  A humorous departure from the emptiness, cynicism, pettiness, partisanship and tribal divide. Can you tell me the origin of "me da w'ase" Thank you.

  Insightful!
  A biting social critique of current governance and "hope" for a way forward, for Nkrumah's Ghana Nation/Sikaman!

  Insightful!
  A biting social critique of current governance and "hope" for a way forward, for Nkrumah's Ghana Nation/Sikaman!
  
  Nana Awere Damoah even settles our recent little argument about "Ebo"/Fog, and the origin of Akan!
  
  
  But to the "Amalaman Ahenfie Police."
  
  Tell them to the Odikro!
  
  Tell them!
  
  Tell them when their stomachs are full of imported Amala: "....let him hear that we are cynical because they don’t see the Ahenfie Police bring to book those who borrowed cowries from the chest of the State. Let Odikro hear!
  
  THEN THIS: "...See, I learnt many market days ago from the chief who used to sit astride the Unicorn in the Big City that hope is not a strategy..."
  
  TO WHICH PROF LUNGU SAYS: Neither is "Divine Intervention.
  
  But it is all in there, like in the "cynicism from the Catechist," like in the "Obo Kwahu fog at dawn"!
  
  
  AND ALSO THIS: "...Let it reach the ears of Odikro that the citizens of Sikaman say that there is a cure to the cynicism and it doesn’t lie in proverbs and the cracking of them as if they were palm kernel..."
  
  WE SAY: Point well made!
  
  A lot of so-called "traditional knowledge" are proverbs. But by their very nature, proverbs are always contradictory, vague, or both. Proverbs are not principles to govern a Sikaman worth anything!
  
  Let Odikro hear!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  Thanks, Nana Awere Damoah!
