My dear grandson,

Read the following very attentively, this is the ghost of your maternal granduncle, TheOdikro returning a pwerful punch straight into your face: "'No Need For Pres. Kufuor To Be Defensive' Indeed!" What about you? I feel-duty bound to warn you, right from the very beginning, with the unrestrained contempt, and with all my might of wonder and horror, my very deep unhappiness at your half-puerile half-crazy attempts to throw dust into our eyes! The first thing I want to say to you is that you got the title of your article very wrong! I also felt the same way that the attack on you rather looked like an attack on Kufour. I do regret the confusion. However, with this latest article from you, I have no doubts that the message has, by one way or the other, finally sank in. Everybody knows that you are the one on the defensive, not the former president Kufour. You have been under pressure long before the publication of "Prikus Kufourus Non Conscientum Habet!" Okoampa writes:

"Recently, a bitter critic who read my take on the Gizelle Yajzi circus wondered aloud, in the attached forum to my article on Ghanaweb.com, whether my apparent change in rhetorical tack and thematic thrust had anything to do with the clarion call for party unity in the aftermath of Nana Akufo-Addo's blowout victory in the most recent New Patriotic Party presidential primary."

I am happy to identify myself as the critic in question. Before I deal with him, I wish to repeat the question for the purposes of clarity. In the comment Okoampa is refering to, later developed in "Gizelle Yajzi/Yadzi: Prikus Kufuorus Non Conscientum Habet!", I wrote:

"The only thing that is news-worthy in your article is the fact that you now think Kofi Diawuo has anything resembling professional and personal intergrity! That is new. What you ought to know is that you put your own intergrity at stake in so doing! Yes, you cannot have your cake and eat it! "Let Your Yea Be Yea; and Your Nay, Nay." (Matthew 5:33). For someone who has done more than any member of the NPP to help us understand how repugnant this president has been, we are a bit taken aback by this sudden and absolutely meaningless defence of a person you would also love to hate so much! Have you seen something that we might not be privvy to? This is certainly what, you yourself would call 'a paradoxical oddity'. What happened?... Are we now seeing in full display the long-awaited problem of THE CONGNITIVE DISSONANCE OF THE AKYEM MAFIA? I know Kufuor is now like "Asantrofi Anoma" to you people, and you people are yet to make up your minds whether to like him or hate him! The problem is you would want to use his records to win votes, but at the same time you want to distance yourselves from the numerous scandals!" (See: Gizelle Yajzi/Yadzi: Prikus Kufuorus Non Conscientum Habet!, Feature Article of Wednesday, 25 August 2010, Columnist: Mensah, Nana Akyea)

This has nothing to do with "the clarion call for party unity"! If you cannot deal with what I said, never try to put words into my mouth! You ought to know from experience that it takes more than your limited abilities to muffle Nana Akyea Mensah! That famous comment was developed into a full-blown article. The article you are still timidly refering to as a comment, was more an attack on you rather than than the ex-president Kufour. I am not too sure you would still want to talk about the Gizelle Yajzi/Yadz scandal. It is almost off-news. Are you being teased somewhere? What has provoked this article of yours? If you are trying to hide behind Kufour to save your own face, I can assure you that it is needlessly stupid! You have no face to save and there is no need to hide, We know you cannot defend yourself and we see no need for that, anyway. Those of us who are a bit familiar with the psychological symptons of exposed charlatans, ot the kind of things charlatans do to cope with their exposure, are not surprised in the least! Very few find something interesting to say, the great majority of them behave in exactly the same way you are doing in the article under reference.

I took the trouble to quote the question as stated in the article and not the one from the comment because of the conspicious absence of an important diagnosis I made in the article, on of the "cognitive disonance of the Akyem Mafia!" Okoampa betrays his gang by showing these symptons in abundance. The tell-tale signs range from denial to a complete paralysis to deal and confront the problem. They even sometimes pretend they ain't seen nothing yet! Kwame Okoampa exhibits all these symptons. In fact, he does this so well that you may either clap for him or, at least, laugh at him! I chose to laugh. It is perfectly legal, so is clapping, but my hands are busy typing!

