what will derail Akyem Abuakwa's destiny as a prosperous traditional area with thriving demographics?

As an aspirational and industrious people, in the face of the PR disaster (needlessly frightening away potential investors, now staring at us, as greed-filled and narrow-minded tribal-bigots amongst us, deploy ruthless and murderous gun-toting landguards, to protect illegal sandwinners fronting for them, as they execute a lawless land-grabbing-strategy in the name of Akyem nationalism), what question ought to be exercising our minds across our beloved Akyem Abuakwa, one wonders?


Perhaps the question that fair-minded Akyems ought to ponder over is: What will derail Akyem Abuakwa's destiny as a prosperous traditional area with thriving demographics, anaaa? Whatever be the case, we are serving notice that y3n enma Okyenman ens3i da, oooo. Yooooooo...


That Akyem Abuakwa, is destined to become a prosperous traditional area, in which all demographics thrive and live dignified lives, is beyond doubt, for some amongst us, who also have royal Akyem blood, coursing through our veins.


It is in that light that we want clarity, about salient point, fellow Akyems: That future prosperity, of our beloved Akyem Abuakwa, will most certainly not be brought about, by Akyem Chieftaincy that is hidebound, and remains the last bastion of tribal-supremacists, inhabiting nests of vipers. Never. Period.


On the contrary, the successful transformation of our beloved Akyem Abuakwa, into a prosperous traditional area, in which all demographics live in dignity, and enjoy widespread good-quality-of-life, will be achieved by Chiefs who are creative and innovative societal-problem-solvers.


It is those Akyem Chiefs, who are full of cutting-edge ideas (such as the soft-spoken and generous-hearted Gyasehene of Akyem Juaso), who understand clearly that protecting our priceless forests, via conservation-through-ecotourism initiatives, should bedrock the new green economic-pillar, which will create wealth that remains locally, as well as generate meaningful and fulfilling jobs galore, for our younger generations.

That is why it so vital for all Akyems, who think creatively (and thus know that it is only by harnessing the empowering-energies of melting-pot-societies, which will guarantee and make possible, Akyem Abuakwa's transformation into a prosperous traditional area), to keep hammering on the point that the deployment of a lawless land-grabbing-strategy, in the name of Akyem nationalism, will, as sure as day follows night, derail Akyem Abuakwa's destiny as a prosperous traditional area with thriving demographics, across it.

Are verity, speaking-truth-to-power and principle, on a long vacation, in the world of Ghanaian journalism?

Is it indeed the case that yellow journalism, is the distinguishing prevalent-landmark-feature, in Ghana's mainstream media landscape? The irritation felt by some of those who admire Torgbe Afedi (who at a point in time, used to be the Chairperson of Council of State),  for the creativity, nous and gumption that has propelled him into becoming one of the wealthiest businesspersons, in Ghana, shows clearly that to them,  the short answer to that question, is an obvious yes.

That they  bridle at the fact  that their hero, the deservedly well-respected founder of Strategic African Securities  (SAS), and very successful serial-entrepreneur, Torgbe Afedi (who is also the Paramount Chief of the As,ogli Traditional Area, in Ghana's  Volta Region),  has been unfairly at the receiving end, of relentless-criticism, directed at the  person of their hero, by Paul Adom-Otchere, the controversy-plagued host, of Metro TV's current affairs programme, Good Evening Ghana, is crystal clear. Indeed, it is palpable.

Alas, what escapes those in Ghana, who bemoan the lack of balance, in even some of the most reputable mainstream media houses, and the unfortunate prevalence of  mercenary  secret-agenda-hacks (whose yellow journalism  is bedrocked on wealth-creation-for-self, gone bonkers), is that for as long as the  monetisation of Ghanaian politics continues (and fuels the high-level corruption by big-thieves-in-high-places, which is holding back the transformation of our homeland Ghana, into a prosperous and equitable African society, in which all demographics thrive), unfortunately,  yellow journalism, the shameless handmaiden of off-ledger-funded politics, will continue. Simple.

The bald truth, is that yellow journalism will only wane, and finally end, in Ghana, when a new law is passed by Parliament - when  there is a national consensus, that the Ghanaian nation-state state, ought  to fund the entirerity of the nationwide operations  of  our country's political parties, that is.

