Pal dear,
word around town says "tain will tell" instead of the well known "time will tell" [note: (Tain is pronounced, something like 'tine')]!
so comes the political Showdown In Little Tain! ...i pity the poor folks who have to now bear the invasion of all sorts of people in their normal lives with so much at stake on a thin line between peace and war!
Landslide:
Pal, I don't think anyone should be myopic at all about the 2008 results in Ghana! the run-off produced a clear landslide victory for the old man Prof. Atta Mills! what??? am i crazy? no pal, i'm not crazy but i'm crazy still...but i'm not blind to the clear sight of all the baloon of figures from the Ashanti Region (amidts all the untrusted results from the volta region as well) that have made the totals look like it's just so close!
Let's look at it again...close...closer...closely... a whooping 8 out of 10 regions voted for Mills and with good percentage leads! that leaves Nana Addo with only 2 regions. That is whooping! And out of the remaining 2 for Nana Addo his own home region which is the Eastern Region was hotly contested and the results there were almost split! That leaves Nana with only Ashanti Region which he won clearly (amidst the baloons that make nonsense of his win there anyway)!
so a good read into the dynamics of the electoral results would clearly tell you that this elections was not and is not one that is too close to call. If i were Nana Addo, and i was declared winner of this elections i would be very worried...too worried! why? because it's clear that i don't have majority support in clearly 8 regions out of 10. that should be worrying enough! So again if i was Nana Addo, and given that everything points out that Atta Mills has won this elections i wouldn't play fool hardy with a strong head and pretend that only 'tain can tell'! I would have conceded!
Concede??:
but pal, thankfully i'm not Nana and so i'm sitting in my little conner feeling proud about the votes i caste for the first and second time ever in my life while he is insisting and pretending that it's only a 'showdown in little tain' that can give Ghana president!
but you see pal, some funny part of me also wishes Nana not to concede anyway so that he could get a sound thrashing in Tain with the hope that the kind of 'ghostly' 99% turn out in some parts of Kumasi does not result in Tain!
but you see pal, for those who don't know that Nana really believes in 'moving forward' read what i'm about to point out. Nana and some few adamant folks following or leading him have started indicating that 'Tain will NOT tell' after all because either before or after Tain they are asking for re-run of some of the voting that took place in the volta region. They claim that their supporters were intimidated and some got beating and Gabby Ochere-Darko said on JoyFM this morning that some got 'apia'...therefore there should be a re-run??? is Nana a serious man??? is that what he percieves as good enough reason for re-run of polls when obviously foolishness was carried out by both parties?? even in Accra there was intimidation and beatings!
So it's a full 'forward motion'; full-speed without looking to even see whether the way is clear or not. no! it's plain simple-'moving forward'...that's all...nothing else! So we are being told that they believe in the rule of law so want to see that the rule of law works! how not so cheap??? is it not funny that for a man who once told Mills to concede to Kufuor in the face of all sorts of irregularities in our polls suddenly realises that elections must be stretched to the very last vote no matter at what cost???
But pal, i'm not surprised at all about Nana and his followers and leaders. Suddenly all the principles they have shouted at roof tops to believe in (which someone like me realised way back b4 2004 to be fake) are being turned over with impunity and being thrown at us? who would have thought that Jake 'son of the fatherless' Lamptey would today be looking JoyFM in the ass and castigating them for 'projecting' the elections in favour of Mills??? life is a square huh!
There are several clear reasons why Nana Addo should (not must but should) just save us the trouble! but hey! I won't be surprised that the Nana man would call for a total re-run of the whole elections again just so that he becomes the winner! he just must be winner or else there was no elections... what does that kind of posturing tell a crazy mind like mine, let alone a sound one???