I think the only thing worth celebrating in this article of yours is the fact that we have finally succeeded in smoking you out to begin to take responsibility for the kind of nonsense you have been writing and contrary to your intnetions, and naturally against your wishes, begin to account for some of the dangerous and silly utterances coming from you! I am going to compell you to abandom your arrogant "literary objective" which "is not dictated by the ready availability of a discursive forum"! Just what do you want to tell us here? No one questions Okoampa's works? Hahahahaha! Hehehehehehe!

In the General News of Tuesday, 14 September 2010, was a news item, "Another Major Oil Find off Ghana", in which the good news was announced with very impressive statistics such as "British firm Tullow said Tuesday it has found what could be among the largest recent oil discoveries in Africa off the coast of Ghana, with the field holding a potential 550 million barrels." "The Jubilee field, discovered in 2007, is believed to hold some 1.8 billion barrels of reserves." "Government officials have vowed to carefully manage the country's oil reserves and revenue, vowing to avoid the mismanagement that has plagued nearby Nigeria, among the world's largest producers." The last sentence made me very sad indeed; "Ghana's recent oil discovery has however sparked a row with Ivory Coast over the border, with Accra accusing Abidjan of claiming part of its maritime space."

I was very sad that this problem is still on-going. I have written about this before when the Ivory Coast planned to celebrate its anniverssary with a special show involving Ghana. I wrote to oppose it and nothing was heard of it again. What we have heard nothing about is the health of the negotiations over the common boundaries. The last thing we need is instability due to a stupid border dispute. All peace-loving Ghanaians are praying for a fruitful outcome to the negotiations. I felt worried that such a dangerous problem is still a pending issue. Not long ago, I wrote to give a cautious welcome to a news item concerning the preparations of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of La Côte d'Ivoire:

"the news this Friday, 07 May 2010, Cote d'Ivoire Marks 50 Yrs, by Daily Guide, which contains the hope that Ghana and La Côte d'Ivoire, our immediate neighbour to the west, are doing everything possible to maintain very cordial relations is most welcome indeed. Not long ago, it was even feared that the two sister nations could be going to war over their dispute over their sea-border which incidentally is rich with high-quality crude, light and low in sulphur, easily processed into gasoline.. otherwise known as the black gold. I thus read with a certain sense of pride in the Africans' ability to reason for themselves and opt for peace and friendship rather than conflicts and wars!" (See: Ghana and La Côte d'Ivoire To Shame Okoampa & His Owners? Feature Article of Wednesday, 12 May 2010, Columnist: Mensah, Nana Akyea).

Annoyingly enough it reminded me of Okoampa's comments:

"I am glad that, finally, the Ivorians are beginning to assert their right of access and enjoyment of Ghana's purportedly new-found oil wealth... It also didn't quite make a lot of sense to me that an oil find that lay so dangerously close to Ghana's border with Côte d'Ivoire would also have been so [godlessly] uncharitable as to neatly parcel itself out for the exclusive benefit and enjoyment of Ghanaians while the war-seasoned Ivorians continued to languish in penury." - "Who Are These “Parliamentarian Drivers”? By Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Ph.D., Feature Article of Tuesday, 16 March 2010.

I would be very interesting for science, to examine Okoampa's claim that he is also seeking the "collective development of Ghana", after describing me "as definitely more dangerous to Ghana's secuity interests than any bases that President Obama may be intent on acquiring in the West African subregion!" Could someone ask Okoampa to explain himself further on this? Am I missing something? I can't believe my eyes!

