Leadership of Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited: Over to you, Joe Lartey!

Dear critical-reader, I shall begin this piece, by thanking Mr. Issa Ouedraogo, who shared the gem of a viral video clip, which inspired this piece. Yewura Issa Ouedraogo, is the orphan-made-good, who  founded B-BOVID (Business Built On Values, Integrity and Dignity).

Mother Ghana owes a huge debt of gratitude to innovative social impact organic farmers, such as Issa Ouedraogo,  whose business models are profit-sharing ones bedrocked on agroforestry principles  -  who  empower their smallholder farmer-stakeholders to bootstrap their own way to financial independence: through diversified income-streams. It is the best way for Africans themselves to ensure food security, for Africa at large, and Ghana, specifically. Cool.

Ghanafuor, nothing can justify the  unconscionable Ghanaian
head-sticking-in-sand, mentality, highlighted by the said shared seminal viral video clip, oooo, lol. Yooooooo...

Which leads one to one's latest pet-gripe: which is about our beautiful and bountiful homeland, Ghana, and the thorny-subject of our unconscionable head-sticking-in-sand mentality:

Agoooo, Ghanafuor, with the greatest respect,  will the leadership of Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited, please ensure that all the very, very clever female market women, from Gomoa Buduburam, whom I have convinced to stop selling stuff earning them mere pesewas, and, sign on instead, to the Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited's Cassava Starch Manufacturing Initiative, are welcomed warmly and happily, by their Kasoa New Market Road branch staff, and educated about it.

Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited's Cassava Starch Manufacturing Initiative, will help boost the exports of the homeland of a wise and African people (Ghanaians), while  helping to  improve their bankrupted nation's balance of payments. Simple.

Dear critical-reader, the Stanbic Bank Cassava Starch Manufacturing Initiative,  will also generate jobs galore, on top, too, oooo. Ditto create wealth which remains locally in Ghana (in this instance, wealth for hardworking Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia
market women who are all financial-pillars of their families, as it happens),  instead of being repatriated abroad, as super-profits for foreign investors, will it not?

Madam Mary Ntiamoah (and all the other hardworking market women from the Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia market), please go back to the Stanbic Bank' Ghana Limited's Kasoa New Market Road branch, and kick an almighty fuss, until they invite you in, and let you speak to the Relationship Manager, there, who ought to be able (all things being equal), to brief you about Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited's Cassava Starch Manucturing Initiative, which you will then discover, is a sure-banker, to enable all of you send your personal net worth to stratospheric heights.  Full stop.

Dear critical-reader, with the greatest respect, is that not how Ghanaians can all help to make their well-endowed Motherland Ghana, a much, much  better place, for all its forever-complaining demographics, as active citizens, not mere spectators, as advised, once upon a time, by their cmountry's current  leader, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, I ask? Leadership of Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited: Over to you, Joe Lartey!

We sit confounded amidst the ruins-of-hope that the Ghana envisaged by President Nkrumah has ended up today

We sit amidst the ruins-of-hope that the Ghana envisaged by President Nkrumah has ended up today - surveying, with incredulity, the bankrupted-havoc wrought by the greed-filled (revisionist-history-spreading), state-capture rent-seeking big-thieves-in-high-places.

Having been hoisted on their collective-petard, with our bankrupted national economy now under the firm control of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, those now governing our nation, today's elitist-progeny of Dr. J. B. Danquah, into whose grasping hands Mother Ghana has fallen, are focused intead, on promoting, Danquah, the Gold Coast's tribal-supremacist fifth-columnist-tool of Western intelligence agencies, as the hero of the struggle for independence, and sole-architect of the entirety of its nascent-statehood's system. Incredible. Abominable. Monstrous. Unpardonable. Anansesemkrom-toli. Tweaaaaaaa...

Having lured Ghanaians to vote their regime into power twice in a row, with empty-promises-galore, the arrogant, slippery and sly progeny of Dr. J. B. Danquah, have now ended up bankrupting our Motherland, Ghana, while sending their individaul net worth to stratospheric heights, in the process, at the expense of ordinary people, across the entirety of the territorial landmass of our Republic.

As we speak, dear critical-reader, ordinary Ghanaians, nationwide, are struggling to survive on a day-to-day basis - trying to cope with an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, as their lives are turned upside down, by callous private-sector-greedflation caused mostly by profiteering regime-crony-entrepreneurs.

Sadly, all that economic-chaos, results from those who now dominate our byzantine system, piling up a debt-mountain of gargantuan proportions - despite promising never to borrow money for nation-building, while in the political wilderness: mostly because they have profited personally from so doing, while in power: benefiting from secret massive-advisory-fees and opaque arms-length-commissions.

