The Love Letter

 So a friend of mine known as Paa Kwesi wrote a long letter that I should send to the Prez. Umm Please I do not know the President from Adam. All I know is he is currently the sworn in President of the republic of Ghana, He has plenty nkura aduro in his government, his living room has nice leather seats, His wife has hips to die for, his hair is very grey now and he has stopped smiling. Simples. But I decided to answer his love letter paragraph by paragraph. That is the least I can do on a hot Monday afternoon such as this. Enjoy


Dear President Mahama....(pls woati koraa. zero over ten. His name is Oga Prez)


A Ghanaian I have been very proud to be, I have been proud to be counted everywhere around the world as coming from Nkrumahs Ghana, the Gold Coast....(I think Nkrumah should have waited before sacking the Obodoyibo simply known as white man. )pri koraa dodo. See South Africa. Everyday Self Government now. Eni ye ne)

From the times of Nkrumah
 to now I still kept my hopes up, believing that one day things are going to change; that another breed of leadership and a new Ghanaian will emerge from somewhere among us.......
(Ummm I think that one is too six and loss on your part. tweaa we dont like leadership, we like handsome, tall and idey bi k3k3. Not forgetting Ghc 50 and t-shirt)

I resign today because I am tired of hoping for the best when nothing is being done.... (You resign from where, massa woni bibiara ko...stay and dumsor with us. Woy3 wicked paa. Massa look for some bench and sit down)

I am tired of seeing children knocked down on the streets by irresponsible drivers because their desperate mother is somewhere struggling to make ends meet....(Its true emom but now I really do not have pity on all of them. They were given the option for education they chose Ghc 50 and t'shirt. They should work with their hands. NYEP is there only that they wont pay their allowances on time)

I am tired of going to the hospital and being told that there are no drugs or my health insurance is not working because government has not paid previous claims......(Hoh!! as for the National Insurance Scheme you should have known. Ah gidigidi they said one time premium. Meanwhile they never told us how? that alone should show you that... adi3 no )mo enim y3! Shishii kwa)


 I am tired of being stopped by the police every night to pay fifty pesewas for just passing their way; even if I were an armed robber...(Those police people do not mind them koraa. When they packed them like sardines to Parliament for Single Spine what did they say, didnt they go. Ene )mu ne. Blowing sirens left right center in town. Wharris that. Btw their rate has gone up...they like 2 cedis)
I refuse to talk about the witches camp and the trokosi camps still in operation, the increasing rape and defilement reports....(That is a national shame. Still wondering why it hasnt stopped. One tends to think these women groups plus government want it to thrive so they can keep collecting donor support to stop it. Because by now di333 ahba!! shimii ntur) nkoa)

After 56 years, there is nothing happening in Ghana to be proud or hopeful of but a lot to be ashamed of....(Well I feel you on that, but susu ka shame no. Etwi me too much. b3t why? You too shame!!)

More kids are homeless today than 50 years ago, people still die of malaria, hunger is everywhere and a growing state of hopelessness is pushing more and more people into crime.....(Please they will tell you crime is from Adam and the micro economic indicators plus GDP has affected the Gross Domestic Supply of something something. Nkura aduro nkoa)

The institutions of state have been hit by corruption and scandals, not to talk of the irresponsibility, waste and the erratic supply of water and electricity......(In all this paragraph, all i see is water. Eish where you here when Hon. Dr. Hannah Bissiw was touring water projects? Eish maame no p3 fans! Were you here when Hon. Bagbin said he will fix it in 100 days...yes yes where you here when we had Kufuor gallon.....idey be k3k3)

Bad policies have led to the formation of the Association of Unemployed Graduates....(Oh come off, it those people are a batch of nincompoops. I am sure they pay dues. Where do they get the money from? Close your mind. They just want popularity. I blame radio stations for entertaining them in the name of democracy. Hmph)

At 56 we can only boast of changing government through the ballot box which, to a large extent, is not an achievement considering the issues surrounding it and the fact that Ghanaians are genetically preachers of leave everything to God- even when injustices are being done to them.....(Say it again oo, we know God than God Himself. But this paragraph I dedicate to Dr. Djan. He will serve you with further and better particulars)

At 56, Ghana still has not found a way to utilise the energy of the youth whilst their dreams hang on political activism, party politics and computer fraud......(Oh the youth, youth is now 54 the Prez Oga himself has redefined it. Pls though who were formally in the youth bracket are now to be called toddlers. medaase. k3k3 remix)

Leadership in Ghana is nothing to write home about. The educated ones trapped in party idiocy would gladly do anything to satisfy their chosen groups....(We do not have leaders, the real leaders are in the private sector. Omu dwene )mo ho wai. waving at Prince Amoabeng and Sam Jonah!!!)

Parliament has become a shadow of its self and completely brainless; members will vote for everything on party lines whether good or bad and drag any tax payer who dares question such acts before the privileges committee to be bullied.....(true true this Parliament di33 suspect. very suspect. cough at the Ablaks)

The media, the fourth estate of the realm, has become a punch bag of politicians who determine what will be discussed by owning most media houses or manipulating the news trends behind the scenes. The media has let itself to be used to destroy a lot of careers and people who probably had good intentions for this country with its tomfoolery.....(Good point. Umm dont get me started on these our journalists. Abon paaa! you can see from the way majority of them ask questions and write news articles. And when they have "meant" you kai, you berra move to Togo)

Mr. President, my nightmares have doubled and my fear of dying still broke drives me to this decision with a heavy heart. In your three addresses of the nation you have failed to connect with me, you have allowed yourself be led by dubious speech writers who know what the people want to hear (but not what they want to see) even if it is not actionable....... (That i agree with you. I wonder if he listens to himself. He has had many chances to make us rally behind him. Look at what he said at the Independence day. Hmm. Well. hmmm.)

Maybe things might change, maybe there might be something to hope for in the pipeline; but Mr. President, I dont see it happening if people will not simply change and be accountable not to you, but to the poor people of Ghana whose strength is the only thing that keeps this country afloat – not you, not your politicians but us....(Woy3 dramatic o!)

Mr President I Resign....(Mesi gyae saa na wo resigni ako hefa! who should sit here with no light, gas or water. Look for some bench and sit down.)


*So Paa Kwesi I will send this via DHL wai...mensuro. hahahahahaha*

  1. Still think Nana Addo should have been in charge. We certainly need Ugly, Short, Fierce and Strong willed at this time.
