SATURDAY MORNING HANGOVER BLUES-Spoilers’ Republic

Ghana faces crises across industries, telecoms, media, churches, and leadership, with galamsey, labor strikes, and corruption contributing to widespread national decline.

Kwame Rasta
Oct 12, 2024

Peeved as Rasta is, we’ll try as much as possible to keep a level head here today. We should have been be in a state of emergency but it’s been business as usual. Spoilers as we can be.

Before anything, tell the corporate entities  in the Republic to just leave us alone by sending messages when it’s customer care week. When their customer care is shambolic.

Why should it take about two hours to be able to get someone on their customer care lines. The telecoms are worse. You’ll call saaa…Aba!

Ibi Ghana we dey!

Osagyefo built a lot of industrial structures for this Republic of our death. Sixty seven years down the line, how many are surviving? We’ve spoilt it all. The few existing ones are in one crisis or the other. The Akosombo dam, the motorway and not to talk of all the other industries that are now in  shambles or operating on a low budget. Spoilers Republic.

But ibi Ghana we dey!!!

Look at our air waves. Radio and television stations are just broadcasting whatever they want without due recognition to moral standards. We have contaminated it all. Scams paa be dis?

Even the churches are scamming innocent people. Some church leaders claiming to be what they’re not. Fake prophecies upon fake prophecies, depending on who pays more. We’ve spoilt the sanctity of the church.

In truth everything in our national lives have been denigrated to the lowest disgraceful point.

Ibi Ghana we dey!!

What? You want me to talk about this? Again? Well, we will, in another dimension.

This galamsey issue has become so topical for the past two weeks or so and organized labor decided to embark on a strike. A landmark strike in this Republic of our death. and what happened? Suliya!!

It’s normal to call off a strike.  Even before it begins. But the surprising thing is how come that organized labour went  to the last meeting with a prepared (prepaid)

speech of calling of the strike? That is the confusion. And in so doing they give room for suspicion to the citizens of the Republic.

At least, what they could have done is to allow the strike to go on and see one or two of their demands being met before calling off the strike.

Now, every citizen of this Republic suspect that money might have changed hands. And why should it be so? Anyway, kudos to the university teachers for keeping on keeping on. They are the true heroes in this fight against galamsey.

Ibi Ghana we dey!!!

I didn’t agree wholy with the asserssion that our problems in this Republic was a leadership problem. But now, I see.

Shay, Shay, shame to the leadership of organized labour!

Shame because they have let their people down.

How could they have gone to a negotiation meeting with a ‘prepaid’ speech on the outcome of the meeting?

How could you trust My President who has lied to his God, the whole world and the citizens of this Republic?

To God, he promised a cathedral, and what is the state of his cathedral? To the whole world, he said he’ll put his Presidency on the line to end galamsey. What’s prevailing now? Galamsey is now more than ever in full swing. To the citizens, he boldly told us that there’ll be no haircut. What happened?

And as an astute and respected front for the interest of labour, you believe him to clamp down on galamsey when he’s got just about six weeks to leave the number one residence in Kanda? And without seeing any action and you called off the strike?

We’re just spoilers!!! But it’s okay. By the way, where’s the report by the inter ministerial committee on galamsey headed by the surgeon turned politician?

Ibi Ghana we dey!!!

Eiiiiiiiiii…is it true that Okraku’s GFA went for a fibre goalpost from a school in Tema to replace the metal ones at Accra sports stadium? Spoilers!!

My people, Rasta just taya! Have a good morning hangover and an unpleasant thought of whatever you might be eating has all the dangerous chemicals as a result of galamsey.
