Humble advice to Hon. Alan John Kwadwo Kyrematen

As he seeks the presidency, in the December, 2024 presidential election, as an independent candidate, one hopes that Hon. Alan John Kwadwo  Kyrematen will heed a humble piece of advice that one has for him.

First things first, though, dear critical-reader: In keeping with our Y3n 3nfa 3nma Onyame traditions, here is a prayer to the Lord God Almighty, for Alan John Kwadwo Kyrematen's well being and safety:  Yewura Chief,  Onyame 3nhyria wu daaaa, 3nma Ghana moburowaafuor, wai. Amen!

That said, now to the business at hand: On purely empathic human-level metrics, could 
Alan John Kwadwo Kyrematen be described as the best human being, thus far, ever to run  for the pre-eminent position, of  President of the Republic of Ghana (POTROG), in modern times, since the overthrow of
President Nkrumah, in February, 1966?

On that basis, one humbly   advises him, to make home ownership for all families and individuals across Ghana that request for it (in new planned private-sector built  climate resilient green communities, across the entire landmass of our Republic), the central plank of his people-centred transformational agenda, to lift tens of millions out of poverty.

That bleeding-edge policy idea,  could be implemented, within the first one hundred days of his presidency, by advancing 100-year interest  free  generational levelling-up loans (with 5-year grace periods before miniscule installment repayments begin), to all families and individuals who request for it, nationwide.

Those 100-year generational levelling-up home loans, could be deposited into Bank of Ghana (BoG) central bank digital cedi bank accounts, to be opened for them, for that purpose.

Surely, such a bleeding edge economic policy idea, ought to be the central plank of Alan John Kwadwo Kyrematen's people-centred transformational agenda: as it will help boost economic activities across Ghana, and help increase our country's GDP, while creating jobs galore, and generating wealth that remains locally, nationwide? That is one's humble advice to Alan John Kwadwo Kyrematen, and one ends it, with a prayer: Alan Kwadwo  Kyrematen, Onyame 3nhyria wu daaaa, 3nma Ghana moburowaafuor, wai. Amen!

Let us tear up the illegitimate lithium mining lease issued to Barari DV Ghana Limited

Dear critical-reader, even an ignoramus and uneducated old fool like me, understands clearly,  that without prior approval by Parliament, the granting of a lithium mining lease to Barari DV Ghana Limited, the Ghanaian subsidiary of Australia domiciled  Atlantic Lithium, cannot be legitimate  - and ought therefore to be swiftly torn up. Full stop.  Yoooooooo...

The question to ponder over is: Have our current leaders still not noticed how our cousins in our West African sister nations of Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali, are dealing with such unconscionable one-sided extractive sector colonial-era type of agreements with the French entities, which were ruthlessly ripping them off?  Haaba.

As wise and aspirational Africans, let us swiftly reject this monstrosity - and tear up what is clearly a robber-baron colonial-era-type of mining agreement. Ditto stop signing them permanently, henceforth.  Haaba.   

If Ghana's current leaders were  creative, selfless, honest and patriotic, by now they would've learnt from  Niger's terrible experience with France, over its uranium deposits being sold and bought  for a pittance in an unconscionable mining agreement  -  and, instead, would have  approached Elon Musk's Tesla,  to partner Ghana to mine all her lithium deposits to produce EV batteries, in a local win-win vertically integrated gigafactory deal.

Musk is honest and would have been happy to sign a model win-win agreement with Ghana, to showcase to the world, what a difference impactful and ethical private-sector  entrepreneurs from the Global North, can make, in helping to create prosperous societies in the Global South.

Ghana's Parliament must reject and halt these colonial-era type of exploitative natural resource mining sector deals. As wise and aspirational Africans, we can do better and must stop signing  such unconscionable and  exploitative mining agreements. Let us tear up the illegitimate lithium mining lease issued to Barari DV Ghana Limited, for that reason. Now. Not tomorrow. Full stop. Yoooooooo...

Let's talk instead to Elon Musk's Tesla, about partnering Ghana, to  set up a refinery, and EV battery  gigafactory,  to enable Ghana to establish a vertically integrated EV battery manufacturing industry locally,  so that our country benefits fully from all our lithium deposits. Towards  that end, let us tear up the illegitimate lithium mining lease issued to Barari DV Ghana Limited. Simple and  commonsensical. Case closed. Full stop. A word to the wise. Yooooooo...

Can Elon Musk's X online social media platform help create a world without wars and civil strive?

Dear  critical-reader, can Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, social media platform,  play a significant role in helping humankind  create a world
without wars and societal civil strive?

Whatever be the case,  because of its global reach (it is more widely viewed globally than Facebook apparently), it is crucial that X, formerly Twitter,  becomes a global online force for good. No question. Full stop.

That is why one hopes, dear critical-reader, that the latest insights gained by the owner of X, formerly Twitter, Elon Musk, after his recent visit to Israel and wartorn Gaza, have reinforced his view that the unhinged hate that fuels societal discords, of the kind that lead to acts of terrorism, and also spark wars  between nations, as well as incite armed rebellions resulting from civil strive inside countries around the globe, will make him speak out, more often now, against online hate-speech, racism and antisemitism.

Luckily, it is also obvious, dear critical-reader, that unlike most American billionaires, Musk understands that creating prosperity around the world, is the surest way to lessen the societal inequalities that drive millions of Global South migrants, for example, to seek greener pastures overseas. Not many Global North billionaires understand that, unfortunately.

