Be Not Deceived
I'm sorry you MUST listen to this one, for it is the shallowest that would take none of your limited time.
Anything meant to be "FREE" MUST never have a condition, lest it's never FREE at all.
Every Ghanaian, politicians especially, knows there is never a thing like FREE LUNCH but we sit down, write long speeches with various degrees of grammatical "Ini-Edos" (innuendos), call press conferences and confuse the already hyper-frustrated Ghanaian the more, giving hopes, by covering up government misplaced priorities, with the average Ghanaian being the objects of gamble.
We must never lose sight of the fact that, whatever goes up must come down, which should be the hallmark of our willingness to be true patriots at all cost, whether or not it spells our chances of losing our political prestige. The 'choice' to not do what is "right" by the masses, sets us up for gross failure, as regards selflessness, which is core of the many essential qualities of true leadership.
I have a strong faith in the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to be the man to close chapter on all books, with records, of "your government did that, my government does this" feats, which is obviously the major accomplishments of the Ghanaian democratic practices, sixty years on, after independence.
It is, without a doubt, very much appalling, how decisions regarding the Ghanaian setup, moving forward into a possible hope-laden future, are made without regards to "What Ghana Needs", as all major policies of this government, so far, have all been about what someone "Feels" or "Thinks" will work for the country, simply because such policies have success stories in some other countries.
Those of us who never even had the chance to study Computer Science in prestigious educational institutions, would conclude, without much of an argument, that this practice of "Copy and Paste" of policies, by people we put faith in and entrust with the power to make positive change be felt in this country, by all, is truly an undefined 'machine language', as it is often called by the IT experts. Such things often output what any computer will print as "ERRORS".
I do not have the luxury to speak for all Ghanaians out there but I would love it, so very much, if, one day, government decides to get down from its high horses and take a walk with the Ghanaian elephants from the streets. The best ideas, to pull Ghana out of this socio-economic quicksand, are out there on the streets, and the earlier someone starts wearing shoes that are ONLY fit for the Ghanaian soil structure, the better the hopes of taking strides that would be firm and giant enough, to catapult, even the most minutest of Ghanaian efforts, into the future, ahead of our time.
May God bless our homeland Ghana and make us bold, confident and strong, when even the shortest gentleman takes a bold giant step into the future of Ghanaians, which shall be the only act worthy of patriotic fellowship.
Akpe.
