Greed, Selfishness, Jealousy And Hate In Akufo Addo’s Government Will Collapse Ghana

The Ghanaian leader, Nana Akufo-Addo

A society where greed, jealousy, and hate of common things inevitably tend to trivialize trickery of all kinds in politics. The Ghanaian political arena is full of deceptive, heartless politicians whose motives are to give assurance to the common Ghanaians that they care, but they think of their own welfare first.

Ghanaian politicians believe that lies, cheating, greed, hate, and corruption are part of politics; therefore, these malpractices must be applied in whatever they do with the intention to take power or keep it, with cunning ulterior motives, calculations, and strategies. 

I wouldn’t have known how cruel and heartless Ghanaian politicians are until I came to Europe three decades ago. In fact, the lives of common Ghanaians are valueless. The neglected communities, poor medical facilities, poor roads, and dirty environments kill Ghanaians, while the government shows less concern.

The latest assessment of the coronavirus epidemic reports over 900 deaths in China and more than 34,500 people were infected, almost exclusively in the country. 

While a growing number of countries around the world are evacuating their nationals from Wuhan, hit by the virus, the Ghanaian government has made it clear that “they will not bow to pressure to evacuate Ghanaian students.”

I find it hard to understand the Ghanaian government. Is it because of the cost involved in the evacuation, or are they scared that the students may infect other healthy Ghanaians when they bring them to Ghana? 

Whatever the reason, that decision not only undermines Akufo-Addo's government but also shows that the life of a common Ghanaian is valueless. In every situation, the Ghanaian government must try to show care to Ghanaians both in and out of the country.

A true government that really cares for its nationals will definitely go for the students to quarantine or isolate them to be thoroughly examined because it is likely that not all of them might test positive, and also possible that none of them has had the virus. This is what countries that have gone for their nationals have done.

With such a decision announced by the Special Advisor to the President, Akufo-Addo on Health, Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare, why do Ghanaian politicians often get angry when people accuse them that politics in the country is to enrich themselves, but not for the common Ghanaian?

Selfish politics in Ghana will not yield any good results in the country. Akufo-Addo made that decision because a few days ago, Mr. Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament- North Tongu, asked his government to evacuate Ghanaians from Wutan.

To follow that decision, that may seem the government has obeyed the instructions of a member of the NDC party and lowered their self-esteem at the same time to the member of parliament. That is how selfishness, ignorance, hate, and jealousy reign in Akufo-Addo's government.

Intelligent Ghanaians, out of fear or whatever reason, have failed to persuade Akufo-Addo’s government to continue the uncompleted projects left by the former government, but economically, Ghanaians will pay for that dearly.

What intelligent Ghanaians must understand is that whatever greed, political hate, jealousy, and selfishness style of government Akufo-Addo is depending on to rule Ghana, will not affect the politicians but the common Ghanaians.  

I don't know how many times I will repeat this, Akufo-Addo's ambition to be in office for the second time will be a dream of illusion in most developing countries, let alone a developed country. The fact that he has left projects which belong to Ghana uncompleted because the former government, NDC, started those projects. What a terrible leader!

SURPRISING INVINCIBLE ENEMIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Will Smith


The internet or social media is the right place as a groundbreaking interactive marketplace and also an essential tool for people to access information and services, right?

By the influence of the social media, we can now see the world through our windows, and enjoy effective and quick communication if the one lives thousands of kilometers away, but alongside its many valuable resources, social media is occupied by an invincible brood of vipers, whose aim to make sure that you never reach the top, hateful contents, offensive materials, black heart and treacherous people known as social media friends.

Frankly speaking, I wasn’t aware that social media has its dark sides until I started writing. In a society where ‘birds of the same feathers flock together,’ you are not accepted if you look different. If that group is saying that the ‘blue’ colour is ‘black,’ you need to agree with them to stay in the group.

Jesus said, “The truth shall set you free,” but in this present generation, the truth will give you many worries, discomfort, and create a lot of enemies for you. 

I have said over and over that I may live in Europe for many years, but holding a European passport doesn’t change my way of thinking, culture, and identity. I am a hundred percent true-born African and proud to be an African.

Since I’m an African, my writings will reflect on my culture and issues affecting the African continent, which many European and American journalists will not do. 

This is what many have failed to realize. Thus, writing the truth about Aids and Ebola shouldn’t generate hatred, because I’m an African, not European or American.

There are hundreds of scientists in this world who are aware that the viruses of Aids and Ebola are biologically prepared as bio-weapons and tested on Africans by the Americans, yet only one scientist, the Dutch Johan Van Dongen, revealed the truth, and it cost him dearly. 

After losing his job as a lecturer at the University of Maastricht, he became an enemy, and his profile was deleted from the social media site ‘LinkedIn.’

European and American journalists write distasteful and degrading articles about Africa, yet when an African writer reveals their weaknesses, corruption, inefficiency, racism, hypocrisy, and their devilish plans against Africa, then everyone becomes angry. 

Thousands of Europeans and Americans commit suicide daily, if an African writer suggests, Europeans and Americans should learn from Africa how they have survived persecutions, diseases, long before the white man’s medicine was discovered, then everyone is angry.

Recently, in United Voice News Magazine, a journalist wrote, ‘9 Out Of 10 Americans Would Perish Without Power For Over A Year If ISIS strikes.’ 

I pointed out that this is a total disgrace to Americans if they will depend on electric current to survive, knowing that there are thousands of villagers in Africa who have never enjoyed light before since they were born, yet they are the healthiest and happiest people on earth. 

From school, they learn, read, and write with the help of only kerosene lanterns. I’m back in what I have repeated over a hundred times. Are Africans tougher and stronger than Europeans and Americans?

When it comes to issues about Africa, only a few people are interested, but learning something from Africa, regarding survival and discipline in schools, will be beneficial to Europeans and Americans if they put pride behind them. 

Frankly speaking, without any ammunition, guns, or war tanks, Africa will defeat Europe and America if they stand toe to toe in a physical fight, because Africans are physically strong.

Africans don’t need the power to live or survive. They already had a long life span without electricity, before the vaccine against malaria was discovered, and before they were hit by medical crime at the hands of Europe and America.

Africa needs support, healing, and development, not underdevelopment and depopulation, because that rejected continent will one day be a haven for Europeans and Americans. What will prompt them to flee hasn't come yet.