Those new public funding laws,  for political parties,  must come with  strict rules, on required-qualifying-criteria, for the formation of such  parties. That is vital. Until that comes to pass, alas, verity, boldly-speaking-truth-to-power and principle, will continue to be on a long vacation, in the murky world of Ghana's thriving  yellow-journalism-sub-sector. Full stop. Case closed. Sarjewah.

The Atewa Forest Reserve must not be sacrifed on alter of corporate greed

President Akufo-Addo needs to get this: the protection and preservation of the Atewa Forest Reserve, by banning all mining in it, is a top-priority national security issue, which might result in abrupt regime-change, if the President fails to declare it a national park, oooo.

We must all  be clear about this: The well-being of millions, and the safety of our Republic, is no joking matter, to be toyed with, by unimaginative and shortsighted politicians, on the make, and on the take. No. No. No.

The Atewa Forest Reserve, a watershed area for three major river systems  (the Birim, the Ayensu and the Densu rivers), which are all sourced for treating and distributing potable water,by the  to over 5 million people, across southern Ghana, is also part of the Atewa Range, designated a Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA). It cannot, and ought not, to be sacrifed, on the alter of unfathomable  corporate greed, without serious nrepercussions, oooo, Ghanafuo. Yooooooo...

The AfDB and Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group must stop Moringa from hijacking B-BOVID from Issa Ouedraogo now

Issa Ouedraogo,  a pioneer Ghanaian green  agrisector social impact entrepreneur,  will soon be launching a conservation-through-ecotourism venture, based on a unique and  change-making agroforestry initiative, of his, which  has been in the making, for nearly 18 years now.

How ironical that the washed-out and clueless racist French nationals running Moringa in Ghana, think they are smarter than a public-spirited, generous-hearted and  innovative Ghanaian farmer, whose life's work they seek to purloin - with the help of selfish greed-filled Ghanaian professionals: who ought to know better.  Ebeiiii.

The question for Ghanaians to ponder over is:  Just how many tree seedlings have Moringa distributed, to help the smallholder oil palm farmer-stakeholders in B--BOVID's value-chain to diversify their income streams and bootstrap their way to financial independence, thus far, even  as we speak? Zilch.

Surely, officials of the AfDB Group, and the Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group, ought to come to Ghana, now, to see things on the ground, at Takoradi, for themselves  - where they will come to realise,  to their chagrin and shame,  what a huge error of judgment they made, in opting to support Moringa - by silently looking on, as they sought to rob B-BOVID, in broad daylight,  from its brilliant and super-creative founder, Issa Ouedraogo. Does silence not mean complicity, in such cases, I ask?

Finally dear reader, the time has now come for the relevant C-Suit compliance-leads, from the  AfDB Group, and the Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group, to do the decent thing, and stop Moringa from hijacking B-BOVID, from its founder and rightful owner,  Issa Ouedraogo. Enough is enough.  Case Closed.    Haaba.

Export. Export. Export. That's the sure path to a prosperous future, underpinned by a strong currency

A quick note sent to a dear friend recently: "Not needed at the moment. Costs a bomb now - over GHc200 to refill. Imagine that. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Massa. The cost of living crisis is a nightmare for nearly all humans, everywhere on the surface of the planet Earth, today. Full stop."


In today's Ghana, local reputable manufacturers of world-class quality products, ditto organically grown agricultural produce, and smart entrepreneurs who are exporters of such made-in-Ghana items, are the lucky private sector players, who will thrive the most. Export. Export. Export. That's the smart path for our private sector to truly become our national economy's engine of growth, and send our GDP, north, stratospherically, pronto.


Incidentally, isn't it amazing that the Ghana Union of Traders' Association (GUTA) - amongst whose fold, are the super-wealthy fatcat-kingping importers, who are major contributors to the free fall of the Ghans cedi, and lack of meaningful jobs for young people across our homeland Ghana - have the nerve to regularly blackmail governments-of-the-day, which they always blame (hypocritically), for the free fall of the Ghana cedI that some now refer to as a junk currency?


Truth be told, as a wise and aspirational African people, it is our foolish nation-wrecking preference for foreign made goods (that have better locally made substitutes), which will always be the root cause of the trade imbalances that make our currency more or less worthless, oooo, Ghanafuo. Export. Export. Export. That's the sure path to a prosperous future, underpinned by a strong currency. Full stop. Case closed.