(Hmmm, 3y3nsem, piiii, ooooo, Ghanafuor. Enti Oman Ghana, y3wiey3 paaaa, 3niyei3, anaaa? Asem k3siyiey3, bi, 3b3ba debi ankasa, ooooo, Ghanafuor. Yooooooooo....)

So, finally, dear critical-reader, we have reached a point in time, when we now sit confounded, amidst the ruins-of-hope that the Ghana envisaged by President Nkrumah has ended up today, surveying the ruination wrought by the hoisting, on their collective-petard, of today's canny, greed-filled elitist-progeny, of Dr. J. B. Danquah - the  fifth-columnist local paid-tool of Western intelligence agencies, during the struggle for independence and in the early post-independence period, now vigorously being promoted as a national hero, by his dissembling revisionist descendants, busy mismanaging our nation's affairs for personal profit.

Ghanaian politicians: Stop the Volta Basin flooding blame game - and start advocating for climate-smart policy initiatives

Dear critical-reader, has the time not now come for Ghanaian politicians from across the spectrum, to stop the Volta Basin flooding blame game - and start advocating for climate-smart policy initiatives, to protect the masses, instead?

That said, it is obvious to the world that the time has now come for all people of good conscience in Ghana, to condemn, in clear and unambiguous terms,  without any reservations whatsoever, all the politicians unfairly blaming the operators of the Akosombo and Kpong hydroelectric dams, the Volta River Authority (VRA), for the apocalyptic-flooding resulting from the spillage of excess stored-water from the said two Volta Basin hydroelectric dams.

Truth be told, dear critical-reader, the catastrophic Volta Basin flooding, which we are witnessing from media reportage on television screens across Ghana, and which is now being experienced by those living in downstream communities, along the Volta River, is an egregious example, of the existential-impacts, of a warning biosphere, that we ignore at our peril.

Ignorant politicians from across the spectrum (and the more responsible sections of Ghana's legacy mainstream media), ought to wake up to that reality, and start advocating for climate-smart policie initiatives to protect the masses, from the negative-impacts of increasingly-frequent extreme-weather-events. Now. Not tomorrow, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yooooooo...

Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Attah and Prof Stephen Adei: It's actually possible to build a long-lasting world-class road network in Ghana with zero corruption

Dear critical-reader, perhaps it might come as a pleasant surprise, to  Ghana's  Minister for Roads and Transport, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Attah and Prof Stephen Adei (as well as tens of millions of ordinary Ghanaians too), that if we stepped out of the shadow of conventional economic thinking, as wise and aspirational Africans, our nation could actually build a network of world-class dualised tolled concrete motorways from Accra to all the regional capitals, which will be as good as those in Japan and Europe, without Mother Ghana having to  borrow even a pesewa to do so, ditto with zero corruption, too, on top of that blessing.

How, you might wonder, can Ghana, our beloved Motherland, build a network of world-class dualised tolled concrete motorways, from Accra to all the regional capitals, which will also be world-class, and just as good as those in Japan and Europe, without Mother Ghana having to  borrow even a pesewa, to do so, ditto with zero corruption, too,  dear critical-reader?

The answer, dear critical-reader, is simple: That infrastructure  Providential-blessing, could be made possible,  through  collaboration between Ghana's best private road contractors, and their counterparts in Japan and Europe. Simple.

The question is: Are even little schoolchildren across the entire landmass of the sovereign territory of the  Republic  Ghana, not aware, that  the leaderships of both those global economic powers, are quite keen on the idea of Global North nations like  theirs, funding Global South friend-shoring Belt-and-Road infrastructure projects, to enable them win Global South hearts and minds, away from the Chinese,  through soft-power-initiatives, which also happen to be beneficial to their own private sector entrepreneurs?

Put simply, dear critical-reader,  the idea, is for our country to allow global bidding to be opened, for the construction, in Ghana, of a network of world-class  tolled concrete motorways, from Accra to all the 16 regional capitals, by entities registered in Ghana, which will be joint-venture partnerships, between Japanese and European road construction companies, and the best world-class private Ghanaian road construction companies.

Furthermore, all the selected private-sector entities, which will be allowed to self-finance, build and operate those tolled dualised concrete motorways built in Ghana, for 35-year periods, will be incentivesed by being allowed to repatriate their profits 100 percent to Japan, and to the European Union member-nations that they are legally  domiciled in,  for the entirety of the 35-year period. Full stop. Case closed. Cool.

That, dear critical-reader, is cutting-edge-creative-thinking, which outlines the simple process of how highly-indebted Global South nations, such as now-bankrupted Ghana, can build world-class dualised tolled concrete motorways, nationwide, without burdening hapless taxpayers, in the process. Full stop. Case closed.