One of the things Okoampa can do immediately to have his peace is to retract that statement and apologize profusely for such utterances, instead of writing silly articles. As I wrote in a previous article, "Okoampa continues by making demeaning remarks about his fellow countrymen. To use such language indicates comtempt for Ghanaian men and women. Why would any Ghanaian who considers his country's vital interests so dispensable, still present himself as a member of a "Think Tank" and expect respect from his fellow Ghanaians? What does it mean if this man presents Nana Akufo Addo as his favourite candidate, and Akufo Addo approves of this association with him? Is Akuffo Addo telling us that the Danquah Institute "think tank" is fast becoming nothing but a nest of politically virulent and toxic ideas contempt for the Ghanaian people?" (See: Is It Not Time For Akuffo Addo To Distance Himself From The Danquah Institute Altogether?)."

The others include refrainning from lecturing anyone about Ghana's political history and struggle for independence. You must learn to keep your J. B. Danquah in your toilet and stop the silly campaign to get the University of Ghana, Legon, to be named after J. B. Danquah. It is a very silly campaign. How do you propose for the acceptance of a self-respecting nation, that we name our very first university after a man who believed in the ritual murder of innocent people? Is that the role model you want for our youth? I have given enough details in "Must Sekou Thank Pres. Mills for Not Being Pres. Nkrumah?" Columnist: Nana Akyea Mensah, Feature Article | Wed, 28 Jul 2010. You will need to throw more light on his involvement, or lack of it, in discouraging the practice from the point of view of the law, the source of the confusion leading to the human sacrifice of Nana Akyea Mensah.

You are very annoying because you have the guts to insult Sekou's father as a murderer, yet you do not want others to mention the very sordid and horrible rituals that J. B. Danquah adhered to, simply because, according to you, he was a "great-granduncle from my father's side of the family"! Not all children behave this way, of course, but among adults, you are indeed a rare phenomenon. If you don't want your ancestors to be insulted, why do you go about insulting someone's' father? How dare you promote the establishment of US military bases in Ghana and still present yourself as a patriot without expecting some challenge from well-meaning Ghanaians?

Okoampa writes in his retreat with his tail in his hind-legs:

"All the same, I will not name the critic for two reasons: One, I am not in the shameless business of affording unpaid publicity to people I deem not to be especially meaningful vis-à-vis the general and collective development of Ghana, as I perceive the same to be. And two, because I have never felt the need to justify the motive, or the lack thereof, for that matter, behind every article that I write and publish on Ghanaweb.com or any other major Ghanaian-oriented website."

As for me, I shall continue to mention your name because my litrary skills are capable of making a difference between "cheap popularity"

and "notoriety"! I am here to cloth you with your well-deserved notoriety! You are being very economical with the truth here. The fact of the matter is that you know from experience that each time you mention my name I respond with the WEREMPE custom, which you don't want people to know! My name is not an issue. I have told you several times that if what I am saying is true, it does not matter who says it!

Therefore, much as I applaud your fears and for dutifuly refraining from directly refering to me by name, deeds, or identity references, I take that as a sign of very special respect. You know very well what happens when you break the simple rule! Always remember the last time around you mentioned me by name! Never forget that you are under very strict orders which forbid you to mention me by the name! I accept that gesture. Thank you very much for the first sign of respect from you!! Much as I am aware of how very tiresome you have been in incultating the idea that it is not worth your while to mention my name in vain (because of the predictable and inevitable reprissals I shall visit upon you with allussions to the WEREMPE custom), I cannot help but admire your progress! You needed to learn the hard way, but like Justice Sarpong of Ghanaweb and your cousin, Alex Amoako-Atta, learning you are! In fact, it gives me so much pleasure to say in all sincererity that, you are learning very fast! You are smarter than you look! Good boy! Keep it up! Grand Pa is proud of you! Of course, you still have a long way to go, but a journey of a thousand kilometres begin with just one step. I am an optimist, and, as the great Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah loved to sing, "the distant scene, one step is enough for me"! Keep it up, grandson! That's my boy!

