If there was a single word to describe the state of affairs in this Republic of our death, it hasn’t been coined yet. Amazing, interesting, ridiculous, chaotic, visionless and absurdity, all crammed together, is how it feels in the Republic.
Take an hour or two walk around town on a Saturday morning and repeat same on the same route on the following Sunday. You’ll see what Yours Truly means. What you’ll see and hear will be different when you take that same route in a car. Try it out!
Anyway, ibi Ghana we dey!
Presidents all over the world make mistakes when making public speeches and we all laugh and it ends there. But these days My President’s comments on some issues are just ‘some ways’.
The personal views of My President on the Founder’s or Founder’s Day is a cross for him and his family. The whole world knows it’s Osagyefo. Plain and simple!
Then came this Agyapadie document comments. This document had been in circulation for what five or six years?
The good citizens rubbished it, but when events stipulated in the document began to play out, citizens began seeing some correlation and started the usual noise.
And My President won’t do what we all did at Sunday school – no talking! Rather he comes out to say it was fabricated to tarnish his political career or carrier?
There’s nothing left to do again, Massa. Just relax and wait for the almighty ex-gratia. For your information, 500 cedis worth of cassava these days can easily be slipped under a passenger’s seat or comfortably be put in the boot and wouldn’t need the carrier on top of the Republic’s car, unlike a few years back. Ask your mate!
As for the recent one, Massa, citizens too dey think ooo… Ah what does he take us for? This young Honable broke the news of the sale of the hotels and was making noise all over from one TV station to another radio station.
Then all of a sudden SSNIT came out to justify the sale. Which means it was true. And this young man wouldn’t rest, releasing documents upon documents. Then NPRA came to stop SSNIT from continuing the deal from going through.
What didn’t the Republic hear from the communicators of the Triumphant Patriotic Elephants about this deal? Then, in a surprise u-turn, the NPRA gives the green light for the sale to go on.
And this Honable won’t give gabba! He mobilizes a demonstration involving all manner of concerned citizens and the result was a halt to the sale of the hotels. Buyers withdrew and the sellers closed shop.
The will of the people triumphed as always, and all this while My President didn’t lift a finger nor open his lips. Then today, he tells us that it was unnecessary?
Massa, come again! And when you’re coming, keep in mind that citizens also have that fat in their skulls that can process information. Aba!!
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
Okay, so this year’s campaign is a tirade of free promises. Now I get it. As for we the citizens of this Republic of our death, free this and free that is the noose that can be used to capture us. Abi?
Let’s ask the two who claim to be ordained as the next occupants of the Republic’s number one residence in Kanda why isn’t any of them talking about how to salvage the economy?
Did any parent ask for free academic user fees?
Did any citizen ask for buying phones and paying one cedi a month?
Has any teacher petitioned for cars on credit?
Enter the catcher of idols with free electricity. Who has asked for it?
All the the citizens want is dropping all those obnoxious taxes brought unto us by My President’s cousin who is always in white apparel and quoting scriptures. Also, prudent economic managers and not just boasting of having the men.
Free campaign advice for Walewale Adam Smith. Desist from promises. List the thousand and one promises; most of which did not see the light of day which you made before coming into office.
Tell the people why this and that did not materialise. Not the fake COVID 19 and Russia and Ukraine war. Be candid with the citizens and you may obtain better results. Besides, you’re in a unique position as one in office and a candidate at the same time. So your messages should be different from the others. And please, statistics don’t put food on the table. Ditch them!
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
Over $3m is being tossed like ping pong in the Republic? We ain’t seen nothing yet. Paris Olympics accounts is coming. People go explain taya!!
And we hear there’s still withdrawals ongoing on the account months after the All African Games has ended.
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
You see how low level public servants (account clerks and teachers) are being told point blank about the nokofio they embezzled by the PAC at the People’s House? These are thousands of cedis ooo…. hmmm.
The big boys and institutions that can’t account for millions are walking Ghana free. Big man sweet in this Republic of our death.
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
And who says signing an election peace pact is a guarantee that there’ll be no violence? And who says not signing means there’ll be violence?
Haven’t we seen violence in the years that these peace pacts were signed during elections in this Republic?
Leave the General and his Umbrella Commune alone. If they won’t sign, it’s not by force. Abi?
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
The Honable Ayariga says he knows a lot of our presidential candidates have been banned from the UK and the US. And he thinks it’s bad?
Please let him know that he had better get the list out pronto. And while at it, he should get himself banned from as many countries as he can, if he wants to win. Because Massa, this time around, we want a President who won’t spend our monies travelling abroad ‘bahart’. And on top of that go borrowing like nobody’s business. We’ll all be here and suffer our national poverty or enjoy national prosperity together.
Even at the slightest stomach ache and and they’re already in Kotoka ready to fly out.
Ibi Ghana we all go dey!!!
Have a wonderful Saturday Morning and a weekend of finding that one word that can aptly describe the state of the Republic.