Finally, dear critical-reader, this old uneducated fool and  ignoramus,  Grandpa Kofi Thompson, would be most grateful, if someone could  please pass this short message on to Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Attah (Ghana's mecurial minister for roads and transport),  and Prof Stephen Adei, whom the minister has just referred to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), for publicly alleging that bribes of GHC1 million are demanded by public officials, before road contracts are awarded in Ghana: Gentlemen, surprise, surprise - Mother Ghana's private sector, could actually partner private Japanese and EU road contstruction companies, to build a tolled, world-class dualised concrete motorway network nationwide, across the territorial landmass of our bankrupted Republic,  with zero corruption, and without our nation having to borrow any  money to do so, oooo, wai!

To far-right fascist warming-planet insouciant-disparagers worldwide: Quis erit, erit!

Dear critical-reader, quis erit, erit: What the world's far-right fascist disparagers of the data and scientific evidence of the impacts on organic life in a biosphere that is humanity's only home, seem to miss, is that if we allow human greed and arrogance to make the planet Earth uninhabitable, humanity it is that will become an extinct species, not the planet Earth, lol.

In terms of geographic-time, in a few million years, barring it being smashed into smithereens by an object from outerspace, the earth will thrive again - without greed-filled hard-of-hearing humanity.

Hopefully, the world's far-right cultural wars' facsist warming-planet insouciant-disparagers will see the light - when their own self-interest demands that - long before then, lol. In the meantime let them continue their daft-endless-mocking, lol. Dig? No? Yooooooo. Quis erit, erit!

Should our nation's leaders not act swiftly to protect Ghanaians from the negative -impacts of climate change?

Dear critical-reader, should members of Ghana's hard-of-hearing political class, not begin to focus on studying the impacts of a warming planet - and act swiftly to implement policies needed to protect our nation and all its societal demographics from said climate-change-impacts?


One understands perfectly, for example, why a diligent Parliamentarian, such as Hon. Okudzato Abblakwa is considering taking the operators of the Akosombo hydroelectricity dam, the Volta River Authority (VRA), to court, for the disastrous impacts of the spillage of excess water from the dam, which has been necessitated, by the danger posed to the structural integrity, of the dam's retaining wall, by the volume of water accumulated behind it.


Sadly, however, despite Hon. Samuel Okudzato Abblakwa's good intentions, in that regard, the fact of the matter, is that as a people, we must come to terms with the impacts of extreme weather events resulting from a warming planet. Full stop.


All the coastal communities along our county's entire coastline, without exception, for example, will eventually be swallowed up by sea-level rise - resulting from melting sheet ice from the north and south poles - and no amount of executed sea defence wall construction contracts will prevent that coming-catastrophe, too, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yooooooo...


In that light, the question to ponder over as wise and aspirational Africans is: Should we not now start the process of planning how to creatively fund moving all our coastal communities to higher ground, in order to secure their collective-future?

Above all, dear critical-reader,  because it affects our ability to ensure food security for Ghanaians, members of our nation's hard-of-hearing political class ought to start focusing on studying the impacts of a warming planet, from successful climate-smart organic agripreneuers, such as the brilliant founder of B-BOVID, Issa Ouedraogo  -  and act swiftly to take all the steps need to protect our nation and all its societal-demographics from said climate-change-impacts, oooo, Ghanafuor. Now. Not tomorrow. Yoooooo...

Ghanaian politricksters: The issue of hydroelectric dam-spillage not one for political-football oooo

Dear critical-reader, it is vital that all members of our nation's hard-of-hearing political class, understand clearly that the critical and all-important issue, of the spillage, by the Volta River Authority (VRA), operators of the Akosombo hydroelectric dam, of the excess volume of water, is a national security issue that must not be turned into political-football, to settle personal-scores, and grandstand for brownie-point party-advantage-seeking, ooooo. Yoooooo...

What an extraordinary situation this is - the question to ponder over being: Why are highly intelligent politicians arguing about the impacts of the spillage of excess water from a hydroelectric dam that has more or less exceeded its water-volume safety-metrics, in terms of the volume of water stored behind its all-important wall?

 Are our nation's politicians grandstanding over the spillage of the Akosombo hydroelectric dam stored excess water, not aware that the walls of hydroelectric dams, behind which water for green-power-generation is stored, are bedrocked integral-safety-assurance-structures - which must never be allowed to be compromised: if the frightening apocalyptic-impacts of dam-wall-collapse are to be avoided, anaaaa, Ghanafuor?

 Have they forgotten so soon the apocalyptic-impacts of recent dam-wall-collapses in Libya and Peru, dear critical-reader?

