Fellow Asomdwekromanians, gather around for a tale of political drama, where the stakes are high and the cocoa drink is flowing. In the bustling city of Accra in Asomdwekrom, a grand debate unfolds, one that could give ‘Game of Thrones’ a run for its money.
Enter Nana Dee, the man with enough charisma to light up a thousand suns, or at least power a few solar panels. He is got a promise that is bigger than his cocoa farm: Free Senior High School (SHS) for everyone! The crowd is stunned. The skeptics are rolling their eyes. But Nana Dee winks at destiny, saying, “Hold my cocoa!”
Now, let’s rewind a bit. Nana Dee’s opponents were laughing at the idea. “Free SHS is more like ‘Free Taxi Rides’!” they scoffed. But Nana Dee, ever the strategist, crunched the numbers and consulted the wise ones (okay, maybe just some economists). He declared, “Education is the key, and keys should be free, like Wi-Fi in a café.”
Why cocoa, you may ask? Because cocoa is the lifeblood of Asomdwekrom. It is in our veins, our dreams, and our slightly sticky hot chocolate. When Nana Dee says, “Hold my cocoa,” he is really saying, “Hold my dreams and this cup of ambition.”
As Nana Dee steps off stage, cocoa in hand, the crowd is buzzing. Will his bold move pay off? Will the skeptics eat their words? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: Nana Dee’s vision has set the stage for a showdown.
Fifi Kwetey, our word wizard, steps into the light. With a flourish, he says, “When you see NPP promising Free SHS, that’s what we call ‘All Lie Be Lie’!”
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the dance king, twirls in. “Election trick!” he shouts. “Free SHS is a scam and a deception dance!” The crowd moves to his beat, pondering if his boss, Mr. Ogwanfunu, can dance his way to the presidency.
But wait! Just when we thought the plot couldn’t twist any further, Nana delivers on his promise.
Free SHS becomes a reality, like a unicorn prancing through the halls of learning. And Mr. Ogwanfunu, once the biggest doubter, does a complete spin. “Free SHS can’t be just a politician’s whim,” he once boomed. But guess what? The politician delivers, and Mr. Ogwanfunu is suddenly claiming it like a kid with a lost puppy.
The audience is watching, popcorn in hand, as Mr. Ogwanfunu does a U-turn that would make a professional dancer jealous. His spin is so quick, it bends the rules of political science. Reporters are struggling to keep up, wondering the kind of flip-flop it is. Meanwhile, Nana Dee is sipping his cocoa, looking as self-satisfied as a cat with a mouse.
And so, we learn a lesson: In the world of politics, U-turns are as common as potholes on Accra’s streets. Whether it is taking credit for Free SHS or blaming the rain on the other party, politicians are the true masters of spin.
As the curtain falls, Mr. Ogwanfunu straightens his tie, Nana Dee polishes his cocoa mug, and the lost puppy wags its tail. The drama continues, fueled by ambition, cocoa, and a sprinkle of unicorn glitter.
The school bell rings, students gather, their feet tapping in excitement. The ‘Free SHS Dance’ has no set steps; it is a freestyle of joy and curiosity.
The headmaster, wise and old, steps forward. His voice is like the whisper of ancient books. “Today, we celebrate not just free education, but the wealth of opportunity,” he says. “Let your minds dance through the halls of knowledge. Spin, twist, and leap into the unknown!”
And they do. The students move, turning theorems into loops and history into spins. The dance of Free SHS isn’t about perfection; it’s about the joy of learning. Mistakes are welcome, and missteps are forgiven. After all, isn’t education a dance with the unknown?
The sun sets, casting long shadows. The mango trees rustle in approval. The Free SHS Dance goes on, a celebration of privilege and a reminder that knowledge levels the playing field. It doesn’t matter if your shoes are worn or your uniform is patched; here, we all dance on the same ground. Nana Dee, grinning like a cat, takes the stage. “Free SHS is like jollof rice,” he says. “It brings us together!” The crowd cheers, and the jollof rice fans nod in agreement.
So, Asomdwekromanians, when life offers free education, don’t question it. Grab your bag, twist, turn, and dance the Free SHS dance. Because knowledge is the greatest symphony, and you are the star dancer.
As for Nana Dee, posterity will definitely judge him kindly. Those accusing his presidency as being a failure will one day realise that Dr. Napo’s claim of Nana Dee being the best president in Asomdwekrom’s history is not a fluke. Until then, let us all join in dancing the Free SHS dance.
See you next week for another interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!
