One hopes, in 2021, that we will see more and more gifted young Ghanaian musicians, playing songs of the type played by the ever-brilliant Ofori Amponsahs, Daddy Lumbas, the Obaapa Christys and Diana Antwi Hamiltons.
One also hopes that we will see more younger generation groups, playing the kind of cosmopolitan fusion-music, with distinctly Afrocentric-underpinnings, and also wear African-inspired fashion-styles, on stage, when performing at live concerts, and in music videos, for their worldwide streaming audiences, like the once-famed UK-based group, Osibisa, used to wow global concert audiences with, on their world live concert tours. Cool.
Above all, one wants to see more younger generation Ghanaian women, who are independent-young-achievers, abandoning 'human-hair-wigs', and keeping their hair short and natural.
Ditto, quit allowing their fingernails to grow in claw-like fashion, because they are such a hideous sight, and most definitely attract all manner of bugs, on top too - and rather elect to keep them short and neatly trimmed. Always. More ladylike,like that. Simple.
Incidentally, wearing African print Kaba-and-slit, makes every woman who wears one, look incredibly dignified. Full stop. Case closed. Yoooooo...
The question for young Ghanaian women-achievers-of-note to ponder over, is: Why ruin your posture with high stiletto shoes, instead of wearing short-heeled ones, of the kind favoured by Queen Elizabeth 11, of Great Britain, and which she wears regularly? They are so dignified, practical and good for a woman's posture, too, on top, ooooo. Yoooooo...
Then one also hopes that the new national carrier, will be a public private partnership (PPP), with 70 percent to the foreign partner, which ought to be a highly reputable sheduled airline, sporting a new fleet, and blessed with worldwide point-to-point routes, so that Accra's international airport, becomes Africa's one-open-sky-hub, with very, very affordable tickets to connect travellers to cities in all the other continents, in our biosphere.
One hopes that it will be a win-win and ethically-anchored-PPP, with a dynamic low-cost carrier, such as Norwegian Longhaul, with Ghana using its access to the African continental free-trade area's one-open-sky (for point-to-point connections to the continent's major cities!), as 30 percent sweat-equity. Simple. Lucrative. And, a global-image-booster-bar-none, to attract tourists from around the globe, to visit our beautiful homeland, Ghana. Cool.
Those are some of my wishes for 2021 - in addition to, hopefully being in a position, by the end of the first quarter, to find sponsorship, to enable one start a monthly, 'Kofi Thompson hourly-podcast', from rural Ghana, amidst globally significant endangered forest zone areas, such as Akyem Juaso. Cool.
