A tale of two P's...

my thoughts served HOT!

When you are confronted with the tale of two P's, you immediately tend to look at your relationship ie if you have one. You begin to ask yourself "what on earth can make a relationship turn so sour?", "What on earth can make a relationship end up in death or a beating with severe injuries.?" Makes you grateful for what you have, grateful for the man or woman in your life because really it can easily turn into that. Snap just like that. And do not go all christian on me and say "God is on your side". The kind of things that are happening these days especially in christian homes. Ummm don't go all Satan on me...sometimes it has everything to do with lack of common sense not everybody's favorite "blame it guy". No human is born evil or born with the intention to kill or maim (unless of course you believe in those movies and stuff some pastors say). A day of fun, a day of pain. Why can't the good days remain, why must relationships hurt?. Sigh!

Doesn't it make you wonder, how we humans think we have evolved. We think we are the finest species  leading the species on planet earth. Yes the good ol' human being, evolving through the times or is it rather years but always seem to snap back to absurd and very evil heights. Maybe another Charles Darwin should spring up soon and explain why we are increasing becoming brutish. One would think with all the education and advancement in technology would make us better....but we are evolving into 21st evil freaks. Maybe it is time, I get back to following happenings in Syria. Wonder how that is coming along. War, poverty, strife all part of the evolution of man. Makes you wonder doesn't especially those of you who believe we evolved that Charles Darwin might have missed something, some trait that reveals itself at some stage?. And those of us who believe in creation....dont you humbly want to kneel before God and ask why somethings happen? Who are the two P's by the way?. John "P"ainstil and Oscar "P"istorious. Two sportsmen, A Ghanaian and a South African, distinguished sportsmen in their own right, millionaires for what they are worth, celebrities and role models in their own right....their bane? violence against their women. Come to think of it, is it a mere coincidence that their names start with the letter P. hmm P must be in vogue...(haha...gotta laugh a little).

Moving along....I have heard all the excuses from  my friends, I call them defenders of the P....yes, weighed all their scenarios and options in my head, some absurd, some believable but my common sense tells me they did it. This is not the complicated case of OJ Simpson, this is clear and straightforward. Before I start with reasons why I believe we are being feed a whole lot of poop, I want to make it clear that I do not seek to judge them. What I seek to do is take you through my mind once again, what  I think about this. (hope you do not get bored). I for one think they are guilty but I do not think it was planned. There is something very clumsy about both scenarios.  Different scenarios all because of a extreme fit of rage.
Oscar P claims he heard a burglar in his bathroom, so he simply shot the burglar four times. From the autopsy, we find that she didn't die after being shot four times, hell i simply ask didn't she bloody scream. A bullet is known to tear into your flesh...just forget about the speed with which it enters the body focus on "tearing into your flesh"! Mercy! I bet she screamed and howled in pain. Is he saying he did not hear, is he saying that she was so silent through it all. It is simply not possible. Not as long as we have blood and veins in our body, it is not humanly possible. She screamed and he heard. Simple truth..he fired away.
Besides that just look at the plan of his house and its siting in such a gated community. High end no less and wait a minute...is he saying that the alarm didnt go off. Wow then South Africa certainly has high end burglars. "Mission Impossible" kind of burglars no doubt.

And what about John P....a beating which has turned into a field of who can deny best. Another situation in a high end gated community. These P's certainly have alot in common. I haven't heard him talking that is not to say his silence means his consent. Maybe he will do a press conference ala Tiger Woods but his wife is denying, now GFA is also denying (why are they now a PR team, if they know how annoying they have become since the AFCON, they will be hiding and whispering behind some curtain). Well GFA do you know what this denial makes you, a bunch of cowards because if nothing at all you, some of you have daughters. Just imagine if your daughter comes home beaten up and the person responsible says "oohhh it is nothing, it is just a small domestic problem, dont say it too much". How would you feel. I for one dont expect you you to get angry and react. *rolls eyes* Well if it was in their bedroom and nobody heard then that will be it, nobody will hear. But this is not what happened is it? His wife run, some say jumped over a wall but all the same she run to the neighbours for help (nobody seems to be denying that bit, why? yes your guess is good as mine) It was the neighbour who saved her, the neighbour who got bitch slapped, the neighbour who was mad enough to do the right thing ie calling the police, the neighbour who is so upset by the twist and turn and wants to sue John P. Yes the neighbour exhibiting good old neighbourly love.
Lesson learnt...when you see a neighbour running and jumping towards your house, shut all doors and hide under the table. Or?

What is the end result of all this...for my South African P...he might get off. His legal team looks and bites very well. LAWYERS!!!!hmmm. For my Ghanaian P, it is already dead on arrival. Because it is the wife who is at the center of it all. She says no it is nothing, what else can be done. She will be told be hush it by some friends and family and of course the GFA (pr management team), she will be told not to disgrace her family,her man and their societal status...blah blah blah but all of this without a regard for her. Without a regard for each night when she closes her eyes and relives the ordeal. All those people are not thinking about her possible reason for enduring this"her children" but it is all good. You can only wish her well and hope there is light beyond all of this. Lets pray she recovers from all of this.
Urgh. I just want to vomit after writing that, it is not all good, it really is not but what can be done. She says it is nothing!!!!! We should leave her alone. oh!!!

(deep breathe)

I have to end this post...before I write something that can make me get sued. As if I havent already.

Enjoy the rest of the day. Good afternoon.