Ghanaians: Constructive criticism offering alternative creative-solutions is best nation-building path to tread on

That Ghana's economy is in dire straits is not in dispute. However, despite the grim situation Mother Ghana now faces, it is vital, as a wise and aspirational African people, that we never forget the indisputable-fact that we actually have what it takes, to recover from the situation of near-bankruptcy, now plaguing us, and return our beloved country to a path that will lead our homeland Ghana, to eventually become a prosperous and equitable society, in which all demographics live well, within a decade.


No one, who comes to Ghana, from overseas, will fail to notice the many pluses we are blessed with, chief amongst which, is the boundless energy, creativity and positive work ethic of tens of thousands of the world-class middle-class solid-achievers, in all spheres of our national life, who have managed to make a difference for this beautiful and welcoming nation, full of warm-hearted and generous-spirited people.


If we are to harness the nous and gumption that drIves the successes of our nation's world-class solid-achievers, for the transformation of our country into a prosperous and equitable society, then we will have to end the national malaise of endless criticism without proffering creative alternative solutions, when speaking truth to power, on all issues of concern to ordinary people's well-being, across our country.


Le us start off, by remembering that power inevitably corrupts most of those who weild it, and that we must therefor remain eternally vigilant, in ensuring that state-capture for private profits, at society's expense, is kept to the barest minimum (humanly possible), by constantly demanding transparency, and accountability, from those we elect to govern our country, and the senior career public officials, paid well by taxpayers, to advise our elected leaders.


The more responsible sections of Ghana's mainstream media, have an important role in the process of transforming Ghana into a prosperous and equitable society. They must ensure, at all material times, that their platforms are bedrocked on balanced reporting, fairness and pursuit of the common-good - by refusing to allow themselves to serve as platforms for pushing the secret agendas of the powerful individuals benefiting from state-capture profiting private pockets, at society's expense. Above all, they must focus on encouraging their platforms for the public airing abd dissemination of constructive criticism that offers alternative-solutions to policies that don't redound to the benefit of ordinary people across Ghana.


Finally, dear reader, the bald truth we must acknowledge as a wise and aspirational African people, is that there really is no substitute, to constructive criticism proffering alternative creative-soluti when speaking truth to power: it is most definitely the best nation-building path to tread on, for the process of transforming Ghana into a prosperous and equitable society. That, and never-ending hard work, by all demographics in our country.

If we don't replace state-capture leadership with honest servant-leadership, the ticking social time bomb will explode

 “We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.”

                                  — Aesop.


If we don't insist on replacing state-capture leadership with honest servant-leadership we will eventually end up like Sri Lanka. For sure. No democtratic nation can continue to remain peaceful and stable, if the vast majority of its ruling-elites see public office as a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity, to amass great wealth - firm in the dangerous-delusional-belief that such betrayal can continue forever, without any retribution from the masses, ever.


Ghana is a civilised nation, so blessed with natural resources, and a higly intelligent, tolerant, welcoming and hardworking aspirational-population, that it should never be poor. It is scandalous that over six decades after ridding our country of its British occupiers, in 1957, we have now ended up as a debt-distressed nation that might default on interest payments, to creditors, because our country's massive debt mountain has now reached stratospheric heights.


It is totally unacceptable that in the midst of plentiful natural resources, millions still remain marginalised. Meanwhile, a powerful and greedy few, elected to transform society (by successfully lifting base-of-the-pyramid demographics, out of the brutish-hellish-trap of extreme poverty, through the creation of empowering initiatives that enable the poor to bootstrap their own way to financial independence), abuse their positions in egregious fashion. Disgraceful. Monstrous. Unspeakable. Unpardonable. Abominable.


If our criminal justice system is still punishing those who steal pitifully small amounts, in value, of foodstuffs, mostly because they are starving, and without jobs, by jailing them in droves, then, henceforth, it must also begin to investigate, prosecute and jail the big-thieves-in-high-places, and their regime-crony-collaborators, who have pocketed trillions of cedis, in state-capture deal, after state-capture deal, at Mother Ghana's expense. If that doesn't happen, the ticking social-time-bomb, will explode with devastating consequences. Enough is enough, oooo. Yoooooo...

