Dear Massa,
If those who you say want to break up our country succeed (God forbid!), they will have an ignoramus and a nobody like me to contend with - as I shall qualify for an Asante passport, too. Massa, there are many like me in our homeland Ghana - who don't make any noise, but are prepared to die fighting to keep Ghana a united and democratic unitary republic.
The fact of the matter is that tribal supremacists exist in all the tribes in Ghana - but luckily for the enterprise Ghana, wherever they are found, they are always only a small minority of bigots amongst their fair-minded fellow-tribesmen and women. Tribal -supremacists in Ghanaians are really no different from those odious white supremacist racists of the Western world, who incredibly think that all people of colour are inferior beings.
Tribal supremacists in Ghana can never divide our country by carving it up - no matter how hard the arrogant morons try! Do you not see that there is virtually no extended family in Ghana that is not a family clan of diverse ethnicity - united through blood-ties and by marriage?
All ordinary Ghanaians (apart from the few tribal supremacists in our midst, who, sadly, are lumbered with a serf-mentality that makes them the supine puppets of those who seek to return us to the dark days of slavery in our pre-colonial past!) think of themselves as the citizens of the Ghanaian nation-state – not of the tribes they originally hail from.
So please relax – Ghana will never break up: no matter what our "Hypocrite-in-Chief" Kufuor and the despicable ones amongst his tribal chiefs do or say! Massa, who in this country did not respect Otumfuo Opoku Ware 11 in Ghana whiles he was alive?
Was it not because he was wise enough to understand that precisely because of the weight of history behind his position, he always had to keep a low profile - to help maintain the unity of our country? Who did not mourn the passing of that great man - who will go down in history as the greatest of the modern-day Asantehenes, ever?
Massa, there can be no Ghana, without Asante - and there can certainly be no Asante without a Republic of Ghana: which will remain a unitary republic in which there exist no kingdoms (certainly not of the state-within-a-state variety!), till the very end of time, the delusions of some of Ghana’s tiresome publicity-seeking traditional rulers, and their crooked tribal supremacist promoters amongst our political class, notwithstanding! Period.
Hmmm, Ghana - enti yeawiye paa, enia? Asem ebaba debi ankasa! May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
Yours in the service of Mother Ghana,
Kofi.
