The wrongly wired Ghanaian!

If you know better and you hit the airwaves and the public sphere with tales of alternatives, the wrongly wired Ghanaian could become your deadliest foe. He is going to come after you with all he’s got. He is going to defend with his last breath the same irresponsible government officials who are raping his present and mortgaging his future. If you look at things closely, this is to be expected. You are rocking the boat of the only world he knows. You are talking scornfully about the only experience of the world he can boast of. You are saying that his world is inadequate, corrupt, hopeless, unacceptable, and indefensible. You are saying that the only national space he knows is inferior to the paleolithic age. He will fight you. He will abuse you. This is what makes him the most reliable weapon in the hands all those who make a living by retailing lies, deceit, and illusion on behalf of Ghanaian's corruption and impunity. The wrongly wired Ghanaian is their greatest asset. H...
