What Does Ghana Need To Protect Her Civilian Population And Guarantee The Republic's Safety - In An Age Of Global Terrorism?

What Ghana needs now, to successfully protect her from internal-fifth-collumnists, and their foreign-collaborator-allies, is for the dynamic and incorruptible Hon. Kwasi  Amoako-Atta, to be appointed as a new defence minister, to oversee both our nation's external and homeland security, as well as  supervise  the formation of a new fourth armed service, for the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).

The new fourth armed service, of the GAF,  the homeland paramilitary force, ought to  result from the merging of  the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana National Fire Service, the Ghana Prison Service, and the Ghana Immigration Service. It will save costs, and be fit-for-puepose, to deal effectively with the new security threats we now face.

Ideally, they ought to be trained to Special Forces level, to enable them become a crack, no-nonsense protector, of the collective security, of all who reside legally in Ghana, and effectively protect the safety of our Republic, too,  in an age of global terrorism, which is now destabilising and creating insecurity, in some of our sister West African states, unfortunately. 'Who dares wins', for a motto, wouldn't be bad at all, for such a crack  paramilitary force. Cool.

Finally, and best of all, the creation of a  fourth armed service for the Ghana Armed Forces, should lead to a situation,  in which, whenever confronted by armed law-breakers-of-any-kind, they will be permitted (by new anti-terrorism laws, passed under a certificate of urgency, by Parliament), to immediately adopt a shoot-to-kill stance,  for which they should be guaranteed permanent immunity, from prosecution, for the rest of their natural lives. Full, stop. Case closed. That is what is needed to keep us all safe, and to effectively protect the safety of our Republic. Enough is enough. Haaba. Cool.

A Quick Note To Lansana Kamara - The Very Talented Rapper Who Typifies Gomoa Buduburam's Camp Liberia's Digital-Native-Demographic

My dear Lansana,

I solemnly promise to give you and your peers all the help you will need to take control of your own collective destiny. You are not fools, and can see good people when you come across them. You can make your own judgements of such people,  and not allow slanderous falsehoods to colour your judgements. Long story short: You are most certainly not fools. Full stop. 

 

(Please note, if you have also heard them, that I  will sue the blackguard in the community  leadership, spreading the wicked lies about me. You will find, after the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) investigates those slanderous allegations, that far from taking and pocketing zillions, from  Loving Humanity UK, and the Bushira Makuyi Foundation, my interactions with their founders,  Mrs. Bushira Makuyi Ansah and Mrs. Amy Peake, thus far, have rather been mostly about  me showing them possible sources of project funding, not soliciting cash from them. What perfidy. But I digress. Forgive me. Cool.)

In any case, be that as it may, yours is a digital-native-demographic, which can only thrive, if transparency and common-good servant-leaders, guide it. No question. Leadership that is opaque, corrupt and ruthlessly-self-seeking, most certainly cannot lead your dynamic and very-aware-and-clued-on generation. No. No. No. Never.

The question we need to ponder over is: Would your generation not profit immensely, for example, from a Gomoa Buduburam that has WiFi, which enables all of you to have permanent  access to the World Wide Web, regardless of wherever in Camp Liberia, you reside, I ask?  And, do you not need good leaders, who can point out to all of you, the many online  opportunities to earn good money, honestly,  instead of engaging in online fraud, for example?  You certainly do. Definitely. Case closed. 

Furtheremore, do you think the corrupt  and hypocritical dinosaurs, amongst those who now lead the Camp Liberia refugee community (whose many critics accuse of pretending to seek your welfare, but who perhaps don't actually even think of your generation, at all, judging by their abysmal track-record, thus far),  have the faintest idea about that particular community wide WiFi coverage, need, of your digital-native-generation's: for permanent free internet access, and, about  how to actually get that for you? No. No. No. You deserve better, wai. Absolutely.  So take action to control your own collective-destiny. Now. Not tomorrow. Swiftly.

As it happens, luckily, I am now in direct contact, with the very kind and generous-hearted,  Chief, of Gomoa Buduburam, the wise and Nkrumahist-Pan-Africanist,  Nana Kwaw Bediako. I intend to share a few ideas about how he, the good and development-oriented good-father, of Gomoa Buduburam, and his wisdom-filled Council of Elders, can leverage your generation's many gifts, and talents,  to help  them to transform Gomoa Buduburam into a prosperous, happy, all-inclusive and delightful  ecotourism-rural-community,  which will become a model for the rest of rural Ghana. Cool.

Will The Availability Of Trump's Tax Details Make A Difference In The November U.S. Presidential Election?

Finally, details of US. President Donald Trump's personal tax details, have become available, and, about time, too - many in the U.S. probably will say. The question is: Will that breaking news story (a New York Times scoop), perhaps be the very last episode, in the long-tale of the epic unmasking, of a divissive Hypocrite-in-Chief? Finally? 


To paraphrase  an old wag I know: How dare this amoral tax-dodging-liar, and Hitlerite-racial-bigot-without-equal, have the gall, and audacity, to unleash the world's most powerful military force, on his country's civilian populatiion, when he even refuses and avoids paying his fair-share- contribution of taxes?


Particularly, when the American military happen to be truly exceptional  armed forces,  which for decades, have been a well--trained and  disciplined, global-force-for-good, available at a moment's notice, to be effectively deployed, worldwide, to assist in natural disaster-rescue-and-stabilising missions? Haaba.


He must be made to pay for his perfidy, in prostituting the honour of  a well-respected  military, with such noble traditions - as if it were the personal-enforcement-tool, of  the  tin-pot-dictator, of a banana-republic-of-the-worst-kind. Monstrous.


Boot him out of office, this November, he must  be - to end the daily mindless-tweeting humiliations, which he inflicts on what happens to be an exceptional-nation of diverse-ethnicity, which is a quintessential-melting-pot-society, drawing its strength from harnessing the never-ending energy it perpetually obtains, for it's rapid progress, from the  manifold gifts and talents, of its dynamic rainbow-demographics. 


