Food for thought for ESG-believers-worldwide

Dear critical-reader, do please ponder over this: Why  are Moringa - those incompetent,  racist-greenwashing-carpetbaggers, from France - fighting an orphan-made-good, from the bountiful and still very beautiful Western Region,  of Ghana, Issa Ouedraogo (who chose to invest nearly US $1 million of his own hard-earned savings, put aside while working abroad, in his native Ghana, in a very, very successful organic agrisector social impact business, B-BOVID, with an economically-empowered oil palm smallholder farmer-stakeholder value chain)?  

 

Interestingly, Moringa, happen to be  backed with investment funds, provided by  an entity, which is owned by the wealthiest family, on the surface of the planet Earth, in the shape of  Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group, a Rothschild family concern.
 

Gathered-incontrovertible-evidence, in one's possession, offer evidential proof beyond all doubt, that Moringa are desperately trying to purloin the brilliant Issa's B-BOVID, by scandalous-subterfuge, through  serial-falsehoods, for example,  in its formal  communications with  Ghanaian officialdom, and, worst of all, by the egregious-manipulation of Ghana's byzantine system's criminal justice institutions. Amazing. Unpardonable. Abominable. Unspeakable.

 

Sadly, Moringa are being aided, and abetted, in that   shameful enterprise,  by greed-filled local professional-enablers, such as the well-connected and very, very  influential Ace Ankomahs, who, alas, only think and dream about sending their personal net worth, to stratospheric heights, when it comes to dealing with the world's wealthiest families, such as the Rothschilds. Hmmm, ey3nsem, piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo.

The question, and food for thought, for ESG-believers-worldwide to ponder over is: Surely, genuine social impact investors ensure that good governance principles, especially a solid commitment, to the common-good-concept, of duty-of-care, bedrocks their operations, globally, no matter how corrupt the systems of the societies in which they partner local entrepreneurs are? Hmmm, eyeasem, oooo: Enti Oman Ghana y3wieye paaaa enei? Asem kesie bi ebeba debi ankasa oooo. Yooooooo...

Issa Ouedraogo: With the exception of Hon. Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu MP (MADINA Constituency), do not trust any lawyer in today's Ghana, oooo

Yewura Issa Ouedraogo, I am praying (ceaselessly), that you will not listen to those recommending, in effect, that you fold your hands in your lap, and  lie prostrate, to allow those ruthless  French crooks, running Moringa, in Ghana, to exploit our byzantine system's criminal justice institutions, to purloin your life's work,  and, legacy, from you, ooooo. Yoooooooo...

That voice-recording, which you played to me, earlier today, is a classic example of the legal fraternity's equivalent, of the hand-signalling, of Masonic Orders, oooo, Massa:

It is totally  incomprehensible, to outsider-non-members, but perfectly clear to well-connected-insiders, wai. Obviously, you are being sold down the river, so to speak - being led, willingly, by the noose, into the Kweku-Ananse-web-of-deceit, being spun by the Ace Ankomahs for Moringa

Massa, are they not the selfsame expensive-to-acquire professional-enablers, who have benefited so mightily (over the years till date), from the deliberately-complex-insider-dealings of today's big-thieves-in-high-places - who now control our system, in ruthless fashion: and are  busy reaping zillions from where they have not sown?

Ask yourself who are those designing the packaged-legal-frameworks, to hide the off-ledger lobbying-zillions, being spent by those importing toxic agricultural inputs, for example, into  our country, to lobby our MPs,  political parties  (across the spectrum),   as well as to keep their Jubilee-House-puppets' well-feathered-nests, well-laddered, with ultra-right wing-and-prayer-easy-pickings. Haaba.

With the greatest respect, at this stage,  the only lawyer you must trust (who represents clients in disputes being adjudicated in our byzantine system's criminal justice institutions) is Lawyer Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu, MP (MADINA Constituency). Full stop.

Above all, it is only in the US system, too, that you will soundly defeat Moringa, wai. Luckily, the covert-stealth-powers, and baleful influence,  of the acursed Ace Ankomahs, do not extend there, koraaa (thank goodness! ), wai, Massa. Massa, do not trust any lawyer in the Ghana of today, oooo. Case closed. Yoooooooo...

A quick note to Daprof Herbal Clinic founder Dr. Dennis: Kweku Frimpong 3di asem kesiyi3 bi abaaa

You are a wonderful and diligent scientist, aampa,  oooo, Your Imperial Majesty. I will go back to the brilliant and humble young medical doctor, who examined me, at the relatively well-resourced St. Gregory Catholic Hospital, in the Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, with the results of my last medical check-up, at your world-class herbal medicine research centre's clinical branch at Nima, and show the results to him, to compare to the one he ordered for me yesterday.

I was incredulous when he told me there was a trace of typhoid in my urine sample. It is virtually in epidemic proportions in Gomoa Buduburam and its environs. Now I know that it wasn't that my life, in the twilight of my alloted time on this plane, isn't ebbing away slowly. Ditto that I must stop being the hard-man whom no illness can stop from  daily-extreme-physical-labour. What a relief. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo...

The culprit must be the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), which allows incredibly dirty water to flow through its distribution pipeline network here, on a regular basis, and has the audacity to charge for it,  too, on top of that unjustifiable,  unpardonable and egregious public-health-threat.

Your Imperial Majesty,  it is a totally unacceptable example, of the lack of corporate duty-of-care, which arises from the plague of absence-of-professional-pride, now slowly destroying virtually all our state institutions, fili-fili, waa, waa, waa. Eiiii, Oman Ghana - enti y3wieye paaaa enei?

They will pay for it, for sure: We will arise against them, in a coordinated social media campaign,damming them, for what is a clear-cut  crime-against-humanity case  -  for their egregious-criminal-negligence: evidenced by the regular flushed-filth flowing through the GWCL's distribution pipeline network, here, which it then shamelessly charges a hapless cowed-populace, reeling from an inflationary economic climate,  and its resultant cost-of-living crisis. Your Imperial Majesty:  Kweku Frimpong edi asem kesiy3 bi, aba, ooooo. Yoooooooo...