It is insane for individuals in leadership positions, who ideally (all things being equal, so to speak), ought to seek expert-advice on the subject, to publicly condemn the VRA's engineers' (who incidentally are world-class and amongst the best globally), handling of the operational-necessity of stored-water-spillage.

Are those geniuses not aware that that is the only way, operationally, to ensure that the wall of the Akosombo hydroelectric dam isn't breached: an occurrence too horrific to contemplate - as it will lead to dam-wall-collapse, as sure as day follows night.

When that happens, the whole of the Tema township, and harbour, like every other structure in the path of the massive volume of released water from the collapsed wall of the dam, will be swept away, and no human in its path, will survive when that happens, either, ooooo, Ghanafuor. Yooooooo...

That, dear critical-reader, is why no sane person in our country should either question why the Akodombo hydroelectric dam's operational-spillage went ahead, when it did, or demand that it shouldn't be allowed to continue - because water will inundate properties. Are we that insane? Haaba. Ghana's politricksters must be told clearly and unambiguously, that they must not turn the issue of the Akosombo hydroelectric dam's operational-spillage into political football for point-scoring party advantage.
Ahhhh, Anansesemkrom paaaa diy3 - tweaaaaa...

Ghanafuor: Should we pray for our current energy minister Hon. Mathew Opoku-Prempeh?

Re:  Further tales from the Anansesemkrom-Toli series (of who will end up in jail for life for participating in the ongoing brutal gang-rape of Mother Ghana, after enforced regime-change in 2025)

Dear critical-reader, should we pray for the current minister of energy, Hon. Mathew Opoku-Pempeh, who is apparently  about to be removed from his post - because he has apparently become an obstacle to powerful individuals bent on profiting from state-capture rent-seeker-deals in the sector of our national economy under his remit?

 Alas, according to yet to be fact-checked bush-telegraph sources, Hon. Mathew Opoku Pempeh's  predecessor as minister, Hon. Kyremateng-Agyarko, too, apparently also lost his post, as minister, in the selfsame energy ministry, simply because he wouldn't countenance interference by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko the Svengali of today's government-of-the-day.

For those to whom he is a stranger, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, is  a blood relative, of the  only  elected Ghanaian leader, in our entire history as an independent African nation-state, said to be personally incorruptible, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

For some inexplicable reason, President Akufo-Addo, apparently backed the said Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, when the predecessor of the current energy minister, Hon. Kyremateng-Agyarko, apparently complained to the incorrrutible President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, about an unconscionable energy sector power agreement that he felt wasn't in the overall best interest of Mother Ghana, which Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, was apparently insisting Hon. Agyarko sign on Ghana's behalf (for reasons best known to that too-clever-by-half crony-regime-Svengali said to be this current Ghanaian government-of-the-day's puppet-master,   lol).

And, in the face of all such shenanigans, some Ghanaian innocents-abroad,  apparently wonder how our resource-rich nation, ended up being bankrupted  -  chiefly by endless-borrowing that personally profited a powerful and well-connected few, and sent their individual net worth to stratospheric heights,  during the tenure of a regime led by a politician said to be a personally incorruptible African leader. Amazing.

Granted that quite a number of  Ghanaians still continue to speak truth to power,  via social media, is it not rather odd that despite widespread rumours of powerful state-capture rent-seekers' appropriating wealth belonging to all the citizenry, that Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, and his ilk, are able to manipulate the presidency so easily, as if Ghana were their personal fiefdom  -  without their actual role in this regime ever coming under closer scrutiny by our mainstream media?

The question is:  Why do so many media professionals in the more responsible sections of Ghana's legacy mainstream media outlets, remain silent, in the face of today's  troubling-times?

Are we not experiencing
 an unprecedented era-of-misery,   during which the vast majority of ordinary people are constantly being forced, by circumstances beyond their control,  to struggle daily, merely to survive on a day-to-day basis - while  well-connected big-thieves-in-high-places, allegedly hoard zillions in assorted currencies, in their many palatial homes?

Yet, the reason why a wise and aspirational Africa people's country has ended up as a bankrupted nation that still remains a global superpower in begging-bowl-diplomacy, is obvious to even little school children in Accra's Airport residential area's Association. International School, as well as those in our capital city's Cantonments residential area's Morning Star International School, and those attending its Ghana International School, dear critical-reader.

Be that as it may, dear  critical-reader, perhaps it might be prudent for ordinary Ghanaians to pray for Hon. Mathew Opoku-Pempeh, Ghana's current energy minister, ooooo. No? Eiiii, Oman Ghana - 3nti y3wiey3  paaa, 3niy3 anaaaa? Asem k3siyi3 bi eyeba debi ankasa oooo. Yooooooo. Hmmm, Anansesemkrom - tweaaaaaa...