Shame on him. He must be made to pay for all the back taxes due that  he should have paid, as his fair-share-contribution, to the development of American society, but  which he cunningly avoided paying, for drcades. Most definitely not deserving of leading such a great nation.  No. No. No. A tax-dodging-liar is definitely not fit to be the U.S.military's Commander-in-Chief. Period.  Trump must go this November, for sure. Cool.

How Civil Society Organisations Like STRANEK Can Help Unravel The Agyapaapabi-Assaaseyaa Jersey-SPAC-Heist

If they want to see quick results, in the common-good-ends, which  they all seek, STRANEK, and the other civil society organisations, in Ghana, justly railing against the Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa-Jersey-scandal, should simply contact the UK branch of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists  (ICIJ), and hand the matter over to them. Simple. Case closed. Haaba.  Hmmmm, eyeasem, ooooo.

What they ought to do, is to point  out a vital clue, to the lead media professionals, in the  UK branch of the ICIJ,  who will be chosen to assist them - a clue that reveals the motivation behind it,  but which, alas, has unfortunately  escaped many critics of the Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa-Jersey-scandal, in Ghana.

Amanfuo, is state-capture,  based on tribal-supremacist-beliefs, of politically-exposed asset-stripping thieves-in-high-places, not a definite and veritable red-flag-issue, paaaaapabi, anaaaaaa?  Yooooooo...

The truth of the matter, is that the abomination, which the arrogant tribal-supremacist-agenda driving this egregious stealth-asset-stripping-agenda deal, represents,  has, even as we speak, already started to, and, will continue, to benefit sundry well-connected regime-crony professional-advisors, nyafu-nyafu ankasa. 

 

So this is also the Mother of all create-loot-and-share finacial services deals, wai, STRANEK & Co, abi?  Yooooooo...

 

And, in exchanging an assured annual  U. S.$200 million royalty-revenue-stream, over which Ghana has full control, for blank-check  investments overseas with those selfsame royalties, decisions about which we can neither sue nor challenge, and returns on which are not guaranteed, does it not remind one of how our nation was manoeuvred into losing the controlling-golden-share, with sugar-coated-promises, in the takeover of Ashanti Goldfields?  Hmmmm, eyeasem, ooooo...

Additionally, let STRANEK & Co ask themselves why, suddenly, so many top-flight lawyers,  accountants and sundry consultants, are all busy making hay, while the African sun shines brightly, and warmly, on their privileged happy-faces? Yoooooo...

Then there is the not inconsiderable vital-clue, that STRANEK and it's CSO allies, could make available to the UK  financial services sector's regulatory bodies: simply playing the secretly-recorded voice, of Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo (recorded during an NPP meeting at Koforidua), in which he implied implicitly that Akans (I am one myself,  oooo, Amanfuo ), must dominate Ghana, willy-nilly,  and benefit the most, from its gold deposits. The hypocritical sod.

Furthermore, currently, is it not a fact that that egregious-abuse-of-power outrage,  is only benefitting  Ghana's  current cohort of pampered golden-regime-princelings, who own and run  sundry opaque private-sector corporate entities, providing all manner of consultancy services, I ask? Yooooooo...

Is that fair, and equitable, in  a nation committed to achieving all the UN SDGs  -  and will it not create divisions in and amongst Ghanaian society's professional-classes? Yooooooo...

In any case, are the well-heeled lucky devils, currently chopping-Ghana-small, nyafu-nyafu, not members and sympathisers, of the current regime's confounded ruling party?  Was any open public tender announced, through Ghana's media houses, inviting bids for those juicy  state contracts - from those who flayed President Mahama for running a regime of family and friends? Bible-quoting hypocrites. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem ooooo. Enti, yewieye, paaa enei  Asem kesie, ebeba debi, ankasa, ooooo. Yoooooo ...

Can A new Chapter Of Private-Sector Joint-Venture Relations Between Australia And Ghana Be Opened - Kickstarted By Mirreco?

A female-owned Ghanaian green economy business,  which was showcased by the Australian High  Commissionera,  H. E. Talyor, on his mission's official  Facebook page's wall, is  definity worth supporting.  One thanks the Aussie diplomat for his dedicated and enthusiastic support of local busimesses near the Australian High Commission's offices,  and his official residence. How marvellous. Splendid.

Incidentally, since there isn't any doubt about his  love for Ghana, and it's beautiful people, one hopes that he will follow up on this bit of export-market-intelligence, for the Commonwealth of Australia,  which could lead to a lucrative win-win joint-venture presenc, in Ghana, for the dynamic Richard Evans' Mirreco -  the innovative and cutting--edge Aussie green economy company, leveraging  the  industrial hemp value-chain.

As someone whose family has been a cocoa-farming one, from the early 1920s, from the British colonial era, one is keenly aware of the existential threat posed by the gold mining industry (both  and illegal),  to the longterm future of cocoa, the backbone-cash-crop, which almost single-handedly supports our national economy.

On the ground, across the forest belt, there is no question that a new agricultural sector substitute, for cocoa, which is even more valuable, in terms of its value chain's wealth creation and job creation potential, and export potential, must quickly be found,  if rural Ghana is not to be eventually denuded of its energetic  younger generations.

That  is why one makes bold to invite the current Australian High Commissioner,  to tour the biggest of one's  family's freehold  landholding portfolio, which lies in the Akyem Juaso section, of the Atewa Mountain Range.

It so happens that part of our incredibly beautiful, and biodiversuty-rich, upland evergreen rainforest property, there, totalling 99.6 acres, and referred to,  in Forestry Commission jargon, as an 'admitted-farm', lies within the official government Atewa Forest Reserve. In total, our family owns 14-square miles of freehold land, at Akyem Juaso.

If he is amenable to it,  our family, led by my favourite nephew, Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom, Ghana's foremost green entrepreneur, and CEO, of the  famed Legon Botanical Gardens, will be happy to welcome the Aussie diplomat, to undertake a scoping-inspection-trip, to see for himself,  the egregious damage caused by illegal gold miners and illegal loggers, to what is valuable natural capital with potential as an ecotourism destination, and site for a living laboratory for biodiversity researchers from around the globe.

