'leaving-woman'

pal,

the rains came down a bit heavy for a short while and ended up in soft showers. i thought it was just ending so i dashed out to 'Western Union Money Transfer' office. i did enjoy the drops of rain on my skin as i made my way to the place. it was nice!

so i approach the office and i realised the place was rather familiarly dark (and dark places that should rather be lit have become familiar these days in Ghana like always thanks to ECG!) with all the people present on their feet. two women seemed focused on anything but their job behind the counter.

before the counter but only about 3 steps away were two others. one, a gentleman in blue jeans who leaned in one corner as if he waited for just the last drop of rain to make his way out! the other was a lady who rather wore a desperate face and i could have just taken cue from her like those unspoken notices and just make my way back. nobody talked. the body languages were very clear. but i got closer to the only computer on the counter and i did not hear it hum! enough warning now???

well, where i came from there was enough electrical power, so why not ask questions. i proceed without prompting!

looking from one face to another, i put the question to one of the ladies behind the counter. "Madam, are you closed?" and i did it with a mischievous smile because i knew it was just some minutes past 4pm! Madam is busy packing somethings into her bag so i repeat the question. "Madam, have you closed for the day???"

Now Madam looks me up in the face but turns her eyes back to her bag before answering. and as she raised her head i saw the evidence of her private and likely nocturnal encounters with a male counterpart. and the thing about the general attitude of pregnant women which i don't buy came to mind!

"There's no light." Madam said. ok i had already seen the signs alright! but that was no answer to my question. so i quickly modify (not change!) the question. "When do you close???" Madam woman looks at me again and i 'jolt' within with a feeling of a smile broadening on my face because i was glad that she was engaging with a fellow man in private. that's always a good affair.

and Madam answered: "I'm leaving, there's no light."

"oh ok!" i said. and my mischief jumps to the fore of me with my smile still widening. "so you are leaving but you have not closed, okayeeeeeee!" the eeeeeee sound makes a piecing one! and don't i just annoy now??? she's looking at me now and i'm looking back at her and i'm smiling. she didn't smile some but she didn't frown either.

Madam shoots back: "it's 4.30, i close at 4.30, i'm leaving!"

and i dared stepped on the toe of the other lady behind the counter with that uninvited statement of mine! and she would probably have given me a slap if she had the effrontery! the best way to defend is to attack they say right??? this lady might have taken this tactical saying rather extra seriously!

so she comes right at me with a fierce force spewing out words like they just did not weight just the way i love drama: "gentleman, we have closed! we don't have light so we can't work. if we don't have light we don't work. how do you expect us to work if we don't have light???"

she took my attention like i had no choice! i gave it (yes it!) to her but i did not add the smile for strategic reasons! i listened to her.

now i don't know whether she wanted me to become her interviewee??? but before i could decide whether to answer or what answer at all to give she threw more verbal rockets!

"do you understand???" she demanded!

and i looked at no one but this second lady behind the counter! and aaaaahhhh, now my time to 'talk som' (more)!

"oh, i actually asked specific questions for which i got specific answers and i'm ok with the answers. so ehmmm, thank you very much madammmmmmmmmmmm!!!"

i threw that at her with an unending mmmmmmmmm sound that i'm sure will echo and reecho in her ears for her listening pleasure!!!

now i turned my attention to my more accommodating and dear pregnant and 'leaving-woman'. i bowed my regards. she acknowledged and i left feeling all the joy in me! walking back in the rain; the showers increased and i couldn't help but just spread out my arms into wings to savour the the drenching that came as i made my way back!

pal, i just enjoy pulling out the nonsense in folks! makes the world even more beautiful!!!

have a nice weekend!

cristo king!

