The Great Nail Crisis of Accra

The Great Nail Crisis of Accra

By: John S. Morlu II, CPA

A FULL INVESTIGATIVE REPORT INTO THE COLLAPSE OF HAND FUNCTION, TOE ENGINEERING, AND HAIR AERODYNAMICS

A Satirical Mega-Essay for People Who Still Believe in Common Sense

I was in a bar in Accra — minding my own business, drinking my drink, and observing life like a National Geographic researcher — when I stumbled upon a humanitarian crisis. A cultural emergency. A national threat. A gender-specific epidemic so widespread, so catastrophic, so scientifically baffling that even the ancestors probably whispered:

“My child, what are we seeing here?”

Every woman under 50 had long nails.
Not just long — LONG.
The type of nails that can pick satellite signals.
The type of nails that can scratch your soul.
The type of nails that arrive two minutes before the woman does.

These nails were not nails; these nails were infrastructure.

And then it hit me:
Hands — God’s original multipurpose tools — have been repurposed into purely decorative ornaments.

I realized that women today have turned their hands into museum exhibits. They are now art installations, not functioning equipment.

Let’s begin the official documentation.

Chapter 1: The Hands Have Resigned From Service

Once upon a time, hands used to:

  • Open bottles
  • Cook food
  • Fold laundry
  • Peel oranges
  • Wash clothes
  • Collect firewood
  • Beat fufu
  • Discipline children
  • And fight mosquitoes with precision

Today?

Hands are on pension. Early retirement. Matter-of-fact, they have relocated to Dubai.

Hands have one job now:
To look cute while being absolutely useless.

The new modern hand is like a celebrity influencer: beautiful, expensive, and incapable of doing anything practical.

Chapter 2: The Water Bottle Incident — a Full Crime Scene Analysis

I watched a woman attempt to open a bottle of water.

She tried twisting it.
She failed.

She repositioned.
She failed again.

She used her palm.
The bottle insulted her.

She handed it to her friend.
Her friend attempted.
Her friend’s nails clicked against the plastic like two swords in a medieval duel.

Failure.

The bottle looked at them like:
“You’re not serious.”

Eventually, a man was summoned.

He opened the bottle in 0.2 seconds. Not because he is strong. Not because he is a man. But because he has HANDS.

Fully functioning, naturally equipped, God-designed hands.

These women were looking at the bottle like it was a calculus exam.

Chapter 3: Fun Facts About the New Nail Economy

Let us talk science.

1. Average Acrylic Nail Length in Accra:

LONGER than the average Shoprite receipt.
And Shoprite receipts can wrap a medium-sized goat.

2. Nail Thickness:

Stronger than the MTN network.
If these nails had 4G, they would outperform Vodafone.

3. Aerodynamics:

If she runs, her nails whistle.

4. Nail-to-Hand Ratio:

For every 1 hand, 93% is nail.
The remaining 7% is suffering.

Chapter 4: The Hair That Could Command Wind

Then there are the wigs.

The wigs are long. Biblical long. Samson-after-three-years-of-no-haircut long.

Some of these wigs are so long, if she stands at East Legon, the wig reaches Labone.

The wig delay is worse than MTN at 8 PM:

  • She turns her head
  • The wig thinks about life
  • The wig does a slow pivot
  • The wig completes its rotation 3 seconds later

At this point, the wig is a life partner. A dependent. A spiritual assignment.

If you cut some of these wigs, you will release trapped heat that has been stored since 2021.

Head Utilization Capacity (HUC) — Research Findings

When wig length passes 32 inches:

  • 40% of brain power is redirected to neck support
  • 20% is lost to heat
  • 10% is allocated to adjusting the wig
  • 15% goes to keeping it from falling
  • Only 15% is left for thinking, judgment, or decision-making

That is why some conversations don’t make sense. The brain is tired.

The wig is using more energy than the entire human.

Chapter 5: Real-Life Events Recorded in the Bar

Let me break down the madness:

Event 1: The Nail vs. Phone Screen Battle

A woman tried to type on her phone. Her nails were so long she typed three words she didn’t intend, opened TikTok, liked a video, and accidentally sent “Hi” to her ex from 2017. The phone was in pain. Even Siri gave up.

Event 2: The Clap That Shook the Building

A lady tried to clap along to a song. Her nails collided midair. The sound was “KRAAAAANG!!!” The bartender ducked. Two people looked around like a gunshot went off. Her nails clapped louder than she did.

Event 3: The Wig Misalignment Crisis

One woman adjusted her wig. Her nails got stuck in the lace. She froze like a statue. Her friend had to rescue her like she was defusing a bomb.

Chapter 6: And Now, the Toenail Apocalypse

Just when I thought it was over, the toes arrived.

Toe nails. Decorated. Painted. Grown to lengths that violate building codes.

Toenails so long they cast shadows. Toenails so long they break the aerodynamics of sandals. Toenails so long they could sign documents.

Real Incident: Woman Drops Phone

She tries to pick it up with her hands. Fails because the fingernails block her.

So she bends…
…and her toenails tap the phone screen.

WhatsApp opens.
Her toe likes a status.
Her toe sends a sticker.
Her toe nearly video-calls someone.

Her toe committed cybercrime.

Chapter 7: Medical Analysis Nobody Requested

Aesthetic-Induced Toe Dysfunction (AITD)

Symptoms include:

  • Shoe incompatibility
  • Walking like someone balancing a bucket on her head
  • Risk of toe-based injuries
  • Delayed walking reaction time
  • Reduced sprint capacity
  • Increased likelihood of tripping over oxygen

Toenails were designed to help humans run. Now they prevent escape during emergencies.

If a fire alarm goes off and your toenails are long?

You will walk out with dignity — or perish with fashion.

Chapter 8: Full Combined Table of Suffering

Functionality Scores (0 = impossible, 10 = normal)

Activity Normal Human Acrylic Hands Acrylic Toes Wig Over 40 Inches
Opening Bottle 10 0.4 0 Bottle wins
Running 10 8 -6 Wig takes flight
Thinking 10 10 10 3
Cooking 10 1 0 Wig catches fire
Typing 10 2 N/A Wig blocks visibility
Wearing Closed Shoes 10 10 0 Wig unaffected
Holding a Baby 10 3 0 Baby confused
Counting Money 10 4 -2 Wig falls forward
Surviving 10 6 3 7

Chapter 9: Summary of Humanity’s Decline

Let’s recap:

  • Hands no longer open bottles.
  • Wigs delay like Ghana internet.
  • Fingernails type accidental messages.
  • Toenails can commit cybercrime.
  • Shoes are suffering.
  • Water bottles are winning.
  • Brain power is overheating under wigs.

At this point, evolution has taken a coffee break.

Final Conclusion (Scientific + Comedic + Truthful)

Ladies, we love you — truly.

But this is a PSA:

  • If your nails prevent you from holding a spoon…
  • If your wig prevents you from thinking…
  • If your toenails prevent you from walking…
  • If a water bottle humiliates you in public…
    …it means the aesthetics have taken over the biology.

Please.
Let the hands function.
Let the toes breathe.
Let the brain cool down.
Let common sense return.

God created hands as miracles.
Not as decoration.

And toenails?
Toenails were never meant to be machetes.