The Australian High Commission, could help save such valuable natural capital,  by empowering a Mirreco-led creation, of a new intergrated industrial hemp industry, across rural Ghana, to restore mined out sites nationwide,  and make them productive once again. Such a green economy  initiative, could be transformative. 

Above all, it will enable the Aussie diplomat to leave a Ghanaian tour-of-duty legacy, as the most effective Aussie diplimat deployed here, ever, thus far, in the long history of Ghana-Australia relations. Is he Game? Perhaps the question those of us in rural Ghana, must ponder over us: Can a new chapter of private-sector joint-venture relations between Australia and Ghana, be opened soon  - kickstarted by Mirreco venturing here? Cool.

Our Homeland Ghana Will Remain A Constitutional-Unitary-Republic Till the Very End Of Time

This is no time for apportioning blame,  for what has just happened, in Juapong, and elsewhere, in that part of our homeland Ghana, fellow Ghanaians. Whatever we do, cool heads must prevail. For now. Definitely.  

Playing the blame-game, is, and, will be, counter-productive, and pointless. Obviously, in the fullness of time we will demand answers, from all those, who were appointed in good faith, by our current leader, President Akufo-Addo, to ensure the safety of our Republic. For sure.

The question is: How should we now proceed, in dealing once, and for all, with the moronic, unhinged-and-foolhardy-individuals,  being manipulated by unseen-dark-forces, working both inside and outside our borders, to create the false impression globally,  that Ghana no longer remains a peaceful-investment-destination, and politically stable haven,  in an increasingly  troubled West African sub-region?

Above all, let us always remember that we must never forget that  ours is a united nation, of diverse-ethnicity,  bonded together by ties of marriage, and consanquinity, as one aspirational and peaceful African people, with a common destiny. And so will it remain till the  very end of time - but we must constantly work to ensure that. Always. Cool.

We are, thank heavens, an aspirational and mostly hardworking African people, in a nation that is transforming itself, dramatically, into an increasingly  prosperous society - despite the many constraints it faces. If we are patriotic and remain committed to serving our nation with all our minds and hearts, no one can halt our journey to all-inclusive-prosperity. Ever.

To deal effectively with those bent on treasonable-conduct, we must all put aside party-political-pariochialism - at a juncture of our history, perforce,  we must all rally round the government of the day, as patriotic citizens, who love Mother Ghana passionately -  and give our wholehearted support,  to all those who are charged with ensuring the safety of our Republic. For now.

Let us share useful creative-ideas, with them, about how we can deal effectively, with the fools who still want to toy with our destiny, as a united nation of diverse-ethnicity bonded together, as one people.

 

That refreshing development, was made possible, by the solid foundation laid after independence, by the imaginative and non-tribalistic policies, of  the Convention People's Party (CPP) government of President Nkrumah,  which made us coexist peacefully, as an all-embracing cultural-melting-pot-society, peopled by a united  African people, sharing a common destiny. United, those nation-wreckers, can neither derail our development,  nor tear us apart as nationalistic and patriotic Ghanaian citizens - in whom sovereignty resides: under our system. 

Ours will always remain such a nation - the current nonsense-on-bamboo-stilts in Juapong, and eslewhere, in that part of our country, notwithstanding - till the very end of time. May God Almighty bless, guide and protect Mother Ghana, always. Cool.

A Quick Note To Mr. Dennis - Who Claims To Be Part Of The Leadership Of Camp Liberia's Refugee Community

 

Dear Mr. Dennis,

 
I shall go straight to the point: No one in the so-called leaderships, of the Liberian community in the Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area; the local offices of the Ghana Refugee Board, and the Gomoa East District Assembly's local offices in Gomoa Budumburam, can prevent me, from achieving the goal I have set for myself. Never. Full stop.

My goal, in seeking to work with Amy Peake's Loving Humanity NGO, and the Bushira Makuyi Foundation, is simply to find a creative way, to empower the poorest of the poor females, in Camp Liberia's base-of-the-pyramid demographic, to become financially-secure, and independent women, who can take care of themselves, and their offspring, as well, without being dependent on either their husbands', or their boyfriends' whom they cohabit with, through creative-thinking. Simple. Case closed.

I find the idea that there are people in Camp Liberia, apparently questioning my motivation, somehow, for that simple goal, deeply offensive. Fools.

That is why I have decided to ignore what on the ground, in Camp Liberia (according to bush-telegraph sources), is akin to a reign-of-terror, by petty-local-officialdom, which is said to be part of the callous Mafia, which has allegedly siphoned off trillions of old Ghana cedis, of UNHCR cash, over the decades, meant for the welfare of hapless refugees. Disgraceful.

Clearly, what that means, in effect, is that the exploitation that has gone on, more or less began from day one, right from the moment when those poor fellow Africans, forced to flee their homeland, Liberia (and other sister nation's that were also torn apart by brutal civil wars, such as Sierra Leone, incidentally), arrived on our shores and have still apparently never received any post traumatic stress disorder (PTSC) counselling, since their arrived in Ghana, and subsequently, over the decades-time-frame that they have been here. Scandalous. Monstrous. Unspeakable . Unpardonable.

Massa, get this straight: Kofi Thompson is not a con-man seeking to use Camp Liberia's poor and over-exploited refugee-community, to somehow enrich himself, wai. Haaba.

And, any of you, who has the temerity, to think that you can use that egregious-falsehood, and short-sighted daft-thinking-strategy, to label me as some crook-with-a-hidden-agenda, out to cook up a scheme to dupe poor people in Camp Liberia, is a fool and blackguard. Period.

Mr. Dennis, Kofi Thompson is not a crook, wai. Neither does he fear the wicked-and-callous-crooks, anongst the so-called community-leaderships, some of whom allegedly daily conspire to use their positions, as leaders, for personal-gain, at the expense of Camp Liberia's traumatised poor. What gall you leeches have.

