Is former President John Dramani Mahama yet another too-clever-by-half stuck-in-the-past African leader?

Dear critical-reader, as wise and aspirational Africans, we need to understand clearly, that we have  reached a juncture of our post- independence history, so critical, and pivotal,  that we must vow that in 2024, we won't elect as President, yet another too-clever-by-half African leader, in the category of stuck-firmly-in-the-past, leaderships, across the continental landmass of  Africa.

Given that, the question to ponder over is: How does one rate former President Mahama, rate, in that sense?

The former President, is blessed with a charming personality, dear critical-reader: He is personable, and, above all, incredibly fantastic, when  busy  interacting with bona-fide Slay Queens, who have extravagant tastes, dress to kill, and, travel, only in the first-class carriages, of our nationwide network of phantom Kweku-Ananse-toli high-speed gravy-trains.

If in doubt, dear critical-reader, just ask the Republic of  Ghana's kingly-clad, royal and majestic  Right Honourable Alban Sumani Kingsford Bagbin, Speaker of Ghana's totally-compromised Parliament (that is a well-heeled foreign lobbyist's dream   - especially the kind of grifting foreign lobbyist, who is blessed with abundant-knowledge, of the esoteric art and science, of  well-oiled palm-greasing), to regale you, with anecdotal-toli-fare, describing President Mahama's Slay-Queen-slaying abilities (when the "I am number three in Ghana. What is your number?"), Speaker of Parliament, isn't busy trying to control a rowdy Parliament, full of mostly-disrespectful boys-boys will be boys serial-philanderer-supremo (nudge-nudge, wink-wink) baby-Slay-Queen-slayers.

Such is the nature of the negative-sea-change, being experienced by the vast majority of ordinary Ghanaians, as a result of the bankrupting of our nation, dear critical-reader, that we must never select as President, any politician who still doesn't understand that to prosper,  we must step out of the shadow of the conventional-economic-thinking (that enable the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund  (IMF) to continue enslaving Mother Ghana).

In that light, the wisest amongst the inner-circle-advisors, surrounding former President John Dramani Mahama, ought to counsel him, to stay in retirement. And, while in retirement, former President Mahama ought to remain ever-silent,  publicly, and, live out the rest of his natural life, being treated as a well-respected, apparently-sagacious  former African leader.

As wise and aspirational Africans, dear critical-reader, has the time not now come for us to vow to stop wasting our precious-time, and energies, molly-coddling African leaders, straightjacketed, and firmly stuck, in the past  -  and are unfortunately without  the cognitive-ability, to do orignal-thinking,  so bleeding-edge, that their implemented transformative-policies, give the world the distinctive  impression that they are magicians?  

The unity of our homeland Ghana (a beautiful and  unique African nation that one  loves passionately), and the future well-being of all its societal demographics, are at stake, no less, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yoooooo...

Truth be told, the domineering  duopoly constituted by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), and Ghana's largest opposition party,  the National Democratic Congress (NDC), are two sides of the same debased-coin.

Truth be told, both parties contain powerful state-capture  rent-seeking cabals, bent on exploiting the natural resources of Ghana, for their own benefit.

The time has therefore now come to focus on serious, transformative leadership that understand the importance of lifting all Ghana's marginalised demographics out of  poverty -3 through bleeding-edge levelling-up policies that unleash the creativity of our nation's private sector, particularly its  teeming-millions of phenomenally hardworking micro-entrepreneurs, who only need small amounts of hard-to-obtain cash,  to liberate themselves from grinding poverty, by bootstrapping their way to financial independence.

Alan Kyremateng's new movement, for example, can deliver a uniting-force, of ethical Third-Way-centrists, commited to the establishment of a competent and ethically-bedrocked
government of national unity, which utilises the gifts and talents of our amazing world-class talent-pool, which no one from overseas, who steps on the soil of the landmass of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Ghana, for the very  first time, will fail to be impressed by.

If  the bigwigs in the NDC, are fixated on the name  Mahama, then let them convince the brilliant, serious and hardworking  Ibrahim Mahama,  to set aside his intensive-dislike  for the winner-takes-all nature of  Ghanaian politics (because of its ruinous-divissiveness), and lead them into the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, as their candidate for the presidency. Simple.

That's the Mahama with balls, who is smart enough, and blessed with the nous and gumption, to lead our homeland Ghana, out of the doldrums she now finds herself stuck in, as a bankrupt country, despite its untold riches in natural capital, and abundant world-class talent, which the Lord God  Almighty, gave to her, as her portion, to enable her lead  Africa's coming Renaissance.

The brutal-truth, dear critical-reader, is that former President John Dramani Mahama, is just yet another too-clever-by-half, stuck-in-the-past African leader. Full stop. Case closed. A word to the wise...
