In the end, honest and patriotic media professionals, will save Ghanaian democracy from being destroyed, by endemic high-level corruption. That is why we must all pray that God Almighty blesses the Manassah Azures of the Ghanaian media world. What a difference those brave young and patriotic investigative journalists make for the well-being of Mother Ghana.
Sadly, the plain truth about our nation, is that the selfsame powerful vested interests, robbing Mother Ghana blind, have actually succeeded in turning both the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), into cash-hungry and cash-dependant criminal-syndicates. Full stop.
Thus, to successfully stand up to their amazing-stealth-power and influence, media professionals in Ghana (worried about that the miasma slowly but surely enveloping Ghanaian democracy), must, perforce, ally themselves, with progressive media organisations, overseas, such as the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). Simple.
Above all, every dedicated and patriotic young media professional in Ghana, who is keen to specialise in investigative journalism, needs to understand clearly, that being overly-materialistic, isn't a character-trait, which makes for good investigative journalism practice, in Ghana, koraaa, ooooo. Yoooooo...
Naturally, having indepedent means, helps somewhat - if powerful thieves-in-high-places don't succeed in targeting that source of income, too, that is. Hmmm, Oman Ghana, enti yeweiye, paaaa, enei? Asem kesie bi, ebeba debi, ankasa, oooo. Yoooooo...
It might interest the Manassah Azures to know that some of the assets, in my own family's considerable freehold-landholding, in Ghana's Eastern Region, have been under attack by illegal loggers, illegal gold miners and illegal sandwinners, all sponsored by powerful people, simply to impoverish moi, for decades now.

That is how come 'orders-from-above', have resulted in the creation of a number of gold concessions in our 14-square mile Akyem Juaso freehold upland evergreen rainforest property - which is part of an area of the Atewa Range, designated a Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA)
Yet, we plan to transform that particular freehold rainforest asset, into a living laboratory, and global centre of excellence, for biodiversity researchers, by building what will be the world's longest forest canopy walkway (1000 metres long with 19 bridges), as the centrepiece attraction, in a community-based conservation-through-ecotourism initiative. Hmmmm, eyeasem, oooo...
The question is: How come officials of sundry regulatory bodies, boldly took over our privately-owned freehold rainforest property, and handed it over to other private entrepreneurs (and small-scale community-gold-miners), to mine gold in, without recourse to us, the bonafide owners (since 1921, from the British colonial era)? Because they boldly speak truth to power, one's prayer, is that God Almighty blesses, guides and protects the Mannasah Azures of Ghana's media landscape, always. Case closed. Full stop. Cool.
