To Safeguard Ghanaian Democracy Should Ghana's Present-Day Media-Empires Be Broken Up?

 The Ghanaian media failed Mother Ghana, terribly, when they refused to see the importance of swiftly denouncing the appointment of Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo, as Senior Minister, by President Akufo-Addo. Bush-telegraph sources, apparently have it, that the nest-of-vipers at the presidency, allegedly responsible for the Agyapa Royalties rip-off, can be laid squarely at Yaw Osafo Marfo's sodden doorstep. 



In not denoucing his appointment, it as was if a Klu Klux Klan admirer, and an avowed and proud extreme-Hitlerite, had been appointed as Senior Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister, by the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson - and the British media had remained loudly-silent about it. Incredible.



Any Ghanaian politician, who is a secret tribal-supremacist (and there are far too many of them, in our system, for comfort, if truth be told), isn't fit to be included in the  leadership of our multi-ethnic country. Ever. Full stop.


In today's Africa, no tribe is superior or inferior, to another. It is time the more responsible sections of the Ghanaian media understood that clearly. Media professionals must stop enabling such divisive-characters, if ours is to remain a stable and peaceful African multi-party democracy.  Yooooooo...


Another lesson we must learn from the ongoing pure-nonsense-on-bamboo-stilts, in  today's Ghana, is that we must unbundle all the  media  empires in our country, without exception. No question. Yoooooooo...


The concentration of media, in the hands of a few wealthy individuals - some with dubious backgrounds  -  has enabled a number of media entities in our country,  to become the enablers of tribal-supremacist politicians. Disgraceful. Abominable. Unspeakable. Unpardonable. 



Finally, the question we must all ponder over is:  To safeguard our democracy, should all our country's present-day media-empires be broken up?  With the greatest respect, in one's humble view, they ought to be broken up, without exception. Quickly. No question. No individual must be allowed to own controlling stakes, in more than one media outlet. Full stop. Hmmmm,  Oman Ghana,  eyeasem, oooo. Enti, yeweiye paaaa, enei? Asem kesie, bi, ebaba debi, ankasa, ooooo. Yooooooo...
