Have Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko and Ken Ofori-Atta finally been hoisted on their own petards?

Having bankrupted Mother Ghana, to enable them send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights,  in the process, the too clever by half Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, and the super-sly Bible-quoting  Ken Ofori-Atta, two greed-filled progeny of our pre-colonial tribal-supremacist tribal ruling-elites,  have finally gotten their comeuppance,  and  been hoisted on their petards,  lol.

The progeny of our pre-colonial ruling elites, are clearly
a clear and present danger to Mother Ghana. No question.  

That is why one felt a sense of unease, when one saw a   photograph of the present Asantehene (who, incidentally is a perfect gentleman, obviously commited to the enterprise Ghana), posted on Facebook.

As the Asantehene happened to be sitting majestically atop human skulls,  in the photograph, it was not lost on one, that conveyed atavistic symbolism for anyone, who deeply cares about Mother Africa's well-being, and the welfare of its mostly-brilliant well-educated younger generations.

With the greatest respect, sitting atop human skulls, might be regarded by some as gruesome and barbaric, ooooo. Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiiii, ooooo.

In any case, it perfectly sums up, metaphorically,  why today's progeny of pre-colonial African monarchs, will soon face demands for payment of reparations for facilitating the slave trade.

Thus far, they have escaped being blamed for engaging in brutal-pillaging-wars, to capture slaves, and profit mightily, from so doing - and pay reparations for committing what were egregious crimes against humanity, of the worst kind,  alas.

Truth be told, if we really want Africa to realise her full potential, and become a world power, like India, as wise and aspirational Africans, we must take a leaf from India's strategic-playbook  -  and do what India did to get where she is today: ridding itself of its all-powerful Maharajahs, because its farsighted nationalist leaders understood clearly that for India to become a global power,  it had to be a meritocracy,  and that because inherited privilege is the meritocracy's greatest enemy,  they had to rid post-independent  India of its Maharajas. Simple. Case closed.

It's no accident that while India is acknowledged as a global power and world economic giant,  sadly, our homeland  Ghana is now a global-laughing-stock, fast retrogressing - and has now ended up being  bankrupted.

It is significant that having finally been entrusted with the power that  they have long sought (from the days of the brilliant scholar,  Dr. J. B. Danquah), today's greed-filled state-capture big-thieves-in-high-places, who also happen to be the super-ruthless hypocritical progeny,  of our pre-colonial   ruling eites from Akyem Abuakwa, have finally shown us their true colours, and bankrupted our country, in order to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, under the able leadership of the  too clever by half Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, and the financial engineering genius, sly Ken Ofori-Atta.

Not satisfied with that, they now propose to crown their perfidy, by renaming our premiere university,  the University of Ghana, after Dr. J. B. Danquah. Any wonder that they have finally been hoisted on their own collective-petard, lol? 3y3nsem piiiii, ooooo, Ghanafuor...
