlanyo and I celebrate our birthday together every 7th of December of every year. Bro. as I always called him is one bold guy I know. I remember when he got his first job opportunity in Sunyani (about seven (7) hours drive from Accra) and my dad was worried. He explained to my dad why he had to go and that he had to follow his dreams. He took that bold step and left Accra to sunayni. He has never looked back since then. I must say I had a good time in Sunyani, that was when I met his friends like Fredrick; who gave me the sweetest reception, Kay, Ice T, Louisa, Matilda, just to mention a few. In Sunyani in 2008, he gave me that opportunity to study computing (Microsoft Office, Hardware, etc and also had the experience of working in an Internet café)
The next place I travelled to visit him was Ho, in the Volta Region. It was my first. I must say I had another exciting experience with my sweet Gozato. Seriously, I can’t recall all the experiences I have had with him but trust me; he was the kind of brother who was always there for his sister. He is so down-to-earth and always ready to encourage me in all I do. Thanks for having that hope in me. At that point when I think I can’t make it, Worlanyo will look me in the eyes and tell me “you can do it, just put your best at it. I got your back”. I listen to him and his advice. At times when I am in a fix and need help as soon as possible, he is always there. (What more can one seek in a brother?) When I plan to do anything meaningful with my life, (educational, Social, Moral, etc) I go to him first and he helps me with how to go about it to present the proposal to my parents to get their approval. It would have been a mistake if you weren’t my brother. And you know what? There have been instances when people will ask me if he was my brother or my boyfriend. (He can attest to that because he has been asked same several times)
I am not writing about Worlanyo because I don’t love the other two. In a few days, Worlanyo will be walking his fiancée to the altar, (visit www.wadzimah.blogspot.com for more). I can’t even explain how I feel about him. It is exceptional! It brings me so much joy and happiness for having taken one of the boldest decisions any man can take (just like Godwin did). Emilia (his wife to be) must be happy and lucky to have him as a husband. You two have my blessings :-) (and I hope you wouldn’t take him away from me completely) I am even more happy because I think it was after Emelia had met my brother that he started blogging (www.wadzimah.blogspot.com- a site I visit every time it is updated where I get so much inspiration, motivation and education) and to Emelia, I am so grateful for bringing out the best out of my brother. I will forever be grateful. THANK YOU