Pass draconian laws to protect IPRs of those submitting innovative project proposals to government - from crooked insider-dealing public officials

There is consensus, globally, that innovation is the key to unlocking transformational-societal-change, which  leads to the prosperity of nations, worldwide.

In light of that, obviously, it   follows, a priori, that  innovation is what will eventually dig Mother Ghana, out of the massive slippery-walled-hole, which Ghana's  greedy big-thieves-in-high-places,  have pushed her into. Hmmm, ey3nsem, piiiiii, oooo,  Ghanafuo.

To  incentivise innovative Ghanaians to continue to submit innovative project proposals, to governments of the day, clearly, as a matter of some urgency, draconian new laws ought to be passed, by Parliament,  to protect the intellectual property rights  (IPRs), of all innovative Ghanaians, who submit project proposals to the public sector, of our national economy.  Full stop. Enough is enough. Haaba.

The theft of the IPRs of creative Ghanaians, by our public officials, who collaborate with  those who stalk the corridors of power specifically for that purpose  (regardless of whichever of the parties that constitute the  NPP/NDC duopoly - which  have had an iron grip, on all aspects of  our national  life  -  throughout the life of the 4th Republic, thus far), has made many, many creative individuals rather wary of submitting innovative and change-making proposals, to governments of the day, unfortunately.

That is why some of us are now calling for draconian new laws to be passed, swiftly, by Parliament, to protect the IPRs, of all those submitting project proposals to governments of the day (from our notorious crooked  insider-dealing public officials). Yabr3 wormu enyinaa, oooo, Ghanafuo. Yoooooo...

Why we must only welcome ethical investors committed to ESG principles in their operations across Ghana

One of the ways Ghana's private sector could make a difference in the living standards of all those they employ, dear reader, is for our system to allow only foreign investors who are committed to ESG principles, in all aspects of their operations, to establish a presence in Ghana. Simple.


It is outrageous that as a result of the greed of the big-thieves-in-high-places (whose unfathomable greed is slowly destroying our nation, and Ghanaian democracy, along with it), employment agencies (invariably owned by regime-crony-tycoons), are contracted to provide workers to foreign investors working in our country - who then proceed to take huge contract sums, for supplying workers, paid peanuts (by the simple ruse of making them work as casual labourers: when in reality they are permanent workers, in all but name). That must cease forthwith, oooo, Ghanafuo. Yooooooo...


An example of the type of callous and unethical foreign investors that Mother Ghana doesn't need, and can definitely do without, is Moringa. Moringa's reps in Ghana are shameless ace-liars, and greed-filled greenwashing-carpetbaggers, from France. Shame on them.  


Genuine and honest social impact investors maintain a company culture bedrocked on strict adherence to ESG principles in all markets they operate in worldwide, oooo, Massa.


For the information of those washed-out French incompetents, the gathered-incontrovertible-evidence of their endless criminality, and serial-falsehoods communicated to Ghanaian officialdom, awaits them, as we move the case back to the law courts - where such matters are adjudicated: not at the Ghana Arbitration Centre (GAC), which quite rightly leaves all issues of corporate criminality, to the law courts to resolve in open court. Simple.


So, watch this space Moringa: see you in court, soon, bloody French racist-sods and  dimwits, who obvioisly think that Blacks are simpletons - but will soon experience the same discomfiture now being experienced by the former Ericsson executives, who are being held personally responsible for the reputational-damaging corruption scandals in their Iraqi operations.

Finally, dear reader, it is at that point that Moringa's cohort of Ghanaian enablers will come to appreciate, why as a wise and aspirational African people, we must only welcome ethical investors committed to ESG principles in all markets they operate in, worldwide, to do business in our homeland Ghana.

How President Akufo-Addo can reset Ghana successfully - now, not tomorrow

Interesting times, indeed, in today's Ghana. Long before it became fashionable (as it now is), some of us wrote and published countless articles,  demanding (yonks ago), that if President Akufo-Addo wanted to leave a legacy that he deserves, then it was vital that he appoints, as ambassadors, Nana Asante Bediatuo, Yaw Osafo Marfo, Ken Ofori-Atta and Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, to go and represent Ghana, abroad, asap.