Those greener pasture seeking migrants, are often mostly economic refugees, who are driven  into the arms of cruel and callous people smuggling syndicates, operating in nations in Africa, South America and elsewhere, who profit mightily, from the huge sums paid them, to  transport such migrants (who invariably sell all they own to make those payments), to within striking distance, of the borders of Global North nations, where they are unceremoniously dumped.

That endless wave upon wave of economic migrants, who mass up at the borders of Global North nations,  must be brought to a halt, through close collaboration between Global South and Global North intelligence agencies, and other national  specialised law enforcement teams, worldwide.

Above all, one hopes that the sobering news that Musk's XCorp's Starlink's constellation of satellites, the world's biggest thus far, for its global satellite broadband Internet service, could become legitimate  targets, for nations at war, to destroy,  will reinforce Musk's view that peace is essential for the wealth creation that generates jobs, ditto boosts GDP growth from the commercial activities of disruptive and innovative startups, leveraging the cutting-edge ideas of humanity's  brightest and best private sector entrepreneurs, and use his not inconsiderable influence,  to promote peace globally,  both through behind-the-scenes diplomacy with  world leaders, and his regularly widely viewed posts on his X (formerly Twitter) social media platform.

There is no question, dear critical-reader, that  peaceful coexistence between nations, and between societal demographics inside all the world's nations,  is a sine qua non (and  existential-need), for a world without wars and societal civil strive. In light of that, one hopes  that Musk himself, personally through his  online posts, and his X social media platform itself, can play significant roles in creating a world without wars and societal civil strive.

Is customer satisfaction a top priority for the ECG's Kasoa Obom Road district office, or not?

Dear critical-reader, one wonders whether or not,  customer satisfaction is a top priority for the ECG's Kasoa Obom Road district office, or not.

That said, one hopes that this piece will ginger the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), to do what it can, to encourage the hardworking CEO, of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Mr. Samuel Dubik Masubir Mahama,  and his mostly  world-class C-suit teams, which oversee their regional and district  branches, to ensure that all their field staff members, work hard and efficiently  -  to reflect the new ECG service-ethos  of putting customer satisfaction at the top of all their interactions with electricity consumers nationwide.

The question is: If the other publicly-owned utility companies, such as the Ghana Water Company  Limited  (GWCL), not only read the meters of consumers by capturing the relevant statistical data numbers using cameras on their smartphones, but also deliver bills monthly, on top too, why is the ECG not also providing bills for consumers to enable them verify that bills reflect all payments made within meter reading cycles? Haaba.

As it happens, once upon time, in September, this year (2023), dear critical-reader, one had cause to complain in person, to the ECG's staff, at their District offices at Obom Road, off the Kasoa New Market Road, and wrote a letter to the management, outlining one's issues. The frontline staff members simply refused to let one have access to the district manager, once one's letter of complaint was read by them. Incredible.

Amazingly, dear critical-reader, for some extraordinary reason (which one still cannot fathom, for the life of one), somehow, all the staff members who dealt with me, read, but never accepted the aforementioned  letter of complaint. Amazing. Unconscionable. Abominable. Unpardonable. Unspeakable. Full stop.

What was done, by all who listened to my verbal complaint, along the entire chain of seniority,  was that they asked me to go back home and video the meter reading - never mind the fact that one  looks every bit the frail 70-year old retiree, that one is.

So much for customer care being a top Kasoa Obom Road ECG branch priority. Hmmm, Oman Ghana - 3yensem piiiii, oooo. Asem  k3siyi3, bi, 3b3ba debi aaankasa, oooo. Yooooooo...

Should wars not be permanently banned - in a binding international treaty for that noble end?

Dear critical-reader, should wars not be permanently banned, in a binding international treaty, negotiated and ratified, by all nations  worldwide with sovereign territories across the landmass and surrounding oceans of the seven continents of our biosphere,  for that noble end?

War is a nasty business that over the decades has  killed and maimed uncountable numbers of  innocent civilians, devastated scores of cities, towns and villages worldwide, ditto caused untold misery for those who survive them.

Yet, it it also an incredibly profitable business for some.  A brilliant former five star American military general, who rose to fame for his leadership qualities as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, in Europe, during the Second World War, and retired to become the 34th President of the United States of America,  General Dwight David Eisenhower, was the first to use the appropriate phraseology, "the military industrial complex".
President Eisenhower, like all the best military leaders throughout history, who fought and led troops in battle, knew the terrible human cost, and horrors of wars, first hand, and warned Americans against the baleful influence and power, of the super-wealthy business elites that own and run arms manufacturering companies,  in the military industrial complex.

For arms manufacturers the world over, wars guarantee huge profits - as does the perpetual stoking up of fear and societal divisions that make the purchase of guns by civilians to protect themselves, a very profitable business too.!


In light of that, dear critical-reader,  the question to ponder over is: Why do those idealistic young people participating in street demonstrations in cities across the world, against the war in Gaza, who are clearly  horrified by the brutalities, abominations and monstrosities of the Gaza war (sparked it needs to be pointed out, by the callous wounding by gunshots, the brutal murders and unjustifiable abductions  of innocent civilians including children and elderly retirees, by Hamas terrorists in Israeli communities near the border with Gaza), not rather focus their energies and passion, on demanding an outlawing of,  and end to all wars, and call for wars (and the manufacture of the lethal weapons used in wars), to be permanently banned, in a binding international treaty, for that noble end?

Is there a path to peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis?

Is there a path to peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis, dear critical-reader? Clearly, if acts of terrorism by  Hamas against Israel do not cease, peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis would be well nigh impossible to broker.  