For your information, according to bush-telegraph sources, there are said to be indications that some too-clever-by-half people, in Camp Liberia, are apparently suspicious about the motivation for what I am trying to do, for the poorest females in Camp Liberia, in particular, and in Gomoa Buduburam generally. Imagine that. Ebeiiii.

In light of that, I humbly suggest that you find time to read as many of my published articles, as you can find and digest. I will not meet with you, until you have done so. Ever.

The reason for that insistence of mine, is that that will enable you to clearly understand my motivation, as a Pan-Africanist, and patriotic Ghanaian citizen-journalist (and plain-speaking-blogger), who is on the side of the ordinary people of Africa - as opposed to toadying to the thieves-in-high-places, amongst the continent's vampire ruling-élites, as so many media professionals across Africa, often are, before you too insult me, by doubting my motives. The impudence.

Finally, if you are still in doubt, then please take my advice: report your daft-suspicions about me, to the national security minister, Hon. Bryan Acheampong, for swift action to be taken to arrest and jail me for investigations to be carried out, to ascertain your worst fears, wai. What infernal cheek. Hmmm eyeasem, oooo...

Thanks - and peace and blessings to all of you who make up the sodden-so-called-leadership, of Camp Liberia's refugee community. You have finally met your match, oooo, Massa. You have trodden on grounds where even angels fear to tread, wai, Massa. Yoooooo...

Kind regards,
Kofi.

A Quick Note To The Global Vehicle Trust

Gentlemen, 

We salute for your genius employed in the-service of base-of-the-pyramid-demographics, worldwide.  Bravo, and kudos to you,  for the amazing all-terrain-mobility-star, you designed, the  fantastic Ox. 

Gentlemen, it strikes me that the Global Vehicle Trust, which you lead so effectively, could finally find the perfect environment it needs to start manufacturing the unique and marvellous all-terrain vehicle that will help  resolve an African  mobility-conundrum.

We are firm in our belief the the Ox could suddenly transform rural economies right across the continent, which is now a common market of some 1.3 billion people, and is expected to reach a combined GDP of $29 trillion by 2050.

My native Ghana, which hosts the secretariat of the African Common Market, now hosts a slew of vehicle assembly plants, including the latest from Europe, Volkswagen Ghana. Nissan too is preparing to open an assembly plant here too. Ghana is the perfect base for your first assembly plant, to enable you  launch the Ox, onto mobility markets worldwide. 

One humbly suggests you contact the British High Commission  in Accra, for the needed country-risk-intelligence, which will enable you to do effect due-diligence, on potential local partners. 

Personally,  I believe that by targettjng a distressed local passenger bus coachbuilder,  Neoplan Ghana Limited, you could speed up your development plans, and kill two birds with one stone - offer a skilled workforce a second chance to manufacture/assemble fantastic vehicles, and give their company the needed world-class management it so desperately needs.

Above all, the Ghana Exim Bank, and those who manage our country's insurance and pension funds , will be happy to fund your Ghanaian venture as long-haul-impact-investment partners, who see a good and solid investment when they spot one.

As it happens, the present regime is pro-business, and quite keen to transform rural Ghana, into a prosperous part of our aspirational and stable society -  that is bound to become one of the most prosperous nations anywhere on the surface of the planet Earth. 

Finally, there are two people you ought to  get in touch with in your venture into Ghana: Vice President, Dr. Mahammudu Bawumia, whom you can reach  through the British High Commission in Ghana, and the brilliant Ghanaian inventor, the merchant navy officer, chief  engineer Raphael Afordoanyi (WhatsApp:+233 26 974 6270), who could help you  transform Neoplan Ghana Limited in spectacular fashion, as a world-class EV passenger bus manufacturer. No question. Cool.

Thanks - and good luck!

Kind regards,

Kofi.

A Quick Note To Cathy Valley - An Amazing Cosmopolitan U.S. Amazon-Queen

Hello Cathy,

You might not be aware of it, but you actually share the same birth-date, with one of the greatest ever Black African leaders, the great Pan-Africanist nationalist leader, President Kwame Nkrumah, of blessed memory.

So, you are in very, very good company. Happy birthday to you, Ohemaa. In my humble view, you are just the type of cosmopolitan White U.S. citizen, whose open-mindedness, and empathy, is so desperately needed in your great country, today.

It is such a tragedy that the United States of America, has now fallen into the hands of an evil Hitlerite-cabal, which is set on maintaining power, at all costs - and has no qualms about even plunging what is without question, one of the greatest global powers, ever, in the entire history of human civilisation, into violence and chaos nationwide: in order to achieve that ghastly end.

If only other decent, and fair-minded White Americans, would be as wide awake as you are, Cathy, to the longterm threat posed to American democracy, by Trump's miasma-of-divisiveness - which, sadly, now envelopes what is, without a shadow of doubt, the greatest power, and force-for-good, ever, in the entire history of human civilisation, but which is now gradually being increasingly perceived globally, as a third-rate-banana-republic, despised by millions. Pity.

The plain truth, is that America will only become great, once again, when it's ruling-élites finally come to understand, clearly, that their morally-badly-wounded-nation, must embrace the inclusiveness, which will enable it harness the many gifts, and talents, of the brightest and best individuals, amongst all its racial demographics. Happy birthday, to you, Ohemaa (Twi for Queen), you are indeed an amazing Cosmopolitan-American-Amazon-Queen!

A Quick Note To Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom - Ghana's Foremost Green entrepreneur And My Favourite Nephew

My dear Kofi,

 That magnificent property you built with your sweat, which contains three flats, and is set in such lovrly grounds, that youbokanbed for while the building was on the drawing board, is, in my humble view, the fruit of your hard work.

It is ample evidentiary-proof, to the greed-filled  philistines into whose grasping-hands, our beautiful Mother Ghana has fallen, that natural capital,  leveraged  harmoniously, conservation-wise,  can indeed  create unimaginable wealth, and jobs galore, for Ghana's aspirational younger generations, wai.

