I AM CHASING OUT KWABENA YEBOAH-SHERIFF THE OCTOPUS



I have come to spend some few weeks in Sunyani and guess who I just came across right after the Black Satellites won their third place match over Iraq. This is a young champ who is just blowing the airwaves with the hottest sports analysis in the Brong Ahafo Region. I thought of taking an advantage to grant this interview with him for you our dear IMB Readers. I call him Sheriff the Octopus

SHERIFF: Susec model

IMB: Class

SHERIFF: J.H.S 1

IMB: How did you get into radio?

SHERIFF: Through Sadick Adams who is currently with angel fm in Kumasi

IMB: How did he discover you?

SHERIFF: Well I used to call on his sports programs from Dinpa fm through to Storm fm all in Sunyani.So one day he asked that I should feature on the weekend sports at Storm fm since he kind of like my contributions.

IMB: Would you say he is the best in town?

SHERIFF : Yes, because  he is vest in presenting and analyzing sports news items.

IMB: For how long have been doing this?

SHERIFF: Barely a year on radio but have been doing with friends for quiet a looooooooooooooong time

IMB: How was it for the first time on radio?

SHERIFF: Cool. But kind of tensed up.


IMB: Would you say what you have is talent or love for the game?

SHERIFF: Both.

IMB: Who in Ghana sports presentation is your role model?

SHERIFF: Laughs out Loud. He is my source of inspiration

IMB: What should we look out for in the days, weeks, months and years ahead?

SHERIFF: New trend of sports presentation and analysis

IMB: Sheriff the octopus, I know this question is tight and personal but I need an answer.Kwabena yeboah and Jeffery Asare,whose place would you want to take soon?

SHERIFF: Kwabena yeboah

IMB: Ok no comments. What do you think contributed to the black satellites losing out the world under 20 championships to France?

 SHERIFF: I think that their semi-final match against France was a very tactical game .The players were not   possessing the ball on the pitch well .The players were a little bit  lacking finishing and understanding among  themselves and also the absent of Joseph Attamah Larweh, Lawrence Lartey and Moses Odjer  affected the team .Also, Seidu Salifu who was the right-back on that very match was a big blow to Ghana. France,on the other hand was a good side.Their mid-field   almost break-up on the latter part of the first half. Fortunately for them Eric Ofori Antwi was injured and scored their second goal to secure their chances of going to final of the tournament.

IMB: Who was your favorite among the satellites?

SHERIFF: Ebenezer Assifuah

IMB: What would you say about the coach’s performance?

SHERIFF: Sellas Tetteh really did well because he only accessed the U-20 players for a little period of time so he was lucking team work and some quality players since  every man is not perfect. Some peoples were having some few problems in his line-up. 

IMB: Do you think of leaving your current radio station for any other?

SHERIFF: Well not in mind now. but if any offer comes, well we will see what to do.


IMB:Last question sherriff.how can one reach you?

SHERIFF:www.facebook.com/sheriff alidu. or sheriff alidu on twitter.

IMB:Right thank you very much sherriff the octopus.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

Taste and see... THE LOVE STORY (birthday in the midst of Covid 19)

Buenos dias a todos, I have been writting posts about marriage beacause I feel inspired to share my personal experiences in marriage to help save other marriages. Along the way, I realized other couples also wanted to share thier experiences as well to help save more marriages. What a blessing God has given unto us to expand His kingdom. Come one, come all. Let us go out there and save more marriages.  Today, I am narrating the full story of this same beautiful man I met a long time ago. FYI, he is even more beautiful presently.  I met him when I had just completed High School. He had also just completed College.  I was working as a sales girl in a garment shop. A colleague of mine was his friend. He had come there to visit her and give her a flyer advertising a drama school he was starting. We had common intrest: film making. I still remember that first glance at him clearly like it was yesterday, ''What a beautiful boy'' I thought. Then took a second look at hi...

Making the effort part 3 (TAKEN FOR GRANTED?)

Bonjour a tous, We have discussed conciously making up our minds to work on our marriages or relationships.  We have learnt to go to God in difficult situations, we have decided divorce is not an option. Does that mean we give a green pass to our spouse to be unfaithful to us?  Or for our spouses to neglect the core values of spicing up the marriage and keeping it enjoyable.  Marriage is about consisently doing life together. what do we do in our daily lives.  Lets remind ourselves; sleep, wake up, prepare breakfast, eat, take a shower, wash dishes, go to work, attend to peoples needs, come back home, have dinner, take another bath, sleep! Oh I think I left out prayer! And if you have kids under ten(not in all cases), helping them take a bath and getting ready for school and bed.  And making sure they are fed. On weekends its a whole new plan which may include more or less activities.  Can we think of not hurting our spouses or keeping them...