Hamas is totally devoid of conscience hiding its military infrastructure in civilian spaces and using civilians as human shields. Never before in human history, has such total disregard for the laws of warfare protecting civilians, civilian spaces and infrastructure, been seen anywhere,  to the extent witnessed by the world, in the Gaza strip.

That said, the question people of good conscience worldwide ought to ponder over is: How can the world help ensure lasting peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians?

It would certainly do no harm for Israel, and its backers,  to explore a solution based on encouraging Saudi Arabia to  convince Egypt to sell the  Sinai Peninsula to it, so that the Saudis can gift it to  Palestinians to establish a new homeland there, would it?

Once that new homeland is established in the Sinai Peninsula, the Palestinians can, and will, flourish in peace - finally freed from the baggage of past Hamas crimes against humanity.

Surely, dear critical-reader, the region's private sector  entrepreneurs, could be sufficiently incentivised,  to help develop and transform the new Palestinian homeland, into a regional food basket, and high tech hub, to power prosperity  across the entire Middle East region? Is that not a path to peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis worth exploring?  No?

Is Ghana's proposed anti-LGBTQI+ legislation an unjustifiable snooping-busybodies-charter?

What an interesting country Ghana is, dear critical-reader: A Parliament full of misogynistic serial-philanderers, with a penchant for pursuing youngish Slay Queens with expensive tastes, is proposing to pass into law, a bill to promote proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values. Amazing.

I am left-handed, so I am acutely aware of the nonsensical notion across Ghana, that associates disrespect for others, in the usage of the left hand in certain social settings, and in one's daily interactions with others.

Naturally, it is therefore not strange that one constantly worries that it is not beyond the realms of possibility, that, at some point in time, going foward into the future, ambitious busybodies in the world of Ghanaian politics, a significant number of whom could also be sponsored and funded generously, by overseas extremists in wealthy nations in the Global North, which, for argument's sake, are, for example, suddenly infected by a metaphorical
anti-lefthandedness cognitive-virus, and consequently rush to pass laws banning left-hand usage, because they are convinced that it is devilish, and decide to work hard to ban it globally, too, by generously funding the passage of anti-lefthandedness legislation, worldwide, as is the case with anti-LGBTQI+ legislation now being passed by national assemblies across Africa, which are funded behind the scenes funded by lobbyists working on behalf of wealthy Christian conservative anti-diversity-demographic Westerners.

As compassionate beings, who aren't perfect, and are not without sin ourselves either, perhaps the question to ponder over is: What right do imperfect beings, who happen to be powerful and influential individuals, have, in an African democracy that frowns on discrimination of all kinds, in all societal interactions, to impose their personal views, on others, about how intimacy between their fellow humans, who happen to be consenting adults, should or shouldn't take place, in the privacy of wherever it occurs?

Ditto who decides what proper family values are, in a corruption riddled society, like Ghana, which is dominated by corrupt, misogynistic and philandering power-hungry and power-mad hypocritical types, I ask?

Seen in that light,do we also not have every right to question whether or not, the proper human sexual rights and proper Ghanaian family values bill, is, or isn't, an unjust and callous attempt, by power-hungry hypocrites in Ghana, to pass legislation enabling them to control others, using what is in effect, an unjustifiable monstrous snooping-busybodies-charter, in all but name, and cloaking it with references to religious faith and Ghanaian cultural values, to drum up support, for that inequity? With the greatest respect, dear critcal-reader, the proper human sexual rights and proper Ghanaian family values bill is arrant nonsense, pure and simple. Full stop. Case closed

Change must come to Ghana after the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections

Dear critical-reader,  change  must come to Ghana after the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, if we are to avoid catastrophe after January 2025.

A conversation with an old acquaintance, about Nigeria's Starlink broadband satellite Internet service, illustrates perfectly, why we need change after January 2025 in Ghana.

Naturally, one is happy for our Nigerian cousins that they now have Starlink's broadband satellite Internet service.  How marvellous.

 Sadly, for Ghanaians, however, apparently, no such deal is on the cards between the Republic of Ghana, and Starlink, if  bush telegraph sources are to be believed:

According to bush telegraph sources, it is rumoured that  the greedy and unpatriotic folk, who currently dominate our byzantine system (today's avaricious big-thieves-in-high-places), will never make such a beneficial move for our beloved Mother Ghana. Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiii, oooo...

In that light, perhaps the question a wise and aspirational people like Ghanaians ought  to ponder over is: Why so? Massa, the answer is simple: Today's ruling elites won't ever approach Starlink, simply  because the straightforward people in the C-suit teams led by Adjumawurahene1, Nana Elon Musk, don't pay kickbacks to win business anywhere on the surface of the planet Earth, lol. Sarjewah. Hmmm, Oman Ghana - tweaaaaaa.

Ghanafuor, 3y3asem oooo: Asem  k3siyi3, bi, eb3ba debi ankasa,  oooo: if the grifter-mentality of those who now run our beloved homeland, Ghana, and who have ended up bankrupting our nation, while making fat-profits in that ruinous-process (to enable them send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, at the expense of ordinary folk), don't  stop their never-ending grand-larceny-pillaging and looting, oooo. That is why after January 2025,  change  must definitely  come to Ghana, following the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, ooooo, Ghanafuor. A word to the wise. No? Yoooooooo...

Hatred of Jews is amoral and evil - and must never be justified under any circumstances

Dear critical-reader, hatred of Jews is amoral and evil - and must never be justified under any circumstances. That is why now is the perfect time to debunk a dangerous,   outrageous and nonsensical notion, held by so many extremist fascists, and their mostly unhinged white-supremacist fellow-traveller-acolytes, about Jews.

