GOOD BYE NANA AKUFO ADDO; SEGE CONSTITUENCY

Travelling on the Accra - Aflao road, I came across so many bill boards and the abundance of my new found fruit; water melon. My God! Accra business women will kill people. You should see water melon selling as low as 50Gp. This same size may go for GHc 2.00 or even GHc 3.00 in certain areas. Sometimes I get confused trying to know what is bill board and sign board; are they the same? I am still learning so someone take me to school. Is it a crime to admit you do not know something and express readiness to learn? I nearly forgot to talk about another item of abundance before talking about this man Nana Addo and the resolution of Sege NPP; or is it NDC? One thing that is also very common and confusing is speed ramp of varying sizes. Some can simply be sped over and do not reduce speed in anyway; what forces you to reduce your speed is the ramp sign. If you take the easily driven over ramps as a yardstick, you are likely to drive into a mountain like speed ramp. DANGEROUS!! Drive with caution on this road and save lives. Life is precious. While driving, I made sure I read a few words on each bill/sign board to avoid running into 'something' Defensive driving is what Senior Kwame Atuahene and Gbetemete are calling for. This gargantuan bill board with the bright blue-white-red colours caught my attention. It had the writing; "GOOD BYE NANA AKUFO ADDO SEGE CONSTITUENCY" wow!!!!! Who put this here? I asked without malice. My good friend then drew my attention to a small spot at the left middle end of the same board with a thumb up with the inscription, "VOTE" The new twist made the writing more interesting than I even thought; "VOTE GOOD BYE NANA AKUFO ADDO SEGE CONSTITUENCY" This Sege candidate may be from the Alan camp or an NDC mole. How come he did not add his name and picture to the "GOOD BYE"? Is he bidding Nana Addo farewell before the election? I do not think any candidate should be this mischieveous against his own flagbearer. At a time when Seniors Atuahene, Ekuoba Gyasi and Apiagyei are using their offices, public and private respectively to work against H. E. Atta Mills, it is refreshing that there is a candidate in the NPP who is intensionally or unintensionally seeing why Nana Addo should go on retirement. One key may open two doors so let me use this opportunity to ask Senior Ekuoba why he has blocked me from his friends on facebook? Or senior, you have left facebook completely? If you are still on facebook, let's link up. You shape people's lifestyle in public so allow same. I am always at you service. I may fall on your radial for one reason, good or bad some day. A little deviation but let's get back to the import of this bill board where the voice of the people of Sege is amply re-echoed on the bill board of the party they wish to punish for the unnecessary manner they open their mouths. NPP do not see anything good in any group in Ghana. I watched their Greater Accra communications Director on TV last night and told myself Ghana is in trouble. If this is his posturing in opposition, what will it be when he is given power? After beating their usual war drum, he turns round to talk about laws of Ghana. We are all watching. Ghana can not be left in the hands of Nana Akufo Addo for one day. In fact Kumasi is not helping Ghana at all. The good people of Ashanti have allowed some few greedy people to use Kumasi for all the bad things simply because Ashanti is the stronghold of the opposition NPP. Prison officers' illegal demonstration was held in Kumasi, KNUST Administrative staff strike, Komfo Anokye junior doctors, Doctors, NAGRAT Ashanti, GNAT Ashanti, Concerned Teachers etc; what at all is wrong? Is it true that there was uncontrollable jubilation in Kumasi when it was falsely announced that the President was dead? Thank God nobody is celebrating the death of Hon. Owusu Ansah of Kwabre West. I don't know why he is the unfortunate sacrifice while those going round talking about the President's health are walking about. Same way, in 2008, some of the fine men in NPP were sacrificed when they 'touched' the annointed man of GOD. Ladies and Gentlemen, let us learn from the past and avoid avoidable mistakes. Nana Addo, I wish to join the people of Sege to wish you good bye and to pledge two such bill boards for your people in Biakoye. May you enjoy your retirement and your consultancy in higher and violent electoral activities be successful.

Life in Accra

Life in Accra may be sweet, bitter, interesting or boring depending on what you do for a living, where you live and how organized or disorganized you are. People I know will not travel out of Accra for anything in this world but others too will not sleep in Accra for anything in this world. Ask me, I love Accra for several reasons and hate Accra for several other reasons. I love Accra because I can meet all the people I wish to meet in life and also because everything happens in Accra (Dzigbodi). Get all the schools I want my children to attend, watch all the TV channels I wish if I ever get the time to. Oh! I missed this point, food! Food is so cheap I can not imagine Accra has no farmlands. It is abnormally abundant, well price and interestingly segregated. I hate Accra because food; though cheaply priced, is mostly not fresh. Adawso in the Eastern Region, Tapa Abotoase in the Volta Region provide more natural states of food. Even cooked food in Accra is bromate filled. Abnormal traffic jam is what makes Accra more boring and stressful. I live somewhere uphill on the Akuapem ridge; you can imagine the difference in the environment. Pollution verses no pollution; natural food verses artificial food, more space for few people verses small space for more people. In fact Accra is not my favourite city in this world. By 4am, my friends who live somewhere within Accra and work in Accra are up, running helter skelter to avoid traffic and stress. Though work starts at 8am, they have to sacrifice some rest to avoid stress. That is even more stressful to start with. My good friend and brother Quansah has no car of his own and lives about 45 minutes drive from his office. My friend sometimes joins winding queues and stays in these queues for only God knows how long. My home to work is below 15 minutes and I leave just that time in between home and office. Enough rest, hard work, marvellous out put. I still want to leave all the goodies in Accra for a better life in the villages. Having lived in and around Accra for a long time, my set up in the village is disorganized. I have been using the past three or so years fixing it. Soon, I will move out of Accra to settle beside my cages for a more environmentally friendly life, devoid of pollution, traffic jam, noise, mosquito bites and stench.