The Intercept: Peter Thiel’s blueprint to retaliate against journalists

Peter Thiel’s blueprint to retaliate against journalists

27 Sept at 21:43

Who will be the next billionaire that sues a media outlet out of existence?

After the website Gawker published a series of articles critical of Silicon Valley billionaire and right-wing megadonor Peter Thiel, he began funding a series of lawsuits aimed at shutting them down. He ultimately spent a total of $10 million — and in 2016, the website, unable to pay the verdict against them, shut down.

This episode wasn’t an isolated incident but a blueprint for how deep-pocketed individuals and corporations can retaliate against journalists.

And sadly, The Intercept isn’t immune: Last year, we were sued by a billionaire defense contractor claiming defamation.

Our legal defense in that case alone has cost $200,000. We stand by our reporting, but what’s at stake in these lawsuits is much deeper: the freedom of the press to investigate the wealthiest and most powerful interests in the world.

But The Intercept’s reporters have never shied away from an important story. Our legal team has been called upon time and again to defend our journalism, fight for the release of public records, and more. We are scrupulous about getting the facts right, and we refuse to be intimidated or silenced.

As The Intercept faces rising legal costs, will you become a member today and make sure no one, no matter how wealthy, can ever bully us away from an important investigation?

Since Thiel began his campaign against Gawker, the wealthy and powerful have only become more aggressive in their efforts to silence the press through litigation.

Mother Jones fought off a defamation lawsuit from a billionaire Republican donor after reporting on his company’s super PAC contributions and his local political activities. The court ruled in favor of Mother Jones on all counts — but only after two years and millions in legal fees, costs that could have crushed a smaller publication.

Fox News heir Lachlan Murdoch is currently suing a small Australian news site for describing the Murdoch family as “unindicted co-conspirators” in the January 6 insurrection.

He’s using that country’s lack of free speech protections to punish journalists while Fox defends its own hosts’ lies on First Amendment grounds in America.

And last year, Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch said the court should hear a challenge to the landmark free speech precedent that sets a high bar for libel lawsuits. Without that protection, countless important stories might never see the light of day.

The Intercept exists to expose injustice and take on the powerful — no matter what they throw at us.

But our opponents have the time and resources to fight to the last drop, from our ongoing defamation case to the grueling public records litigation we rely on to bring corporate and government secrets to light.

Meanwhile, the donations we rely on to fund our nonprofit journalism have declined this summer.

Will you make a donation today to support The Intercept’s journalists and legal team?

If we don't kill high-level corruption, it will kill Ghanaian democracy, as sure as day follows night

Following the recent downpours,  conditions in the Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, sanitation-wise, are egregiously-atrocious.  I was outraged to see how a fruit seller (who keeps me supplied with fruit at affordable prices, regularly), Madam Georgina Ayeh,  was (off-water-grid) dish-washing, for her single-parent brood.

No demographic in our well-endowed aspirational African society,  should be forced to exist in such conditions. No. No. No. Case closed.  Haaba.

Ghana's greed-filled,  narrow-minded and hard-of-hearing ruling-elites, must change their evil ways, ooooo, Ghanafuo. Yoooooo...

There is no question  that the  rampant high-level corruption being engaged in by the big-thieves-in-high-places, is robbing Mother Ghana, blind, and milking her dry - such that she is unable to ensure the welfare of ordinary people: because grand-larceny, on a scale never seen before in human history, is denying our nation  the wherewithal needed  to ensure the creation of a fair and all-inclusive society.

 Ghanafuo, let us not delude ourselves, oooo: We are actually sitting on a metaphorical-social-time-bomb, which could explode suddenly, without warning.

The question to ponder over is: If today we have all the digital-tools, needed to create a prosperous, equitable and modern  African society, why then do we not move out of the shadow of conventional economic thinking, swiftly?


Will that not  make it possible,  for example, to provide digital bank accounts, at the Bank of Ghana  (BoG), for all Ghanaians citizens who elect for it, to be given DGHC300,000 to build their own family homes, repayable over 50 years, with the monthly rent of DGHC100,  counting as instalment payments?

Ditto  open digital business bank accounts at the BoG, for all Ghanaian citizens, who opt for it, to be given DGHc100, 000, repayable over 50 years, with monthly interest payments of DGHc25.00, from the end of a ten-year moratorium-timeframe? Haaba.

 
Will such imaginative policies not provide a regular source of revenue for the Ghanaian nation-state, to fund much-needed  modernisation and expansion of infrastructure nationwide, I ask, dear reader?

Given the mess our debt--burdened national economy is in, even as we speak, one wonders what disaster could possibly befall Mother Ghana, if such a creative approach to mass-empowerment, which  delivers individual self-bootstrapping-prosperity, for all marginalised demographics, in our homeland Ghana? Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo: If we do not kill endemic high-level corruption, it will kill Ghanaian democracy, as sure as day follows night. Yoooooo...

A quick note to the Nanfuri-era intelligence officer: Who lives with his two delightful young daughters on the opposite side of the tracks from me

Greetings  Opanin,

 As for your workhorse Mercedes-Benz station wagon, paaaa, diy3, it's a wonder that typifies German engineering, oooo.  It will go on forever. But I digress.

Massa, for an ace intelligence officer (during the era of Peter Nanfuri), your lack of curiosity is shocking, and beyond belief, oooo.  Ebeiiiii. Why, is the brand Kofi Thompson so toxic a digital-influencer-brand-name, that merely coming round to see one, as requested by moi, might tar you with the same brush,  anaaaa? Haaba.