It is beyond belief, that in this day and age,  there are people who actually believe the absurdity that somehow, a nebulous group, apparently made up of unidentifiable super-wealthy Jews, permanently sits somewhere (unknown to the rest of the world), busy coordinating and directing zillions of non-whites, worldwide, and, remotely forcing them, literally, through the ether, to breed like rabbits, so as to become majority populations in the West, and overwhelm their present-day majority white populations, and thereby turn them into national minorities. Amazing.

How can a whole people, Jews, be hated for such outlandish mambo-jambo, dissembling idiotic-nonsense,  I ask, dear critical-reader?

Ditto that  such an abominable sick-notion that that conspiracy theory about Jews, represents, can lead to intense deep-seated hatred of others, to a point that results in the senseless killings of non-whites, by racist fruit-and-nut cases amongst extremist  fascists, in the West, so frequently?

Extremist politicians in Western democracies pushing it, and fanning it, as deployed election campaign power-grab-strategies, must bow their heads in shame. It is pure evil - and vile with it. Nothing more,  nothing less. Enough, really is enough, now. Yooooooo...

Finally, dear critical-reader, it ought to be pointed to the world that in the immediate aftermath of his 'actual truth' debacle, remorseful Elon Musk was right to demand an end to all the online hate, causing devastating-tragedies in families and communities across the globe. Hatred of Jews and other non-white skin-hued-demographics, is amoral and evil. It can never, and must not ever be justified. It is senseless and must cease forthwith. Now. Not tomorrow. Yoooooooo...

Should we not treat Ghana's LGBTQI+ demographics and other much-despised minorities with compassion?

Dear critical-reader, as humane and compassionate beings, should we not treat Ghana's LGBTQI+ demographics, and other much-despised minority demographics with compassion, anaaaa, Ghanafuor?

I was horrified, by what a bush-telegraph source recounted to me a few days ago - a dreadful and shocking story about an incident in which a young gay man, had allegedly been beaten senseless, by thugs,  to teach him a lesson for being gay. Nothing can justify such barbarism. Totally unacceptable. Full stop.

No human being who is compassionate, should back the denial of the basic human rights guaranteed by our constitution, to all Ghanaians regardless of their ethnicity,  gender and  religious faith (or lack thereof), which are meant to protect the liberties of all our societal  demographics without exception.

On that basis, why don't those in Ghana who condemn and target LGBTQI+ individuals, for religious reasons, for example, rather not take the view that it is a matter between LGBTQI+ individuals, and their Maker, and treat them compassionately, whenever they have to interact with them,  on a purely human level, socially, just as they themselves would like to be treated if they were part of a much-despised minority-demographic?

Speaking personally, one prefers to  be married to a woman, rather than a fellow male. Intimacy with a man would thus be  inconceivable for one. Furthermore, one is also aware that procreation is vital if the preservation of the human race is to be assured till the very end of time.

Yet, still, in one's humble view, there is something not quite right with being holier-than-thou, and targeting LGBTQI+ demographics, and harming them physically, for example,  if one is a mere mortal, whom by definition, is not without blemish and without sin, either, and must thus first remove the spec in his or her eye, before venturing to remove the mote in the eyes of  others.  

It is on that basis that one joins those who advocate for ending discrimination against LGBTQI+ demographics in Ghana. After all, are we not all aware that the bald truth is that our boarding schools are the breeding grounds for same sex relationships? So let us focus on ending Ghana's expensive-to-maintain free second-cycle  boarding school system. Case closed. Yoooooooo...

In light of that perhaps the question to ponder over as wise and aspirational Africans is: Could we not stop young people from developing an interest in same sex relationships, if we transformed all our free state boarding junior and senior high schools into world-class day second-cycle educational institutions, and ensured that they are spread evenly nationwide, so that our younger generations can stay at home, wherever they live in our country, and still be educated in world-class day second-cycle educational institutions?

In the meantime, while we work towards that goal, even though we may not personally approve of what is their own personal lifestyle choice, if  they are not coercing others to join them,  rather than hounding them, let us treat Ghana's LGBTQI+ demographics (and other similarly-despised minorities groups) with compassion as a humane and welcoming people.

When will the NPP cease weaponising Ghana's justice delivery system for dark ends?

When, dear critical-reader, will the New Patriotic Party (NPP) cease weaponising our justice delivery system, to target key opposition figures, whenever it is elected to govern our Republic? Hmmm, 3y3asem ooooo...

That said, perhaps we ought to ask, for example, why there is such loud silence by even the more responsible sections of Ghana's mainstream legacy media, who, oddly, are not raising issues over the fact that a ruling-party's appointed membership, of the board of directors, of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), have, in effect, superintended over the ruination of the once-robust finances of the cocoa industry's regulator, COCOBOD? Incredible. Shameful. Abominable.

Ditto ask why our mainstream legacy media's more responsible sections, have not carried out investigations to find out, and expose, what exactly has gone wrong there, which has resulted in the total destruction of the finances of the COCOBOD, Ghanafuor? Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiiii, oooo...

As wise and aspirational Africans, perhaps the question we ought to ponder over is: What was the point of weaponising Ghana's justice delivery system, to hound Dr. Opuni and businessman Seidu Agongo, CEO of Agricult Ghana Ltd, one wonders, dear critical-reader, when, as a result of their hard collaborative work, desired goals of record tonnages of harvested beans across the forest belt of the landmass of the sovereign territory of our Republic, were achieved, dear critical-reader (just a tad under one million metric tonnes, at 969K metric tonnes)?