AND TODAY, of all days... I STILL HEAR NANA SAYING HE WAS THE winner OF THE FIRST ROUND OF BALLOTS (at a press conference in his house or so) TODAY OF ALL DAYS... this man who claims to have respect for the 'rule of law' does not even RESPECT HOW a WINNER is determined by the constitution of Ghana for a presidentail election! shame! if he doesn't know that is different but he knows and so to claim that he was winner is pure deception. He clearly knows that in a presidential election in Ghana a winner is one who obtains 'more than 50% of the total ballots cast! so what shit dat tok about he being WINNER??? 'winner for the where???'
see pal, i'm no fun off Nana at all becaue i think the guy lacks some 'common sense'! some jump up and down about him...me i don't...not a man who tells me that he believes that everyman must own (and note that the word is 'own') a house! but see i would have given him his due had he clearly won this elections and then go on to give him some rope to prove to me he deserves my respect as a leader...that won't come automatically at all...but more and more the man proves that he does not care whatever happens so far as he he is crownned president!
yet this is a man who while contesting for the nomination of his own party had to rely on the magnanimity of of his fellow contestant to have him enstooled or birthed or charmed or whatever but surely controversially made the presidential candidate of the npp!
THE TRUE DEMOCRAT:
so pal, what do you think if at the end of the day, Nana gets to win the Tain showdown so that prof Ata Mills as usual of him goes ahead to concede defeat! you think that would be end of story??? is anybody taking the political temperature in this country??? Do we realise that just because of the posturing of Nana, yesterday this whole country was almost plunged into some state of emergency with companies and shops closing by mid-day because of fear! has anyone imagined yet how much money the country lost yesterday???
so the democrats that the leaders of the npp are! let's look at a simple scenario! Rawlings we are told is no democrat. ok...accepted! but how come the self-proclaimed democrats are showing little signs of any commitment to their own self proclamations! Meanwhile the evil Raw(lings) lead under some guise of democracy and HANDED OVER PEACEFULLY without hanging onw with any kangaroo tactics of delay when we kicked out the ndc with all the force we could muster! by that singular act, i dare say the likes of Akuffo Addo and Kuffour dare not accuse Raw(lings) of not being a democrat unless they realise their nonsense, admit it publicly and then repent profusely!
Pal, if i was a member of the npp i would be very very very DISGUSTED by the posturing of Akufo Addo! yes i would! This is a man who across the length and breadth of this country is thought to be an ARROGANT person who has one and only one objective in this country and that objective is to become president! assuming this view of him is misplaced, how does he help himself by insisting that we must by all means finish in Tain and then go on perhaps to re-run others in the volta region before the winner be determined...??? how so when we have a very clear case on our hands!
well pal, we can debate legalities in the court of law...but should that be the place for determining the presidents of this country really? would that leave us united??? so in as much as Nana may want to test some of his prowers at the law subject let him not plunge us all in any chaos!
pal, if i don't make sense, then it's simply because Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is making no sense at all...
cheers and let 2009 meet you well...
PS...
i want to salute the following sound minds for coming out to speak plainly of the ills about the elections yersterday when all the peace singers went mute when we needed them most!
1. KSM (Kweku Simtim Missa--the one whose initials are more popular than his names spelled out)..
2. Amandzeba
3. Rex Omar
4. Nana Fynn
5. Ekow Micar (hope i get the name right).
6. Radio Gold (this one generally i admit is controversial) but the fact is that for the fact that i believe in absolute freedom of speech i give it up for them because they were the only radio that kept the people informed about on goings yesterday!

Ghana Time
Pal,
I'm not patriotic. I have hardly been since i found out the meaning of the word!!!
but I just wanted to say:
let all ghanaians realise that this is definitely ghana time!
this is not ndc or npp time!
we ought to see that a few people cannot take the country hostage!
there are good people in npp and there are good people in ndc who all see Ghana first before party!
and the appeal is for these people to rise up and defend ghana by asking Nana to concede!
I would tell you about my views of the elections later!
cheers!

ghana elections
pal,
Pal, thanks to the run-off, i've for the first time in my life done my second voting ever! nice one!