Massa, these cost-of-living crisis-ridden days, one is seeing things, oooo: As it happens,  that fruit-and-nut-case, the all-seeing, and all-conquering self-confessed  regime-liar-Prophet-1, Bishop Owusu-Bempah, isn't the only one who sees spiritual-realm-visions,  in our homeland Ghana,   wai:

It so happens that of late, moi, Olu Grandpa Thompson, too, has been having spiritual-realm-visions, of his marvellous  late Sewhi-native wife, Madam Christiana Amihere  -  whose favourite sofa was made pasa-pasa-pasaaa, some time ago: by those confounded forever-barking guard-dogs, of yours.

Massa, as you are well aware, although it was a rather  grave matter  -  which one then  immediately informed your lovely eldest delectable-daughter, about, only moments after catching one of your basabasa-canine-companions  desecrating the said wifey-sofa, on our front porch - one let it pass, simply because one happens to love dogs  (and all the other living creatures that we humans share this endangered common-habitat, the planet Earth, with).

Well, Opanin, the latest message from Asamaando, that one received from one's late wife, in the last few Anansekrom-spiritual-real -visions, is that you must compensate her for the damage to her precious sofa, by your basa-basa-basaaa forever-barking canine companions, oooo, Massa.

Apparently (according to the last spiritual-realm-vision from her, from Asamaando), your doggy pals are either expecting puppies, or will soon have puppies,  ooooo, Opanin. Wow. Well, Massa,  just select two for moi, wai, to pacify my beloved Sewhi-native late wife, Christiana Amihere, with,  so that her soul finally rests in peace. Cool.

Why Moringa must be digitally-cancelled: For its many egregious ESG infractions in trying to hijack B-BOVID from its founder Issa Ouedraogo

Dear concerned-critical-reader,  

If you actually care about organic farming in Ghana, by our nation's most successful local agrisector social impact entrepreneurs, such as the Issa Ouedraogos, and value their potential contribution to empowering  our nation to fully  develop its undoubted capacity, seefor ensuring food security for all its people, then (based on available gathered-incontrovertible-evidence of its fraudulent serial-falsehoods communicated to Ghanaian officialdom  by Moringa), do PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, help moi to get  Moringa digitally canceled, asap, wai. Cool.

Those Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group-funded, and African Development Bank Group-backed, acursed washed-out racist French nationals, currently  running what is undoubtedly the planet Earth's corporate greenwashing carpetbagger-kingpins, Moringa, must be prevented,  at all costs,  from ruthlessly  exploiting Ghana's byzantine system's criminal  justice institutions (with the assistance of expensive-to-acquire professional-enablers, such as the Ace Ankomahs, and their cohort of court-appointed Reciever/Deceivers), to hijack Issa Ouedraogo's B-BOVID, in broad daylight,   ooooo, Ghanafuo. Enough, really is enough, oooo, Ghanafuo (and many thanks in advance for all who support moi, in this noble cause, by the way!). Yooooooo...

Ghana's Chief Justice: 3yaa-tu-okra-3na-momoni-nyinaa-fu, wai

If you believe that despite its many failings, democracy is still a much, much  better system of government, than any other governance-system known to fickle-humans, then the concerns of Ghana's current  Chief Justice, about how dangerous undermining public confidence in the judiciary, is, is spot on. Definitely. Cool.

Sadly, however, it seems to have escaped the Chief Justice, that the worst exemplifiyers of that ilk, happen to be the regime-insider-cronies, who openly boast that they have put in place, at the helms of all our system's key institutions  (including the judiciary, for example), their ideological-soul-mates, who will more or less ensure that they can continue to dominate our homeland Ghana, even when out of power, and do so for at least the next 30 years. Sickening. Treasonable.  Abominable.  Unpardonable.

The so-called  Danquah Institute was the source of that astonishing-idiocy, dear reader. Eiiiii, Oman Ghana: enti y3wieye paaaa enei? Asem kesie bi ebeba debi ankasa oooo. Yoooooo...

For those who aren't au fait with the raison d'etre of the Danquah Institute, it is the vehicle for the plagiarised-ideas of the Western world's ultra right-wing ideologues, pushed in Ghana, as the clever-ideas of the narcissistic, too-clever-by-half Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, who is apparently a key adviser to President Akufo-Addo (any wonder that our nation is in such a shambolic state?).

Hopefully, the Chief Justice will do some straight tu-okra-3na-momoni-nyinaa-fu, talking, to the  genius-folk at the Danquah Institute, whose revisionist-historical-lies seek to brainwash our younger generations into believing that Dr. J. B. Danquah was the one-man-thousand-creator-in-chief, of the enterprise Ghana (yet, truth be told, Dr.  J.  B. Danquah  was a known well-paid-agent, of Western intelligence agencies, who sought the physical elimination of President Nkrumah to enable him eventually take over Ghana,  as it's pro-Western sell-out-puppet-in-chief). Hmmm,  eyeasem, oooo...

The fact of the matter,  which is being hidden from our younger generations, is that Dr. J. B. Danquah & Co's vision of the post-independence nation-state, meant to replace the departing British occupiers of the territorial landmass of the Gold Coast colony, was a federal state, made up of the pre-colonial era's tribal Chiefdoms, which was roundly rejected by ordinary Ghanaians, in the elections of 1951, 1954 and 1956. Wise, paaaa, as always, the aspirational African people of Nkrumah's Ghana. Cool.

Furthermore, dear reader, it was Nkrumah's vision of a united unitary African state (which would be a meritocracy, in which any citizen could rise to the top of society, regardless of their background, and in which there would be universal adult suffrage), which resonated with the masses - who voted overwhelmingly, to opt for that Nkrumahist future.  Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo.

 
Finally, Ghanafuo, in light of all the above, one's humble-considered-advice for Ghana's Chief Justice is: Over to you, Joe Lartey - 
 3yaa-tu-okra-3na-momoni-nyinaa-fu, wai. Case closed. Enough, really is enough, ooooo, Opanin. Yooooooo...

