In the Name of NDC: Ahwoi Should Piss & Drink it All!

*By Akadu Ntiriwa Mensema, Ph. D.

“NDC CASHPRO-thievery-guru, Kwamena Ahwoi, says the mere mention of the NPP

makes him feel like urinating. He said at the Sunyani NDC Congress last Saturday

that he felt like visiting the gents to urinate whenever he heard the NPP being

mentioned. Mr. Ahwoi was comfortably sitting [when] the MC, Elvis Afriyie

Ankrah, announced that the NPP’s representatives should come and deliver their

solidarity message. Mr. Ahwoi, at this juncture, stood from his seat and headed

towards the washroom, which was at the right hand side of the VIP stand. Upon

reaching where other NDC big wigs… were seated [Mr. Ahwoi] stopped… then

mockingly said, ‘The mention of the name of the NPP has made me feel like

urinating,’ to which Baba Jamal and Haruna Iddrisu as well as other people

present burst into laughter. Mr. Ahwoi headed straight to the washroom and

returned only after Sammy Awuku had finished the NPPs solidarity speech, which

lasted for some few minutes” (Abridged from Ghanaweb, July 11, 2011).

Yesterday’s poor Ahwois

Benighted SOCIALISTS

Wore battered Charley-wote

Wore bludgeoned tie & dye

Soiled with poverty blood

Their trousers were threadbare

Slaughtered from Tema Station

Ah! The “bend-down” boutique

They did a Jerry before 1979

Ah! They debited kokonte

Kokonte - “Face the Wall”

Today the SOCIALISTS have it

The Ahwois have it all

They have tasted wealth

They have tasted power

Ah! CASHPRO

Under JJ Rawlings

Ah! CASTLEPRO

Under Simpa Mills

Ahwois wear “designers”

No more threadbare tie-dye

They have expensive SUVs

No battered Charley-wote

They have it all made

Even have URINE made

The Ahwois have urinated

Have already urinated on JJ

The piss of Greedy Bastards

JJ made the Ahwois rich

JJ made Ahwois powerful

JJ plucked them all

From acidic poverty

Poverty of SOCIALISM

So let Kwamena Ahwoi piss

His bloating bladder is full

Full of stolen state wealth

CASHPRO-induced urination

All have short memories

Let the Ahwois urinate it all

Time has a way of pissing us

NDC, NPP, CPP, DFP

Ghana’s political DDTs

Poisons of our postcolony

Killers of the dream

Crusading for personal wealth

Thievery opponents they are

They are not antipodal enemies

Uncouth Kwamena Ahwoi

The CEDI-less SOCIALIST

Now a predatory BILLIONAIRE

Urinates on himself in public

Holding his small shrinking tail

Tail between his shriveling legs

Urinates from his withering mind

Uncouth Kwamena Ahwoi

Like an asinine sheep

Strutting in a public place

Dunce-ing in malice

Ahwoi did it all in public

Like the proverbial sheep

It farted, pissed, soiled

It dropped it all

Droppings on its tail

Besmeared in excreta

Like the proverbial sheep

Ahwoi disgraced himself

Not the NPP

The bellyful Ahwois

Kwamena Ahwoi

Kwasi Ahwoi

Ato Ahwoi

May urinate it all

Stolen wealth

Bellyful riches

CASHPRO it all

Corruption

Nepotism

Cronyism

Opportunism

The Ahwois may piss it all

At the mention of NDC

Not at the mention of NPP

NDC made them bellyful

NDC is their vessel of riches

NPP didn’t cause their bellyful

Keep pissing

Keep urinating

Kwamena Ahwoi

You can afford to piss

Piss on anyone, anyone

Time is the arbiter, the arbiter

Time will tell and time will tell

When, how, where, whom, who, what

You will piss on your shrinking small tail

Shrinking small tail between your scrawny legs