For those unable to see it, there appears to be a pattern of egregious-retribution, against targeted opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) figures, once their ruling party loses power, and goes into the political wilderness, and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), becomes the governing party, in charge of our byzantine system, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yoooooooo...

Was the selfsame strategy, of the weaponisation of our justice delivery system (now being used to hound Opuni and Agongo), not also deployed, to hound the brilliant Tsatsu Tsikata, who also did so much to strengthen the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), during his tenure as its CEO when the NDC was in power - leading to his being tried and jailed so capriciously, for his troubles, during the era of the ruling NPP regime of the hypocritical President J. A. Kufuo, whose Freudian-slip, once upon a time, revealed the 'fact' that the E. O. Group (which sold their stakes in sundry blocks in the Jubilee olifields for U.S. $350 million - a fact that Ghana's legacy media seldom mention), were more or less legal fronts, for persons unknown, dear critical-reader, lol?

Ditto deployed to destroy Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, seen by today's powers that be, as a significant potential political opponent, who could one day wind up as Ghana's elected President - and therfore had to be destroyed: details of which appeared in a secret Cabinet memo by Ken Ofori-Atta (who predicted that Nduom would head for the law courts to challenge the withdrawal of his GN Bank's licence, but would be defeated there, too, because they were in power!), who will go down in history as the finance minister who ended up bankrupting Ghana, in what is a classic Kharmaic hoisting on his own petard, lol? Onyame 3ntis3 Alata ni, oooo. Ghanafuor, asem k3siyi3, bi, 3b3ba debi, ankasa, ooooo. Yoooooooo.

The question is: When will the weaponisation of Ghana's justice delivery system, to target key opposition figures, by the NPP, when it is elected to govern our homeland Ghana, cease, koraaaa? Hmmm, Oman Ghana - tweaaaaaa...

Musk has paid enough for his real-truth moment-of-madness debacle - let's forgive him

Dear critical-reader, there is no question that Elon Musk has paid a great deal for his 'real truth' comment, penned perhaps while exhausted: leading to a hasty moment-of-madness decision that he clearly now regrets.


No one is perfect - and Angels, as even little schoolkids worldwide, know, live only in heaven: not on the planet Earth. Fair comment, anaaaa. No? Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiii, ooooo...


Yes, dear critical-reader, Elon Musk made a dreadful error of judgment in his 'real truth' comment - however, he deleted it, and subsequently tried to make amends, and mitigate his mistake, by sincerely asking for all hate to cease. Manly. Marvellous. Brilliant.


In a globalised world in which no one is perfect, let us forgive Musk and rather focus on ways to bring enlightenment across the world that will permanently lessen hatred and make it an unattractive, vile and much-despised uncouth-pariah-minority viewpoint,  globally.


Musk's free speech absolutism matters a great deal in that sense. Above all, let us always remember, in our daily interactions with others, that all members of the one human race matter, and deserve their dignity - whatever their nationality, religious faith (or lack thereof), ethnicity, skin-hue or social class. Let that ring out clearly worldwide. Full stop. Case closed. Yooooooo...


Finally, dear critical-reader, hatred sucks, to use a hackneyed phrase, lol. However, the bald truth, is that X is truly a great platform for plain-speaking to powerful elites worldwide, and Musk's free speech absolutism makes it available to all shades of opinion on earth. So, let us forgive Musk, a truly unique and very,  very successful innovative-minded serial-entrepreneur, who has clearly paid a great deal for his real-truth moment-of-madness debacle, and will doubtless learn from it, being such a clever-clogs-type

Are preparations being made for the fire-sale of Ghana after January 2025?

Dear critical-reader, has the fire-sale of our benighted and bankrupted homeland Ghana after January, 2025, already started?

That said, is it also true that Hon. Kennedy Adjapong was allegedly offered US$800 million as a President Bawumia era public procurement contracts inducement, to stop him from rocking the boat (to ensure that Vice President Bawumia would eventually emerge victorious, in the race to become the ruling party's 2024 presidential election candidate, as has actually happened)?

If that allegation is true, dear critical-reader, then
what crime, if any, was committed, and by whom exactly, one wonders, Ghana lawyerfuo, lol? Yooooooo...

If that astonishing allegation is true, dear critical-reader, then does it, perchance, portent U.S.$800 million post January 2025 state-capture rent-seeking public procurement contracts galore, for Hon. Kennedy Adjapong, anaaa? Eiiiii, Oman Ghana...

Furthermore, has Hon. Kennedy Adjapong, not already been accused, according to bush telegraph sources, of allegedly having bagged one of the most profitable Akufo-Addo era friends-and-family state-capture public procurement contracts (a US$72 million deal, measured by value-metrics), in a public procurement electricity meters supply contract, for a wife of his, lol? Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiii, oooo, Ghanafuor...

In light of all the above, perhaps the question to ponder over is: Have the most powerful Akufo-Addo era big-thieves-in-high-places, who have dominated our system and profited personally from it, the most, by ruthlessly exploiting it to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, since January, 2015, till date, began preparing for the fire-sale of Mother Ghana, if Bawumia succeeds President Akufo-Addo, as Ghana's next elected President in January 2025, anaaa, Ghanafuor? Watch this space!