A quick note to Issa Ouedraogo: On why he will eventually defeat Moringa and its legal team in the U.S

My dear Issa,

Relax, wai, Massa: For an uneducated old fool such as moi, nothing is more exciting than defeating the canny Ace Ankomahs of the expensive-to-acquire cohort in our criminal justice system.  And, we will beat them, well-well, to their utter astonishment - despite all the ongoing remote-control-machinations, being so shamelessly deployed to enable those washed-out French  racist-sods, to steal B-BOVID, your life's work,  from you. Cool.

Massa, it is very, very simple,  really. The marvellous thing about battling the world's arrogant and stupid white racists, when dealing with peoples-of-colour, is that, they, by definition, always miscalculate, and become over-confident - because they think the Black race are all unintelligent dim-witted morons. Let them dream on, the fools. Cool.

We shall force them to tell the judge precisely where the investment funds  supposedly invested in B-BOVID, to acquire that unique and pioneering social-impact agrisector business,  from you, came from.

Massa, Agroforestry Technical Technical Assistance Facility funds, meant for green charitable causes in Africa,  can never be parleyed into share-acqiusitions,  ooooo. Hmmm,  ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo...

Furthermore,  whatever the Ace Ankomahs  do in Ghana, we are eventually  heading for a legal destination where they will face  U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,  and the U.S.Commerce Department officials, for whom greenwashing in emergent economies  (especially those that are democracies, that need growth sustained green growth, to provide employment for their younger generations, if they are to remain peaceful and politically stable countries), is a serious crime. Who say man no dey,  Massa? Man dey paapabi, wai.

It is at that critical-stage that Moringa and the Ace Ankomahs, will quake in their super-expensive designer-boots. Lol.

You will then find, to your delight,  that the deafening silence of the C-Suit  compliance-leads of the Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group, and that of the African Development Development Bank Group  (AfDB), will also  suddenly end, and  those well-paid  complacent-sods, will wake up with a jolt, from their deep-slumber: and they will then finally  read the riot-act, to those racist Moringa French crooks: who have miscalculated badly, in seeking to rob you in broad daylight.

Massa, in all this, you weren't ever foolish, oooo. Not at all: Both Moringa and the Ace Ankomahs owed you a duty-of-care, from day one - but did not  care, a fig, about that, because of their infernal-arrogance.  

Now, they are about to be hoisted on their own petard: They made a huge error of judgement, in not asking you to get a lawyer, to advise you, in the initial negotiations, and subsequently.

Their ruthlessness in making B-BOVID pay for the due diligence, which they conducted on B-BOVID, exclusively for their own benefit, was the first red-flag-alert, in this very, very interesting greenwashing  bell-weather-case. Now, they are about to pay dearly, for that grave error of judgement, Massa. Full stop. Case closed.  Sods. Cool.

AfDB Group: Strip Moringa of its stewardship of earmarked agroforestry funds for Africa now, not tomorrow

Never has the need for ensuring food security in Africa, been greater, than now - as the disruption to global supply lines for the distribution of wheat and fertilisers, caused by Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, has shown so starkly.

That is why Africa's most successful and innovative agripreneurs (using the social impact business model) ought to be directly empowered, by leveraging grants, from the African Development Bank Group (AfDB ).

It is for that reason that one calls for the AFDB Group to immediately strip the Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group, backed, Moringa, of its stewardship of earmarked agroforestry funds for Africa. Now. Not tomorrow. It is simply not fit for that purpose. Full stop. Case closed. Haaba.

Not only have those greenwashing washed-out French rogues-extraordinaire, exploited our byzantine system, to enable them stealth-grab B-BOVID from its brilliant, orphan-made-good founder, Issa Ouedraogo, but they have also failed, egregiously, in spectacular fashion, to distribute even a single tree seedling, to any of B-BOVID's value-chain's oil palm smallholder farmer-stakeholders, to enable them diversify their income streams, and bootstrap their way to financial independence, even as we speak. Shameful. Outrageous. Unconscionable. Unpardonable.

Genuine social impact investors operate the same high ESG standards, with a management-ethos bedrocked on ethical behaviour,  wherever in the world they operate, including even nations with endemic high-level corruption and byzantine systems.

Yet, gathered-incontrovertible-evidence of Moringa’s chicanery (including serial-falsehoods communicated to Ghanaian officialdom), available to one,  show clearly that far from being genuine social impact investors, the Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group funded Moringa, is a super-ruthless and unethical foreign investor, whose management ought to be prosecuted, individually (just like Ericsson's corrupt executives in Iraq were), for their many crimes against Issa Ouedraogo, and B-BOVID, which they are now busy milking dry, by dissipating its finances (recently purchasing brand new vehicles for the comfort of management, for example). Typical greed-filled wastrels. Enough really is enough now.

In light of all the above, the time has finally come for the AfDB Group, to move swiftly, to strip Moringa of its stewardship of earmarked agroforestry funds for Africa. Today. Not tomorrow. Full stop. Moringa is not fit for that purpose, in the slightest. Case closed. Haaba.

Deploying soldiers to brutalise civilians prostitutes the honour of the noble profession of arms

 To whom it might concern: Earlier today, I was contacted  by this WhatsApp number: +233 24 973 4444. Hopefully, they are a genuine local indigenous-peoples  advocacy group,  in the Songhor Lagoon traditional area. One's cool with authenticity in such matters. Always. Cool.

However, on the other hand,  they might also be a front for the ruthless state-capture wheeler-dealer-networks, now deploying our security agencies - to enable them oppress the indigenous Ga Dangbes of the Songhor Lagoon traditional saltwinning communities, protesting against the outrageous land-grabbing-strategy, dressed as a private sector  investment agreement, which   deprives them of their major source of income: saltwinning in the Songhor Lagoon area.

 In that case, one boldly says to them: Shame on you -  you greed-filled amoral-cowards, who worship Mammon, so. Fools.

The question a wise and aspirational African people, ought to ponder over in this sensitive  matter is:  Are these greed-filled tycoons not aware that in handing such a deplorable task to our military, to execute (hounding and brutally assaulting innocent indigenous-saltwinning-peoples of the Songhor Lagoon traditional area), they are actually prostituting the honour of the noble  profession of arms,  anaaaa? Yoooooo...