Let those genius-idiots, who know the price of everything under the African sun, but are too blind to see the priceless-jewel that our natural heritage  represents, see why fresh oxygen-laden air, such as that which  envelops the Legon Botanical Gardens, today, thanks to your dedicated-stewardship,  could boost the immune systems of all Ghanaians, and make ours a healthy population - simply by making our forest reserves sacred treasures: that those who desecrate, do so, at the pain of being shot on sight. Always. Fools.

Who born  dog, I ask?  Kwasiafuo. Massa, some of us are fed up, with being governed by arrogant and stupid people. Full stop. Kofi, wu ye bue ankasa! Thanks for beihg such a sharing-and-caring man, wai.

Wofaasi, wu ye Barima paaapabi ampaa, ooooo: You sweated profusely over many years, and built anot incredibly  beautiful house (set in magnificent grounds that you planned carefully for),  with three charming  flats in it, then distributed them to the children you live for, and always  seek to protect, while you remain alive, to see them enjoy it. What a man: Kofi wu ye bue ankasa, wai! Hmmmm, life...

Forever your best Uncle,

Akokoraa-Cantankerous-Kofi-Thompson.

Fascinating Gomoa Buduburam's Camp Liberia Refugee Settlement Area - Fun And Very Interesting To Visit

Ghana's Central Region's Gomoa Buduburam's Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, is one of the most dynamic rural communities, in all of our very beautiful nation. Fascinating place. Fun-filled. And, it really is worthy of being explored, by adventurous-traveller-types from around the world, who love Africa. Definitely.

And, in a sense, it has the soul of Liberian society, constantly hovering over it, to comfort the remainder, of the Liberian refugees, still living there, because they have opted to be integrated into Ghanaian society.

Despite the desperate lack of economic opportunities for the area's many young people, which is noticeable by the many Camp Liberia youthful-fashionistas killing time creatively, there is still so much infectious humour, which daily fills the charming-atmosphere, in Camp Liberia. That, and the loud music, blasted out from loudspeakers, which are ubiguitous features, across the Camp Liberia landscape, make the place such a marvellous cultural-melting-pot-of-many-nationalities, and fun-loving rural community.

To say that Camp Liberia is full of energy that is incredibly infectious - like all melting-pot-communities worldwide - is an understatement. It simply has be experienced. Unfortunately, it has also has a negative image, which, in one's humble view, really is undeserved. Totally.

Luckily, in the not too distant future, thanks to the generosity of the UK social-impact NGO, Loving Humanity, and the Bushira Makuyi Foundation, a creative social and economic empowerent initiative, for females in Camp Liberia, will eventually bring economic opportunities for many of Camp Liberia's poorest-of-the-poor amongst the area's female population.

That female-empowerment opportunity, is being made possible, by a gifted unit of Amy Peake's (aka the Sanitary-pad-missionary), famed sanitary-pad-factory-in-a-shipping-container export-units. And the freight and insurance costs involved in shipping it to Ghana, when cleared and transported to Camp Liberia, will be borne by the Bushira Makuyi Foundation. Marvellous.

As it happens, the Bushira Makuyi Foundation's founder, the genius-entrepreneur, Mrs. Bushira Makuyi Ansah, also co-owns the leading logistics company, Lavita Ghana Limited, with her dynamic huqsband, Mr. Samuel Agyin Ansah. They also co-own one of the best equipped, and most modern printing presses, in West Africa, SpeedPrints.

It ought to be pointed out that the Bushira Makuyi Foundation's must important contribution, has been to design a social-impact-business-model, which will enable groups of ten women in Camp Liberia, to buy the sanitary pads, and incontinent pads, on credit, sell them, and then repay the factory. Brilliant.

The lucky Camp Liberia women's cooperative society, which will own the factory, is led by local pillars, the popular and hardworking businesswoman, Hajia Tenneh Kamara, and the equally hardworking, and very wise, Prophetess Felicia Toe, whose All Believers Prayer Ministry Church, in Camp Liberia, was founded in the 90s, when the first wave of Liberian refugees arrived in Ghana.

Like all such diverse melting-pot-communities the world over, there are some very good and interesting people, as well as some not-so-nice individuals (often Nigerian illegal immigrants, who are members of local criminal-syndicates), which one needs to be wary of. The question that needs pondering over is: Does the same situation not also pertain elsewhere, even in parts of great global cities such as: New York City; London; Amsterdam; etc., etc.?

Finally, for those adventurous-types seeking truly authentic, off-the-beaten-track rural communities, in Africa, to explore, Ghana's Central Region's Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, is a fascinating, fun-filled and interesting place to visit. I live nearby - and recommend it to all adventure-seeking travellers. Definitely. Cool.

How Can We Protect President Akufo-Addo From The Thieves-In-High-Places Ruining His Impressive Legacy?

To stop the greed-filled thieves-in-high-places, whose perfidy is ruining the legacy of Ghana's best elected leader, since President Nkrumah's overthrow in 1966, President Akufo-Addo, no end, we must do the following:

Demand written guarantees from all the presidential candidates, that they will send Bills to Parliament, within the first hundred days after being sworn into office, to pass into  new laws, under a certificate of urgency, which will empower all Ghana's Auditor Generals, to prosecute those siphoning off taxpayers' cash into their pockets.

Ditto demand that all presidential candidates for the upcoming December presidential poll,  to give written guarantees to retain  the bravest and most patriotic Auditor General, since Ghana gained her independence in 1957, Mr. Yao Domelovo, in his post, for the entirety of his or her tenure, as Ghana's  President.

Finally, to protect President Akufo-Addo  (whom I support 100 percent, for his bold and transformative policies, and love for
Mother Nature, and who I boldly predict will win the December presidential election, by a landslide), from his own party that has unfortunately evolved into a criminal organisation, in all but name (because of its desperate need for cash to run its operations nationwide), we should vote out all the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) MPs, and replace them with candidates of  opposition parties, and suitable independent  parliamentary candidates. Simple. Cool.

A Friendly Quick Note - Providing Valuable Commercial Intelligence To Mirreco's Founder Richard Evens

Hello Richard,

Volkswagen Ghana, and its partner, the US company,  BlackIvy, might be stealing a march on Mirreco: https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Bawumia-lauds-VW-BlackIvy-collaboration-1061734.