Let's rid Africa of its greed-filled fuzzy-wuzzy-thinking elites holding her back

Dear critical-reader, Niger has shown, by booting France out of her national life, why all the greed-filled fuzzy-wuzzy thinkers, who dominate the continent, must go, if Africa is to ever prosper. Clearly, the time has now come to rid Africa of their baleful influence and end their hold on power.

It's so refreshing to learn that finally freed from baleful French influence, Niger's economy is apparently now growing faster than any other national-economy in the world, without exception, as we speak. Excellent.

Having shorn their nation of the pro-French elites and their fuzzy-wuzzy though-processes, which allowed France to rip their nation off, so egregiously, the radicals now in charge of Niger, must make lifting all their citizens out of poverty their priority-goal, by using the windfall profits from the sale of uranium, to provide 100-year generational levelling-up interest free loans (with 5-10 year grace periods before miniscule repayments begin), to every family that requests it, to build their own family homes, and start new green economy businesses.

The next providential-step for Niger, and the rest of Africa, to take, should be to ban all investors using offshore entities registered in tax havens (such as Mauritius and Luxembourg), from investing in Africa. Full stop. Case closed.

Offshore tax havens exist for one purpose only: They enable crooked investors engaging in illicit financial flows to cloak complex money-laundering schemes, to successfully pillage the African continent, and legitimise those nation-wrecking-illegalities, with blank-cheque victim-consent. Monstrous.

Africa cannot grow and prosper, if it doesn't foreceably end the elite grand larceny, being engaged in by the state-capture rent-seeking big-thieves-in-high-places that dominate national systems across the continent. Those big-thieves-in-high-places, are today's fuzzy-wuzzy thinkers.

Radical action needs to be taken by Africa's younger generations, to rid the entire continent of the greed-filled fuzzy-wuzzy-thinkers who dominate their societies, and have forgotten that an impoverished populace, is a curse, and source of future devastating-instability that will end up in violence and chaos, which will lead to a metaphorical-conflagration that will consume them and deprive all of them of their ill-gotten riches.

The greed-filled fuzzy-wuzzy thinkers who dominate the continent must go if Africa is to ever prosper. Full stop. The time has now come to rid Africa of their baleful influence and end their hold on power. Now. Not tomorrow. Yooooooo...

Why Ghanaians must vote wisely in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections

Dear critical-reader, Ghanaians must vote wisely in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, if Ghanaian democracy is to survive in the longterm. The bald truth is that the  future of Ghanaian democracy  will hinge mainly on the strength of character, of the candidate elected to lead  our nation, in the 2024 presidential  election.

He or she must be able to provide wise leadership that will unite Ghanaians, and offer his team of able ministers, who will form his government of national unity,  focused strong leadership that will help get our nation out of the morass of despondency now stymying its transformation,  which is one of the most destructive effects of  bankruptcy, as it happens, Ghanafuor. Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiii, oooo...

Discipline must be instilled in all Ghanaians, a difficult people to lead, despite their peaceful nature, if their nation is to be successfully transformed into a prosperous and equitable society.

We will need to take cognisance of the fact that in the entirety of human history, no nation has prospered, without its populace being disciplined, and having a sense of unity of purpose, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yoooooooo...

Whatever be the case, dear critical-reader,  if the elected  successor to the current President  consolidates his or her hold on power, after being sworn into office in January, 2025, and it eventually becomes obvious to the vast majority of Ghanaians after that, that the varied-cohorts of ruthless big-thieves-in-high-places, who have engaged in acts of ruinous-egregious-corruption, and have successfully dominated our system, regardless of which ruling party has governed our country,  since the 4th Republic came into being in 1992 (right up to and throughout the Akufo-Addo era inclusive), will be getting away scot fre with looting  Mother Ghana, then a revolution that will ensure retribution against all such persons, and redistributes their stolen wealth after nationalisation of same, will be on the cards, for sure, oooo. Yooooooo...

When the first stirrings of discontent  begin, and gradually  spread across the entire landmass of the sovereign territory of our Republic, no military force in the world, will be able to stop the nationwide street protests that will bring about that June 4th,1979-type people-power-revolution.

That is why as wise and aspirational Africans, we must aim to ensure that our country  becomes a meritocracy that is a nation of laws in which no one is above the law, and all are equal before the law. As sure as day follows night, Ghana will never progress and prosper, if our laws aren't enforced strictly, and rigidlly, without fear or favour, regardless of the societal status of those who break them. Full stop.  Case closed. Yoooooooo...

Consequently, dear critical-reader, the next elected President of Ghana, must therefore ensure that the nation-building guiding-ethos of strict enforcement of our laws, in rigid fashion, is infused into the entire superstructure of our system, after he or she is sworn into office, in January, 2025, oooo, Ghanafuor, if we are to end the public procurement rent-seeking state-capture wheeler-dealing thievery,  which has resulted in elite grand-larceny that has bankrupted our homeland Ghana.

Seldom has the need for wise, truly honest and selfless leadership, been so critical for our nation than now, oooo, Ghanafuor. We must therefore  vote wisely in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections for that reason, oooo, Ghanafuor.  Yoooooooo...

How can Ghana creatively lift tens of millions out of poverty successfully?

There are many paths to transforming emerging nations into prosperous and equitable societies. The question to ponder over in our specific case is: How can Ghana creatively lift tens of millions out of poverty successfully - and ensure its longterm stability as a peaceful liberal democracy, and equitable African society that way, dear critical-reader?

Clearly, it is vital, if our homeland Ghana is to remain stable and peaceful, that governments-of-the-day, focus on policies that will engender societal-levelling-up, which will help transform our nation into a prosperous African country, in which there is social mobility, and in which tens of millions have been successfully lifted out of poverty.

