Social revolution & Sense of Urgency to Solve Ghana & Kumawuman Problems

I am sorry to acknowledge how a fact it is that Ghanaians, especially the inhabitants of Kumawuman, have no sense of urgency. They are accustomed to letting fate take its natural course irrespective of how long it takes whereas the Whiteman bends fate to suit them. Our culture has made us so latent. This explains why Ghana is poor though in the midst of plenty. The Whiteman on the other hand is rich regardless the harsh condition they find themselves in.

In Ghana, we always give credit to the elderly. Cases are always decided in favour of the elderly regardless how irresponsible their acts may oftentimes be when they lock horns with the youngster. If really Ghana wants to prosper, then social revolution giving discerning youngsters a say on issues will be the only remedy. Our infatuation with unquestionably kowtowing to the elderly and especially our traditional heads should be outdated. Such atavistic behaviour impugns our progress.

Some traditional overlords have been so irresponsible in decision-making and problem resolutions yet; no one questions their behaviour as in line with our usual progress-retarding culture. I beg to differ. I will rub salt in their wounds if they should think to commit crime with impunity. We should hold them accountable for their acts.

Sadly, most Kumawuman citizens are of the opinion that the fight to liberate Kumawuman from the ramshackle rule as is currently in place is the sole responsibility of the Ananangyas/Odumases. Such erroneous intimations show how Kumawuman citizens are the enemies of themselves. Kumawuhemaa and Kontrihene are wasting the resources of your birthplace yet you ignorantly put up that attitude of nonchalance. It is never true that the wealth of Kumawuman belongs solely to one person or the paramount royal family as wrongly portrayed by the late Barimah Asumadu Sakyi II. It belongs to the entire citizens of the area with the chief or the royal family simply as the overseer.

Do you think about posterity? Then be part of those well-meaning citizens fighting to restore sanity to Kumawu traditional rule. You are to assist spiritually, physically and financially. Do not be habitually stingy.

I am once more calling on the entire Ananangya/Odumase citizens resident abroad to donate funds towards the good course as stated in my article of Saturday, 30th July 2011 titled "Philanthropists to tackle the Enemies of Kumawuman"

Will those traditional heads or chiefs playing God; or with their heads buried in the sand like ostrich be ashamed forever?
