Kofi Wayo is a True patriot

Sun, 8 Aug 2010 Source: Transient Justice

While the elites of the NPP and the NDC seek to render Kofi Wayo a clown not worth listening to I, as an objective Citizen of Ghana, must deem him the most erudite politician in Ghana today. Sure his words are hard and tough but, our level of development requires men of integrity like Wayo to wake the nation up. If the nation is not woken up now then, the next 50 years will be like the last 50 years.

Ghana as a nation continues to use the same Neo-Colonial mechanisms and, prays for different results. A simple search of Ghana at Yahoo news will pull up all recent articles of Ghana and, if one looks carefully it becomes evident that this administration is selling the nation to the powers that be. I constantly read of news of Loans from X organization Y and, blah blah blah… Thus, what is going on? Why is Atta Mills in essence enslaving his great grandchildren who are unborn in the misery of endless debt? Does he not understand that all of this will eventually need to be paid? What type of Neo-colonial agent did Ghanaians vote for? If one listens past the jokes Kofi Wayo’s message is right along these lines but, the NEO-colonial powers in Ghana have implanted the idea in people’s mind that he is a clown thus, everything he says is SOMETIMES viewed as a joke rather than serious advice.

Kofi Wayo is a man ahead of his time and, this is evident by his utterances. Nothing he says about the socio-economic status of Ghana is false. He talks about the simple things like water, electricity and, other basic needs that our Neo-Colonial government has failed to provide and, the people who are not providing the water call him crazy. But, who is crazy, the man who is leaving you to die in thirst or, the one telling you that you deserve water? This is why the Neo-Colonial administrations (NDC and NPP) have either tried to buy him off or, have tried to kick him out of the mainstream… The NDC may be on the brink of buying him off and, it will truly be a shame. He is only recently making a comeback and, everything he has said thus far has been spot on.

Kofi Wayo is the only Nkrumahist left in Ghana. All the others have been bought and, are now serving their colonial masters and, corporate interests… The recent STX deal which was forced through parliament is an example of this… Developing countries like Ghana are vulnerable to the corporate world that has money and other resources to influence the greedy selfish Neo-colonial government. These guys running our affairs don’t believe in the ideas of Self reliance, long term planning, and taking tough decisions. They move slow because, they are waiting to see if the corporate world approves of their governing decisions etc etc.

So there you have it. Kofi Wayo should be left to speak freely and, to call out the thugs who continue to rob Ghana with impunity. He has more credibility than the others who have no moral right because of previous mishaps. Let him speak boldly about the fact that Ghanaians deserve better than our current predicament. Maybe ears will finally hear and, bring the change that people need.
