If you want to start your New Year with colour, celebration, and pure energy, there is only one place to be on 1st January, Winneba . While everybody is still sleeping after 31st Night, Winneba is already awake. Drums, brass band, costumes, masks. This is the Winneba Masquerade Festival, locally called Fancy Dress. It is the first major festival in Ghana every year. And it is the second biggest festival in Winneba after Aboakyer. There is a morning in Winneba that does not feel like any other morning in Ghana. By 7am, you can hear it. The brass band far away. The drum, shouting and the crowd. If you are in Winneba on that day, you cannot stay in your room. The sound will drag you out. I remember the first time I followed the sound. I thought something had happened. I thought maybe there was a funeral. But when I reached the road, I saw something I had never seen before. Men wearing masks. Big, colourful, scary, beautiful masks. Some looked like animals. Some looked like old white men ...

Sarkodie Is The Real Father.

Anyone can father a child, but being a father takes a lifetime. This time Sarkodie is out with Titi for a toy shopping.



Fathers play a role in every child's life that cannot be filled by others. This role can have a large impact on a child and help shape him or her into  the person they become. Fathers , like mothers are pillars in the development of a child's emotional well-being. 

Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforcethem. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security , both physical and emotional. Children want to make their fathers proud and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength. 

Studies have shown that when fathers are affectionate and supportive, it greatly affects a child's cognitive and social development. it also instills an overall sense of well-being and self confidence.

Sarkodie seems to be one of the best fathers on earth because he been seen playing and and going out together with her daugteher often, even taking her along on work duties.