Give me Elon Musk's absolutist free speech stance that underpins X (formerly Twitter), any day anytime

Dear critical-reader, give me Elon Musk's absolutist free speech stance that underpins X (formerly Twitter), any day, anytime and anywhere, for gauging the actual pulse of humanity, so to speak, and for the world's on-the-ground lifestreamed realities-reportage. 

Elon Musk's free speech absolutist stance makes a great deal of sense, in that sense, lol. How do you track the purveyors of hate, if you drive them underground by censoring them? Get it? Dig? Yooooooo...

The targeted demographics of the purveyors of hate, such as Blacks, Asians and mixed-race individuals, must simply become smarter, stronger & strike maximum-fear in such mostly-cowardly racists - not waste time moaning about their visibility on social media platforns, lol. Simple.

Black and other coloured demographics, which are minorities in the wealthy Global North nations, where far-right racist politicians are exploiting oft-ill-educated, unthinking and mostly-unhinged misfits, to rise to power (as wave upon wave of migrants mass up on their borders, in nations such as the UK and the U.S., for example), must take a leaf from the state of Israel's survival-handbook, and become smarter than their enemies in all spheres of human endeavour. Simple commonsense, really,  lol.

Ditto become stronger and strike even more fear in all racists who seek to physically eliminate them, at all material times, wherever they happen to live, worldwide:

They must always deal with all purveyors of hate, both online and offline, in heavy-handed-fashion, to swiftly neutralise them, when it matters most: when they pose a risk to life and limb - by instantly invoking the natural justice law of self-defence and terminate their unwelcomed-bile, swiftly and harshly. Do all religious faiths not approve of that basic natural justice law of survival, anaaaa, one asks, dear critical-reader, lol? Give me Elon Musk's absolutist free speech stance that underpins X (formerly Twitter), any day anytime. Case closed. Full stop.

Even the Lord Jesus Christ was a victim of the vile-ungrateful while on the planet Earth

Truth be told, dear critical-reader, even the Lord Jesus Christ was a victim of the vile-ungrateful while on the planet Earth. Sad to say, the world is still full of ingrates with secret-agendas. That is why, today,  one's focus is on an  aspect of life in  what used to be known as the Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area.

According to a wag I know, Camp Liberia has more charitable foundations, and NGOs, per square mile, than anywhere else in the world. Amazing.

Despite the preponderance of charitable organisations in the Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, there are some, who insist that it is peppered with ingrates, unfortunately. But how true is that, dear critical-reader?

Luckily, that hasn't been my experience, thank goodness. Speaking personally, to me, Camp Liberia is a unique melting-pot community, where people from across the West African sub-region, call home - and is full of the most amazing energy. It also happens to be a very, very special and interesting part, of Ghana's beautiful and bountiful Central Region. 

 

One happens to love and cherish that melting-pot energy-laden-community, a great deal. That said, it is vital that young people from privileged backgrounds, who are compassionate, and quick to offer empowering-assistance, to the needy, who happen to interact with residents of Camp Liberia, and come across ingrates-with-secret agendas, don't stop helping people in need, in Camp Liberia, just because a few vile and despicable ingrates, abuse their generosity. We must never forget that even the Lord Jesus Christ, was a victim of the vile-ungrateful, while on the planet Earth, as it happens, oooo, Ghanafuor. Full stop. Case closed.

What secret agenda drives the UK's legacy media's continued hounding of Harry and Megan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?

Re: The UK Monarch's state visit to Kenya  

Dear critical-reader, as the current British Monarch, HRH King Charles 111, embarks on a state visit to Kenya, it strikes one that the irony in it all, is that for many Africans, the prevailing view, is that the UK Monarchy's future, will be secured by the welcoming, open minded, relaxed and authentic natures of Prince Harry, and Megan, Duchess of Sussex.  

Truth be told, dear critical-reader, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's free-spiritedness, resonate with millions of the citizens of Commonwealth member-nations, worldwide - most definitely a positive for the UK Monarchy in a world now embracing diversity.  

Those selfsame millions of citizens of Commonwealth member-nations, across the globe, are put off, by the now-ridiculous stiff upper lip grandness, of yesteryear, typified by some of the sombre public appearances of the current British Monarch, HRH King Charles111, his Queen Consort, HRH Queen Camila, and the current Prince and Princess of Wales, HRH Prince William and HRH Princess Katherine, which remind them of the many cruel-negatives of Britain's unparalleled pillaging-imperialism, truth be told. 

Furthermore, are virtually all today's progeny of once-powerful European Monarchies, with negative colonial-bagage, not exactly like Harry and Megan, we ask - so what crime did they commit by falling in love and marrying ? Haaba.  

