1) On the subject of earthquakes:
One cannot help but commiserate with the people of Morroco. The horrific scenes highlighted in media reports, from the areas that were so tragically struck by the recent massive-earthquake, which injured and killed so many, are cruel-reminders, of the fragility of modern human civilisation, dear critical-reader. No? Hmmm, 3yensem piiii, oooo...
As it happens, earthquakes are also powerful reminders, of just how much we are all at the mercy of the unseen forces of nature - living as we do, in a habited-shared-biosphere (shared with other lifeforms), which in reality, in terms of geological-time that is measured by timeframes spanning millions of years, our common home, is actually, still an evolving planet.
In that light, the point ought to be made, that, when, not if, the next big earthquake strikes Ghana, the world will witness the apocalyptic horror, of structure upon structure collapsing, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people, dying needlessly, as sure as day follows night - because of the egregious corruption, bedevilling the whole of our national economy's construction sector, in our benighted country.
We will also be shocked by
the lack of professionalism, we will see
amongst many first responders, totally unprepared for any serious work - because they were unfit to be recruited into the security agencies of our country, in the first place: but got in nonetheless, because of so-called elite-protocol-allocations, in endless recruitment scandals, over the decades. Pity. Ghana - tweaaaaaa...
2) On organic food security for all societal demographics:
Has the time not come for wise and aspirational Africans to sankofa-reclaim and take ownership of the health-giving, immune-boosting organic foods, we grew and ate, before our mostly-disastrous encounter with Western civilisation, I ask, dear critical-reader?
Surely, by simply leveraging, and replicating, the unique profit-sharing social impact organic climate-smart farming business, deployed by B-BOVID (business built on values, integrity and dignity), founded by orphan-made-good, Issa Ouedraogo, in Ghana's beautiful and bountiful Western Region, across rural Africa, we could easily convert Africa's entire farming sector, to a 100 percent organic climate-smart green economy pillar, within the next four years - and thereby ensure wholesome inmune-boosting food security, for all the member nations of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), as wise and aspirational Africans, could we not, dear critical-reader? Haaba.
3) On the subject of not allowing those who looted Ghana, during the Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo presidency, to get away scot-free:
Yes, favourite nephew, I too concur with Nelson Mandela's wisdom-laden statement that you so pointedly directed me to read, lol:
"When you see that the government and their relatives are looting the country, you have to disobey, rise up, get on the streets, drive them out of the country, send them into exile, and nationalise their illegal gains." Brilliant revolutionary stuff. Yes, one concurs 100 percent with what the noble and honest President Mandela said. Yabr3. Had enough. Full stop. Case closed. Haaba.
The astonishing sums of varied-currency monies that were counted in Sister Ntikumah-Borla's mansions, are the tip of the massive cesspool-of-corruption that has enveloped a regime that has unfortunately lost its way, and abandoned common decency.
Nonetheless, there is no need to worry, unnecessarily, wai - for, in the fullness of time, will put on trial, and eventually jail, all those who looted Ghana, while this confounded regime, was in power, no matter how long that takes. Cool.
No one, amongst that lot, who stole us blind, during the Akufo-Addo presidency, will get away scot free, oooo, Massa. Full stop. Case closed. Yoooooooo...
In that regard, if by chance you happen to cross paths, with Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, by any chance, do tell him, from me, that I will personally keep the keys to the cell awaiting him, when we finally turf them out of power, with our thumbs, in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, wai. The f-cking dancing-sod.
Can you believe that that brigand, once upon a time, went to faraway Norway (with my dear brother and friend Kweku Baako Jnr), after J. J. Rawlings' presidency ended, in the hope that they would unearth information, about the divestiture of a then state-owned cement factory, to a Norwegian entity, and unearth what they thought would be incontrovertible-irrefutable-evidence, of alleged kickbacks, supposedly paid to Jerry Rawlings, lol. Hmmm, 3y3asem oooo...
Naturally, they both returned home, after considerable heel-kicking, empty-handed. Looting Ghana, wasn't one of J. J's many sins, koraaaa, oooo, Massa.
Can't say that, though, about this shameless, greed-filled too-clever-by-half lot, who have ended up bankrupting the enterprise Ghana, through unprecedented state-capture rent-seeking deal-making, specifically tailor-made, and designed, to enable them send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights.
Today, thanks to those sodden geniuses, our homeland Ghana has morphed into a veritable Anansesemkrom - with the narcissistic, smug-joke-cracking doubly-smart wise-guy, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, as the uncrowned Anansesemkrom
dance-champion, forever weaving magical steps, and swinging rhythmically, to his favourite songs. Hmmm, Oman Ghana - tweaaaaa...
