Taxi Driver Kwasea

This one taxi driver would not go scot-free. In just 3 hours, I had been rudely road-rushed by crazy manoeuvres in double digits. He did it at Kwame Nkrumah Circle. I hounded him on Ring Road Central up to Bus Stop. As I gained on him, I shouted “Taxi driver Kwasea”. He was pained to shock, hardly expecting effluence like that. But I was gone before he could react, and all he could do was to honk hysterically.

    What's Kwasea?

    Thanks for the answer on the last. Nana has a female connotation for me. What does the name mean in your language?

    Ghanaian drama! I remember the first time I shared my opinion on someones driving with that person: "Chale, this is NOT a good place to park". I have never felt so Ghanaian :-)

    myne, kwasea means "idiot", except that "idiot" does not quite convey as strongly what "kwasea" really means. lol.

    "nana" means, king or queen or granny. so, you see, it is cross-gender.