I don't for the life of me trust the Ghana Electoral system enough! I just don't! no matter how it churns out president's so far for Ghana! the word is trust!!!
and i will tell you why!
I know the electoral system as a whole is ok but i don't trust it.
1. We can't trust results from most parts of the Volta Region and we can't trust results from most parts of the Ashanti Region which both happens to be strongholds of the two major parties, ndc and npp respectively!
2. I don't see why the EC allows voting by proxy! that can't be trusted enough!
3. Up till now the EC agents are using 'makola' calculators but not at least pentium 1 laptops!
4. A number of party polling agents and the EC officials do not understand the very rules set for the elections by the EC.
these and other funny ways of transporting ballot papers and the collation of results makes it difficult for me to really trust the electoral system!
Solutions:
1. nullify the proxy system until we can make good sense out of it. just like ropal...don't let that thing come till we are making sense enough!
2. improve on monitoring in the Volta and Ashanti regions!
3. EC must start procuring and training officials to use computers for collations!
4. The parties and the EC must train and train and retrain their agents on the rules!
5. The system of prostesting against a suspected 'illegal' voter is not cool koraaaaaa! one has to only fill a form. that's all. meanwhile the results would be declared and then you have to look at the courts if the EC does not respond satisfactorily!
okay man!
i know elections is just ongoing...and i know the EC man Afari Djan has on several occassions assured Ghanaians...but maybe it's just that i don't see what Afari sees! but i'm stating that of all the elections conducted in the country so far, i can't trust the results enough! that includes 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and let me just include 2008 becuase it is on going!
this view of mine would still be held by me no matter who wins the 2008 polls. I'm compelled to do this before any other time because of the fact that a friend of mine who has his photo ID but did not have his name on the list (because even though he registered properly he did not take the photo ID before the compilation of the list) nearly got disenfranchised because one polling agent of the NDC was not ready to allow him to vote! this chap clearly does not understand the electoral rules. first he does not want to accept that he's not supposed to prevent anyone from voting...for which i pity him cos after all the system of protest is funny!
pal, before you refuse to think that i'm trying to be objective, note that this pal of mine was actually voting for change...as in he was actually going to vote to benefit the ndc polling agent anyway but of course how is that told on the face!!! but hey by the rules such disclosures at the polling station is not allowed therefore it did not even come up in our protest! We were four paddies who went there in all jamboree...two for Akuffo Addo and two for Atta Mills! a nice blend....
thankfully, we managed to explain to the EC officials and everybody that we had confirmation from the EC that my friend was qualified to vote! can you imagine that voters were the ones teaching the EC officials their own rules??? that is the sad state of our electoral system!
but i also don't think it's all gloomy! so yes we have an ok system but definitely not one i can trust enough!!!
happy new year to you pal if i don't get back here in all jubilation amidst the wind of change b4 the coming of 2009!
cheers!!!

my style
pal,
I write what i like...with much respect to Steve Biko of pleasant memory!
I mostly like to challenge leadership...with fundamental principles...and test the space for tolerance...
I write what i like and may insult the action or inaction (mind, not the personalities) of leadership once i deem it appropriate...because the simple logic there is that i do not owe leadership respect...but rather it is leadership that owes a tiny bit like me respect...so leadership has no business insulting me once i do not violate any of our laws...but i may choose...and the word is choose to either respect or not respect leadership...it's plain, simple...and short as that!!!
at the end of the day, i have not stood on any platform seeking votes to lead a nation of diverse people...no! therefore...let no one in leadership DEMAND respect from me...else i would smear that demand in his/her face!
if one day by some fate determined by the forces that be, i find myself in a position of trust...i would change my stance because then i would be an embodiment of leadership with responsibility and so would owe the people ultimate respect! that!!!
what i don't do????
i don't insult anyone's person...for example while i may call an action/inaction of Kufuor foolish, i do not call Kufuor a foolish man...there is a difference! there is definitely a difference between the totality of the man or person from a single or a number of his/her actions....there is a difference...even in relation to time and space...another example, i believe all chiefs are having stupid authority but the persons occupying such positions may or may not have my respect! i choose! there is still a difference!
