Truth matters...

It's Saturday...time check 12:14pm and I am not asleep. Frown. I am going through one of those days that you mean to sleep and the bed looks at you and says "it's not happening". Sigh. But join me in sending a huge hug to my friend Afua who is getting married today. Errrr it is an engagement but I call it wedding. Yes the white wedding is Kwesi Broni's tradition. Our tradition is the engagement and all that comes with it. Afua I know you are busy now but if you happen to read this post. I know you were soo beautiful, I am totally in awe of your husband P.K and thank you for letting me be a part of your decor team. Muahz Darling. and yes my reward is wedding cake and lotsa pineapple juice. Haha.

Well much has happened in the last couple of days. The PPP claim they are considering boycotting Joyfm, the NDP executives are trying to convince themselves and us that they are trying to convince NKAR or accept the position of flagbearer and now the NDC my favorite party ever since the I understood the definition of concert party has rescinded their decision not to partake in the IEA debates for presidential candidates. First of all PPP can you give us a HUGE BREAK! Ah! Na adzen. Shrug! First of all if you seek to offer transformational leadership, the last thing you go about doing is boycotting. Boycotting because of what? Unfair treatment you say? Haha! All you people have have is succeeded to make Dr. Nduom look petty and childish. Because once an idea slips out of anybody's mouth then it came from PPP. If anybody coughs then it comes from PPP. Then some statement will come with some plenty brofo , errrrm please the last one you released I was left scratching my head because I didn't understand why I was being asked to ignore a party because it has your ideas. Seriously...! Have you forgetten that even in an exam people in different rooms can write the same answer or now PPP has the ability to read minds ahhhh then let me come so you tell me when I am going to buy my jaguar! Or?  Wait a minute...I know you have your right to boycott, you have your right to do whatever you so please but come closer....yes come closer and let me tell you something, we do not give a hoot about boycotting. Ghanaians are wild ooo. We are struggling with electricity, water, education, social amenities what have you....we need a team that looks like they understand our urgency. If you take pride in boycotting, copyrighting ideas and  writing long statements then please sit somewhere. And ooooh applause for PPP on its decision for running mate. Madam Eva Lokko. Errrrrrm ok me leave it here,  well it was a surprise that I must say but errrrrm ok you let me leave it here. Good luck Madam Lokko. Lord knows you need it.

And NDP please and pretty please we are not children. Kindly credit us with some small intelligence wai. Yepamokyew. You are begging who to do what? So that what? Errrrr none of you , yes my brothers and sisters who call themselves NDP party executives has money to even build a cold store. It's not a diss but you don't. You do not have money to buy or is it build a cold store how much more buy brand new pickups , brand them, build offices and brand them, mount billboards, pay for air time on radio,newspaper ads blah blah blah. Obviously there are some heavy weights behind you...hmmm a good guess is the Papa and Auntie. Because seriously who believes in the cause to end the NDC more than them. And possesses the cash to attempt to do so. Yep! Come to think of it, all the traveling around that my Papa and Auntie have done, I smell fundraising! Oh yes I do, I smell fundraising from friends. Haha! It is always friends who we never see who support causes with  Papa and auntie K. School fees, houses, cars ....it is always friends. Hmmm I have learnt to stop trying to figure out who the friends are, but I beg as for this trying to convince business di333  kindly tell it to the marines. It is not working! Infact I think Auntie K should hire a PR team because the element of surprise that she seeks to create with her public decision always kind of backfires. The elena of surprise rather lies with Papa. Yes we always want to know what he will say or do. And usually he doesn't dissappoint. Haha. But in all I raise my glass to Auntie. She has been very forgiving with Papa Kufuor. It's healthy. All the bad blood has to end somewhere, yes it is good kiss and makeup between those two. I believe the organizers of IMAGIN events have the praise for that. Their Lumba and Amakye Dede concerts have been very helpful. Because after all the drama Ghana is the reason why we are in politics. Yes that is the common sense approach. We must learn to be civil towards each other.

I saved the best for last. The National Democratic Congress. Eye zuuuuu, ey3 zaaaaaa. Herhhh you people are so so funny. Seriously every week my day is made. Let me tackle the decision to partake in the IEA decision. Yes only a fool does not change his mind. But why on earth would you want to be a fool. For what reason...someone kindly tell me. At this time I think no I rather believe the NDC thinks the election is between them and NPP.  And that the NPP is just the opposition party who sit opposite them  in Parliament. Mdfskkkk...sorry to burst your bubble but the election is convincing the entire Nation that you need to be in charge to lead the country into positive areas. Everything that they do is a fight against the NPP meanwhile they forget that Ghanaians are watching them.  Dear NDC you knew very well that your decision not to partake in the IEA was simply because the president at the time was not well. And no not well is not just a sore throat. The cancer had advanced. Visibly his health was deteriorating, audibly his voice was long gone. But look at the front you put up. Incredible, just incredible. Attacking the credibility of the IEA. Saying that some of the individuals who sit on the panel are NPP, completely bastardizing the presidential debates the IEA will organize soon. And to what extent....now you are back? Why is it because the man who was then president is dead? Pause? Come back to my question and see how narrow minded your actions and I actions have made you look. But me I am happy because I want that platform to be able to access the presidents and vice presidential hopefuls. I want that presidential debate process to be deepened and form a integral part of deciding who becomes our leader. I am not too worried about my presidential candidate Nana Addo I know he will be fantastic. He understands his issues and besides it is his issues that has led to discussions (some immature) on what aspiring leaders should  do for the if elected.  I am not worried about my vice presidential candidate Dr. Bawumia but I am waiting for his encounter with the rest especially Mr. Amissah Arthur.

I cannot wait for Dr. Bawumia to show the rest of Ghana what I already know and am proud of..yes I know this is a financial genius ( please who ever understands Math more than i do is a financial genius) who accepts that he is human, who doesn't run away from theory books or practical applications and who clearly understands that whoever holds the rein of governance from January of next year has soo much work to do. If nothing at all when he came out with a statement about the true state of economic affairs of the country, after all the insults and by force rejoinder from the Statiscal Service, the World Bank had the Satistical service rebase the basket ...that must tell you something. For me, I think the choice of Veep is critical because he heads the economic management team. We know how our country was under veep Mahama, we know how our finances have been under governor Arthur I shudder to think what it would be under veep Arthur. Yes the choice of veep is the most critical for me this election. As for president I have the firm believe Nana Addo would not tolerate the nonsense that have creeped in to the presidency. We need a firm hand, and for me I see that in my William. Haha yes Mr. Woyogate, you will pay back the money.

And please do I hear that we have a new issue with Ibrahim Mahama,  Oga Prez , Engineers and Planners, SSNIT and Merchant Bank. Hmmm Chief Kufuor come for a stone, Papa Kufuor come for  Kente wai. I will dedicate an entire post to this topic because I must explain the  hotel Kufuor and Engineers Planners thingy as I understand it. But till then I will say that I love the law of Karma. I love the law of getting back what you sow. Now some of us do not talk plenty about morality now we will be silent about nepotism.  And yes next time when the babies with sharp teeth are spitting dirty water..you will look for dettol and vim to scrub the filth.
Yes morality and nepotism are big issues that need to be addressed in our politic but the approach, the
 falsehood have paved way for it to be used as a tool for propaganda, as a tool for disgracing and as a
tool for shredding reputations to bits. Now let's see how the shoe fits on the other side.

Time check now it's 7:42pm. What to do on a cold Saturday nite? Any ideas! Well thank you for reading...


Have a lovely evening everyone. Beautiful weather....no?!