Pal,
someone is playing foolish and deserves strong lashes that come in rapid strokes on the bare buttocks! 'perhaps'.

we are told it's 'Christ The King' in Kumasi with an International 'stretch' that has ended up playing out a SHAM!!!

why should this happen in Kumasi which is clearly not some deep 'love-me-come' forested village where radio is perhaps the greatest technology ever to reach a people let alone mobile phone with WAP and GPRS and a fully functional 3G network! WHAT THE HECK!!!

so it happened alright! okay! and i'm not blaming the Headmaster (he just needs strong lashes to calm his own thieving nerves) one bit for any wrong doing as much as i would come down hard on the head of whoever is supposed to have done the needed checks and 'inspections' and rechecking while keeping an 'unblinking eye' to ensure that the fate of young school kids are not put in such jeopardy!

now they are being told WAEC can't help them. i say WEAC is joking 'small time' (not big time). WAEC cannot tell me in the name of 'Cristo King!' that these kids MUST only wait till next year (one whole year???) before they can make any further progress along academic pursuit. a big shame on WAEC for dipping their heads so deep inside so 'dogma' boxes and refusing to see that HUMAN BEINGS NEED BE DYNAMIC!!! what the heck again!

so i'm glad an NGO is taking GES and all to court! I EVEN BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT AS COMPRISING EVERYONE should be sued for not being proactive enough! and let the one praying the judge for relief for the school kids include his name as one of the accused! we all just share in these things pal.

by the way, i heard someone once sued God the Almighty in Ghana sometime back. i need to see that man! he must have some insights i guess! ABODAM (madness) is not enough to describe these situations pal!

let someone think and get these kids to write the needed exams so that those who pass can progress while the ones who fail also get appropriate directions.

ABODAM!!!

obama's award

Pal, i actually marked this issue to talk about. i just couldn't let it pass.


Obama's award.
we are told that the Arizona State University decided to honour Obama with a scholarship named after him instead of an honourary degree with the reason the full 'body' of his work is yet to come. AND I AGREE. i don't know why the world is so obsessed with awards for all kinds of funny leaders who have achieved little for mankind anyway! so let the award for Obama just wait.

the last time in down town Ghana Mills did a first inter-country trip to his Fante homeland to receive an award or title of 'Okunyi' or whatever and i just wonder what's the use of all that when there's WORK to be done! and i've not forgotten another example where Kufuor gave the current Ghana Chief Justice an award for being made CJ (and i don't care that she possesses the female genital organ) even before she assumed office as CJ after he the same Kufuor was the one who gave her the position anyway!

and i strayed! back to Obama, yes man, and the guy is relaxing sanctions on Cuba and reshaping the relationship! and i think it's just the way to go! Cuba has survived for so long with all the sanctions anyway when Ghana as free as she is is fed with medical doctors produced from sanctioned Cuba to better the health delivery situation. what irony???

and so what did America achieve with all the sanctions anyway??? it's about time the world realises that these 'stomach-directional' sanctions hardly work!!!

world peace!

100days minus 2

Pal,

Mills has made a fast move!

(did anyone say this man is slow???) Two clear days before the sound of the 100days bell the man Mills calls up journalists to put before them his account.

i'm one of those who believe that the Mills admin is slow! and i hold that belief so dear to my heart amidst all the claim that both the Rawlings and Kufuor first terms have been beaten to it by the Mills' 100days record-breaking speed.

I believe that Mills is slow not because he has not done some of the things he promised or not but simply because i look generally at the needs of this country amidst all the potentials available even with all the hurdles of the bogus Ghana constitution and i come to the conclusion that Mills is slow! so i would not bother like some are busy with themselves comparing Mills to Kufuor or Rawlings! i don't see the sense in that apart from forming a rank pattern maybe!

now, i don't know whoever came up with this idea of assessing a presidency term in 100days with funfair countdown??? who was that? i don't even want to know him or her anyway! i think it's full of fantasy!