They will all make excellent envoys for our country. In one's humble view, that would  immediately free the President, of their baleful influence, once and for all. Luckily for the enterprise Ghana,  as we speak,today,  many more voices are being heard across the nation, all of them also asking for those who currently  manage our national economy, to be replaced immediately, by President Akufo-Addo.

We are grateful to God Almighty, for such a small-mercy intervention, paaapa, oooo, are we not, anaaaa, Ghanafuo?In light of all the above, the question a wise  and aspirational African people, like Ghanaians, ought to ponder over is: Can Akoto Ampah, that fine legal mind,  not replace Nana Asante Bediatuo, at the presidency,  as the new Executive Secretary to the President -  with Dr. Thomas Mensah, of NASA-fame, serving his native country, as the new Chief of Staff?

Furthermore, could the brilliant generational-thinker (and  Kasapreko Ghana Limited's founder), Dr. Kwabena Adjei, not replace Yaw Osafo Marfo, as senior presidential adviser? Ditto Dr. Kofi Amoah (Citizen Kofi), replace Ken Ofori-Atta, as our new finance minister, and,  the principled and erudite  Kwabena Adjapong, whom,  at a point in time, once served as the ruling New Patriotic Party's General Secretary (until his removal was engineered by those who envied him, and feared his independence of thought, as well as his  incisive and innovative mind), not also  replace Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, as a selfless, well-meaning and patriotic confidant, of the President's?

Finally, dear reader, at day's end, above all, as a super-competent inner-circle  team around President Akufo-Addo, surely they  could all work together to help the President to reset Ghana, successfully, anaaaa, oooo, Ghanafuo, could they not? Eeiiii, Oman Ghana  - enti y3wieye, paaaa enei?  Asem kesie, bi, ebeba debi, ankasa. Enough is enough,  oooo. Yooooooo...

May Donald Trump be the last totally unfit and undeserving individual to seek the American presidency

No one who has studied the rise to power, of fascist leaders such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, will fail to see the same phenomen at work, today, too, across what is the world's most powerful and prosperous nation, the United States of America.

The tragedy for the world's mightiest ever military power, yet, is that Donald Trump, a cowardly conman who is also an amoral-narcissist and pathological-liar, somehow has a hold on millions of decent-minded U.S. citizens, who, as sure as day follows night, will come to rue ever supporting him, in the fullness of time. No question.

It is in that light, that one makes bold to predict that - once installed in power, courtesy the rigging-machine now being put in place, methodically, across America, by Trump and his enablers, to guarantee a Trump second-coming - immediately  after Trump's capricious tyranny successfully  consolidates its power, he will then set out to destroy all his elite-enablers, one after the other: following which he will focus on terrorising his MAGA base, whom he will start referring to, as losers and deplorable-despicables, as they protest and try to resist being deprived of their constitutionally guaranteed rights.

Above all, just like Hitler and Mussolini, before him, Trump too will come to a dreadful and ignoble end. Never has so an unfit and totally undeserving individual, sought, and won, the presidency of America. May he be the very  last one to ever do so again. Enough really is enough, in his case.

Kibi Goldfields: New Chiefs' palaces great - but empower local youth with alternative livelihood skills courses too to incentivise them to protect forests

 Kibi Goldfields has built a befitting palace for the Odikro of Akyem Juaso. Whoever succeeds the late Barimah Kofi Osei (who had been Akyem Abuakwa's longest serving Chief, when he died in harness, as Akyem Juaso's Odikro), will be the first occupant of that marvellous palace. Bravo to Kibi Goldfields. We the ordinary community members, express our gratitude to that gold mining company.

Yet another stakeholder-benefit that will redound to the benefit of local youth, in the fringe-forest cocoa farming communities of Akyem Juaso,  Akyem Saamang and Osino, would be for Kibi Goldfields to pay for community forest guards, all of whom it must sponsor to attend alternative  livelihood skills development courses (such as snail farming, mushroom farming, the  rearing of giant rabbits and  grasscutters).

By paying the Forest Research Institute (FRI), of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), for example, to provide young people in the three aforementioned fringe-forest communities, with such alternative livelihood skills courses, Kibi  Goldfields, will in effect, be empowering local youth to bootstrap their way out of the brutish-hellish-trap of extreme rural poverty.

