The term WMD is something we all know about. Weapons of mass destruction. Abi? And some are sarin gas, hydrogen bombs and all others that are manufactured chemically and biologically. These are weapons that kill people in great numbers. My, small knowledge.
But in this Republic of our death, we’re creating weapons of individual destruction (WID) cum WMD. And the name is galamsey. This thing is killing the individuals involved as well as the rest of the Republic.
And when the bulk of the Republic is asking for it to be stopped, the president of all the chiefs in the Republic comes to say what? Stopping galamsey will create youth unemployment.
Eiiii…. Massa, do you eat food stuff from the market? Do you drink water from Ghana Water?
Maybe I forgot, you’re capable of importing food and water. Good for you! We will drink the polluted water and die and you’ll have people who can import water to rule over and levy as chief.
Ibi Ghana we!!!
We’ve talked and talked about this galamsey menace and nobody seems to get a solution to it. Not even My President who has all the resources at his disposal. Is it a case of weak security apparatus? I doubt it. A case of family and friends involvement? I strongly suspect.
It’s so confusing ooo…. we’ve been digging this gold for decades and yet one cannot see anything golden about these communities. Poverty zalaaa…… As for the miners themselves, the least said the better. Apart from the cyclical poverty, they’re just dying left, right and center. We just don’t hear about it in mainstream news. Well……
Ibi Ghana we dey!!
Protests are going on with petitions and kominini demands. All well and good. We from the Ghana chapter of the World Hangover Associates have a few remedies:
- Setup fast track court and special detention centers for galamsey.
- Arrest and jail all the chiefs in whose jurisdiction galamsey is going on. Whether they’re directly or indirectly involved.
- Since MMDCEs and DCEs can’t be arrested because of their executive positions, arrest and jail all the assembly members who have galamsey going in their communities. Keñ ne keñ, somebody will talk.
- Then we come to the big fishes. Arrest all Honables in the People’s House in whose constituencies where galamsey is going on.
You see it as far fetched and coming from a drunken head but I tell you, when we’re able to do these, names will begin to pop up. Arresting those boys at the site wouldn’t yield any information leading to the stopping of this menace. They can be replaced anytime. - Stop all imports of cyanide and mercury. No exceptions!
Let’s do these and in six months, we’ll see. We talk some ooo…. but
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
So these political actors and bootlickers in this Republic are above the law? A constituency chairman in Tamale South or North of the Umbrella Commune tells the world that they have weapons for the upcoming thumb printing exercise and he’s walking about Ghana free? No police arrest, nothing! Let some ordinary citizen who may be having mental challenges go and desecrate some effigies of some so called big six and he’s arrested. Anyway….
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
So the Triumphant Patriotic Elephants say they will protest if the Queen of Jeans and her roundtable of Knights agree to audit the the thumb printing exercise register as proposed by the Umbrella Commune?
We’re in some Republic ooo, walai! This is a national asset and some party raises questions about it and instead of being part of the auditing to ensure that everything is okay, you say you’re going to protest against the auditing? Is there something to hide? Hmmm…..we taya sef!
Ibi Ghana we dey!!!
Just have a boring hangover morning and a long weekend of no money in pocket.
