You deal with a lot of clients and sometimes people go beyond just their immigration needs and actually tell their own story because there is always another angle to their immigration needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cFor instance, if someone is going through a divorce and has brought their wife over from Ghana and they are now going through the divorce proceedings, he gets to tell you about how he met her and brought her over and how has now become a monster and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also stated that, \u201cIn terms of how I like people to see my writing, I prefer not to pigeon-hole myself because I have my crazy moments and serious moments. So I can sit and probably write about the political economy of West Africa and its impacts and all of sort of serious stuff. The next moment, I\u2019m writing complete nonsense as in something satirical, a sermon or a post card. I think it\u2019s too early to pigeon hole myself that I\u2019m a humorist because when you do that and produce something serious, nobody takes it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xCJeW79ofVU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 12 September 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-09-12 play videoRodney Nkrumah-Boateng is a writer &#13; Author of \u2018Faceoff with the International MP\u2019, Rodney Nkrumah-Boateng has thrown more light on what inspires him to write the way he does saying, his personal experience, experiences of other people and observations of situations have shaped his scripts.
