how NOT to commit a crime

Ways to guarantee your arrest after committing a crime:

(1) go by the name Shaka Zulu

(2) be a muscle bound man who wears your hair styled in a Mohawk bun

(3) appear in a Ghana television ad prior to committing the crime

(4) appear in a major Ghanaian group’s music video prior to committing the crime

(5) be a bouncer at one of the most popular night clubs in the city where the crime was committed

(6) after ensuring that numbers 1-5 are in place, commit the crime sans disguise!

I’ve been in Ghana for only six months but even I know Skaka Zulu. He is a bouncer at the club “The Office” now known as Reggie Rockstone’s Office, has appeared in the popular Ghanaian group 4x4’s music video for “Fresh Onez” and has appeared in a Tigo commercial. Tigo is one of the major cellular phone networks in Ghana. You can’t miss the dude. If you’ve seen him once you will remember him. First off, he’s a big, muscular man, secondly his hair is styled in a way I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I mean NEVER. It is like a Mohawk, sort of kind of, but there is also a bun in the middle of his head (see picture for visual assistance). And thirdly, he is always dressed in all black and wears an assortment of traditional beaded necklaces. Basically, what I am saying is that the man stands out. And not only does he stand out, he works at one of the popular night clubs in Accra, has been in a popular music video and appears in a television commercial that runs ALL THE TIME. Could he be any more conspicuous? So why, with all of this going on, would he chose to commit a crime? Is there anyone in Accra who wouldn’t recognize him? Did he really think the victims would forget his face? Did he think they would confuse him with someone else? I mean how many diesel, Mohawk/bun wearing men named Shaka Zulu are there in Ghana?