In light of all the above  one makes  bold to  predict, to Ghana's powerful big-thieves-in-high-places, that one fine day, those selfsame
men and women of the Ghana Armed Forces, and the Ghana Police Service, will turn on them, too, oooo. Hmmm, Oman Ghana - enti y3wieye paaaa enei? Asem kesie bi, ebeba debi ankasa, oooo. Yoooooo. Enough is enough.  

Our hard-of-hearing ruling-elites must understand clearly that deploying soldiers to brutalise civilians  prostitutes the honour of the noble profession of arms - and that the International Criminal Court  (ICC) considers that a crime against humanity, oooo. Yoooooooo...

A quick note to a very, very awkward genuis-inventor friend

Ohooo, wu paaaa. ahhhh, adjawajo. Sarjewah. Ebeiiii. Culture? Culture? Culture? Wow. Massa, please don't talk to me about the cognitive-straightjacket preventing a superstition-riddled continent from reaching its full potential, wai. Hmmm, eyeasem, oooo...

What, pray, dear friend, are mere words, when we are fast-friends trying hard  to get another very, very difficult friend (whose genius we all admire tremendously, and who  will soon  probably become the toast of humanity - for bringing limitless power at precisely the moment it is desperately needed by democracies facing economic meltdown), from being petty? Haaba.

Massa, do you not see the difficulties inflationary pressures are wreaking worldwide,  as a result of sky-rocketing values in the oil sector, resulting from evil Putin's blackmailing?

That  murderous-tyrannical-thief, is  ruining Russia, a great nation, which ought to be a free society and a force for good, by treating it as a personal fiefdom. Has that moron not weaponised gas and oil supplies to Europe,  anaaa? Get real.

And, has that not made your unique emission-free off-grid invention, a much welcomed  and  truly affordable holy-grail-solution,  for freeing the free world (and the rest of humanity) from the iron grip of today's world's  mad-cap-fascist-leaders, like Putin? Think, wai. Haaba.

You also speak about childhood upbringing. Hmmm, eyeasem, oooo: Genius, alas, in my case, as a result of my precociousness, my wide reading as a young  boy, led to my developing genuine compassion, for others in trouble  -  those who desperately need a friend in need, at their hour-of-need:  and thus learnt  never to hold anything against another human being. Simple.

Luckily, too, I am also blessed to have developed into a bad-tempered,  semi-literate fool, totally  devoid of ego (a very, very dangerous ruinious-evil), for whom nothing, not  even murder, cannot occassionally be forgiven, when all circumstances of particular individual cases, are taken into consideration. I thank God Almighty, every day, for that singular gift. Hmmm, eyeasem, oooo..

Massa, we are all mostly-sinful humans, who are just  prisoners of our individual experiences, such as they are,  oooo - not sodden Paragons, wai. So stop acting like some little-person, with a debilitating-giant-chip on his shoulders - when in reality,  you are most probably one of the greatest inventors that ever lived: though yet to be discoverd by humankind.

Finally, always do remember that for me, helping you bring your power sector holy-grail-invention to market - even without personally benefitting from it financially - and even putting my  own (personal and professional)  reputation on the line, in that quest,  in countless published articles, has been the driving-force-motivation for me. I will continue to speak plainly to you,  even at the risk of losing my friendship with you -  if that's the most effective way to get you to remember that you are a  great man and peerless-inventor without equal. Full stop. Case closed.

Finally, for your information,  cantankerous Kofi Thompson had been ruffling feathers of the  highest-and-mightiest of people, with his plan speaking, since childhood, wai.  Get it? So, let's do something more productive: do calculate the exact date Slippery Oil Patience was given the  three-month deadline, and when that deadline ends, wai, Massa. Cool.

A quick note to the indigenous Ga Dangbes of the Songhor Lagoon traditional saltwinning communities

Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo,  Ghanafuo. One shall never understand, dear critical-reader,  why a man apparently so intelligent, as Ghana Cedi trillionaire, Nene McDan  1,  still fails to comprehend that the political power that emboldens him, so, now  (and has also emboldened, over the decades, sundry regime-crony-tycoons), is actually fleeting in length.

 

The question to ponder over is: Why do the McDans in our homeland Ghana, not comprehend,  that when our iniquitous system is suddenly up-ended, by the explosion of the ticking-social-time-bomb, we all sit on, so precariously, he, and the other state-capture wheeler-dealer  big-thieves-in-high-places (who are now reaping where they did not sow), will perish: along with the rest of us mere mortals. Hmmm, Oman Ghana -  enti y3wieye paaaa, eniiiiyi3? Asem kesie bi ebeba debi, ankasa, ooooo. Yoooooooo...


Furthermore, in any case, at least for now, all that one can do, is to  pray unceasingly, that in the fullness of time, all the indigenous-peoples of the Songhor Lagoon traditional saltwinning villages, will be accorded the full rights, spelt out under the UN Human Rights Conventions,  as they apply to indigenous-peoples worldwide. Enough is really,  enough, now, oooo.  Yooooooo...

It is thus in that light, that one urges the Ga Dangbe youth associations, in all the villages in the Songhor Lagoon traditional saltwinning communities, to take heart. Despite the seemingly perpetual nature, of the metaphorical-darkness they now live in, they will see the dawn of a bright new day, soon, as sure as day always follows night, in Africa. Insha Allah. Cool.

A quick note to my Malawian online kindred-spirit, Nelson Moyo

Yes, Nelson, the cost-of-living crisis, is a continent-wide issue, ooooo, ma danfu papaaabi. And, it requires the creativity of truly-exceptional original-thinkers, really - if we are to overcome that existential-challenge: now facing all democracies across Africa.


Take the issue of bailouts that have disappeared into the financial equivalent of blackholes - the very deep pockets of Africa's domineering and super-ruthless big-thieves-in-high-places. Yet, the solution to such grand-larceny, isn't rocket science, ooooo, Yewura Nelson.