The lack of economic opportunities for the younger generations, blights life in  most of Akyem Juaso, Akyem Saamang and Osino, and has led to  the growing incidence of criminality  (which the rampant and egregious forest-illegalities, such as bushcut chainsaw lumber production, and galamsay,  represent), today.

Above all, Kibi Goldfields must move swiftly, to begin a company-sponsored smallholder agroforestry initiative, which (aside from the planting of tree-seedlings to replace trees felled by the bushcut chainsaw lumber producers), will also  enable community industrial hemp plantations to be developed, on parts of its concession's mined-out zones, which must by law be reclaimed,  and returned, to the original owners (reason for that choice being that the industrial hemp will detoxify such mined out areas, naturally).

So, yes, the building of splendid new Chiefs' palaces by  Kibi Goldfields, is great - but empowering local youth with altenative livelihood skills courses,  to bootstrap their way out of the trap of extreme rural poverty, to better futures, is by far the best way to incentivise fringe-forest comunities to protect the remainder of Akyem Abuakwa's forested areas, for future generations.

Minister for Lands and Natural Resources: Take swift action to force the Forestry Commission to halt Akyem Juaso's thriving bushcut lumber production

The time has now come for the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor,  to force the Forestry Commission to take swift action to end Akyem Juaso's thriving illegal bushcut lumber production industry.


The question is: How come that for decades now, the criminal elements in what is a small fringe-forest cocoa-farming community, with only one route connecting it to the towns of Akyem Saamang and Osino, to join the Accra-Kumasi highway at Osino Junction, consistently evacuate bushcut chainsaw lumber that they produce mostly at night (allegedly mainly from the 14-square mile privately owned freehold upland evergreen rainforest property of the P. E. Thompson family), successfully, consignment after consignment, without their ever being arrested, prosecuted and jailed, thus far?


Furthermore, who are the masterminds behind it? Are they untouchable? Or are local Forestry Commission officials benefitting from this egregious gang-rape of a rainforest property that is part of an area in the Atewa Range designated as a Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA)?


Finally, even as we speak, the bushcut chainsaw lumber producers are hard at work in the P. E. Thompson estate's upland evergreen rainforest property, and apparently have consignments ready for market. Hon. Samuel A. Jinapor, please act now - and force the   Forestry Commission to take immediate action to stop this brutal gang-rape of Mother Nature at a time when climate change is impacting rural Ghana so negatively. Haaba.

A quick note to Kofi Boakye-Yiadom - on why there is no place like Ghana on the surface of the planet Earth

One gathers, from bush telegraph sources, that you are contemplating moving to  Rwanda to live.  Sure, it is a well-ordered society now. Question is: What happens when its widely-acclaimed leader's alloted timespan on this plane, finally ends (as it will for all humans presently alive)?

Yes, Ghana may be frustrating in the extreme. And, the nation-wrecking  greed of the big-thieves-in-high-places (who control both our biggest political parties by bankrolling them, and are forever  robbing Mother blind, in broad daylight), might be unequalled in the annals of human history - and, yes, it  has indeed messed up our system, for the rest of Ghanaian society,  unfortunately.  

But, this is nation in which those of us who fear no one, and speak our minds freely to the powers that be (regardless of what our leaders in governments of the day,  threaten us with),  know that if we are careful enough about our personal security, at day's end, we will not be murdered, oooo, favourite nephew.  Can't say that about many nations on the continent of Africa, ooooo.

And, as it happens,  don't  you live like the king-of-hedonism, that  your substantial earnings from your innovative green entrepreneurship, have turned  you into, without a care in the world? That's pretty cool, wai,  Massa.

Furthermore, who in this country, who is an environmental activist, isn't aware of your  penchant for playing as  hard as you work: boggying, partying, chilling endlessly,  and,  cycling across Ghana, winning road race after road race - with  all the  said activities strictly reserved for the hours after imbibing the daily dose of your legendary focused-hardwork, delivering adventure park experiences, for thousands? That is impactful impirical evidence proving that saving nature can be financially rewarding (and gives mental freedom paaaaapabi, to boot, too, wai). Cool.  

Massa, there is no place, quite like Ghana,  anywhere, on the surface of the  planet Earth oooo - despite its many frustrations, wai.  Yoooooo...

How can America become an even greater nation, an unrivalled superpower and unequalled global economic-giant?

