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...
