Less than a month to the December 7, 2024 General Election, Nana Obiri Boahen sat for a radio interview, if Yours Truly recalls accurately, in which the former General Secretary of the recently seismically ousted ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) informed his audience of bona fide Ghanaian citizens and voters that as an institutional establishment, the leadership of the country's main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) was more responsive to the needs of its rank-and-file membership than its New Patriotic Party counterpart.

The establishment of the so-called Operation Recover-All-Loot (ORAL) Anti-Corruption Initiative makes unarguable mockery of the “Second Coming” of

Pontifically and self-righteously downplaying the integral and the organic significance of “Social Justice” as a potent part and parcel of Academic

I have been well aware of the age-old hostilities between the institutional establishment of The Okyenhene or The Ofori-Panyin Stool and the Chief and the good people of Asamankese (Asaremankese) ever since I can remember, because it was the legendary Omanpanyin Nana Kwabena Ayimadu, of Akyem-Kwabeng, resident across the street from the old Kwabeng Middle Boarding School, and the post-menopausal beloved husband of my paternal great-grandmother, Nana Adwoa Appeakoramaa, of Kyebi-Aburaso, Adadientem and Asante-Juaben - I suppose the Dear Reader could also add Asante-Mampong - who used to routinely settle any disputes that arose or erupted between the Paramount King of Akyem-Abuakwa, in particular Nana Sir Ofori-Atta, I - aka Barima Kwaku Duah, “The Original” - and the people of Asamankese.

It presages and redoles of downright madness, when one who claims to have won a “clean” and an “emphatic” victory in Ghana's December 7, 2024 General Election also begins to whine and point accusing fingers at the very political opponents whom one claims to have roundly and thoroughly defeated for acts of heinous criminality and mischief that have already been forensically proven to have been committed by partisans and hirelings of the claimant of unimpeachable victory and triumph.

As the grim and the practical reality of leadership responsibility hits a “Mistakes-Correcting” President-Elect John “I Have No Classmates in Ghana” Dramani Mahama, the infamous “Kabonga-Maligning” Bole-Bamboi native from the Akufo-Addo-created Savannah Region and former Arch-Lieutenant to the late President John Evans Atta-Mills has begun rapturously preaching the imperative need for the marshaling of the cross-partisan human resources of the country to facilitate the swift and the progressive economic recovery of the country.

It is rather scandalously fascinating how young and prominent Asian American entrepreneurs like the high-flying Mr. Vivek Ramaswamy and other “swami-like” India-Pakistan-descended second- and third-generation American citizens have come to take the unarguably African-minted and Western-European-veneered Modern Hi-Tech Civilization that is The United States of America for granted and, like some of their White-American predecessors and contemporaries, have cavalierly and contemptuously come to envisage the Real and the True Makers of Contemporary American Civilization and Culture with insufferable disdain. On the latter question, we naturally have the infamous Mr. Dinesh D'Souza in mind.

Predictably and absurdly, it was all to be expected that the former Deputy Minister for Local Government and Rural Development would suddenly emerge from the proverbial woodwork and take some potshots at the twice, consecutively elected and outgoing President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, including the downright pedestrian charge that the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice is so narcissistic that he spent an inordinate amount of his 8-year term in office singing songs of praises to himself effusively, instead of attending to the pressing needs of the Ghanaian people (See “

Going into the November 5, 2024 US Presidential Election, Kamala Devi Harris - aka Mrs. Kamala D. Emhoff - had too many negative strikes going against her, as it were, not the least of which was the Israeli-Palestinian Question, in particular the complex concatenation of horrific and catastrophic events both immediately leading up to and following the October 7, 2023 Hamas-orchestrated paramilitary assault on the southern fringes of the Jewish State of Israel that resulted in a casualty count in excess of some 1,400 massacred Israeli citizens and others celebrating a religious holiday at an open-air party, and the swift Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) response that culminated in an estimated casualty count in excess of 40,000 massacred Palestinian citizens, largely unarmed civilians, on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Like a sizeable majority of Ghanaian-born sojourners in the diaspora, I am incurably and implacably allergic to the leadership and the judiciary-liquidating ideological establishment of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). So, the Dear Reader can reasonably fathom the extremely difficult time that Yours Truly is having readjusting to the return of President John “I Have No Classmates in Ghana” Dramani Mahama - aka President Ahmed Tinubu of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ghana (We shall, of course, be shortly revisiting this most scandalous but, nevertheless, not the least flabbergasting episode) - to Jubilee House and to the helm of the affairs our beloved Sovereign Democratic Republic of Ghana.