I do hope that news of that development,  will fire your competitive-spirit, and help  to speed up your plans for Africa. 

As we speak,  our contacts have  informed us that both the governments of Guinea-Bissau,  and The Gambia, are anxiously awaiting your assurances that you will help them develop an industrial hemp industry, Richard.

Could Mirreco not begin, in cost -effective-fashion, by first simply initiating  technical assistance programmes, to enable the establishment of industrial hemp plantations, in the two nations,  through join-venture partnerships, with local private-sector partners, in PPPs with the two governments?

Surely, that shouldn't be too difficult, for an incredibly creative mind, like yours, Richard?    

Think of the jobs that will be create swiftly, for rural youths, in both countries - and the satisfaction that will give you: a socially responsible Aussie entrepreneur, committed to the development of prosperous and inclusive societies, globally, by private-sector-ingenuity?

Let us hear from you soon.  Wishing you well, as always - and let's continue staying safe from COVID-19. Cool.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Kofi.

A Quick Note To Brian T. Mullis - Who Founded Sustainable Travel International

My dear Brian,

I do hope  you are well, happy and content - as are your family members, too. It so happens that we are keen to see a continental carbon offset market, akin to a green-stock-market (if that is feasible, and practicable, from your point of view); developed, and based in Ghana's capital city, of Accra.

The idea is that it will be ultimately owned by private-sector entities, across the continent, with the objective of replacing today's mostly-strings-attached-funding, for infratructural projects, most of which are currently provided by China.

It will be a perfect way to ensure the preservation of Africa's remaining forests, across the continent, in one's  humble view, while providing the cash needed to finance  the continent's transformation. 

The question we must thus ponder over is: Based on your personal experience, do you   think we could collaborate with you, to execute such a green funding-initiative,  in Ghana - which happens to be the headquarters of the secretariat of the continental free trade area?

If the answer to that question is yes, then do tell us precisely what we should provide you, with, to enable you work with us, and other partners,  to establish such a carbon-offset exchange/market,  in which we, the promoters, will own also financial stakes, too. 

Above all, if we can factor in Raphael Afordoanyi's serendipitous game-changing, off-grid stand-alone, and emission-free clean-power invention, which produces electricity  that never goes off (and, additionally, is so affordable and competitive that it is even cheaper than nuclear power, which, alas, is lumbered with super-dangerous-radioactive-waste, which we all know remains dangerous, and, lethal, for thousands of years! ), we will offer a carbon offset initiative/scheme that will be one of the world's most attractive, and beneficial-win-win carbon offset markets anywhere, on the surface of the planet Earth. Cool.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Kofi.

A Thank-You Note To Amy Peake - The Famed Sanitary Pad Missionary

My dear Amy,

Knowing how busy you invariably are, I will keep this missive-of-gratitude, pretty short. I want to thank you, from the botton of my heart, on behalf of all  the ladies in Ghana's Central Region's Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, whom you have so kindly  gifted a unit  of your sanitary-pad-factory-in-a-shipping-container, to.

The key stipulated-condition, that they will recieve the donated factory, and a year's supply of raw materials, only if they are able to find a sponsor to pay for the cost of the  insurance and freight, involved  in shipping the gifted container, from a UK port, to Tema Port, in Ghana, cleared, and delivered to them, in Camp Liberia, has now been miraculously met, as we speak. 

As luck would have it, when approached to do so, Bushira Makuyi, a brilliant, dynamic and hugely successful young Ghanaian businesswoman, readily agreed to meet the said logistics-costs, for those lucky Camp Liberia ladies -  as the first emergency-humanitarian-initiative, of the new charitable foundation (the Bushira  Makuyi Foundation), which she is setting up, as  a vehicle to enable her give back to society, for her amazing good fortune  in life.

The generous-hearted  Bushira, and her equally brilliant husband, Samuel Agyin Ansah, the  CEO of SpeedPrints Ghana Limited, and Lavita Ghana Limited  (a leading logistics company here), both very successful businesses, which  the husband-and-wife-duo, jointly own, and run;  are examples of Ghana's private-sector's  nation-building, creative-young-achiever-demographic, amongst our younger generations,   quite a few of whom  I have been privileged to know, and work with, over the last few decades.

Ghana's private-sector,  is indeed incredibly lucky, to have such imaginative,  world-class young entrepreneurs - most of whom, aside from having such  amazing drive, and business-acumen, are also socially and environmentally responsible, thank goodness. It certainly  gives one hope for the future of our dear nation. 

Finally, our network's contacts in Liberia, the Gambia, Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau, are all very keen to partner you, and your very able Loving Humanity   management team, to enable them also empower deprived females in those nations' base-of-the-pyramid demographics, by setting up sanitary pad and incontinent pad manufacturing plants, too, in partnership with Loving Humanity UK. We will recommend Loving Humanity, for the Zayed Sustainability (Health Sector) Prize, once all those projects are executed. Cool. Peace and blessings to you and your Loving Humanity management team, Amy.

Thanks. 

Kind regards,

Kofi.

The Long And Short Of The Agyapaapabi-Assaaseyaa-Jersey-SPAC-Heist

A blank-check SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisitions Company) vehicle, turned on its ugly head, is what is being deployed, as we speak, to legally trick the Republic of Ghana, and its hapless citizens, out of today's  assured annual US $200 million gold royalties, in exchange for crumps-from-a-pie-in-the-sky future dividends from sundry acquisitions that might, or might not ever materialise. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana - eyeasem, ooooo: enti yewieye paaaaa enei? Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa, oooo. Yooooo...

And it is being achieved by dangling the carrot of a billion dollars of raised capital  for infrastructural development and expansion (made possible by the allure of today's assured annual US $200 million gold revenues sold to ruthless foreign investors through expensive create-loot-and-share road shows organised by golden princelings whose gold-tinged-family-trees the African sun is now shinning brightly on, and are consequently making serious-sika, whiles the blessed  sun shines), in exchange for tomorrow's speculative dividends in sundry entities, which mIght, or might  never materialise, and the selection of which, not even Parliament will be able to control, and the shameless greedy-bastards behind said heist,  want to  be legally absolved, of all regulatory-fiduciary-responsibilities, but still desire to reap where they have not 'sown', till the very end of time (especially in the areas of Ghana outside their super-duper-tribe's traditional areas), in the   Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa-Jersey-scandal. Hmmmmm, eyeasem,  ooooo...

