Where is Wikileak's disclosure of secret State Department
cables on Ghana
By Fredua Dankwa Jr.
As the American people scratch their collective heads to resolve
the diplomatic nightmare caused by Wikileak's disclosure of
secret State Department cables, I am really infuriated by the
fact that there were no juicy, intimate cables on Ghana.
Come on!! where are the Ghana cables? This is not right, now I
really hope they find this Assange character and add
discrimination to his charges. I know the Yanks have a few
unflattering and derogatory cables on us.
So I've decided that if the mountains won't come to Mohammed,
Mohammed will have to go to the mountains. That's right; I will
have to resort to using my imagination - darn it. So here we go!
I suspect the cables on Ghana might read something like this:
This freaking place is like a zoo, the so-called leaders are
parading around here spending untold amounts of money on
frivolous stuff whilst kids go to school under trees. They don't
have the basic common amenities yet their officials are riding
aimlessly in the most expensive gas-guzzling SUVs.
Their unregulated FM radio airwaves are like Comedy Central -
hilarious, they haul insults at each other with utter disregard
for human decency. Zero civility; as these knuckle heads try to
out-scream each other. It's a travesty how a country with
so much natural and human resources can find multiple ways to
screw things up for themselves.
There's no sense of community and nobility in this place. It's
all about what each one of these coons can stuff in their
personal coffers. You know how in our neck of the woods even a
bunch of irresponsible teenagers can get together and manage a
McDonalds efficiently? Well, these blank-blanks can't manage a
chicken coop if theirlives depended on it. The sad thing is,
they have so many intelligent and capable people who can
actually fix this place; but the lazy, corrupt, and vindictive
ones will not let them anywhere near their loot.
By the way, the new craze here is the oil, every pot-bellied
blank-blank is jostling for position to grab their "share" even
before production starts, the rush is on to get petrol-chemical
(mis)management related online degrees. These are the most
self-absorbed, short-sighted blank-blanks you will ever see
anywhere in the world, but look on the bright side, the more
they stay that way, the better for us. The media houses here are
a big joke, they try to out-do each other as to who can make up
the most bizarre and sensationalistic headlines. They are super
fixated on the
four 'Johns' so much so that any news article that is not about
one or more of the 'Johns' is not considered news worthy. You
have to understand that party loyalty here supersedes the
welfare of the country, and most people have a John they
worship, they don't give a crap about infrastructures or
government systems as long as their favorite John is in charge.
The bottom line is, we have to streamline and re-assess our
strategic operations in Ghana as the Chinese are feverishly
bidding and buying the stomachs of key players here on the
cheap.

secret State Department cables on Ghana, Part II
Commentary, Dec 31, Ghanadot -
They are finally moving their seat of government from the
Danish-built slave castle to the Indian miniature Taj Mahal and
the hot subject is what to call it, albeit spending a little
