PASSAGE
As I stood by a street in Accra that late afternoon watching people rushing home from work, I felt very safe. My sense of security came from the fact that Ghanaians are generally kind and hospitable people, particularly to strangers . Although I had just arrived from my village, I was a Ghanaian and in my own capital I should not fear anything.Just then, I felt a firm grip on my arm from behind. I did not feel threatened; rather I was relieved . I thought an old schoolmate must have spotted me, James Cudjoe, and decided to play our old game on me. How welcome! The good old days are here again.
I turned to look at the fellow in the face but the more, I turned to my left the faster he moved to my right as he tightened his grip on my wrist watch. Suddenly he let go of my arm and bolted. I saw vanished into the thick crowd. Certainly, this was not how tk welcome a friend. People of the city are surely very strange!
Totally confused, I made my way towards the lorry park to leave for my brother's house. In the gathering darkness, I tried to find out what time it was. To my utter surprise, I discovered that my wrist watch was gone.
The rascal had made away with it . It was hardly new, not even expensive, yet the rogue found it worth stealing.