Finally, long story short: When a group of tribal-supremacists (who have  conveniently forgotten that Ghana is a multi-ethnic nation, in which gold abounds nationwide,  from the south to the north,  and from the east to the west); think that Ghana ought to be dominated by the one ethnic group they hail from, this, Ghanafuo, is the road they took (the Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa-Jersey-heist), to actualize the  perfidious ends,  sought by an arch-tribal-supremascist's (the perfidious Yaw Osafo Marfo's) angry-lament, that nowhere in the world, except Ghana, did outsider-minorities, dominate the blessed-privileged-elites, amongs the-majority-population. Simple. Case closed.

Perchance Is There A Conspicuous Missing-From-Manifestos-Clue That Is A Harbinger Of Future Egregious-Corruption?

A conspicuous missing-from-manifestos-clue, to the NPP/NDC duopoly's contempt for ordinary Ghanaians: failing to promise to swiftly pass new laws, empowering the Auditor General to prosecute, once they assume office - and ensure its passage by Parliament, and its accomplishment within their first 100 days in office. 

Does that missing-from-manifestos-clue,   perhaps tell us something,  one wonders: A harbinger of the egregious-rot to come, perhaps? The question discerning minds need to ponder over is: Does that perhaps show their determination to continue gang-raping Mother Ghana, and Mother Nature, anaaaaa -  by cooking up yet more Assaaseyaa-Agyapaaapabi-capers? Yoooooo...   

Fellow Ghanaians, have we not all seen the ponderous pace, which a poorly-resourced Special Prosecutor, is forced to adopt? Perchance, is that outrageous situation, not an enforced-by-suspicious-curcumstances-failing, which, alas, has been, and is,  enabling and emboldening, rapacious-thieves-in-high-places? Yoooooo...

And will their failure to promise to empower the Auditor General  to prosecute thieves-in-high-places, not result in their  ability  to continue their rip-off of our country, and entrenching their personal-wealth-creation-duping-strategies, as well as their  massive defrauding of the Ghanaian nation-state;  and their impoverishing a hapless and  thoroughly-fed-up-citizenry, by piling up yet more endless-debt,  with total impunity,  once in office, again? Yoooooo...

Hmmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem, ooooo - enti yewieye paaa enei? Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa, ooooo.  Yoooooo...

To Whom It Might Concern - Stop The Anti-Akyem Name-Calling

We Akyems, are a litigious people, ooooo - so those across Ghana, who think they can toy with our dignity, and get away with it, ought to tread cautiously; and not venture where even the Devil himself fears to go, wai.  Yooooooo...

For the information  of all Ghanaians, the so-called Akyem-Mafia (the shameless and disgraceful thieves-in-high-places, in the president's inner-circle,  who are now making hay, asset-stripping  the enterprise Ghana by stealth, while the African sun shines on their family trees, and are busy backstabbing President Akufo-Addo, while at it), most certainly don't represent us, Akyems, at all, oooooo. Yoooooo...

It is rather the serious-minded, dynamic and hardworking, no-nonsense Minister for Roads and Transport, Hon. Kwesi Amoako-Atta, who exemplifies us. So let that positive  message go forth, from today. Yenpe,  rough,  koraaaaa, oooooo. Yooooooo...

Any Ghana-busybody-Agyemang-or-Gariba, who seeks to insult all of us , Akyems, by trying to stick that badge-of-dishonour-and-shame, on us, collectively, will have to answer, not only to Assaseyaa, but will  also have to account  to Agyapaaaapabi, too, ooooo. So they had better stop the Anti-Akyem name-calling. Now. Fast.  Case closed. Hmmmm. Eeiiii, Oman Ghana -  eyeasem oooo:  enti yewieye, paaaaaa,  enei? Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa, oooooo. Yoooooo...

Ghanaian Media - Step Up You Game Now

Ghanaian media professionals, please step  up your game, ooooo.  Haaba. What infernal cheek those thieves-in-high-places have.  Is the Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa-Jersey-scandal, not the mother of all create-loot-and-share  insider-deals, ever, anaaaaa? Yoooooo...

And, is the plain truth not that no  self-respecting UK legal firm, which abhors the vampire-elite-nepotism, and  egregious corruption, which is impoverishing millions across Africa, would touch Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a politically-exposed-person, with a barge pole? Yoooooo...

Furthermore,  why does it not strike our local,  oh-so-so-intelligent media professionals, as yet, that another oddity, of the Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa-Jersey-scandal, is  that one more politically-exposed-person, Kofi Osafo Marfo, was also one of the well-connected regime-crony-professional-advisors, acting as a 'no-size-best-in-Sikakrom-consultant' in that well-thought-out stealth-asset-stripping-deal? Ebeiiii. Yoooooo...

The New Patriotic Party  (NPP) accused former President John Dramani Mahama, of running a government of family and friends. 

 

The question we must all ponder over is: Why have the Ghanaian media,  still not counted precisely, just how many family and friends then President Mahama, actually had in his regime - and, also counted the number of friends and family members, in the current NPP administration, who aren't as honest and hardworking, as Hon. Kwesi Amoako-Atta, the no-nonsense Minister for Roads and Transport (and a blood relative of President Akufo-Addo's), for fact-checking-comparative-purposes? Yoooooo...  

The time has now definitely come for the Ghanaian media to step up their game. Haaba. Don't they realise that even more chop-chop has been lined up for sundry regime-crony-consultants to make merry, while the African sun shines, on their family trees?  Yoooooo...

