Mr. Ogwanfunu’s Political Rollercoaster – Comedy Or Tragedy?

 

Fellow Asomdwekromanians, welcome to Asomdwekrom’s most unpredictable political soap opera! Mr. Ogwanfunu has staged a comeback that would make Hollywood scriptwriters jealous, winning the 2024 election and leaving the entire nation simultaneously excited and skeptical. It is like watching a movie where the villain becomes the unexpected hero – plot twist guaranteed!

Congratulations, Mr. Ogwanfunu! You’ve managed to convince the people of Asomdwekrom that you are the proverbial “devil they know.” But before we start dancing to the tune of victory, let’s take a moment to ponder what lies ahead. Will this be the golden age of Asomdwekrom’s political history, or just another chapter in the never-ending saga of “The Bold and the Broken Promises”?

Now, let’s talk about Seth Terkper, Mr. Ogwanfunu’s former finance minister. He is spilling the beans faster than a clumsy waiter at a fancy restaurant. According to Seth Terkper, the much-touted Free Senior High School (SHS) policy will only be free for Day students. Did I hear you ask about Boarding students? Well, they will be paying through their noses faster than you can say “campaign promise”!

Hold onto your kente cloth, Abusuapanin! Mr. Ogwanfunu, in his infinite political wisdom, has outdone himself this time. He is not just promising free SHS – oh no, that would be too simple. He vowed to extend the Free SHS policy to private schools.

But before we all rush to enroll our kids in Asomdwekrom’s finest private institutions, let’s pump the brakes on this promise parade. Our good friend Seth Terkper, with a penchant for bursting political bubbles, has some sobering news. According to Seth, this grand promise is nothing more than a classic political stunt. In other words, it is as reliable as a rooster promising to lay eggs. Seth Terkper is calling it what it is – a mere “political promise”. So, before you start measuring your child for that fancy private school uniform, you might want to take this promise with a pinch of salt… or maybe the whole bag of salt.

Now, I didn’t exactly jump on the Ogwanfunu bandwagon this time around, but I have to admit, there is a certain thrill in watching this political soap opera unfold. It’s like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat – you know it’s a trick, but you can’t help but be amazed.

One thing is for sure: Asomdwekromanians have a knack for making interesting choices. We are like that friend who always goes back to their problematic ex, hoping “this time will be different.” As the proverb goes, “The one who marries the witch knows how to sleep with one eye open.” Well, Asomdwekrom, it’s time to keep both eyes wide open!

Let’s not forget about the nurses and teacher trainees who were so quick to turn their backs on Ogwanfunu the last time. They thought they were being clever, but as we say, “The chicken that follows the cock always ends up in the cooking pot.” Now that Ogwanfunu is back, they might find themselves in some hot soup indeed!

For Ogwanfunu, the real challenge begins now. He has promised to continue the allowances for nurses and teacher trainees, but as another Asomdwekromanian proverb wisely states, “Words are like eggs, they have wings when they are hatched. “Let’s see if these promises can fly or if they will end up as a political omelet.

Did Asomdwekromanians make the right choice? Well, time will reveal all, and we will soon see if Ogwanfunu’s promises hold water or if they are just hot air in a political balloon.

Asomdwekrom’s political landscape is never dull, that is for sure. It’s like a game of musical chairs, except the music never stops and the chairs keep disappearing. And while we may be excited about Ogwanfunu’s return, we also need to brace ourselves for what is yet to come. After all, “The same sun that melts wax hardens clay.”  In other words, Ogwanfunu’s policies might be a blessing for some and a curse for others.

So here we are, with Ogwanfunu back in the driver’s seat. Will he take us on a smooth ride to prosperity, or will we end up in a ditch of disappointment?

In the end, whether we like it or not, Ogwanfunu is our captain now. As we embark on this new journey, let’s remember another wise Asomdwekromanian saying: “When the cock is drunk, he forgets about the hawk.” Let’s hope the Ogwanfunu government does not get too drunk on power and forget about the real challenges facing our nation.

So here is to the future, to Ogwanfunu’s sweet victory, and to the endless entertainment in Asomdwekromanian politics! May the chickens dance (hopefully not into the cooking pot), may the digitalization dreams survive, and may we all find out whether we’ve made a brilliant choice or just signed up for another four-year comedy show.

As a final Asomdwekromanian proverb reminds us, “The one who asks questions does not lose his way.” So let’s keep asking, keep laughing, and keep hoping. After all, in the grand theatre of Asomdwekromanian politics, the show must go on – and what a show it promises to be!

 

See you next week for another interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!
