Diversity and inclusion are good for Mother Africa - so let's embrace them

The yearning for freedom is innate in all humans, regardless of race, gender and class. Amongst Africa's younger generations, today,  it is creating melting-pot-energy, empowering thriving private-sector start-ups, of the continent's most innovative green entrepreneurs.


Above all, it will also fuel an unstoppable movement for social diversity, and inclusion,  in hidebound societies across sub-Saharan Africa - unleashing  a wave of boundless-energy  bedrocking creativity and innovation  that will power the continent to achieve its destiny as a global power, and force for good, in the world, in the process.


Incidentally, we are witnessing the first stirrings of it in Ghana, as victimised  women become bolder, in outing powerful men who engage in sexual misconduct, on social media platforms. It will eventually  bring down many  such men, and end that evil-menace. No question.


As it happens, that selfsame boldness-of-spirit, is driving the many successful ecommerce start-ups led by female entrepreneurs, booming across our homeland Ghana.   Watch this space. Diversity and inclusion are blessings for Mother Africa, so let's embrace them.

Yabr3 Ghana Mpaninfuo Asuodinfuo

The insousiance of our hard-of-hearing ruling-elites, especially the big-thieves-in-high-places ripping Mother Ghana off, so carelessly, in the face of ever increasing hardship being experienced by so many in Ghana, is beyond belief. 

 

Take the stupidity of not realising that social media, whatever its ills, offers a safety-valve for a thoroughly fed-up population, to vent their anger, virtually  -  instead of launching violent attacks on the percieved-oppressors they feel are responsible for the unbearable cost of living crisis ruining countless families across Ghana, today.

In that light, can someone please tell Ghana's current Attorney General that it is those selfsame social media platforms (which he clearly seeks ways and means to shut down, within Ghana, if possible), that ordinary people will leverage, someday, to fight tomorrow's dictatorships? Haaba. 

 

(Talk about an acute case of  the not-seeing-beyond-flat-nose-syndrome that afflicts so many arrogant African politicians.  Hmmm,  ey3asem piiiiii, oooo...)

It is shortsighted, in the extreme, for our hard-of-hearing  ruling-elites, to continue to think that democracy in Ghana,  cannot ever be overthrown, even if political parties governing our country, mess up big time,  at any given  point in time, and turn the lives of the masses of the Ghanaian populace upside down, making them suffer unbearable hardship,  while a lucky few quaff champagne, copiously, regularly, amidst acute potable  water shortages nationwide, oooo. 

 

The symbolism in that should not be lost on  discerning-folk who love Mother Ghana passionately, oooo, Ghanafuo. Yabr3 y3n mpaninfuo asuodinfuo,  oooo.  Yoooooo...

Ghana's ruling-elites must now put their thinking-caps on

Humble suggestion to Ghana's ruling-elites, who have lost their way, and have now been hoisted on their own collective-petard, because of their infernal arrogance: Please put your thinking-caps on, now, and stop the endless skirt-chasing. Ditto end Ghana's dominant kleptocrats' egregious hold on  Ghanaian society, and on our national economy. Now. Yooooooo...

Our leaders ought to ignore the hypocritical-strictures of the West about Huawei being a security threat (aren't its Western competitors in bed with the intelligence agencies of the West, too, I ask?), and approach that brilliant tech superpower, with an idea it has never thought of: becoming a global power in the telco business, starting with a win-win joint-venture partnership with the government of Ghana.

 

Will it not eventually lead to the transformation of AirtelTigo, into the dominant player in the Ghanaian market, offering a world-class service for the benefit of a much-abused industry subscriber-base, now lumbered with steadily deteriorating networks, resulting from the industry's focus on spending zillions attracting yet more subscribers, instead of improving the quality of their sodden networks?

The question we ought to ponder over as an aspirational African people is: Could the nation's share of the profits from such a win-win joint-venture partnership, with Huawei, not fund profitable and innovative tech start-ups, set up by the brightest and best younger generation Ghanaian entrepreneurs, in exchange for stakes in them - that the government could eventually sell on the Ghana Stock Exchange' (GSE), for handsome profits, anaaaa? And, if helps Huawei to become a global mobile money behemoth, too, would our nation not get some of the worldwide profits accruing to Huawei, too, anaaa? Haaba.

For what it's worth, this is a simple idea, paaaaapabi, from an uneducated old fool (considered a public-enemy because he criticises our hard-of-hearing ruling-elites frequently), for free to Mother Ghana, whom he loves passionately, oooo, Ghanafuo. Our ruling-elites need to put their thinking caps on, ooo. Now. Not tomorrow. Yooooooo...

Why Moringa Must Not Be Allowed To Hijack B-BOVID

"If we don't handle our independence very well, colonisers will come back in the form of investors"

    - Simon Kapwepwe (1922-1980)
 

A pivotal bell-weather investment dispute case, will be heard at the Ghana Arbitration Centre (GAC), in the not too distant future. The brilliant and farsighted founder of B-BOVID, Issa Oueodrago, is battling Moringa, which is claiming to own B-BOVID. The most responsible sections of Ghana's mainstream media ought to take a keen interest in the outcome of that particular arbitration case.

At a time when global climate change is impacting the continent so negatively, nations across Africa could empower sundry demographics that are key players in their rural economies, to bootstrap their way out of the poverty-trap, successfully, through the utilisation,  by the private sector, of Agroforestry funding earmarked for Africa, as a COP26-benefit.

 
Ghana is particularly well-placed to use such funds to empower its rural economy, because of the current government's policies developed to boost the agricultural sector, to enable its best green entrepreneurs create wealth, generate jobs and help increase Ghana's GDP, that way.


A major impediment to the successful transformation of our homeland Ghana, is the unfortunate tendency of so many of our people, to bend over backwards, to help outsiders from Europe, the Americas and Asia, at the expense of local Ghanaian entrepreneurs, who are in competition with such foreigners.


That colonial-slave-mentality,  will most definitely not help us benefit from earmarked COP26 agroforestry funds, now being eyed by canny Western investors, looking to hoover-up such funds - some of whom are even prepared to resort to commercial-skullduggery to achieve the dark-ends they seek in Africa.



A classic example, is Moringa's shabby attempt to hijack the brilliant and farsighted Issa Oueodrago's B-BOVID (using amoral and unethical local end-justifies-the-means lackeys, prepared to resort to illegalities, and law-breaking, to achieve that evil-end for their paymasters), by exploiting that unfortunate colonial-slave-menality, which makes so many Ghanaians bend over backwards, to assist even the most dishonest whites (to the detriment of their fellow Africans battling such rogue foreign investors or competing with them).



In light of all the above, and, based on available gathered-incontrovertible-evidence, investors with such a vile robber-baron management culture (prepared to bankrupt B-BOVID, by imposing a European employee with a debilitating monthly compensation package amounting to €25,000, who is so corrupt he transfers funds from B-BOVID'S bank account into his personal account), regularly deploying such Mafiosi operational-tactics, are, by definition, anything but social impact investors, who must not be allowed to successfully hijack B-BOVID. Full stop. Case closed. Yoooooooo...