It is obvious that Okoampa did not even think about what he was writing and its revealing significance. It is very curious that for someone "not in the shameless business of affording unpaid publicity to people I deem not to be especially meaningful vis-à-vis the general and collective development of Ghana, as I perceive the same to be." So by this are we to understand that, if we are to take him seriously, his attacks on people like Mr. J. J. Rawlings, "the former Ex-President" of Ghana, was because he Okoampa "deems" such persons "to be especially meaningful vis-à-vis the general and collective development of Ghana"? Since when has he been writing only about persons who are "especially meaningful vis-à-vis the general and collective development of Ghana"?

He finds it easier to attack Rawlings but not me, because he knows I shall hit back! I am happy however, that after a series of insults, he is calming down with much more civil referrences such as "a bitter critic". I used to be a "clinical idiot", "an arrant fool" "cretinous imposter" and "poor excuse of humanity", not so long ago:

"I will not dignify the cut-and-paste drivel of this cretinous imposter with either a reading or a rejoinder." Okoampa writes under "Comment: A Clowning Imposter and Clinical Idiot", "It is murderous enough to have an arrant fool like this bumpkin assume the glorious name of my maternal granduncle and then proceed to criminally libel another great-granduncle from my father's side of the family. Still, ...May God forgive this poor excuse of humanity." (See: Comment: A Clowning Imposter and Clinical Idiot, Author: Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Date: 2010-07-28 12:45:21, Comment to: "Must Sekou Thank Mills for Not Being Pres. Nkrumah?" Feature Article of Wednesday, 28 July 2010, Columnist: Mensah, Nana Akyea)

And by the way, did I hear you say you do not want to mention my name? Since when did you take such a resolution? Was it after the following? Quite earlier on, Okoampa had commented:

"Akufo-Addo and Akyem Mafia Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe | 2/28/2010 11:03:00 PM Mr. Masmadi is so ashamed of his own name that he has decided to unconscionably hog the venerated name of my maternal granduncle, even as he stolidly lambastes the Danquah Institute (DI), perhaps the foremost institutional promoter of democratic governance in our country, as "Akyem Mafia."

If this Ali Masmadi (such a grotesque name) pug were not out of his mind, that is assuming he really has a mind of his own, why would he so proudly and shamelessly sport the name of an Akyem chief? I bet this clown needs prompt psychiatric examination.

Is he also ashamed of being a Kyerepong boy, of belonging to the very group Okyeman rescued from the Ewes and Krobos and who conferred the Okyenhene with the title of "Osagyefo"?

Ashamed to acknowledge his identity crisis, stemming from the fact of his forebears having transplanted themselves into the soils of Gomoa-Eshiem?

And to fathom that this whoring bas*a*d would have Nana Akufo-Addo answer questions that bas*a*d Masmadi has not even asked President John Evans Mills almost two years into Oguaa Kofi's tenure! Is this also part of his Akyem-Mafia bunk?

Needless to say, such a cowardly twat is definitely more dangerous to Ghana's secuity interests than any bases that President Obama may be intent on acquiring in the West African subregion!

And by the way, what has Mr. Masmadi to say about President Nkrumah's decision to serve as Africa station-master for the KGB, and his foreign policy agenda of destabilizing Olympio's Togo and President/Mzee Kamau's Kenya?" (See: Akufo Addo Must Come Out Clear On USAfricom NOW!, Columnist: Nana Akyea Mensah, ModernGhana.comFeature Article | Sun, 28 Feb 2010 http://www.modernghana.com/newsthread2/265877/50/108663#showcomments

The funny thing about all these responses is the extent to which Okoampa can go in order to tell a stupid lie! In one he mentions my name, in another, he dabbles in histrionics! In all these reactions, Okoampa is confused. The most ridiculous was the one in which he gives the impression that he had not even read the article he was commenting upon! He does not want to admit that he even had the time to read the article carefully, even though he did. It was a self-imposed "see no evil, hear no evil, and most especially say no evil, where Nana Akyea Mensah, The Odikro, is concerned!"

