Let us get our facts straight - no family "owns the whole of the Achimota Forest" as this mealy-mouthed fellow, Mr. Asamoah Boateng, is quoted as saying.
Typical of that kind of politician, he condemns Osafo Marfo and Captain Effah Darteh, for speaking out against the outrage that the crooks in this regime are so determined to carry out.
Mr. Asamoah Boateng and his ilk must always remember that old Ghanaian saying;"No condition is permanent": when the temptation to feel that they are all-conquering and own the Ghanaian nation-state because they control the security agencies, takes hold of them.
The colonial government paid the Nii Owoo family for their land that it turned into a forest reserve - including the "small woodlot" did it not?
Well, as far as Ghanaians are concerned all the land, including the "small woodlot" still remains the property of the Ghanaian nation-state, the legal successor to the British colonial government of the Gold Coast, which paid full compensation to the forbears of the Nii Owoo family. Period.
Let there be no doubt about this: this is the thin end of the wedge - and if we allow people who have been duly compensated for land they were asked to forfeit for the common weal, to take the totally unacceptable position that it is their land, regardless, when it is not, where will that end us?
Mr. Asamoah Boateng and the regime of which he is such a prominent member, must not underestimate the intelligence of Ghanaians. They may think they are invincible, but in reality, they are not at all - and they had better wake up to that bald fact.
Some of us did not fear Mr. Rawlings, even at the height of his powers - and we most certainly do not fear the effete, greedy and amoral members of this regime, whose unfathomable greed appears to know no bounds.
Let Asamoah Boateng and his crowd understand one thing: Every single member of this regime, who has participated in the gang-rape of mother Ghana, will be made to pay for their crimes, one fine day.
They must constantly bear in mind the prevailing atmosphere of immorality during the era prelude to the June 4th 1979 military uprising - when the clever crooks then, who were also incredibly well-connected politically, thought that they too were invincible: and that they would never be made to pay for their crimes against Ghanaians.
Mr. Asamoah Baoteng and his crowd had better sit up - for Ghanian's aren't nearly as stupid and foolish is they seem to think we are.
They must remember the events that precipitated the June 4th 1979 military uprising - an era that was very similar to today's political landscape.
It will be recalled that the prevailing atmosphere then, was one of immorality and greed amongst the then rulers - who showered gifts of cars and houses on their young girlfriends, and cut insider deals with their all-conquering high net worth kleptocratic cronies.
The actions of those greedy and powerful politically well-connected individuals, who are behind the Nii Owoo family's outrageous claims, for the return of the so-called "small woodlot" that their forbears received fair compensation for, is completely unacceptable to the residents of the heavily-polluted and filthy city of Accra.
For the information of the Asamoah Boatengs, Accra's residents need every bit of greenery (including the so-called "small woodlot" that the greedy ones in this regime so desire), to act as the lungs of their city. Period.
Hmmm, Ghana - eyeasem oo: asem ebaba debi ankasa!
May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
