Dear Editor

Dear Editor I would be extremely sincere if you have me a space in your unbiased, non-partisan, unintimidating and unquestionable up-to-standard newspaper to voice my long pregnant plight. Cos I'm really loosing my patience. This goes out to all christians especially men and women of collar. The Politician has failed us. Why? Sir if you are to witness the number of people just in Accra here who cannot afford common portable drinking water to drink and food to eat, when the Politician for every month takes nothing less than GHC10,000 (all forms of allowances, committee sitting and all benefits put together). I think you'll regret the day Ghana become a republic. If it's Accra then how much more our underprivileged, decaying, stinking, and abandoned, empty, dark, far-away poor villages.So I ask myself do our so called leaders really care? Sir, I find it regrettably incomprehensible wheneva I hear some christians kicking against politics that it's not for them. If politics is not for them who then do they expect to get into politics for them to enjoy? Fools and horses or what? Lai lai. Of all what I consider to be highly obnoxious is whenever some men and women of God especially our wonderful and intelligent Jehovah's Witnesses boldly and ignorantly, without any shame or whatsoever of its kind, stand infront of their expectantly and patiently waiting, ready to be adviced congregation to advice them deplorably to shun politics. As though politics is something of the devil. And as if politics is something which emanated from the devil's eyes. If for nothing at all let it be for the indirect taxes we all pay not to mention direct tax. To every intelligent Economist it is only the fool who demands no accountability from his leader even though he pays taxes. You see. And also remember that if Ghana crashes we all crash along with it. Sometimes I cry for my Country cos to me and to most people Ghana is wasting her tym. Cos it's as if we've forever burried our heads in Kweku Ananse story unwilling to come out from humour. Sometimes I just look at the Aglow women people who every now and then pray for our nation and laugh. Cos No amount of prayers can save our dear nation from perishing and languishing when what is expected of us is swept under the nylon carpet this tym kraa I hear it's no longer woolen. Most christians are disgracing God. Most christians are very very coward and decides to remain compromisingly silent at the faces of insane incidents. But, you know one thing, whenever there is any form of scuffle or skirmish. The only Fortunate are the Politician and some few people of means who will fly the family abroad for haven. And come to think of it Ghana is a developing nation and the standard of living of her people is very very deplorable. Instead of christians who are strongly and undoubtedly touted as the light and salt of the world fighting a good cause for the poor, vulnerable, diseased, persons with disabilities, mentally challenged, groaning workers, and the hopelessly broken Ghanaians who walk up and down, day and night not knowing which way to go let alone where they might die, they are rather the ones that hide under pillows after eating Auntie Muni Waakye. Pls christians let's be reasonable for once. If not for anything at all let's do it for the generations yet unborn who would have to bear with the spoilt society of ours some day to come. Cos I always say and will always keep on saying it I wont stop. That if the leaders of this nation abuses the nation and nobody, not even christians stand up to speak against them proudly and boldly. A tym will come that I shall never forgive them God forgive me for saying that. I will have them all included and blast them with their shame. That upon all these years that God gave you, you could not even help save the nation in longsuffering and it was during your tym that our nation nearly got clashed. I just hope my dear Ghana wouldn't get near clashing. Mr. Editor, Permit me to also end with a sonnet I had long written for the church and Politics. Thank you very kindly. Two country. 1. All large, all powerful. The white collar, and the political suit. 3. That be the way of gentlemen. 4.Two country, the church and Politics. The disarray yard of better thinking. 6.Where wishful thinking men shun no blinking 7. Cos' the pulpit wouldn't stand that mingling And now bribery and corruption feed our land like imperialism 9. If the nation crashes we all crash along with it. Two country, for fear of public ridicule just a few are openly talking about right or wrong, the true feature of hooliganism. 11. Tear not into pieces the words of the scripture. As Christians as taxpayers, forget about Politics and remain silent. 13. Oh, two country, I seem not to understand. 14. But for Jesus Christ, hallelujah, men and women of God would have been in Political suits. But, for Jesus. Thanks. Sefah Ato Welbeck, fmr Econ Stud.
