Dear Nana Romeo,
In the grand theatre of Asomdekromanian entertainment, your comments on United Television ShowBiz never fail to stir the pot, especially your recent remarks about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. You claimed that Dr. Bawumia has no grounds to promise signing the LGBTQIA Bill into law when he becomes president, arguing that he should ban LGBTQIA activities now if he truly means it.
Yet, in the same breath, you acknowledged that as Vice President, his powers are limited. So, how do you expect him to wield authority he doesn’t possess? It’s like asking a chicken to crow like a rooster – impossible! As the Akan proverb goes, “You can’t shave a man’s head in his absence.”
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane. Wasn’t President Ogwanfunu both Vice President and President? Did he accomplish all he promised? Now, he’s back with more promises, and you seem to welcome them with open arms. But when Bawumia, who is currently just the Vice President, makes promises, you cry foul. Where’s the logic in that? As the Akan proverb goes, “A crab does not beget a bird.” You can’t expect Bawumia to perform presidential duties as Vice President.
Your stance is not only contradictory but also hypocritical. It’s clear you’re subtly promoting Mr. Ogwanfunu while undermining Bawumia. Such flawed logic shouldn’t come from someone with your experience. Please, spare us the unwholesome opinions on these shows. As the Ga proverb says, “The one who climbs a good tree gets a push.”
Last week, you performed similar mental gymnastics trying to justify John Dumelo’s insult towards Madam Lydia Alhassan. You conjured up non-existent examples to defend your analysis. It’s like trying to catch the wind with a net. It was a pity seeing you struggle to justify the unjustifiable insults.
It’s a free world, and you can support any political party you wish, but claiming neutrality while consistently singing praises for those under the eagle-headed Umbrella is dishonest. Stop deceiving yourself because the messy anus of the fowl is glaring enough for all to see.
The masses know a religious fanatic when they see one. So, they cannot be fooled by your deceptive attitude because you are a perfect example of a religious fanatic. We do not have short memories as you and your ilk deceive yourselves into believing. We remember the president who told the unemployed youth that he was not a magician to provide jobs. Now that he is promising jobs, has he suddenly become a magician?
It’s like the Akan proverb says, “The one who swears by the moon does not know that the moon changes.” You can’t expect people to forget the past so easily. The masses are not as gullible as you might think. They see through the smoke and mirrors, recognising the inconsistencies and contradictions in your statements.
We know the president who once shrugged off the plight of the jobless youth, claiming he wasn’t a magician. Now, with a wave of his hand, he promises jobs as if he’s suddenly discovered a magic wand. Has he become a sorcerer overnight?
The masses also remember the vice president who stood by his boss to deliver the promise of Free SHS, a game-changer for countless Asomdwekromanian families. They recall the man who championed the cause of digitalisation, embedding it into the very fabric of the Asomdwekrom.
This is the same leader whose visionary ideas are paving the way for a brighter future, focusing on innovation and progress rather than on rearing guinea fowls and goats. As the Akan proverb goes, “The one who plants a tree knowing that he will never sit in its shade has at least started to understand the meaning of life.” The people recognise and appreciate the forward-thinking initiatives that promise long-term benefits, not just short-term gains.
They see the leader who is not just talking about change but actively implementing it, ensuring that Asomdwekrom keeps pace with the rest of the world. The masses are not easily swayed by empty rhetoric; they value tangible results and a clear vision for the future. As the Ewe proverb says, “The one who fetches water from the well does not forget the path.” The people remember the efforts and achievements that have made a real difference in their lives.
So, let’s celebrate the leaders who are truly making strides towards a better Asomdwekrom, those whose actions speak louder than words. As the Akan proverb wisely puts it, “Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one individual can embrace it.” Let’s acknowledge the collective efforts that drive progress and uplift our nation.
See you next week for another interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!