I also do not tag people without the need for it...for example, if one speaks for the ruling government, i won't jump to the conclusion that the person is npp just because the person spoke for them...same if one speaks for any of the opposition parties, that does not automatically make them ndc or gcpp! unless the fellow in question explicitly tags himself...then of course it makes sense to call them by their tag!
Therefore, let no one tag me! cos i change my mind relative to issues...and you might just be caught on the wrong...no; right side!
smile!!!

a blast: 50% + 1
Pal,
today i wanted to test my principles on jerry john rawlings or tribal politics....and...and...I will surely return to those...but...but...
This is a blast! it is...
i mean this is the kind of thing that makes me erect! up and straight! and i can't help but doth my hat (and heart) out to say tsoooo boi!!!
what am i talking about?
Dasebre!!!
i definitely want the total death of the chieftain system... I believe it's an absolutely obsolete, useless, foolish and stupid (all combined) one and more, that does not give enough expression of the human spirit and yet feeds fat on the people's collective resources under some guise of custodianship! Also, this 'shit' survives on a very ill-structured succession based on lineage! so if you don't come from some 'supreme-blooded' family, you will never get to be a chief! what the hell???
So i don't respect any chief or king or queen...i just don't...I want the queen of England to be kicked out and i want the chief of my village to be put aside to allow for the freedom of man!
but that's still not what i want to talk about...
fifty percent plus one vote:
i don't respect the "chiefly" office of Dasebre Oti Boateng but I and I would doth my hat for this man anyday for doing THIS! that is what i want to talk about! THIS!!! (JUST CLICK HERE AND READ).
Dasebre Oti Boateng has come out loud and clear on this nonsense jargon of "50% + 1" that has come to characterize our presidential elections! with much respect to the man Dasebre Oti Boateng, I don't want to replay his words but even without our constitution "50% + 1" does not make sense by any mearsure! So just read for youself pal.
'npp government achievement':
but there is this other thing, and that is: where was Dasebre when people like Kufuor (who is supposed to be our president(???)) was decieving Ghanaians that the (one Ghana cedi) newly redenominated cedi was higher in value than the dollar??? where was he and where were all the men like him??? where have they all been when Kufuor and his npp has been using public funds to advertise their party under some guise of a "Ghana Then, Ghana Now" labeled as 'npp government achievement'! why not speak against this illness too???
sure npp will achieve something for Ghana, but why not label it 'government of Ghana achievement' (which is even not needed for waste of money!) instead of 'npp government achievement'! is that not a mark of a divisive strategy however obvious or obscure???
I want to see men and women come out bold to debunk any nonsense by whoever just as Dasebre the man Oti Boateng has done! It is my prayer that sooner than later we would have people responding to all issues devoid of dirty party collours! it is one of the better ways we can move forward as a nation.
cheers pal!

begging npp ???
pal,
my blog has become a 'clasico' political...but see i can't help it especially so that i view that every decision a man or woman makes in this world is political however remote!
clearing my head:
just what i've been crying out loud about for so long that it makes my head ache!
pal, there's always a thin line between genuine and fake if it's not obvious. true! look again and you would see! and i don't know what i mean so don't even ask. but don't get put off if you wanna just ask...do!
but see, the last time George Bush sounded like apologetic for his folly-play i posed the question: sober bush??? and then not long after that Kufour sounded cool to my ears in a long while which made me scream out loud 'for once!'
sneezey!
but now something funny is happening...really funny pal! sudenly...all of a sudden after the mighty fall of folks like Asamoah Boateng when even known (to me) npp followers are nodding their heads and thanking God for deliverance from the claws of arrogance...suddenly......suddenly pal, the npp and it's Kufuor led executive are cutting the price of fuel, releasing 'mistaken' prisoners and ultimately going down on their knees to beg folks for forgiveness for votes! (what wrongs done they haven't told -- juxtapose that with the more (the word is more) specific Bush apology).
