OSAGYEFO DR. KWAME NKRUMAH AND NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO COMPARISON BROUHAHA BY DR. MATTHEW OPOKU PREMPEH - PART 1
Busily at the market buying a single small tomato at GHc 5.00, the first time in the history of our country, Lady Mouse hears the blasphemy of that overly - arrogantly uncultured brat who brands himself a royal from the paternal family lineage which grossly contradicts the Ashanti customs. She boisterous puts the items at the kitchen to have this chat with the husband, a male animal well-versed in customary and political history of his country as thus:
Jack Crab: Respectfully welcome my love as our illiterate but most knowledgeable elders say, " Odupon tutu a, efiri mmiremirewa," - " the biggest tree which falls produces or gives smallish sweet mushrooms." Contrarily, " Odupon tutu tra nsuo a, y3de y3 3twene," - " The biggest tree which falls across a river is turned into a foot bridge," he ended.
Lady Mouse: I suppose you have heard the news too of that whose father, mother or grandparents had been non achievers who could simply be described in Yuroba language as "efulefu," which means "worthless" like Unoka, the father of Okwonkwo in " Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe so will go all out to eat with his two hands which is very characteristic of these typical villagers who only come to Accra on political positions. Don't mind children of these days, my dear. You think I've not the least idea of what you mean per your proverbs? Ha ha ha, I know as only the shrimp knows whenever a crab is in stomach pains.
Jack Crab: You really know, my dear but does one take the soup when "fufu" is being served? The young male fowl knows the day break, yet listens to the mother.
Lady Mouse: Our elders said, " A bad stomach does not know it has been enemaed." But he must know that he who the gods want to destroy, they first make mad.
Jack Crab: Thank you, my wife as the dog does not give birth to a cat. I thank you for learning to speak in proverbs. Does one waste time to defend the palm-weevil on allegations of rape?
Lady Mouse: No, my love as the walk of a palm-wine rather inculpates him of the accusation whether it is true or not just because of the way it walks wiggling the waist. Was it not just on his last three days visit to the Manhyia Palace that he was seriously advised by the Overlord not to make the "arrogance tag" be a reality? Ha ha ha, s3 ade3 3b3y3 kokote a, onam a, n'oteta. The "kokobo" jumps into the bandwagon of flatulence when something is about to happen to it.
Sir Crab: Surprisingly he calls himself as someone from a royal family too.
Lady Mouse: Ha ha ha! Anyone can call himself an "Ekouoba" but know that not all or every "Ekuorba" can be a royal of the "Ekouona" Clan. When you hear the sound of a pestle hitting a mortar, go get yours too, for they are punsing but only cassava or it's nothing but "Koobi" soup. Does this mushroom from a tree not know that you also come from a royal background, my dear?
Sir Crab: He's naive as we must know that when the great tree falls, surely the pawpaw like this brat replaces it. He must apologize as I'll make sure the good people of Nzema show him their bare teeth. All well - meaning Ghanaians must so same. Yes, I'm indeed a royal as my back is Old Juaben from where my late mother's mother migrated from with her mother as a young child. My late father's father is from Asante Effiduase which I have visited. Hope you remember I have been to Fomena Adansi or? That's also another family of my mother's side which was first to settle there as I belong to the "Kronti" stool or gate. Is this salted fish more royal than I do, my dear?
Lady Mouse: Ha ha ha! This young arrogant brat has dipped cassava into red oil. But why do you speak in simple English, my husband? You are noted not for plain but ornate language of the British queen or? Haaba!
Sir Mouse: Does Ntikuma dose off under the tree from which Kwaku Ananse has fallen? Does that damn crack pot read aside grabbing money and property with his two hands and legs? He claims to have studied in the UK but can neither write nor speak better English than I do, my love. That is how they are! They come from the muddiest part of our forest areas as they only chance on the opportunity to live in Accra just by means of politics. Did he not promise construction of 350 senior high schools? Ask him of how many he has been able to build.
Sadly, it was just on his visit to the Overlord of Asante Kingdom that he's made this unfortunate statement. He's was told, " Do not let the arrogance tag on you be a reality." He did not listen. Look at this who wants to be a president of this country! Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah had toiled for independence for us in vain as look at these flotsam and jetsam scrambling for state property as if there is no tomorrow.
Lady Mouse: He has crossed the boundaries but please, just be gentle with him. Just tell the little to take away the anger in your heart, my love.
Sir Crab: Thanks, my wife as that is how his political tradition is. Did he look at his mouth before speaking? The house help who respects sleeps in the bed of a family head. However, the house help who disrespects is shown his place of origin. I don't think this "idiot" has anything good for this country. It's not his making because he now owns houses and lands in Accra. Neither his father, mother nor grandparents built even a mud house as Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah never had any. The house he bought from his own money for the mother was taken from the poor woman after the son's overthrow. I personally began visits to Accra for holidays as far back as 1987 with another grandma who owned a nursery school with the husband at Kaneshie No.1, just third lane off the main Pentecost Church, second house on the left, defunct "Fairly Tales Day Care Center" as you should ask this braggart-loose talker whether his father, mother or grandparents owned a house in the heart of Accra. " Per his age, he's just five years than I do as never can he be a coeval of my late father's age as his perhaps a younger brother for which I can stare at him in the face to tell all the nonsense from my chest. Since when did he come to Accra since his birth? Kwaakwaa kyirebiabo ne Kyirebiabo nam koto nkosua aduasa, na Kwaakwaa kyirebiabo ne Kyirebiabo kowh3 nkosua no n'ebi abo a, odasani nim ho bi." Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah was selfless as a greatest achievement over this diminutive statutered animal as leader of our country.