Although one has virtually no formal education, and is therefore an unreedemable-ignoramus, alas, one has often wondered why  members of Africa's ruling-elites, don't ever think of stepping out of the shadow of conventional economic thinking.


The question to ponder over is: Why do those hard-of-hearing geniuses, not see Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDGs), for what they truly are: the pandemic-era's best and most effective financial instrument, for the direct-empowerment of the continent's vulnerable base-of-the-pyramid demographics? Hmmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Nelson.


Believe you me, dear kindred-spirit, we would definitely see an exponential increase, in the abilities of all Africa's vulnerable goups, and individuals, to swiftly bootstrap their own way, creatively, and successfully, out of the brutish-hellish-trap, of extreme poverty. Simple.


Would that, dear online friend of longstanding, not make for a happy continent, and, above all, finally gain the respect of even the most ignorant , hardened and racist-narrow-minded, non-Black populations, worldwide, anaaa, I ask? Haaba. Elite-creative-thinking is what will make the real difference for Mother Africa, ooooo, Yewura Nelson. Absolutely. No question. Case closed. Cool.

Even citizens of the world's worst Trumpist-shithole-nations can see that he wants to establish a Fascist dictatorship in America

Even the citizens of the world's worst banana republics, will tell you, dear reader, from experience, that former President Donald  Trump fails the ultimate-requirement for good-leadership: CHARACTER. Yet, MAGA Republicans continue to hero-worship him. Puzzling. Incredible. Amazing. 

That is why there is such beffudlement that a great and powerful democracy (full of well-off,  intelligent and hardworking citizens), should be beholden to a conman and pathological-liar, who clearly wants to lead  America's first Facist-dictatorship,   amongst the hapless citizens of the world's cohort of banana republics, in Trumpist-shithole-nations across all the seven continent that make up the landmass of our common home,  our endangered habit, the fragile biosphere that makes life possible for all living creatures great and small (which, sadly humans are busy  making uninhabitable - guaranteeing their eventual extinction  -  forgetting that on the scale of geological-time, the planet Earth will recover, and thrive again, in a few million years: barring its being smashed into smithereens by an object from outer space,  that is). Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, fellow children of the universe,  and world-citizens-with-conscience.

Finally, in all this, dear reader, the question to ponder over is: Why can't MAGA Republicans see that Trump (who was more or less  a dedicated Russian agent in the Oval Office,  during his presidency),  actually wants to establish a fascist-dictatorship, in America, with him as the new Hitler, whose every word is the law, and is himself above the law  -  when even the citizens of the world's worst Trumpist-shithole-nations, can all see that Donald Trump, the worst ever American President,  wants to establish a Fascist-dictatorship in America? Pity.

All those participating in the gang-rape of Mother Ghana will be held to account in the fullness of time

"What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind." 

             - William Shakespeare

Sums up the Ghana-predicament perfectly, does it not, old chap? No? We have greed-filled, too-clever-by-half big-thieves-in-high-places, destroying our nation with:


1) Their infernal arrogance, and stupid desire to perpetuate themselves on Mother Ghana (for at least the next thirty years, apparently. Imagine that). Doesn't bear thinking, ooooo, Ghanafuo.


2) Their endless revisionist-historical-lies: to foist Dr. J. B. Danquah (a known well-paid-agent of Western intelligence agencies), on our younger generations, as the one-man-thousand-creator-in-chief, of modern Ghana. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo.


3) Their nation-wrecking, elitist-and-nonsensical Akan tribal supremacist-rubbish (not so fast, dear critical-reader: Although it matters not a whit to me, I am actually an Akan royal with roots in Akyem Osiem and Akyem Tontro, oooo, wai, Massa). Tweaaaaaa...


 Imagine all that, dear reader. Pure nonsense on wiggly bamboo stilts. Fools. They will all be hoisted on their own petard, to a man, in the fullness of time. None of them will be spared, for their many crimes against Mother Ghana, then. All those now lining up to participate in the ongoing brutal gang-rape of Mother Ghana, will be held to account when the time finally comes. For sure. That's not a threat. It's a solemn promise. Yoooooo...

Yvon Chouinard: Wu y3 bue ankasa oooo, wai

Financial news reports, dear reader, have it that the founder of California-domiciled   Patogonia, Yvon Chouinard, has just made the planet Earth, the sole shareholder, of the sports-focused company he founded,  Patogonia. How marvellous. Cool.

It means, more or less, in effect,  that virtually all Patogonia's profits, will go to a charitable trust, the Holdfast Collective, to be used to fund green projects, which help prevent humans from going past the existentially-threatening climate-change-tipping-point-of-no-return.  

One hopes, that, that extraordinary and ground-breaking  common-good-gesture, by Yvon Chouinard, will shame Ghana's cohort of greed-filled professional-enablers: who offer their baleful influence and power, to crooked foreign investors, to rip-off Mother Ghana.

Those despicable and amoral lawyers, accountants and receivers (or deceivers?), who worship Mammon, so,  and sacrifice good people, on their alters-of-avarice, in regular fashion: beavering away, leveraging our entire justice system, to the evil ends that drive them - as they seek to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, ought to bow their heads in shame. Full stop.

Sadly, even as we speak, some of them are incredibly busy helping themselves, to the low-hanging fruits of the ongoing orgy-of-looting, in the hijacking of B-BOVID, from its brilliant founder, Issa Ouedraogo, in broad daylight - by the Banque Edmond de Rothschild Group and African Development Bank Group (AfDB), funded greenwashing-carpetbaggers from France,  Moringa (aided and abetted by its small army of unethical-assigns in Ghana). Disgraceful. Monstrous. Unspeakable. Unpardonable. Tweaaaaaa...