EVERY PRESIDENT OR LEADER MUST BE CHECK AND AND RECHECK AND SCRUTINIZED AND EVALUATED AND ALL FROM THE VERY MINUTE HE/SHE ASSUMES OFFICE TO THE MINUTE HE/SHE LEAVES OFFICE. and in this case it's a 4yr long haul.

now, Mills scores himself high for 100 days when we are yet to reach 100days. i'm not sure i'd score him that high. in fact i won't. meanwhile i don't know who asked Mills and Co to promise us that they would clean up the city in 100days. On that score (and i include Zoomlion who also jumped at the idea), they get A BIG ZERO!

i'm no fun of promises like i keep saying but i knew this was going to fail and i just told myself: "let me wait and see" and i've seen. Mills is now saying it's an ongoing process. fair deal. who doesn't know that??? it would always be an ongoing process. or would it ever end??? sanitation is a big issue and i wonder why Mills would play promise with it. ACCRA IS SMELLING LIKE ROT and Mills scores ZERO from me on his own promise. period!

so much for 100days!


anyway pal,
it was a long holiday. what is Easter about again?
cheers!

questions

Pal dear,

a friend of mine once asked me if i ever wondered 'how and how come' i'm understood when i attempt to communicate with others??? and on the other hand whether i have ever wondered 'how and how come' i understand others when they attempt to communicate with me???

i'm yet to find any COMPLETE answer!

but whilst waiting for that super-natural revelation, i'm asking questions.

questions pal, and i don't really mind what type or what time. it may be as dumb as "what is that?" (in which case the 'that' is not defined) or as precise as what is a condom used for??? just questions; else the picture might just be too murky!



peace on Earth!!!

raw in the mix

pal o pal,
I’ve not found it easy to keep my blog for a while now cos there’s so much less inspiration to make me ram-up time in all the mix out of all the squeezing I still force to see to daily asides in the life in me.

so what is the raw one doing this time that is making every one have forced ejaculations??? i can bet the last pesewa in the bottom of me that this raw one really has a mix spell cast on a lot of Ghanaians so called! some love him, some hate him, some are not sure what to do with him and still some would just not have anything to do with him.

as for me, ever since I realized why the NEED NOT to have a LOYAL erection for not even my biological parents, i just don’t work myself into any state of disillusion forced by extra power of man!

pal, to tell you that I wish every man and woman could just say what he/she wants FREELY as opinion or feeling borne out of a tickling libido would surely be the umpteenth repetition of a belief in basics! How much could man achieve without basics really??? a foundation first before the roofing right?

so man JJ Rawlings the raw one, has been out again lambasting man JEA Mills and some other folks for all that HE CARES ABOUT! that’s all. I have my own problems with man JJ Rawlings as per how some of his core revolutionary stances seem to have suffered terrible kicks in the groin in relation to his level of personal wealth (be it legitimate money or stolen money – I don’t care, a revolutionary must always be a revolutionary (i didn't say pauper!)and on that score man Rawlings has a lot of questions from me to answer! and i salute Che Guevara of revolutionary memory!).

but… but… but… he has not gone to steal anyone’s goat, neither has he even attempted to kick out man JEA Mills out of executive power bestowed on him by the people of Ghana. in other words let’s look carefully!

ok, there’s a man called Kwesi Pratt who i believe I share a lot in terms of free thinking with (he’s demonstrated to me enough). He is a confessed socialist but i’m a ‘non-labelist’ (the irony is that the ‘non-labelist’ too is a label but I go with the obvious ‘forced’ meaning of this label). Pratt does not support coup in any form but I believe that the dynamism of man makes it such that in holding true to natural justice it would be JUST to kick out with brooms or sticks or even AK47; a man like Mills should he turn out to be A MONSTER! so we have clear differences. I see myself as just a human being. unfinished!

so, man Pratt takes on man Rawlings for taking on man JEA Mills. the summary (and i think i did some summary is school-> hehe!) of man Pratt’s reaction is simply that enough is enough because man Rawlings should just learn to live like a former president! and the question from me and myself is: 'is there a sworn code of ethics for former presidents by which they must live?' and the clear answer is NO! and sure I would be one of those who would oppose any such nonsense with all my might should there come the attempt just as I’m totally against any kind of control as per what is put out in the PRIVATE MEDIA under any form of so called broadcasting law or shit! what law at all for free media that’s supposed to be free? who is afraid of what he she has done or not done???

so i disagree with any such like man Pratt that man Rawlings of raw tendencies must not be talking waa waaa waaaa! let the man talk for the sake of nothing at all. in any case is it the imagination of anyone that they should be the ones to determine who should speak and who should not speak and on what issues?

