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...
