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...