Man Pratt asks what kind of man could Rawlings be to quarrel with people even in his own party and yet it's well known that man Pratt himself quarreled with man Nduom of his CPP. so what volcano there apart from inconsistency! A political party is a public institution and must not be treated like a cult with secrete hushes if you ask me!

you may rightly (cannot be wrong as a fundamental right!) argue against or for what man Rawlings may say but why? let him speak again and again should he choose to. he may even contradict himself as per his record and so on… and I don’t agree with all the things man Rawlings is saying but surely I believe there are some things with which the Mills man is slowing too much for comfort; for example what is delaying Mills from visiting Bawku himself and Tamale to initiate with all the spirit of the leadership position he occupies to seek to bring peace to the totality of Ghana! did he not instead go to receive an award of some sort of an 'okunyi' from his own people in Fanteland at our cost???

meanwhile even the promise (and I’m no fun of promises!) to rid Accra of dirt in his 1st 100 days (and I wonder why all the cult about 100 days!) has seen little effort. Nima is still stinking bad. The road near the prime Labadi beach hotel smells foul (and in fact all along the beach stretch of Ghana stinks). and there’s just so much plastic all around us! so why not scream for a faster rate of action no matter how slow man Rawlings himself might have been during his own office terms. Rawlings talks about mediocre ministers and i agree with him no matter how many mediocre were in his own government! just basic truths!

Man Rawlings says there are characters around Mills and yes I believe there are characters around Mills for sure! Koku Anyidoho is one I believe needs some lessons in leadership before opening his mouth waa waaa waaa! so what is fundamentally an error in the non specific but obviously correct statements by man Rawlings! some like Alhaji have chosen to assign names in interpreting what Rawlings means and I think that could only amount overly worrying of themselves since the man did not mention any names! speculation can only serve as a guide, not too much more if you want to hold a man! right or wrong!

what is even fascinating (but not really) is the fact that the some opposition which not too long ago made a funfair of letting us know that their opinion of Mills’ “hit the ground running" was rather a crawl with jerked motion (which i share to some extent) are also hitting hard on Rawlings for coming out loud on Mills. they say he has coup mentality! (what is coup mentality? - seems somebody is always dreaming phrases that only lead to absurdities).

And funny still, even Ayariga (pal, there’s just little sense going on) too who speaks for Mills comes out to say that Rawlings was a trained soldier who per his training does not take his time while Mills is a trained law man who would take his time! What a FALLACY OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS. what sense is there? that there’s no soldier who would perhaps even act slower than Mills or what? or there's no lawyer who would act faster or anyhow more than Rawlings or what??? what shear nonsense pal!!!

some opposition says that all the outburst of Rawlings proves them right that Mills meant Rawlings when he declared that he was the only one president. an unneeded declaration at that by Mills. the opposition’s conclusion can only amount to forcing a situation however right by ‘correct’ guess they might be (and same applies to Ayariga and Anyidoho too for all their ‘forced’ interpretations of the ‘one-president declaration by Mills that he mean Nana and the opposition). simply the president did not mention any name. the name(s) is/are well stuck in his head!!!

again, some say Rawlings is not being fair to Mills! that is fine and I can’t argue too much against that opinion. and many of those also believe Mills lied to them about fuel prices and me too think they are not being fair to man Mills (so we all have opinions!). But my take really is that so what? shouldn’t we all (including all the thieves and social misfits) have a duty to keep our leadership in check for the sake of man and woman! Isn’t that a more noble call than giving out awards with ‘okunyi’ titles to people who take up the duty to lead us??? I’m definitely NOT going to lick no one’s boots and least leadership!!! Pal, I leave you to make your choice too!

i love reading this man Abugri too and more satirical tickles here but i still disagree that dignity comes with whispers or hush-hush only!

let man Rawlings talk and let everyone else too talk. and then let Mills decide whilst there is still talk anyway! we did not make him president with the promise that we would seize talking about leadership! did we?

but please pal, there’s just too much to gain from free speech than pretend to be the only ‘wise’ man in the midst of all the ‘unwise’!

and may the forces just continue to be with us!

cheerio!