Okoampa knew he could not mount a challenge. He chickened out and decided not to respond after reading the article. To cover his shame and provide a decent and respectable alibi for his inability to respond, with "I will not dignify the ... drivel of this ... with either a reading or a rejoinder."! What gave his game away was the fact that for an individual who claims not to want to read the article in question he had rather extremely detailed knowledge of how he perceieved the article! He was apalled that the article was what he called "cut-and-paste drivel" I wonder how he identified those parts I deliberately copied from the website of the Danquah Institute, and pasted in the article to see which aspect they would base their comments on! He fell for the trap. My bet was that, if I gave them the bait to pass an irrelevant comment, they would swallow the hook and expose further their weaknesses, hence the deliberate "copy and paste" tactic, knowing fully well that the only people familiar with the material are more at the Danquah Institute than anywhere else. Okoampa is able to talk about this without having read the article!

Also, in the second paragraph the professor of English and Creative Writing provides such a powerful summary of the entire article with the greatest economy of words! He could not have achieved such a feat without reading the article! "It is murderous enough," Okoampa wrote in a reaction after insulting Sekou father as a murderer, "to have an arrant fool like this bumpkin assume the glorious name of my maternal granduncle and then proceed to criminally libel another great-granduncle from my father's side of the family."

For someone who did not read the article, Okoampa must possess some magical powers! Anyway, funny or not, he was about to say something and deceive himself that no one has seen his poor withered, and blasted arse! He must have thought that since he got away with it the last time, he could get away with it this time too.: "Wrong miscaculation!" Okoampa wants to deny the existence of the very article to which he has been forced to respond! Not only that, who does not know he was sacked by what he calls the "the Ejisu-Piranhas" that "ran [him] out of NPP-USA because [he] had dared to call Uncle Kofi Diawuo his real name". (See: Comment: Did I Impress Your wife?, Author: Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Date: 2010-08-12 23:48:31, Comment to: RE: “Kufuor continues to campaign for Atta-Mills, Feature Article of Friday, 13 August 2010, Columnist: Boahene, Peter Owusu).

I know he does not give a dem about the NPP! This is besides the point. I know we are dealing with "the Akyem Mafia" and not the NPP! I also know that your own personal litany against Ashantis begin long before anyone ever though of forming the NPP as far back as 1935 and even perhaps beyond! These are your words on the matter: "In 1932, when the real Asante-Mafia ran my maternal grandfather, Rev. T. H. Sintim out of the Adum section of Kumasi and off his job as the first native-Ghanaian headteacher, for being criminally culpable of Akyem descent and heritage, as Justice Sarpong put it rather mildly a few days ago, Nana Yawbe Sintim-Aboagye was "acting high and mighty," as the expression is the exclusive behavioral preserve of Akyemfo." See: Comment: Did I Impress Your wife?, Author: Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Date: 2010-08-12 23:48:31, Comment to: RE: “Kufuor continues to campaign for Atta-Mills, Feature Article of Friday, 13 August 2010, Columnist: Boahene, Peter Owusu). My grandson also asserts:

"Somebody ought to have apprised the critic about the fact of my not being a registered member of the NPP. Actually, I was fired some nine or ten months before Election 2008."

Don't be silly! What has that got to do with defending the erection of a man whose "prikus soribus" is widely known to be the "non coscientum" type? You write::

"First of all, I write primarily because I feel the personal need as a communicative human being to express myself on issues that I find to be of moment and cognitively edifying. Which is also to say that my literary objective is not dictated by the ready availability of a discursive forum. To be certain, I have been writing and publishing for nearly a quarter-century, almost for as long as I have been resident in the United States. I have also written for and edited such newspapers as The Campus, one of the most notable student newspapers in the American North East which is published at the City College of the City University of New York (CCNY of CUNY). And for those readers who may not be aware of the following fact, The Campus newspaper has produced a quite remarkable percentage of the staff of the world-class New York Times, among them the celebrated Rosenthals."