After all, dear critical-reader, ordinary people don't want much, do they? Most Ghanaians would be content with and happy to: own a house in urban Ghana; have another one in their hometown if possible; be able able to educate their offspring to tertiary level (if they have aptitude for that); be in a position to help those less fortunate themselves whenever the need arises; attend funerals and make appreciable cash donations to bereaved families mourning their loved one's passage; chill whenever they feel the need to do so, by partying; going to beaches; visit tourist attractions; attend weddings; etc., etc.

In light of that observation, surely, a wise and aspirational African people like Ghanaians, ought to come to a national consensus that rather than allowing a powerful and greedy few to hijack their entire system, and enriching themselves at the expense of the rest of society, to the extent of even bankrupting their nation in the process, in so doing, the resources of their country, should rather be utilised to provide individuals and families that need it, 100-year generational-levelling-up loans, with 5-year moratorium grace periods, before they begin installment payments to pay off those longterm interest-free loans meant to enable needy families and individuals across the entire nation, to bootstrap their own way out of poverty, into the middle classes?

The question to ponder over is: What disaster, if any, would befall Ghana, were digital bank accounts to be opened by the Bank of Ghana (BoG), for families and individuals that opt to participate in such a generational levelling-up initiative, into which the BoG's Central Bank Digital Cedi (CBDC), would be deposited, to finance the building of family homes in planned new green communities across Ghana, which are climate resilient and sited around core parks with adventure park facilities, in concentric circles, with each family home sited in the midst of walled-compounds of fruit forest gardens, ditto served by road networks lined on both sides with fruit trees? Would that not lift tens of millions out of poverty across Ghana, one humbly asks, Ghanafuor?

We must be serious and innovative: If Ghana's private sector is to become the engine of lasting stellar-growth

We must be serious and innovative if Ghana's private sector is to become the engine of lasting stellar-growth, oooo,  Ghanafuor. Governments-of-the-day, ought to  commit to encouraging and incentivising ethical private entrepreneurship, that sees being tax complaint at all material times, as its contribution to nation-building for shared prosperity.

In that light, if we are to be successful in empowering Ghana's private sector,  then the first order of business, is for the powers that be, to act swiftly,  to get Parliament (under a certificate of urgency),  to pass legislation banning the entry into Ghana by foreign entities registered and domiciled in tax havens such as Luxembourg and Mauritius, as they serve only one purpose: to facilitate illicit financial flows and hide complex money laundering schemes,  by foreign rogues, to defraud Mother Ghana, and the honest ethical local entrepreneurs they partner.

We must also stop the barbarism occurring across areas such as Akyem Abuakwa, where the so-called Okyenman Task Force, is using illegal sand winners and ruthless  super-wealthy  crooks posing as estate developers, to dispossess registered land owners of their properties, including farmlands registered at Christiansburg, Accra, during the 1930s colonial era, when our nation was under occupation by British colonialists.

I speak from personal experience, as recently as yesterday, in the case of my own famiy's freehold 150-acre farmland property, Thompsonakura,  which is five minutes or so, as the crow flies from Kyekyewre, which lies just off the Accra-Kumasi highway, midway between Teacher Mante and Asuboi.

Yet, as it happens, we are actually covered by a legally binding commitment, made by the concurrence given by the then Okyenhene, Nana
Ofori-Atta 1, to my late Grandpa, P. E. Thompson Esq., who paid the princely sum of a total of £5,000, in 1921, for a commitment meant  to last till the very end of time, binding Ofori Panin Fie, to always protect our freehold landholding portfolio across Akyem Abuakwa. Forever. Always. Literally. Full stop.  

How can we talk glibly about the private sector being the engine of stellar economic growth, when such barbarism occurs every time my family brings foreign investors to show them our farmlands with a view to partnering them in profitable climate-resilient green projects  -  while law enforcement agencies  look on, appearing to be unable and unwilling to intervene to prevent such abominations from occurring,  I ask,  dear critical-reader?

Ghana is a nation of laws, after all,  and such egregious acts of lawlessness across Kwaebibirim, must never be tolerated by those charged with the noble  task of protecting our  system,  and must consequently  be halted once and for all,  by the current government-of-the-day's sector ministers appointed by President Akufo-Addo, for precisely that purpose. Now. Not tomorrow. Yoooooooo...

As wise and aspirational Africans, if we serious about transforming rural Ghana into a prosperous part of our beautiful and bountiful country, then
we must all understand clearly,  that law courts exist for the purpose of settling disputed land title claims, in civilised societies,  such as ours, oooo, Ghanafuor.

Finally, above all,  let's not forget that we are actually in competition with other Global South nations for investment to spur sustained green growth that will boost our GDP, generate jobs and create wealth that remains locally across the entirety of the territorial landmass of our Republic that is a liberal democracy and multi-ethnic country in which no tribe is superior or inferior to another, Ghanafuor. Let us always keep that in mind, wai, Ghanafour. We must be serious and innovative if Ghana's private sector is to become the engine of lasting stellar-growth. Full stop. Case closed. Yooooooo...

Which lawyers lost Ghana a case against Trafigura they should never have lost?

Dear critical-reader, who were the genius lawyers, who lost Ghana a straightforward case against Trafigura, which  they should never have lost?
 
How could Trafigura,  a company with a long history of guidance by a C-suit  culture-of-criminality that is contemptuous of Africa and spiteful of Black Africans, be allowed by lawyers representing Ghana, to win a case of compensation for Ghana's abrogation of a power agreement with the perfidious  Trafigura?

