Saturday Morning Hangover Blues: No Trouble, Only Peace

But on a more serious note, the Peace Council had better move in to get things straightened out between the Dormaahene and the Otumfour before matters come to an unstoppable level.

There’s a new trick for achieving proper hangover these days since the pocket is not well lined with our beautiful Ghanaian cowries to carry out the operation. So, here’s Rasta’s recommendation. Shed your party colours before you enter your favourite joint. Then, assume the party colours of the owner of the joint. Talk politics and before you see…..

Ibi Ghana we dey!!

Please, please, and please! Little Dramani and Walewale Adam Smith, please! We’re tired of the free this, free that in your free campaign messages. Enough! Massa, what’s free? Even going to heaven is not free. We are begging, free us from the freebies.

Hehehe……. you see, there’s this Akan adage that; if you won’t allow your fellow to cut eight, you wouldn’t get to cut 10. Now, here we are!
Once upon a time in the Republic, a gentleman stood for his constituents to thumbprint him to represent them on the ticket of the Umbrella Commune at the People’s House of the Republic. He wanted to be an Honable.

And he got it. And was sworn in as an Honable of the Republic.
Not long after, he was dragged before the Wiggy fraternity for holding dual citizenship. This matter dragged on and on and eventually, he was declared null and void.

All this while, because it gave political advantage to My President and his Honables in the People’s House, happy were they to be passing laws and taxes like no one’s business.
Today, My President wants someone to be vetted to become a Wiggy Red Robbed Supremo of the land.

And he holds dual citizenship. Interestingly, Canada is involved. And the Umbrella Commune Honables at the People’s House say they won’t approve him until he renounces his Canadian citizenship. Let’s see.

Ibi Ghana we dey!!

Sometimes, Yours Truly gets so amazed at our false and unfounded pride when an individual achieves a feat on an international stage. And we’ll celebrate the person all over. Yes, we should. But what did we invest in them?

This past Olympics on my mind. Athletes who performed under the flag of the Republic laboured and trained with their own resources abroad and when they perform, we jump and thump our chest as if we invested one pesewa in their training and upkeep. And as they couldn’t get any medals, were as if nothing happened.

Ibi Ghana we dey!!

Isn’t it so wonderful and refreshing that the almighty and all-knowing chief of economics will now be telling us that we back our Republic’s cowries by gold? After all these years?
After he introduced the oil for gold to at least stabilize the cost of fuel, how many times haven’t we had fuel increases?

Now, he says currency backed by gold. Is this Adam Smith of our Republic for real? Who in this world backs his currency with gold in this 21st century? Ah well…. when Ph.Ds are talking who is Rasta?

Ibi Ghana we dey!! Abi?

See this one too! This chap wouldn’t stop himself from embarrassment at any given time. Two chiefs have decided to have their beef on traditions, boundaries, and authority and you just just wade in and accuse Little Dramani as the cause. For what? Why not Walewale Adam Smith? Empty talk for nothing and nothing to show.

But on a more serious note, the Peace Council had better move in to get things straightened out between the Dormaahene and the Otumfour before matters come to an unstoppable level.
And please, Peace Council, stop crying for money. Those two have a lot of money to fund your budget. Just make the move. You’ve idled for far too long.

Ibi Ghana we dey!!!

When they say a leopard doesn’t change it’s spots, we only hear it in passing. We have said it saaa …. this man doesn’t respect.
You see now, why wouldn’t he concentrate his energies on his bid to be the driver’s mate for Walewale Adam Smith? And tell us what he’s bringing on board?

Just going about disrespecting former leaders of this Republic without any provocation. These are people who are long gone and are revered by many in the Republic and you wouldn’t let go. At least, consider their families for chrissake!
We’re hearing, carry on brother, all for you! It’s your time, say whatever you want. The day someone comes to disrespect your ancestors, don’t complain. Happy campaign!

Ibi Ghana we dey!!

By the way, our request is still on for anyone who has an agenda 111 hospital in his or her community should let us know. And please add the location.

Ibi Ghana we dey!!!

Finally, finally, the Timothy Mahamadu laptops have reached some teachers after three years of paying for it. Clap for My President and his men. Already, five out of eight teachers’ own at a certain school is kaput!
Ayekoo!!!

Have a great hangover morning and a peaceful weekend.

Kwame Rasta