The question is: Why have Britain's blinkered legacy media, jam-packed with narrow-minded closet-racists, it ought to be pointed out, refused to see that a UK led by a wealthy Prime Minister, with Indian heritage, heading a cabinet with powerful mostly-wealthy Black, White, Brown and Mixed-race right-wingers, in it, is a reflection of today's multiracial Britain, and, yet still continue to rather focus on hounding Harry and Megan, even though they have relocated to the U. S., for precisely that reason?  

What secret agenda drives that, one wonders? Is enough never enough for them, when it cone to Harry and Megan? Have they no consciences, at all? Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiii, oooo, dear critical-reader...

Does God Almighty now loathe our corruption-riddled nation - and thus abandoned it to its fate?

Does God Almighty now  loathe our corruption-riddled nation - and thus abandoned it to its fate?   Our homeland Ghana, is said to be a nation that is  predominantly Christian, in which booming mega-Churches regularly snap up disused factory buildings.

Meanwhile  our National Cathedral project stalls - as state funds are secretly funneled to greedy rogues. It's beyond belief.

So is it any wonder that we have ended up as a society jam-packed with: hypocrites; serial-philanderers; misogynists; corrupted-minds that engage in acts of petty-thievery in their work places; etc., ect.? Whose fault exactly  is it,  dear critical-reader?

The question that wise  and aspirational Africans ought to ponder over is: Might it be the the case that the Lord God Almighty, worshiped by Ghanaian Christians, alas  neither listens to their mercenary prayers,  nor blesses their congregations and their mostly  dishonest preachers?

And,  if this was not a nation of hypocrites, would the  selfsame condemnation of Trump by the presiding judge in New York State, not be considered as  justifiable-opprobrium, applicable to denouncing the egregious-corporate-crookery, adopted as its strategy-of-choice, by the Banque de  Edmund Rothschild Group-backed  and African Development Bank Group-backed Moringa, whose shocking corporate-criminality is unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of our private sector?

Ditto condemn their apparently ever so respectable local professional-enablers, including the lawyers helping them to exploit our justice delivery system, to deploy serial-frauds, twisted half-truths and plain lies, to legitimise their vile attempt, to steal B-BOVID from its brilliant, honest and principled Ghanaian   founder, orphan-made-good Issa Ouedraogo, in broad daylight, I ask, dear critical-reader? What Church is denouncing Moringa and its  respectable local enablers, as we speak, dear critical-reader?

And, if God Almighty had not abandoned our homeland Ghana,  because he hates our dishonesty, would this be a nation in which millions experience hunger on a daily basis, while a powerful and greedy few, keep huge sums of foreign currency and trillions of  our local junk currency, the  Ghana Cedi, in their palatial mansions, and in huge water tanks, purchased to store stolen public funds, for example?

Above all, let no Christian in today's Ghana,  think that the revolution sweeping across the Sahelian region,  will pass us by: for, Ghana too, will experience a bloody revolution after the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, if an attempt is made to rig it.

That revolution will make that of June 4th, 1979 look like child's play -  and will exact retribution from all  the big-thieves-in-high-places, in society,  whose unfathonable-greed, and egregious-dishonesty, contributed to the bankrupting of our homeland Ghana.

The  elite-gravy-train that is the 4th Republic, will then finally be discarded and end up on the rubbish heap of history.

God has definitely  abandoned Ghana, ooooo, Ghanafuor  -   and no amount of fasting and all-night high-decibel shouted-prayers, will make any difference. The question is: Does God Almighty now  loathe our corruption-riddled nation - and thus abandoned it to its fate?

Irony of ironies: A plutocratic-kleptocracy led by a personally incorruptible President

Dear critical-reader, life is indeed full of ironies: Who would have thought that Ghana's 4th Republic, a people-centred democracy,  whose  birthing was guided by idealistic Nkrumahist revolutionaries, determined to ensure that sovereignty would permanently  reside in the masses, would one day be hijacked, and ruthlessly exploited for personal gain, by a powerful few, in an unprecedented kleptocratic friends-and-family corruption-riddled regime of arrogant-pillagers?

Who would thought, dear critical-reader, when it began its tenure in January 2021, that a regime dominted by the  progeny of Dr. J. B. Danquah, elected to power in December 2020, in a regime led by his descendants' most Nkrumahist scion, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,  whom Ghanaians believed to be personally incorruptible, would eventually  bankrupt Mother Ghana, as a result of unparalleled
state-capture  looting, on a scale never seen before, since Ghanaians rid themselves of the British occupiers of their country,  in March, 1957?