Do the Ghanaian media still not understand the nyafu-nyafu chop-chop-benefits coming  to the lucky best-in-Sikakrom-golden-boys-and-girls, from already-lined-up IPO-road-shows, in various financial capitals, overseas - to sell their smoke-and-mirrors-heist's narratives, to the selfsame greedy-types, who piled into AngloGoldAshanti shares, when our golden share was tricked out of us, years ago, to enable AngloGold secure a smooth pathway, to take over Ashanti Goldfields, on it's own  terms, with vain-sugar-coated promises, which it never intended to keep, in the first place?

 

Ghanaian media, step up  your game, fast, oooo - by leading Ghana's civil society organisation, to collaborate with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/what-is-a-tax-haven-offshore-finance-explained/), in this all-important matter. Simple. Hmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem, ooooo  -  enti yewieye paaa enei? Asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa, ooooo. Yoooooo...

Why My Body Will Be Donated To The University of Ghana Medical School - And What My Ideal African Woman Is Like

Someone asked me, a few days ago, why I have opted to donate my body to the Anatomy Department, of the University of Ghana Medical School. I laughed heartily, and told him that it was my wish because I hated the idea of my body going to waste, in a grave,  when it could be used for teaching purposes, which might  help advance medical science, in Ghana. Cool.

Then he asked me -  because I always say that in the war of the sexes, I am firmly in the camp of the female of the species - what my ideal African woman looked like. Again, I laughed heartily,  and proceeded to describe, to him,  what her appearance was, like, in my mind's eye.


For starters, skin bleaching is abhorrent to  my ideal African woman, who would also never (perish the thought) dream of either straightening her hair, or wearing a wig of any kind. She sports her natural hair which is cut and kept low. Neither would she (perish the thought) dream of fixing claw-like artificial nails on her own nails.


And, she would never wear stiletoe heels, but would always opt for shoes with sensible heels, of the kind worn regularly by  the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Cool. And, most important of all, never use new-fangled-danger-laden stuff, to keep her holy-of-holies, clean and healthy; but rather stick religiously to good quality soap and water. Always. Cool.


Above all, Massa, we will never fall for any African woman,  who did not treasure kaba-and-slit, ooooo, as her daily attire, wai. So there, Massa.  Finally, my ideal African woman, is a highly-intelligent African-Amazon-Queen,  who oozes self-confidence,  is an achiever-of-note,  and, a chaste  woman who is also principled, and always guided by her moral compass, which is pretty solid and made of solid gold, spiritually. Cool.

Agyapaapabi-Assaseyaa PLC - An Overwhelming Sense Of Déjà Vu?

There is an overwhelming sense of déjà vu, for me, which reminds some of us, of the lies and half-truths that were deployed, when a few well-connected and powerful figures, in Ghana, at the time, sought to get rid of the golden share, which Ghana had, in Ashanti  Goldfields, in order to pave the way for smooth takeover, on their own terms, of Ashanti Goldfields, by AngloGold. Hmmmm,  eyeasem,  oooooo. Yooooooo...

To begin with, the question we ought to ponder over, as the asset-stripping of the enterprise Ghana,gathers pace, is: Why are Ghana's ruling-élites, carrying on, as if a healthy and thriving natural environment, can be sacrificed, without dire consequences, for endless-collaterised-debt? Yoooooo...

Massa, collaterised-debt by any name, is still collaterised-debt: it is the unpardonable-and-unconscionable mortgaging, of the future of our younger generations, notwithstanding whatever  fancy nomenclature is adopted, by our sly vampire-élites, to try and bamboozle  unwary-innocents-abroad-and-locally-in-Sikakrom. Yooooo...

Hmmmm, eeeiiiiii, Oman Ghana, eyeasem ooooo - enti yewieye paaaaa, enei? Assaaseyaa-Agyapaaapabi PLC. The question is: Mainstream Ghanaian media, isn't there a sense of déjà vu, amongst you at all - with memories of the tactics used to deprive Mother Ghana of her golden share, when we were tricked into accepting the vain-sugar-coated-promises, which enabled clever-foriegners to use AngloGold to swallow up Ashanti Goldfields, without trace? Yoooooo...

Finally, perhaps when we eventually cotton on to the fact that a manufactured-fog-of-deceit, was deliberately spread, worldwide, through super-expensive-IPO-roadshows, in repeating the selfsame financial equivalent, of the devilish-sleight-of-hand-manoeuvre, which enabled canny foreigners to deprive us of  Ashanti Goldfields, we will  then curse all the unpatriotic-greed-filled-Ghanaians, who cooked up this unspeakable and unpardonable heist. But, alas, it will be too late to do anything about it, then. Eeiiiii, Oman Ghana - enti yewieye paaa enei?  Hmmmm, eyeasem, ooooo.  Asem kesie, bi, ebeba, debi ankasa, ooooo. Yoooooo...

A Quick Note To Banksy - Who Apparently Finances Migrant Boats To Cross The Mediterranean Sea

Dear Banksy, 

With the greatest respect, instead of financing migrants to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe,  why do you not rather spend such funds to set up a free  online multimedia streaming  platform, instead - where talented young Africans can showcase their work?

Your ownership of such an online platform, will guarantee a global audience, and ensure that talented artists, musicians, dancers, sculptors, dress designers, filmmakers, handicraft-makers,  etc., etc., from Africa, can earn decent money regularly,  thanks to your  intervention.

Alas, heartbreaking though it is, Europe's policy of blocking Migrant Boats To stop them reaching Europe's shores,  is the right one - for it sends a powerful message to the criminal syndicates who run people-smuggling rings, with agents across Africa: that they will not be allowed to profit from their cruel and inhuman trade, smuggling vulnerable Africans to Europe, in leaky rust buckets, across the Mediterranean Sea. Simple. 

And, best of all, through  the continent-wide  bush-telegraph-grapevine, makes it absolutely clear to young  would-be migrants from Africa that they are not welcome to a Europe that neither wants nor  needs new migrants, like them. Since you so obviously care about them, your free online multimedia streaming platform will help the very people you care so much about to remain at home to hone their talents for the many opportunities a free Banksy multimedia streaming platform will make possible. Wish you well - and thanks does caring about the plight of young Africans. Cool.

Thanks,

Yourso sincerely,

Kofi.