For those of us who respect and admire America's democratic system of government, from afar, Donald Trump's unsuitability, for occupying the office of President and Commander-in-Chief, of even the world's worst banana republic, let alone that of the United States of America, is so obvious.  One therfore never ceases to be amazed that so many good and decent American conservatives, actually hero-worship Trump. Incredible. 

The tragedy of it all, is that soon after Trump's second-coming, as President, finally arrives, and his fascist-dictatorship consolidates its power,  tens of million of millions of his most ardent MAGA adherents, will quickly become disillusioned - as his capricious tyranny starts repressing and terrorising ordinary people, after gobbling up Trump's most vociferous elite-enablers, who made his second bid for power a success.

It is at that terrifying juncture,  that most of Trump's acolytes  will wake up to the harsh reality that they exchanged rule by politicians committed to the good governance principle of fidelity to the Constitution, for a precarious and frightening existence, in their own home country - because they made a fatal error of judgement, in opting to freely  hero-worship a gross, capricious,  narcissist and  tyrannical fascist leader,  who thinks he is above the law.

It will be too late then, of course, for them to do anything about their situation, alas.  That is why it is vital that the born-again-Christian demographic, across America, look instead, to the genuine and sincere politicians for whom an America whose politics is bedrocked  on the constitutional principle, of separation of powers, is a patriotic duty and a moral obligation.  

They must all understand clearly, that far from being the saviour who will make America (a nation that is already the world's greatest ever power), great again, Donald Trump is rather a clear and present danger to  American democracy, who must never be allowed to return to office, again, as America's next President, and Commander-in-Chief, of it powerful armed forces,  after President Joe Biden's term ends,  at all costs.

America does not need Trump to lead it ever again - for it  is already a great nation. Full stop. In the final analysis, the United States of America is in reality, the world's  greatest nation ever. 

 

In that light, it is widely recognised by its many admirers, as a wealthy and prosperous country, which only needs to improve its system  -  in order to make it a more equitable and diverse society, able to harness the energies, gifts and talents, of a significant proportion of its total population, who currently face systemic-prejudice on account of their skin-hue: and thereby become an even greater nation, which is an unrivalled superpower, as well as an unequalled global economic-giant. Case closed. Cool.

The world ought to commend China's wise leaders for not escalating the stand off over Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit beyond bellicose rhetoric

Many around the world, heaved a sigh of relief, that the tension that preceded the Taiwan visit by House Speaker,  Nancy Pelosi (now safely out of Taiwan and headed for Japan her next stop in her  trip to the Asia Pacific region),  was not escalated beyond bellicose-rhetoric.



Clearly,  China's ever-wise and mature leaders (who have seen and obviously  learnt lessons,   from the disaster wrought by modern wars: in the example of the foolish and ill-judged invasion of Ukrainian territory, by the shortsighted and narrow minded ruthless-tyrannical-kleptocrats, who currently lead Russia), merely wanted to try it on, so to speak, and had all along decided to refrain from attacking Taiwan.

The West ought to be equally wise, and super-intelligent, about not doing anything that will result in the destabilisation of  a huge and important power, on which virtually the whole world depends on, for all kinds of products, like China. Chaos in China will be disastrous for the smooth running of global supply chains, across sundry industries, in the extreme.

In the long run,  democracy will triumph over autocracy,  for the simple reason that regardless of race, the yearning for individual freedom,  and life in free societies bedrocked on the rule of law,  not  on the whims and caprices of mentally unstable despots, of Putin's ilk, beats in the hearts of all humans (and is wired into human DNA), worldwide. In the meantime,  nothing must done by the West that will result in widespread  civil strife in a China in which law and order breaks down (perish the thought).

Whatever its sins, the Chinese Communist Party deserves the respect of the world, for lifting tens of millions out of extreme poverty,  and propelling their nation into a mighty industrial power, which acts as an engine for global growth.

Perhaps, in the final analysis, eventually, China will make Taiwan, part of new federal state,  where those in the mainland who don't like to live in a country run by communists, can go to live permanently. Above all, the whole world ought to commend China's leaders for their wisdom in opting not to escalate the stand off, with the U.S., over Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit, beyond their  bellicose rhetoric. Brilliant strategy.  Cool.