and yet the sound of more 'sudden' goodies are to play into the pockets of workers...cocoa farmers... and one can only wait to see...so is it true that these npp guys mean well??? or are they just trying to be cunny? only to get back to squeezing our balls (and breasts to square!) after we allow ourselves to be 'bought' by their sudden show of good sense! which good sense the majority of Ghanaians (statistics from first round of 2008 elections where clearly majority want change) have been talking about and yet they have always come back at us with nonsensicals like Kufuor's own 'bring the evidence' throw-about!
Playing God?:
exactly pal...(exactly what? you must ask!) but I must admit that that is not a joke to take... i can't play God! but why? like i said, it's just a thin line between what is fake and what is genuine especially when it is not obvious! but this one? pal, i won't even waste my time any further! point is, i can't be fooled.
but most importantly pal, let it even be that they now (of all time) just have woken up to reality and genuinely so! let it be! then what? then... it is a welcome wake but CHANGE must still be effected... we must kick them out of power to send a clear signal to all politicians that they must not and must just not take us the electorate for granted!!!
and we must sustain such course...any politician who plays the mess with us...we kick him out...and we might have just allow him back after some time when he/she demonstrates enough that they deserve another chance!
LET THERE BE CHANGE!!

Dr. Abu Sakara Forster
Pal dear,
I am looking beyond the 2008 elections!
Ghanaians decided that it must be a run-off. no problem...i'm all ready and waiting...for sure Ghanaians have demonstrated beyond all doubt that there ought to be a change! The results of the first round of ballots more than demonstrate this fact.
The wind of change is blowing...
Dr. Abu Sakara Forster:
pal, I am looking beyond this elections already...i am! Dr. Abu Sakara Forster--that is the calibre of person i wish to be my kind of leader...call it president or shoe-shine! leadership must be befitted with quality and i dare say this is the kind of person Ghana needs...HE STANDS TALL AMONG ALL THE CANDIDATES FOR THE 2008 ELECTIONS, including all the presidential candidates (even though it's hard to close eyes on Mahama of the NDC!)
i just said kind of person... and that means i do not mean he is the best for Ghana (there are surely others)...that means (according to me) i do not mean i'm too fanatical about him...i'm only pointing out that there is an example of quality we could try (and the word there is even try)!
I've already started telling friends and foe and both that look, if we really want to move forward then we must be looking forward...not 'looking backwards'...no!
So far the man has demonstrated that there is some kind of quality we could aspire to! I never trusted and would hardly (note: not never!) trust Dr. Nduom of the CPP. that i have overly stated. i've even time and time again said that the word trust is one that has little meaning so far as the human is concern. For screaming sake, i can't even trust myself! but Nduom is just not it, even though these days he seeks to be speeking some very very very (that's times 3) good sense which i deeply share. And Nduom is the one who made me come to know this guy (credit to him)! but i am a very serious self even though i believe stupidity is a spice of life but for the sake of good sense! (and i don't know what that means!).
But pal, well..., I need not belabour the point here! you just need to hear that man called Abu Sakara speak... and if you can't identify with him say at least 70% of the time (don't ask me how i measured that--i used senses-meter!....meter of the senses!) of the time then i must be speaking rubbish! THIS IS A MAN WHO CLEARLY DRAWS PEOPLE TOGETHER!!
well, let me leave it here for now, the whole point is that, we find ourselves in a fix, with labels flying more than good sense! i hate this shit! but that is our fate at this juncture! to choose between ndc or npp? but wait a minute? in as much as some may want to be bogged down with the labels i am too adamant to follow! i refuse to be drawn into any nonsensical partisan politics! for me it's a clear case! THE PEOPLE MUST ASSERT THEMSELVES TO MAKE POLITICIANS REALISE THAT POWER BELONGS TO THE MASSES! therefore CHANGE is one simple and complex way to send that signal loud and clear! LET CHANGE COME!
but like i told you pal, i'm looking beyond this 2008 elections and i'm seeing persons with the carlibre of Dr. Abu Sakara as people who should lead us! i'm NOT (and i mean not) wowed by him. i'm simply yearning for quality!