Furthermore, dear reader, surely, could our country's leading and most innovative green entrepreneurs (who operate successfully  across all our national economy's sectors, in our still beautiful and mostly peaceful, homeland Ghana), not organise themselves, to collaborate with Yvone Chouinard's charitable foundation, as ESG partners?

Would that not enable them to fund their ecological-resilience projects that create meaningful and fulfilling jobs galore, as well as generate wealth that remains locally, across Ghana?

Ditto enable the Forestry Commission to invite pricipled and ethical foreign entrepreneurs, to collaborate with it, to use ecotourism as a conservation-through-ecotourism tool, to help  preserve the remainder of our nation's priceless natural capital, by partnering Yvon Chouinard's charitable  foundation to  leverage carbon credit markets in Europe,  the Americas and Asia? Yvon ```Chouinard``` , wu y3 bue, ankasa, wai!

Time to speak plainly to all Ghana's tribal Chiefs about the peace and stability of the Republic of Ghana

The unedifying-spectacle, dear reader, of human beings carrying their fellow humans, on their heads, in palanquins, at the grounds where traditional festivals take place - as if we are still living in the cruelty and barbarism of the superstition-bedrocked societies of the Dark Ages, when slavery was rife - is very reflective of the hide-bound Chieftaincy institution, which for some in our homeland Ghana, today, is the last bastion of tribal-supremacists, nationwide. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo.

With the greatest respect, who in the Ghana of today, isn't aware that the palaces of Chiefs are the vipers-nests, where secret ritual murders are said to take place, regularly, if bush-telegraph-sources are to be believed, that is? Yoooooo...

Furthermore, what little school pupil, in prinary schools across the length and breadth of our homeland Ghana, doesn't know that egregiously-corrupt Chiefs (and the super-arrogant minion-enablers that surround them and fan their massive and absurdly-brittle-royal-egos), triple-sell and pocket parts of the territorial landmass of the Republic of Ghana, regularly, I ask?

Let us also assume, for argument's sake, that some of the predecessors of the fueding Ga Dangbe Chiefs, and the Asante Chief (apparently delegated by the Kumasihene, to represent him), once upon a time, in the far-distant-past, ruled the entire known world, then, with royal courts unsurpassed in their splendor and magnificence. No problem envisaging that, koraaaa. Cool.

That said, however, there is a rather troubling-question (for those of us who love and treasure Mother Ghana passionately), around the above assumption-for-argument's-sake, to pose to those feuding traditionalists, from Accra and Kumasi, who allegedly nearly came to blows, during the funeral of the late Papa,of Ghana's leading state-capture-wheeler-dealer deal-maker, on the grounds off the forecourt of Parliament House (an appropriate venue: as it is in Parliament where most of the one-sided PPP agreements that have enabled him to amass super-wealth, at our nation's expense, are passed regularly).

The question is: What have past-glories, reflective of their world-shattering past global conquests, and unrivalled-supremacy, got to do, with every-day-life, in today's digital-era, one wonders? Enough, really is enough, oooo. Yoooooo...

With respect (and without exception), all Ghana's tribal Chiefs, must understand, clearly, that if need be, the Chieftaincy institution will be forcefully-reformed, against their will, to suit the on-the-ground-realities, of the digital-world, of today. The peace and stability of the Republic of Ghana, will never be sacrificed merely to humour Chiefs, who greedily lap up the fun-fool-respect, accorded them, nationwide, ooooo. Yoooooo...

The McDans of our nation must stop taking ordinary Ghanaians for granted, oooo

If only the bankrollers of Ghana's political parties understood clearly, dear reader, that their longterm successes can only be guaranteed, if the secured state-capture wheeler-dealer agreements they garner, to enable them send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, result in win-win outcomes for all stakeholders, regardless of social class and ethnicity. Hmmm, eyeasem,  ooooo.


The iniquitous one-sided Songhor Lagoon salt agreement that McDan is so enamoured of, is a classic example, of an unethical agreement, which totally ruins major value-chain community stakeholders. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, Ghanafuo.


What the McDans in our midst seem to lose sight of, is that far from saving Ghana, they are actually contributing to the coming-perfect-storm, which will let the ticking social-time-bomb we are sitting on, suddenly explode, oooo. Yoooooo...


He and those of his ilk, as sell ss the big-thieves-in-high-places, who dominate governments-of-the-day, regardless of which constituent-part of the NPP/NDC duopoly, happens to be in power, at any point in time, will all be ruined, in the metaphorical-conflagration that will engulf this stil mostly beautiful and welcoming African nation, full of incredibly tolerant, wise, aspirational and open-minded ordinary Africans. The McDans of our nation must stop taking ordinary Ghanaians for granted, so, oooo. When their pent-up-anger finally boils over, no army in this world, can save our hard-of-hearing, mostly selfish and incredibly-shortsighted ruling-elites, oooo. Yoooooooo...

Professor Feynman: An example of how power eventually corrupts even the most upright, anaaaa?

Anansekromfuo, perhaps the good Professor Feynman too has visited the Ghana of today, and has had his rude Gold-Coast-African-Awakening moment here: of the manifestation of rule-by-clever-idiots - wherby a resource-rich but struggling emerging nation, is dominated by powerful big-thieves-in-high-places, who grow super-rich through oligarchic-state-capture wheeler-dealing, guaranteed to send elite-net-worth, to stratospheric heights, anaaaa?


Hmmm, Oman Ghana - enti y3wieye paaaa enei? Today, the highest government official in the land (who once upon a time,  informed the world that those appointed to positions in his new regime, with a morbid interest in amassing wealth through public office insider-dealing, should go to the private sector instead, if they are wise), now says he has no friends, but has super-wealthy private sector business partners? Wow.


Sadly, in an example of how power eventually corrupts even the most upright who win power, this famed-apparently-personally-incorruptible-gentleman, now freely admits publicly, to partnering Ghana's foremost too-big-to-saction regime-crony-tycoon, whose tentacles covers a huge chunk of our national economy? Eiiiiii, ey3asem, ooooo. Hmmm, Oman Ghana: asem kesie, bi, ebeba debi ankasa, oooo. Yooooooo...

