Accidentally Kuffused

Pal dear oh dear,
...so the kuffused one was involved in a near fatal motor accident yesterday. they said his car was ran into by some guy as his convoy made the 'usual journey' (borrowing from the kuffused one himself after the accident) to his office at the Osu Castle from his house at Tetteh Quarshie. okay...so he survived! he should be thankful to God for whatever happened to him, had it been death even!

lets ToK INDISCIPLINE:
suddenly there is a rediscovery of folks' voices against recklessness on our roads on the part of motorists. that is good i think...but it is not the first time and i wont be surprised that we will soon forget again that the issue ever came up!

so the guy who drove into the prez was indisciplined and all that. no problem! but what is all this noise about indiscipline on our roads? me think that the president who is the accidental kuffused one is a clear notorious culprit of this indiscipline thing. YES HE IS. and why do i say so?

this guy becomes the kuffused president of our land and the first thing he does is to renovate his PRIVATE house with public funds (forget the foolish explanations and the subsequent so called settlement of the bills by 'a certain farmer'), insisting that the Osu Castle must be renovated before he goes to live there --and this is a man who opens his mouth to tell us to tighten our belts for now in anticipation of better days ahead--

well... not so long after, the Osu Castle is renovated and president continues to live in his private residence from where he is chauffeured (no! wrong word...the right thing to say is 'sped'... yes... sped like a bird at a great velocity...almost catapulted) to the Osu Castle every morning and back every evening! I guess the Castle was not redone to his satisfaction...else why continue to stay in your private house...and i would love to know how much it has cost the poor tax paying Ghanaian to finance this useless everyday-to-and-fro by the prez.

their sight on our urban ways is scary and stupid to say the least! don't TOK to me about security pal...that shit is plain stupid...and i mean on urban ways where there's usually a 'sweat-agog' traffic jam that excites your manhood...i'm not talking about a fast lane or the motorway!

ok...so that has been going on! and not just so...because this CHEAPffour one lives by a major road...he had constructed for him and only him alone an easy way to link his PRIVATE house from the highway...i only wonder what becomes of this kuffused President's Special Initiative (PSI) for an easy way for the cheapffour one when he is no more the president? and i wonder too whether those eyes that easily spot indiscipline on our roads haven't seen this...we wait to see, not so?

just by this same spot on the same high-way people keep being knocked-down and dying by fast moving cars when they only attempt crossing the road because no care was taken about pedestrians crossing the road. But there's a bus-stop right there! and what not a way to create a death trap for poor fellows who must of course cross the road to continue this journey of life and not death! so he knows what he WANTS but does not even see what the people NEED huh! what a cheapffour for a president indeed! he can't tell me he's not head about the many loss of lives at this spot which is very much in front of his house and close to the hotel his son immediately bought when he (the father) became president.

so what am i saying kuraaaaa? i'm simply saying that there is a saying that 'the fish begins to rot from the head'. something like that. indiscipline did not begin today and it will hardly reduce if all we do is blame someone else whilst by our own actions and inactions we demonstrate nothing but the same indiscipline.

Pal, let someone tell this cheapffour to stop being indisciplined himself...i wish life to him...while we all wait for death anyway!

Ghana too peaceful an Anloga

Ghana is a peaceful country...as for us, we are not violent...we are only so hospitable...and a lot such foolish myopic talk.

I don't know pal; but i pray you come to witness if you haven't already, what happens to a thief who is caught on the streets of Accra. When you've done that, we will talk about how so peaceful Ghana our peace-land is and has always been!!!

We have hardly finished burying the Ya Na of Dagbon and his 40 or so other subjects who were murdered under the 'helpless eyes' of the security agencies of the government of Ghana our peaceful-land. There has always been the case of the Alavanyo and Nkonya and the Tsito/Peki conflicts in the Volta region and recently there has been the case of Ga-mantse and all the disputes about his enstoolment in the very capital city called Accra. And of course in the not too distant past was the case of the Kokomba/Nanumba war that is said to have been sparked over the claim of ownership of a guinea-fowl...!!!

I was a small boy and a primary school pupil in Nungua not so long ago when some conflict of a sort broke out and the people of Nungua and Teshie (neighbours) decided to spill blood over a piece of land near the sea. We had to break school to allow people to finish killing one another.

Well, well, well....Pal, I wonder what keeps some ponk-headed folks making too much noise about how so peaceful Ghana is with comparisons with our neighbouring folks in the West-African sub-region where we've had Liberia and Sierra Leone where limbs were shortened to short/long sleeves. Even Nigeria has had the Biafra 'fire'. So therefore since Ghana has never experienced any such levels of atrocities the country is peaceful. So peaceful. and how so foolish a conclusion to make to satisfy ones belly and hence only retire to bed.

I wonder what it is that makes a man so violent against another man. I wonder if some are just born violent and callous! I wonder! Granted Pal, that Ghana is so peaceful like the chorus the ponks sing, then what is it that makes Ghanaians so different from the likes of Foday Sankor and his brutal likes? ironically, come into Ghana itself and there is this open-foolishness of some ponks still; who claim that it is only people from the north of the country who create mayhem in Ghana because they don't understand 'things'. To any such fool, i itch to ask which part of the country is Anloga situated? let someone cease-fire in Anloga!!!

We live in a very crazy space; this part of the earth and all over the world pal, i bet!

having said all that pal, i wonder what at all chiefs or kings or overlords and all those kinds of social high-class folks who only entrench undemocratic institutions have to offer us by way of development so much so that we can't do without them and hence have to resort to spilling blood only for one man to become a chief.

Until the time that the whole chieftiancy institution is overhauled (make it democratic and let the chief be voted for, if you like) or scrapped altogether, I don't see how so useless they are to our development any less than pastors and such fakers of our days and nights! Africa is not unique when it comes to chieftiancy and all it's nonsense. The French dealt with theirs somehow and maybe we could learn a thing or two from there. And of course the kingdom under the name United Kingdom under the Queen is one stupid one that should be noted as such! Simply put, no one man or woman or fool is born to rule over another...

Pal, the debate continua!!!