I hope to be able to marshal all energy i can, so that i could get an underground network going! it's not about party politics. and i wouldn't care if even he should stand on the ticket of npp (even though i think their idea of 'property owning democracy' is very very and very stupid from which they must repent and repent with a very high acceleration!). It's all about LEADERSHIP and one that casts such shadow is the man called Dr. Abu Sakara Forster!
peace be onto me and you pal. and may we have change come soonest than later!
cheers!

CHANGE
i STAND FOR CHANGE!
for the first time i'm qualified to vote and i'm voting for change!
yes that is what i stand for in the Ghana 2008 presidential elections! (and not just because i'm following Obama - i believe there's the need for change in Ghana too. just so!!!)
and thanks to the most high i have bounced back to life after a short feel of infirment! i'm fit for change!
and it is plain and simple...and complicated...the record (attitude, actions, sayings-insults in fact and wastage of public money) by the incumbent president Kufour is, to say the least, nonsensical! and he has the audacity to be comparing himself to the rest of Africa! how so cheap! how so not cheap when we all know the African situation is a SAD case!
THE KUFUOR RECORD IS NOT ONE TO HAVE AS A STANDARD IN THIS 21st CENTURY!!!
Ghanaians definitely deserve better than a president who would use public money to award himself. Ghanaians deserve better than a president who would call them lazy for complaining that they don't have money while he spends our taxes on frivolous travels around the world. Ghanaians deserve better than a president who plainly sets out to deceive the populace that our currency 'suddenly' (emphasis mine!) is of more value than the dollar after re-denominating the cedi!
Ghanaians deserve better!!!
Ghanaians deserve better than a president who would clearly decide to influence the judiciary just to have political opponents jailed under bizarre circumstances! Ghanaians deserve better than a leadership that does nothing about an Inspector General of Police under whom loads of cocaine go missing from the stores of the Police HQ! I can't for the life of me imagine that that man is still at post but thanks to Kufuor!
That is not the kind of positive change Ghanaians voted for! Sure I believe so. And Kufour should have known that it wasn't that Ghanaians found him too lovable just to make him president! He should have been the first to realize that the stakes were upped too much for room for folly-play! He should have known that had it not been for the foolishness of the then NDC who were also perpetuating nonsense of leadership Ghanaians perhaps and just perhaps wouldn't have look in his direction!
Therefore I stand for change!
I stand for change even more so and not for retaining the NPP in leadership because the man seeking to lead on their ticket claims that Kufuor has done wonderfully well that we must stay the course! That tells me straight that that man called Nana Addo lacks good sense of judgement! and he tells me that he believes that every Ghanaian should own a house! HOW SO nonsensical! and he tells me that he's not seeking leadership to enrich himself because he already has a good job and yet a campaign member and former colleague of his is just about buying (robbing?) a house belonging to the state! (and yet i've heard of the salary complications of hilary clinton's appointment!)
he can't be serious and i'm not too surprised because he Nana Addo too recieved a shambolic award from Kufuor! At a time when human beings are relizing shifts in approach to clear cases of bad leadership like McCain also calling for change profoundly however weak his call, Nana Addo claims that president Kufuor's work is one to be admired and clapped for! nonsense! even bush has started somewhat (somewhat yes!) appologizing for his ills!
So i will vote for change and i hope you do too! and if this change comes and it doesn't work I will vote again for another change! it is one way (if not only) to send a clear statement to political leaders that they must take us the people serious because the power belongs to us and not them! they are supposed to be our servants and we they must know that! we are no more in the age of slavery! human beings are fast learning!
cheers!
