Shaking Hands with Atuguba JSC on the streets

I was privileged to meet JSC Atuguba surprisingly on the street in osu yesterday. It was difficult to identify him - unless it is you really know him. He was standing by the side walk and having a conversation with one young man. When I saw him, I left my friends and walked across to greet him. I got close to him and attempted to shake hands but he seemed reluctant. Looking at my strange face, he just nodded at me in response. But I wasn't satisfied and wasn't about to give in. I wanted to talk to him. So I was adamant. I said to him ' mam Dela hu Mabia ooh'. And I got his attention immediately. 'What's your name'? He asked me. 'Denis Amenga - Etego, from Kandiga'. I said. He was smiling now. But he still had a question to ask. ' you are from Kandiga, but who is that SaCut guy on radio here in Accra who is also from Kandiga'? He asked me. Now I am shocked. I thought he was the most famous but the great had of me. ' I am the one' I answered. ' you don't mean it' he said excitedly whiles shaking my hands. ' I used to listen to you on radio. You made me proud especially when you mention your grandfather's name' he added. 'Oh I am humbled hearing this from you. But you are the one who made all of Ghana proud. In fact we are proud of you. May the gods and ancestors guide you always' I told him with a handshake. We exchanged phone numbers on the streets like some ordinary guy I just met. Mehn, the man was in simple sandals, his car parked somewhere, and he was walking on the street. I doff my hat for the JSC Atuguba the great! May he live long!