Lady Mouse: I don't think this forest young animal, now a running mate indeed sleeps on a pillow my dear. I pleaded with you not to go far about him but hmmm, he's unwise. I quite remember the former editor of Ghanaian Chronicle newspaper, Kofi Koomsom once said, " I cannot sleep if Nana Addo becomes president." Here's his stone! The UP/NPP tradition, the most evil political lineage. Look at how the former president, John Agyekum Kufuor erased the pictures of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah from the Ghanaian currency until it was reinstated by late Prof. Evans Atta Mills, which again, has been done same to by Nana Addo. The Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah's Remembrance Day has been replaced. I don't think he indeed comes from a royal family because I'm told it's his father who comes from Kumasi and as to the part he comes from, another day's issue. As an Akan, he inherits maternally for which reason he's a royal from the mother's side but not the father, my wife. A half-baked royal indeed! No wander he does not read as I don't think he can in any better position speak impeccably the Asante Twi with you, my love.
Was your late mother's father not a royal of the Kenyasi No. 1 chief's palace just by the road to Antoa which you have visited very closest to the house in which your uncle Adai resides? Who's more royal as compared with this braggart who comes from the deepest part of the forest belt as his only presence in Accra has been nothing but political appointment, my dear? When did meat become scarce that the meat of a mouse has become so expensive? Anyway, we always apologize to the crab when prices of meat generally become expensive.
Sir Crab: Was the KNUST he attended built by his mother, father, or grandparents? He claims to have studied in the UK. Did he visit the British Museum to see which Ghanaian effigies there in aside Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah and two others non of whom was a member of the UP tradition? He's damn a nincompoop! Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah did not sell any state land to his anyone as is this dumpy element not aware that his president has sold the exact location of where the dead Ghana Airways Plane stands to a family member? Bunch of thieves! Did this idiot not head the education ministry? How many a senior high school was he able to build in four years? Any university too aside remaining of the existing ones after their political echelons? Has he asked the number of secondary schools in Ghana built by Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah in just four years? What was he able to do for Tema Oil Refinery under his tenure as the Energy Minister? Has he indeed asked who built TOR? Was it his father, mother or grandparents? He must apologize or else face the roughest wrath as he's nothing but an astronomically failure for presidency. He who fights and runs away, lives to find another. It is high time the Gas or good people of the Greater Accra Region stop these brats whose forefathers toiled not for the independence of this country but reaping unearned benefits than no other persons. Were Dr. Arko Adjei and Emmanuel Obitsebi Lamptey not Gas who sowed the grains of independence of our nation but how much have their descendants reaped from the national cake of this country? Things will surely change some day, I pray.
Lady Mouse: Take time they don't put you behind bars my love. They harrased Cameron Duodu, editor of the Daily Graphic under Busia. Kofi Badu, editor of the Ashanti Pioneer was not spared in likewise manner. You have said enough, leave this bush young arrogant animal alone!
Sir Crab: Ha ha ha! You know he who walks with the Supreme Most High Being and Nananom fears no death? Look at the dirty this brat braggart has made of Ghana without a shred of sweat! Did Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah steal from the coffers of this country? Ha ha ha, does he not claim himself an Ashanti? Hope you know I rear fowls so do not lack local eggs or? When the most difficult happens, we break wall to mount wall, my late father's father had always told me. Are the Rivers Pra, Tano and Densu, the three - headed Deity and president of Eastern Regional rivers alive of which we shall go to wash ourselves clean? They can put me behind bars but the gods will speak. I just need three bottles of local drink, same number of local eggs and three well-sharpened cutlasses to speak to the rivers. After all, did our forefathers not adjudicate cases justly before the coming of the white man's court? I'm not afraid of any animal since the truth is my weapon, my love. That buffon, must go and come back properly for blasphiming against the truest African Messiah.
According to my thesis supervisor, Prof. Antonia Madukwe, learning must contribute to knowledge. I, a non entity, have at least three titles on Amazon as my contribution to knowledge as Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah launched his book, " Ghana-A Nation Reborn," on 1st July, 1960 as displayed in the edition of the Daily Graphic, Monday, July 1, 2024, page 48. Has this non- reading brat even a booklet to his credit? Did his father, mother or grandparents write anything to contribute to knowledge for the good of at least this country of ours? Is he aware that the USA library cannot contain the number of books written by and on Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah? Ha ha ha!
I am very humble because growing as a child, my late grandmother, that is, my late mother's mother always told me that, ' The hungry person does not eat with both hands," and again, " he who is thirsty does not dip the mouth into the sea." By these, I don't look at someone's dance to dance my dance, an elderly would say. There sits plenty gold in the 20-acre farmland of my late grandma which I've informed all siblings. But alas, what would these brats have done if such wealth lodged in their land? Surely, they would have gone for excavators to turn and upset the womb of this land as if there is no tomorrow, my dear. Respectfully may the Supreme Most High Being and Nananom have mercy on us as animals. He must apologize else, face what he's not seen once as may the spirit of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah hunt, haunt and taunt him on his electioneering as he should read about how animals like Kotoka, Afrifa died for their filthiest role they played in the overthrow of the Black Africans Messiah. Did Emperor Haile Selasie not order a 21-gun salute in honour of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah on his arrival for the inauguration of OAU and ask this idiot of whose statue stands Infront of the OAU headquarters. Did his mother, father or grandparents come close to this faet? Haaba!