PS: For whatever reason if you decide to stay in a relationship that has the tendency to get abusive, grow up a pair and feed the bully(man or woman) laxatives once a while. The heavens will definately sing the hallelujah chorus with you.

Deal with it...

Now I am getting annoyed. Yes NaaBia the lone ranger is annoyed. We are doing it all over again. Yes we have gone and made another man popular than he already is. I remember how upset I was when Prof Mills (RIP) passed away only for a tide articles to emerge. Articles penned by people showing off their ability to walk through corridors of power. It was very disrespectful at least to me. I did not blame them tho because hey they felt important and justified, we made them important. How? Every single day a story in our media about them, stories about their prophesies, stories about their escapades, intertwining them with our national fabric when they had no right to be there. So yes I was happy, not with Prof gone the way he exited but happy that all these hangers on will have no place in the new government be it the party I believe in or not. The emperor whoever that might be would definitely have to have new clothes. Covers face....boy some new clothes this new emperor of my country has!!!!

Knock! knock! Whose there?...enter Andrew Solomon.

Who is Andrew Solomon? Andrew Solomon is the President of Ghana's friend (deal with it). Andrew Solomon is gay and married (deal with it). Andrew Solomon is an advocate for rights for same sex couples (deal with it). And why are we talking about him? I do not know! Why are we making him so relevant that he feels he has to write an article in the New York Times justify himself and throw the presidency into a state of he said, she said,they said, I said....why?. So now he will be down as Andrew Solomon who is besties with the President of Ghana. His claim to the little fame he has. Come on people. Why? Yes I am asking you, maybe you can explain to me. Why the urge to discuss him. Of all the things we have to deal with. Anyways this will be the first and last time I discuss him. I do not support same sex marriages, I love my man too much. I love my ability to make babies for him too much to be thinking about that and so yes, I will also not waste my time over what someone does in his or her room or publicly( umm I think as for publicly the same sex people and the normal sex people are in the same boat). I simply will not. I believed then and still believe now that everyone one will answer for their sin. Every one will atone. So it is a simple matter of leaving them be. Deal with it.

The last time I wrote this on my wall on Facebook I was called a disappointment (my second battle wound... hahaa) by my friend Kwame Boafo Akufo and ummm some term like a posh elite. Posh elite according to Kwame is a person who accepts wrongs such as this. Really? OK.
Who said if you come out beating war drums then it makes it go away, it does not. You are dealing with humans though some of you call them dogs. The harsh reality is you rather create sympathy, you rather make them popular, you rather make them ride on the waves of your fury. Such a situation must fiercely. It is not screaming values and bible quotations that makes it better. It is by teaching good values as you and I were taught and as we know them especially to the young ones around us. Our brothers, sisters, uncles, nephews everybody who is growing and coming unto his or her own. It is only by educating people, by embracing people enough to pray for them and intercede on their behalf that you can begin to make a difference. But you still have to leave the rest to God.
Because honestly there is sin. Unimaginable sin (plus that) going on in this country and world large and yes you can only do so much. Who are you to judge? who are you to weigh one over the other...kindly put all on the same pedestal and attack with the same fury. Try and believe in the Ghanaian conservativeness. It will not be legalised. A friend said online that I should be there, it might happen...this situation has been with us from old our parents had it happening in their time, we also have it happening in our time what shows it is not time to legalise. I simply told him with the greatest conviction I could muster....well we have had prostitutes from old you don't see anyone in parliament drafting a bill in support of that. Or prostitution is a lesser sin?

And as for the President...all you can do is  to leave it to his conscience. Whether he met Andrew Solomon and his "wife" at a wedding or not, whether he call him to apologise after Hon. Ayariga misspoke or not..it is up to him and his conscience. If all the time H.E. Prof Mills (RIP) was vehemently opposing it (yes I recall the disgust on his face when he answered a question on this during meet the press at the castle) he had Andrew as helping him with his book. Don't you wonder if the good old Prof ever met him and shook his hands without knowing who he was talking to. Or what he does or in this case didn't know would not hurt him eh? ( hahahahaha...one has simply got to laugh over these things sometimes). Leave new Oga alone, his conscience will do its work.

By the way new Oga ummm when are you going to sort out the doctors. Yes! Yes! the doctors are on strike and we need them back. Deal with it. I can afford a private hospital but I absolutely support them. You know why? It is not fair that you increase your salaries (executive and legislature) and throw the humanity card in their faces. It is not happening this time. Then reduce your salary so that everybody will be humanised (haha). They need the money.
Please tell your people not to start politics with this because elections is over (right?! hahahaa) so no propaganda that NPP is influencing them. Fix the broken single spine. Just pay up. Please tell your people that this is not a case of people dying because honestly you can die anytime... nothing to do with doctors. I am not heartless. I am tired of my country and our "blind" leaders. I hope the teachers strike next, I hope the nurses join, I hope labour as a whole joins because Lord knows there is money in the Republic of Ghana. If there is money to pay judgement debts, money send our national team to and fro, money to spend on committees of all sorts and pay allowances, money to pay salaries of workers of GRIDco, ECG, GWL, money to spend party supporters to South Africa to watch football....ah then there is plenty money. Doctors do not go to work. Your claim is not in heaven, your claim is here on earth. Gye sika no, pesewas koraa gyi (collect the money, no matter how little)
If anybody says it is in heaven ask them how they know if you will go to heaven...don't laugh. I am serious.

Winding down....I want the new Pope to be black, tell the Papacy or Popedom for me. His name is Peter Turkson. No I am not catholic but I still want. Deal with it.

Have a good evening people.

Traffic beckons.
