A Quick Note To Daryl Bosu - A Rocha Ghana's Fearless Number Two: And Bold Environmental Activist

My dear Daryl,

You are absolutely right: Agro-forestry plantations can never be compared to old-growth-forests. No. No. No. They are not the same. And, they can never be the same, either. Ever. Case closed. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana - eyeasem, oooo. Yooooooo...

Forests actually evolve over millions of years, wai, Opanin Paaaapabi, Daryl. They contain trillions of dollars worth of yet-to-be-discovered medicinal plants, too, ooooo, wai.

Furthermore, with the benefit of COVID-19-hindsight, is it not obvious, and crucial, that as an aspirational and wise African people, we preserve what is left of our nation's natural heritage? Haaba.


Massa, some think me rude, and crude, when one gets fed up, and calls spades, spades, not big-metal-spoon-like-accoutrements. 
 
What is wrong koraaa, with saving the Atewa Forest Reserve, by obtaining bauxite from our sister nations, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, for an integrated West African aluminium industry, which creates jobs, and generates wealth that stays locally, and helps keep them stable and peaceful, too,  I ask?
 
Meanwhile, we have all seen viral videos that make it quite plain that behind closed doors, the Chinese imply that Africans are sub-human and incredibly stupid. 
 
And, for such bigoted-racists and ace-hypocrites, our leaders are happy and willing to destroy the Atewa Forest Reserve - a watershed for three major river systems from which  water is sourced for treatment and supplied to over 5 million Ghanaians across southern Ghana? Haaba. Incredible.
 
Ditto destroy an upland evergreen rainforest, which also happens to be a  Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA), to mine bauxite for the selfsame Chinese who secretly  make out that we are sub-human and stupid? Ebeiiii.
 
Yet, we aren't allowed to  call those selfsame leaders (that the Chinese apparently laugh at behind closed doors for being sub-human and stupid), stupid? How? Haaba. 
 
Massa, the plain truth about the mass-destruction of Ghana's forests, is that that national tragedy, actually represents an existential threat, of apocalyptic proportions. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana - enti, yewieye paaaa, enei? Yooooooo...

The unvarnished truth, is that we are led mostly by greedy, stupid and short-sighted-philistines: serbii, serbii, ooooo, Ghanafuo. Sadly, those too-clever-by-half-geniuses, know the prices of all manner of things, under the hot African sun -  but, alas, haven't the faintest idea, about the incalculable-value, of our priceless natural heritage, wai, Massa. The sods.
