Preamble: In Ecclesiastics 1:9, we learn that: “That which has been is what will be. That which is done is what will be done. And there is nothing new under the sun”. We read that “what is crooked cannot be made straight. And what is lacking cannot be remembered”.
Is it the beginning of an end or the end of a beginning? Former President Rawlings is obviously not a friend of mine. But of late, I have come to understand him for one thing. If he pursues a cause, he justifies it to its conclusion. He might be wrong in his reasoning or assumption, but you cannot take it from him. He is a man of his own principles, and I respect him for that.
When Kufuor was President and Rawlings was using him as a punching bag, almost on daily basis, at times calling him a thief, some of us protested. But what did we hear from members of the NDC, who today, have made the former President an object of vilification and disdain? They told us in plain unmistakable terms that the former President was just being himself and that nobody could gag him.
When the former President called the then President Kufuor a thief and a murderer and”ordered” the Ghana Armed Forces to arrest President Kufuor, those in the NDC hailed him. We have not forgotten his mantra of, “Kufuor nie” and the NDC apparatchiks would respond “Atta Ayi nie”“Kufuor nie” and they would respond: “Ya Na ti nie”.
If the leadership had advised ex-President Rawlings about his utterrrances, perhaps he would not have continued with his persistent attacks of Presidents. But in line with the statement that “etua wo nyonko ho a etua duam “ if something affects your neighbor it is as if it is affecting a tree, the NDC then had a field day, laughing hysterically with the Kufuor nie, Atta Ayi nie mantra.
Yes, these are the very people, who, today are calling for the crucifixion of the Rawlingses. Some have gone to the ridiculous extent of calling for him to be stripped of the title “founder”. Why this change of attitude? Noko fio! No doubt! I remember how Albin Bagbin, E.T.Mensah and Nii Affotey Agbo criticized President Mills on his lacklustre performance. Which derogatory expression did they not use to criticize and condemn President Mills’s policies? But as soon as they were offered ministerial appointments, all criticisms ceased - thanks to noko fio.
The Tower of Babel: But I am not surprised because the happenings in the NDC have long been foretold in the Holy Bible. If you doubt it, go and read Genesis 11:1-9 and you will get the import of my narration.
“Now, the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the East that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. Then, they said to one another “come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly. They had brick for stone and they had asphalt for mortar. And they said, “come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, “Indeed, the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing they propose to do will be with-held from them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech”.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the earth and they ceased building the city. Therefore, its name is called Babel because there, the Lord confused the language of all the earth and from there, the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the earth.
Yes, these things we read from the Holy Bible have great significance on the NDC. Yes the NDC built its house not on solid rock, but on sand. It is like building your house on a dunghill or with sputum. It will soon dry up. You see, the NDC going by its name, ‘Nefarious’ have laid out a well-orchestrated plan to cling on to power by hook or crook.. But as the Good Lord lives, upon whose words I base my arguments, nothing like that will ever happen in Ghana. Their hawks, rabid dogs, hyenas, wolves, vicious snakes, scorpions, vultures, tarantulas and their Chemical Alis can unleash all the venom in them on peace-loving Ghanaians, but the will of the masses will prevail. The NDC is a “goner”. Nothing will change the verdict.
Eight Year-Terms is a mirage: Whoever put the idea of an eight year term into the skull of these desperados? How long did the Busia’s regime last? What about the Liman regime before it was truncated by their idol who has now become their villain? It was only Rawlings and Kufuor’s regime which lasted Eight Years.
Let us come down to our ECOWAS brother and neighbor, Nigeria. Olusegun Obasanjo was contested for the flagbearership at the end of his first term by Dr Alex Ekwueme, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the ruling PDP. In Anambra State, Dr Chinwoke Mbajunuju lost his bid to continue as Governor of the State to Dr Chris Ngige from the Same PDP at the end of his first term.
So, the argument of these ignoramuses and latter day saints to rewrite the history of African, particularly Ghanaian politics will whittle away like saliva.
Use of uncouth language: Most of the NDC people cannot engage in intellectual discourse and so resort to the use of uncouth, uncivilized and unprintable language at the least opportunity. From the highest papacy to the lowest clergymen, they all descend into the gutter.
Most NDC serial commentators, who I am told hold ministerial positions in Mills Government have formed the habit of insulting writers who stance they disagree with. Some of them, instead of absorbing the contents of such write-ups find solace in mudslinging. They have been doing it to me and others who want to ‘nonscientist’ them. And that is what they are also doing to their own Founder. But as long as the Good Lord lives, I remain unperturbed. I will be continue to comment on national issues as I deem fit.
Why abandon “dzi wo fie asem” mantra? Even though, President Mills said, “we should dzi wo fie asem” I refuse to abide by that principle. Why? Because the poor miserable man at Akwatia who decided to adhere to the President’s admonishing saw dark clouds hanging over him when he was bundled into “illegal detention” by Baba Jamal and the NDC instigated Ghana Police who shall one day be called upon to give account of their stewardship before Ghanaians and the Living God.
It was the President who first breached his own principle when he decided to annoint a Flag-bearer for us. But I shall be generous. I shall come to the defence of the Rawlingses because of the injustices that are being perpetrated against him, even though I detest vehemently his insistence on jailing former NPP officials without adequate proof. But I am a Christian and the Bible tells me to love my neighbor as myself. .
Is there a level playing field for the contestants? My blood started boiling when Asiedu Nketiah went on his tirade against ex President Rawlings. The NDC has been condemning perceived injustices in the country. But I am surprised that, till date, nobody from the party has come out to condemn their General Secretary for his open bias and act of indiscretion on the day President Mills went to collect his nomination form.
Asiedu Nketiah said the ex-President had, the previous day, made some unsubstantiated allegations against the party hierarchy. And he chose such an ungodly period when Konadu’s rival/opponent had come to collect his form to respond to the allegations. Couldn’t he have chosen a better forum or call a Press Conference to make such a rebuttal?
What Asiedu Nketiah did that day was ungodly, uncharitable, unthinkable, unpalatable, unGhanaian and completely absurd! May God save us from the clutches and misdeeds of these Satanic Agents and Chemical Alis in the Nefarious and Cancerous Contraption!
Who are the Satanic Agents in the NDC? Fred Agbenyo has proved beyond all reasonable doubts that he is a leading member in the satanic camp. Why am I saying so? Today, on Asempa programme being hosted by Nana Bobbie Ansah after his interview with President Mills revealed his satanic intention when he alleged that Herbert Mensah has been holding nocturnal meetings with Nana Akufo-Addo, Boakye Agyarko and others on how to destroy the NDC. Boakye Agyarko quickly called into the programmed and denied having ever sat down with Herbert Mensah to discuss the NDC. He challenged Fred Agbenyo to provide evidence to that effect, but the latter, in spite of his ‘akakabinsem’, ‘atuturasem’, ‘patapaasem’ and his ‘paa paa’ chickened out with the explanation that he would do so at the appropriate time. Which time would be more appropriate? Isn’t it the time when the person against whom the allegations were made against was on the line?
Liar that you are, Fred Agbenyo! I dare you to provide the so called evidence if you have balls dangling between your two legs and if indeed, you are the true son of your father? I dare you to do so within two days, otherwise, you should recoil into your shell in shame!
