MASSA: STRAIGHT TO THE POINT?

Your quote: “…Wow from your comment or errhhh thesis it seems Ghana is ruled by marauding gang intent on sucking the best of the country & repressing all who disagree with them. If that is the case why hasn't Frema been jailed, killed off in an accident or even just muzzled. She begun making these allegations more than a year ago & if Ghana is as she wants us to believe then she shouldn't be around making more noises...” End of quotation

Massa, the long and short of it, is that Fremaa Busia's very clever enemies, made a smart strategic decision. They concluded, correctly, that it was far better to leave her alive and discredit her (by the simple ruse of slandering her by calling her a "fruit-and-nut-case"!), than to provide eager Ghanaian conspiracy theorists with years of endless speculation that she was murdered to help hide the truth from Ghanaians.

Ever heard of the miracle of the hand of God that daily guides and protects the honest and the meek - who are thrown into the nest of Vipers?

Opanin, with respect, do open your eyes a little wider, please. In any case, time will tell – although, sadly, some of those currently in power, who never heed the warning contained in the wise Ghanaian saying: "No condition is permanent" and constantly delude themselves that they are invincible, forget that pithy fact of life.

Massa, the fact of the matter is that the Ghana of today is not a nation you can "Chop small" as a Lebanese crook once famously said: as he airily and contemptuously dismissed our country as a land of fools - much to that wealthy foreigner-moron's regret later on!

For those of us with long memories, it is astonishing how remarkably similar today’s goings-on, are, to the Kalabule-era - prelude to the events of the 4th June 1979 military uprising.

The powerful and completely amoral crooks of that era, driven by the unfathomable greed that led them to attempt to own practically all our nation’s wealth as quickly as they possibly could, also felt pretty invincible - and were as arrogant as today’s amoral crowd: who dominate the current regime so completely. Just where did that finally land some of them, Massa?

Today’s crowd, whose greed also knows no bounds, at all, constantly tell us things that rub salt into our collective wound: when they tell those who chide them that they are “envious” and “lazy” (and if perchance you recall your history of the French revolution, Queen Marie-Antoinette of France too, was just as insensitive about the plight of the ordinary French subjects: then suffering terribly in her husband’s realm!).

What today’s amoral crowd ruling our country forget, however, is that we are not all driven by the kind of greed that makes some to put aside all notions of common decency, in their pursuit of wealth. Such arrogance and insensitivity, only puts them beyond the pale - as far as honest but simple folk who treasure their good name more than tainted wealth, are concerned!

Yes, they may have succeeded in lying their way to power and holding on to it through endless dissimulation, whiles successfully sending their personal net worth to stratospheric heights in the dizzyingly short space of eight short years, too - however, if truth be told, who, but those tiresome and clueless “My-party-my-tribe-right-or-wrong” myrmidon-types, who wear blinkers permanently: and are too thick to think and too blind to see, really respects them, Massa?

Hmmm, Ghana - entiyeawiye paa, enia? Asem ebaba debi ankasa! May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live feeedom! Long live Ghana!