A quick note to Charles Amoako: a genius renewable energy sector inventor

My dear Charles,

 
As I intimated to you, in our last phone conversation, both Kofi Boakye-Yiadom, and I, are now leaning towards opening up our global networks-of-contacts, for you to leverage.

Your revolutionary, air-cooling-appliance  (suitable nomenclature, deployed to keep ruthless and amoral ruthless-copy-cats, at bay, worldwide!), is an idea whose time has most definitely now come,  in one's humble view.

In light of that, do rest assured that you will be able to have meaningful and productive conversations, with key people in our networks, in the College of Engineering,  at the  Arizona University, and with business development people, at the Wegeningen University and Research Institutes, in the Netherlands.

Please note that like both you and my favourite nephew,  Kofi Boakye-Yiadom (Ghana's foremost and most successful green entrepreneur!), I too love our our beautiful and welcoming homeland,  Ghana, passionately.

However, as someone who is also acutely aware of the duplicity, and machinations, of the nation-wrecking  pull-him-or-her-down crowd of envious-spoilers, across Ghana, my humble advice to you, is that you must  not despair about the enormous difficulties faced by brilliant young world-class innovators, such as your good self, in navigating our byzantine system's ecosystem for leveraging available funding, earmarked for truly world-changing energy transition innovations, such as yours. it's par for the course learning-curve-stuff. Simple.

Not being able to successfully find a way through that inpenetrable-maze of deliberate go-and-come-back-again-confusion, might actually very well turn out to be a blessing in disguise for you, if you aren't assisted here, timeously.  

Just focus on the conforting fact that the legacy appliance that your self-powered appliance replaces, has a worldwide market, of over some U.S. $9.2 billion. That's the bottomline-big-picture. Cool

Finally, let me assure you, that as a member of the  P. E. Thompson family (who are Akyem Abuakwa's largest private freehold landowners), some of our family's land will definitely  be made available to you, and your foreign partners,  to build a salubrious green campus complex, consisting of factory buildings, warehouses, conference facilities and  staff  accommodation, as your African headquarters, to enable you operate from Akyem Abuakwa, to tackle markets across the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). So, my dear Charles, God willing, it shall be well for you - in the fullness of time.  Cool.

Ghanafuo: How can we have a strong currency?

Absolutely, old chap, you are spot on about cutting-edge-solutions to our national economy's challenges: Yes,  if only our nation's hard-of-hearing ruling-elites would get it, that by incentivising innovators such as   Apostle Kojo Sarfo, for example - to use Ghana Export Import Bank funding to build three mega-factories to produce his marvellous organic foliar growth medium, and his natural pesticides (in mega-factories based  in  southern Ghana, another in the central part of our  country, and the other  in the north), we could actually transform Ghanaian agriculture into a 100 percent organic sector, which contributes to the health and overall well-being, of all Ghanaians.

Trouble is, precious few in our homeland Ghana can see the big-picture-linkages that could exponentially grow our nascent green economy's positive contribution to our GDP,  and strengthen what is a Ghana cedi, now in junk-currency-territory (to our detriment economically), sadly.

Take the cocoa industry for example. One of that critical sector's big-pictures: Why do we not aim to become the world's leading producer of organic cocoa beans, and use that to strike win-win deals with the biggest supermarket chains from the US, Canada, Europe and Asia, to partner cocoa farmers and the COCOBOD,  to add value to cocoa, by manufacturing own-brand  chocolates and other cocoa products, I ask, Naa?

Will that not create wealth that remains locally, and generate meaningful and fulfilling jobs galore, for our younger generations?

Yet another example of positive agrisector big-picture-linkages: Replicating nationwide, the brilliant social impact agripreneur, Issa Ouedraogo's (a genius who is the visionary-founder and 100 percent owner, of the social impact agribusiness, B-BOVID Farms Limited's) empowering climate change resilience smart organic farming initiative.

Issa's organic climate  smart farming model, is designed to guarantee food security, empower  value-chain smallholder farmer-stakeholders to bootstrap their way out of the brutish-hellish-trap of extreme poverty, successfully, to a life of financial independence,   and, also create wealth that remains locally, ditto generate meaningful and fulfilling jobs galore, across the landmass of the entire sovereign territory  of the Republic of  Ghana.    

Furthermore, now that the Precious Minerals Marketing Company Limited (PMMC), has finally partnered a private sector investor,  to build a gold refinery plant,  in Ghana, why do we not execute the big-picture-strategy, of linking that positive development,  to the outbound tourism markets of Asia (the vast majority of whose citizens are passionate about investing in gold),  by marketing Ghana as the beautiful and welcoming  African  gold coast  destination, where they can legally buy credit-card-sized gold bars, and gold coins with Adinkra symbols embossed on them, plus traditional-styled jewellery, I ask, Naa?
 

The question to ponder over is: Has the time not  now come for Ghanaians to understand clearly, that governments-of-the-day, cannot, and must not, continue to pretend to be creators of jobs, koraaa, anaaa? Haaba.
 

Our  hard-of-hearing ruling-elites ought to rather focus on making the private sector the post pandemic era's green economic-pillar, underpinning Ghana's transformation into an equitable and prosperous nation - by regularly   consulting the leading innovative players,  in the private sector, about removing all the bottlenecks preventing them from expanding their businesses, in resilient-fashion: in a world now being impacted by both climate change and worldwide pandemics: something that ought to be obvious, to all Ghanafuo, but isn't,  unfortunately.

Above all, as a wise and aspirational African people, we must end our love of imported goods - and ban all foreign goods that have better quality Ghanaian made substitutes.  Simple.

That, and taking advantage of the tremendous goodwill for Ghana (because of Nkrumah's commitment to the continent while in power), to leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area market (AfCFTA),  is how  we will definitely have a strong currency, oooo, Ghanafuo. Full stop. Yoooooo...