In light of the ruinous state-capture rent-seeking that enriches the most ruthless amongst our hard-of-hearing ruling elites, can we not safely  assume, that that sodden power agreement with Trafigura, was, as sure as day follows night, obtained by the agency and under-the-table  facilitation of fat-brown-envelope-kickbacks?

Who were those lawyers who lost a case they should never have lost, I ask? Did they lose it so that  they could be given brown-envelope kickbacks, by Trafigura, anaaaa?

In any case, who in Ghana doesn't know how the greed-filled, hypocritical big-thieves-in-high-places (who have consistently dominated our byzantine system, regardless of  whichever of the two constituent parties of the  NPP/NDC duopoly happens to have  been in power, since the 4th Republic came into being in 1992), operate, in egregious mercenary fashion, from the presidency, when insider-wheeler-dealing in their many state-capture rent-seeking public procurement deals,  I ask, dear critical-reader?

That selfsame Trafigura, once upon a time, dear critical reader, also made zillions selling substandard fuel to Ghanaian bulk oil importers.

Unfortunately, vehicle owners who bought fuel from the forecourts of petrol filling stations across Ghana, had their engines  damaged as a result of its poor quality, but, sadly, could never actually prove that the engines were damaged by fuel bought at petrol filling, which were substandard.

Trafigura's lame excuse, then, was that per Ghanaian fuel standards, the fuel they sold to local bulk fuel importers was perfectly OK.

As wise and aspirational Africans, we must definitely tear down the whole rotten systemic-superstructure that supports the corruption-riddled 4th Republic, after the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, if any rigging occurs. No question. Simple.

And, that hoped-for revolution for positive change, must be carried out, even  through enforced-regime-change,  if need be  -  after which,  as an unshackled-freed-people, Ghanaians will go through the crucial processes of birthing a new 5th Republic.

That new 5th Republic must have as its raison d'être,  the promotion and protection of the  well-being of the Ghanaian masses, and safeguarding the sanctity of a new constitution that protects the Ghanaian nation-state from ever falling into to the grasping-hands, of greed-filled selfish criminals,  bent on exploiting their positions to enable them send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, at the expense of the Ghanaian masses, and their beloved  Motherland, Ghana, oooo, Ghanafuor. The question to ponder over is: Who were the lawyers who lost Ghana a case against Trafigura that they should never have lost? Full stop. Case closed. Yooooooooo...

Lessons of the Sam Bankman-Fried case for Global South nations like Ghana

Dear critical-reader, what lessons,  if any,  can financial sector regulatory bodies in Global South nations learn from the Sam Bankman-Fried case in the U.S., judgement for which has just  been pronounced, with the accused being found guilty?

Hopefully,  lessons will be learnt worldwide  -  so that hardworking innocents-abroad, globally,  aren't fleeced so easily because of regulatory-failure-impacts.

Ghanaians must ensure that their nation's system isn't hijacked by such smooth-talking likeable-rogues, because they spread investor cash liberally, to buy the services of the best lawyers and other sector-leading professionals, as their local  enablers to enable them 'legitimise' their egregious-illegalities  -  because the anguish their fraudulent-scheming cause, actually ruins many families and individual  lives. No question.

Were Ghana to take swift steps to ban all foreign investors using legal vehicles domiciled and registered in offshore tax havens, such as Luxembourg and Mauritius, from operating in its jurisdiction, it would prevent sundry foreign rogues, from attempting to dupe local entrepreneurs  they partner,  through ruinous unconscionable-partnership-agreements, made possible by so-called reputable law firms that ought to have known better but allowed greed for filthy-lucre to cloud their judgement, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yooooooo...

Global South nations that are wise and aspirational,  must definitely learn useful lessons from the Sam Bankman-Fried case, dear critical-reader. That is why it is vital that Ghana's financial sector regulatory bodies take swift steps to ensure that Parliament passes needed legislation to ensure the conducive business-friendly  environment so critical for an emerging nation dependent on ethical private sector entrepreneurship, to power its growth sufficiently, and long enough, to  enable its national economy to underpin societal transformation that lifts tens of  millions out of poverty. A word to the wise...Yoooooooo...

Thinking and achieving a Middle Eastern impossibility

Dear critical-reader, has the time not now come to start thinking about the processes that could lead to achieving a Middle Eastern impossibility - a permanently peaceful region?

Humanity must strive to do so, dear critical-reader,  because  the Palestinians and Israelis are both incredibly-gifted peoples, who can be a real  blessing for all of humankind, if they can be helped and incentivised to coexist peacefully, for generations to come.

In light of the untold suffering we are now witnessing, as Israel fights with firm-resolve to root out Hamas terrorists from the Gaza strip, surely, the time has now come for people of goodwill, and good conscience, worldwide, to think the impossible to bring peace to the Middle East region?

For the sake of a permanently peaceful Middle East, could the Arab world not help the Palestinians and Israelis to collaborate, to turn a new Palestinian state (carved out from ceded Sinai Peninsula desertland gifted by Egypt?), into a prosperous, blooming food-basket and cutting-edge tech-hub, which benefits all its societal demographics equitably?

A far better prospect than the gruesome-impacts of collateral damage from the endless cycles-of-violence, thinking and achieving a Middle Eastern impossibility (Palestinians and Israelis coexisting peacefully and collaborating to help transform the entire region into a proserous part of the world), isn't, and, cannot be, an achievable-humanistic-goal that's beyond the realms of possibility. Full stop. Case closed.

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.
