\"ghcoats\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second edition of the popular My Book of<\/strong><\/em> #GHcoats<\/em><\/strong> has been released online. The book is a collection of humorous quotes about everyday life in Ghana compiled via social media using the hash-tag #GHcoats and #GHquotes.<\/p>\n

The quotes, though attributed to famous people dead or living, are not true. They are the works of the creative minds of contributors; who ascribe the quotes to certain personalities. The quotes mainly reflect certain characteristics of the people they are attributed to.<\/p>\n

According to the editor of the book, Nana Awere Damoah, the project was borne out of the need to capture, share and preserve authentic Ghanaian humor.<\/p>\n

“After the success of the first edition, which we published in November 2013, there’s been a call by the public to update the book. The team therefore went to work to produce the Revised Stranded Version (2nd edition) of My Book of #GHcoats <\/a><\/em>with some illustrations to bring the quotes to life. The quotes not only stimulate hilarity, they mostly have an intrinsic proverbial element that presents a way of life for\u00a0many. Authors of these quotes derive their idea from social and current affairs, political events and personal \u00a0observations,” he said.<\/p>\n

The ingredients of a good #GHcoats are both the funny or reflective element and the fantastic attribution. Some of the notable quotes include:<\/p>\n

\n

Adding kanwie to your okro might make you lick your lips after a meal, but this practice is not advisable 30 minutes to your next boxing match. ~ Muhammad Ali<\/p>\n

A real trap is when a wife offers the last meat in the soup she is saving to the husband. ~ Pope John Paul II<\/p>\n

No one can eat bofrot without oiling his\/her lips. ~ Henry Ford<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The book is available for free download via smashwords.com<\/span><\/a>, kindle and amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