Who would have thought, dear critical-reader,  in January, 2021, that under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's leadership, far from state-capture rent-seeking elite-grand-larceny being finally reigned in, and halted, it would rather turn out to be the most deceitful and corrupt  government-of-the-day, ever, to be elected  to power, in the entire post-independence history of our bountiful, beautiful and mostly-peaceful homeland, Ghana, whose endless smoke-and-mirrors public procurement insider-deal-making, and self-serving borrowing-spree, would eventually bankrupt Mother Ghana? Such is life: full of ironies - a plutocratic-kleptocracy led by a personally incorruptible President.

Africa's younger generations must rid the continent of foreign domination

Dear critical-reader, the question to ponder over is: What is required to empower Africa's younger generations to free Mother Africa from foreign domination permanently  -  now, not tomorrow? Full stop.

That said, now that the Great-Awakening is underway,  as a prelude-requirement to ushering in the African Renaissance, the continent requires strong, suitably-aware, young passionate and strong-willed world-class leaders with cosmopolitan outlooks, to end foreign domination of the continent.

It is those new, no-nonsense younger generation leaders, who will bring a swift end, to the abominable and intolerable pillaging of our natural resources, by outsiders with hidden-agendas.

In that regard, as wise and aspirational beings, it is vital that Africa's younger generations take all the needed steps, to swiftly rid Mother Africa of all her older generations of  puppet leaderships.

Those puppet older generation of leaders,  are in power solely to serve the vital interests of foreign powers, as fifth-columnist-lackies,  because it enriches their family-favourites and their state-capture rent-seeking regime-crony-tycoon friends: who bankroll them endlessly, with never-ending-streams of 3tuomu 3y3 suum kickbacks, dear critical-reader. Enough is enough. Africa must free itself from foreign domination  forever - now, not tomorrow. Full stop. Haaba.

West African militaries: Overthrow any leader who orders an invasion of Niger

One is pretty confident that one speaks for hundreds of millions of young Africans, across the continent, when one says openly that one's prayer to God Almighty, every day, is that every African leader who serves the interests of foreign powers, ought to be overthrown by their militaries. Today. Not tomorrow. Case closed. Full stop.

As it happens, fortuitously, we are actually on the cusp of seeing the long longed-for African Renaissance, with the launching of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the world's biggest free trade area, in terms of participating nations.

The statistics are stunning: The AfCFTA is the largest free trade area in the world, measured by the number of countries participating. The pact connects 1.3 billion people across 55 countries with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) valued at US$3.4 trillion. A new global power is being birthed.


The era of foreign meddling in our affairs, and their ruthless pillaging of Africa's natural resources, must now be brought to a swift end, and consigned to the dustbin of history. Simple.

It is in that light, that we must address the leaders of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), now busy, incredibly, planning to invade Niger on France's behalf, in effect, dear critical-reader. Unbelievable. Monstrous. Abominable. Unpardonable.

Before embarking on that treacherous stab in back, of Nigeriens, the ECOWAS leaders would be wise to consult Italian Premier, Giorgia Meloni, first, before sacrificing the lives of their under-resourced and underpaid militaries, in their plan to invade Niger.

If they consult Italy's plainspeaking far-right Prime Minister, Ms. Giorgia Meloni, they will swiftly abandon that foolish and very dangerous idea, which will, as sure as day follows night, lead to needless death-and-destruction, across Niger.

After consulting with Ms. Giorgia Meloni, they will return to their home countries, outraged instead, that France, a nation sucking out as much as US$500 billion, annually from Africa, through unconscionable agreements, such as that which has enabled France to loot uranium from Niger for decades, had had the gall to try and manipulate them into embarking on an unjust war against its egregiously-pillaged-victim, Niger.

That is why one's prayer daily now, is that any ECOWAS leader who orders their nation's military to invade Niger, is overthrown and condemned as a fifth-columnist-lackey of arrogant French imperialism. Enough is enough. Haaba.

Enforced regime change: What should a post December 2024 transitional revolutionary government do?

Dear critical-reader, there is no question that the too clever by half bumbling-geniuses, into whose grasping hands our homeland  Ghana has fallen, will be turfed out of power, after the December 2024 elections.

As wise and aspirational Africans, should we not therefore address our minds to what should happen, if at any point in time after the 2024 elections, it becomes obvious, to the vast majority of the populace (and a national consensus is arrived at), that for supreme national-interest-reasons, and the overall best interests, of  present and future generations of Ghanaians, the corruption-riddled 4th Republic, ought to be brought to an abrupt  end,  through enforced regime change, to make way for a new 5th Republic?

That new 5th Republic, ought to be designed, and tailor-made, to prevent state-capture rent-seekers, from ever being able to  form family-and-friends governments-of-the-day, to enable them pillage our nation's resources, at the expense of ordinary folk, to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights.

In one's humble view, amongst the host of anti-corruption policy options open to it, the following ought to be included, in the to-do list, of any transitional revolutionary  regime, ruling Ghana temporarily, after the enforced regime change, while the drawing up of a new constitution to bedrock the 5th Republic proceeds apace.

In tandem with that, dear critical-reader, the transitional
revolutionary government must carry out a ruthless house-cleaning-exercise, similar to that of June 4, 1979  -  to severely punish all those who participated in the brutal gang-rape of Mother Ghana, during the 4th Republic:

1) Top priority, must be the swift nationalisation, of all privately held gold holdings, both in Ghana and overseas, owned by individuals and  corporates  -  unless holders can prove, beyond all reasonable doubt  (to investigators and the law courts), that their gold holdings were acquired without abusing any  of  regulatory officialdom's exploration licensing regimes: to cloak the massive destruction of forest reserves (a crime against hard--of-hearing humanity, no less), to mine gold illegally, covertly bankrolled with sales of bushcut chainsaw lumber (produced illegally, too), doubtless incontestible-double-whammy-criminality of the very worst kind.

2) The new transitional revolutionary regime must also punish all those who contributed to the bankrupting of Mother Ghana,  and in so doing, literally handed over our entire system underpinning our hapless Republic, to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, lock stock and barrel.

Alas,  dear critical-reader,
under the ruthless enslavement of our country,  by the IMF and World Bank, literally nothing, can now be done, in Ghana,  finance-wise, without their stamp-of-approval - before it can then be sanctioned, on paper, by the straightjacketed and enfeebled  government of Ghana, in a new era of neocolonialist  rubber-stamp-governance, placing Nkrumah's beloved Ghana (now a global power in begging-bowl-diplomacy), under callous and uncaring foreign-pupillage. Hmmm, Anansesemkromfuor - tweaaaaa...

Is a fairer global system the only effective solution to the Global North's border migrant crisis?

What, dear critical-reader, are some of the key measures, which Global North nations must take, to reduce, and eventually successfully prevent, the never ending waves of Global South migrants, from massing-up at their borders,  seeking entry into their territories?


Truth be told, the bottom line, is that only worldwide prosperity, which benefits all the Global South's societal demographics, equally, will end the endless waves of migrants, seeking greener pastures in the Global North (from impoverished nations of the Global South).


The plain truth, dear critical-reader, is that the vast majority of migrants seeking entry into the Global North, are economic migrants, plain and simple. Full stop. Case closed.


Clearly, the time has now come to end the unfair, one-way-street something-for-nothing-cunning, underlying the current model of humanity's global economic model, which enable the world's richest nations to pillage the natural resources of less developed nations, with total impunity.


That unfair and unjust economic model, must now be consigned to the dustbin of history. France, for example, was literally stealing, in broad daylight, Niger's high grade uranium - using an egregious unconscionable-agreement, which made it possible (till Niger unilaterally boldly cancelled  it just recently), for French entities to get away with buying Niger's uranium for virtually zilch, during the entire period, since Niger was granted independence by France.


That unedifying shamefull-story, is repeated daily, too, in all the former French colonies in Africa, unfortunately.


Why then are the leaders of Global North nations, surprised, when migrants from Africa nations, which are currently being robbed by perfidious France, turn up at their borders?


For what its worth, in one's humble opinion, that crisis now being witnessed at Global North border towns, will only end, when the world sees the successful transformation of all the Global South's societal demographics, into well-off ones.


And, for that to happen, tax breaks by Global North governments, for the world's most innovative private sector patient investors, enabling them to provide longterm low interest funds, to the Global South's most impactfull ethically-bedrocked fairtrade entities, run by the most honest and brilliant local private sector entrepreneurs, such as Ghana's. Issa Ouedraogo's B-BOVID.


Empowering such innovative world-class local entrepreneurs, will be pivotal in creating prosperity across the Global South. Ditto passage of legislation by Global North governments, abolishing tax havens worldwide.


Such a development, will prevent crooked Global North venture capital fund managers, such as Moringa, which is apparently backed by the world's wealthiest family, the Rothschilds, from using offshore tax haven domiciled entities, to steal and gut out, the best class-leading local Global South businesses they partner.


Finally, the question we must all ponder over, dear critical-reader, is: To end the endless waves of Global South migrants seeking entry into the jurisdictions of their sovereign territories, are Global North governments willing to help create a fairer global economic system that will underpin worldwide prosperity?


They can't eat their cake and still have it. Even little school children across the globe know that. Only a fairer global system will end the endless waves of Global South migrants seeking entry into the Global North. Full stop. Case closed.