What kind of "a communicative human being" are you? The type who believes that communication is just talking or writing? A sort of one way traffic where your irreszponsible words go forth form your mouth or pen and never come back to haunt you? What you ought to have known at your level is the simple fact that communication is always a two-way traffic. You encode and you are decoded. You decode and encode for others to decode you. And on and on it goes. What I am doing is simply trying to decode you. You are a pathetic confidence trickster who may easily raise their voices to intimidate, just to deny a fart, knowing fully well that they are responsible for it!

You confuse the use of high-sounding words, or shiting in the same water closets of great writers as marks of litrary achievements and starture. The fact that you "have been writing and publishing for nearly a quarter-century, almost for as long as I have been resident in the United States," does not give you any right to write the sort of nonsense I regularly read from you! What have "the celebrated Rosenthals" got to do with your stupid defence of Kufour which has brought all this about? The fact that someone found the creche of Einstein does not mean we have discovered a creche of genuises! That is why dunces are free to go whereever they want and still remain dunces! The sweetness of the pudding is in the eating, and not in the long recitals of the experience of the cook. One would have thought, that, with all these bragging about your writing experience, you would, at least do so in a manner more honest, spontaneous and much more coherent and consistent than this poor show from a so-called university professor! You write:

"Then I have also had the privilege of both reporting, critiquing books and editing for the landmark New York Amsterdam News, arguably the most influential African-American newspaper in the United States and one of the oldest. And so what is all this nonsense about some high school prefect, or senior student, whose histrionic mannerisms I am supposed to mirror as an almost 50-year-old man?!"

This is where we see a clear dramatic monologue in your article. As you may know, a dramatic monologue is a peice in which the speaker assumes a situation and even reacts to it whilst speaking, even though we may not hear any voices other than the speaker. The assumed situation here is very clear. Okoampa has been teased by someone and it is working on him as he is obviously unhappy about it. His irrevelent reference to me as "some high school prefect" or "senior student, whose histrionic mannerisms I am supposed to mirror as an almost 50-year-old man?!", is very suggestive that he is refusing good counsel to write simple English like me. I doubt very much if that is the solution. I worry more about what you write than how you write, even though the two are related. You write more big words when you are talking nonsense. As though to intimidate people unsure of themselves that, at least, you are "learned" and know what you are saying to be correct! You are nowhere near an intellectual, and most of the claims you make are entirely bogus and baseless! You write:

"Anyway, I wrote and published my Gizelle Yajzi article primarily because I was convinced that the glorified Arab slut had embarrassingly succeeded in making arrant fools of a remarkable percentage of Ghanaian journalists, particularly those recklessly blind partisans of the ruling so-called National Democratic Congress (NDC). And, by the way, there absolutely is nothing “democratic” about a rambunctious bunch of hoodlums in “congress” with an impudent whoremonger!"

I thought you just gave as a second reason for your unwillingness to mention my name as "because I have never felt the need to justify the motive, or the lack thereof, for that matter, behind every article that I write and publish on Ghanaweb..."? Who inserted this pepper in your anus? It seems to be quite hot! This is the first time you go straight to the point, even if the argument is mute. You don't sound smart at all, what is wrong with you? If really this were all that motivated you to write that stupid article, why concentrate irrelevant issues such as the spelling of her name in the media, and "she does not appear to be even passably intelligent"? Who told you Kofi Diawuo is attracted to only intelligent women? It was even obvious from the way you were defending the man that you do not like him very much, so why force yourself? I shall not labour the point here. From your latest article under reference, it is clear that "Prikus Kufuorus Non Conscientum Habet!" has been absolutely effective in exposing your bogus and ridiculous arguments. I rest my case on this scandal. If you bring it up again, you shall regret it bitterly! You write:

"It may very well be accurate to conclude, knowing what I personally know about my fellow countrymen and women, that, indeed, when it comes down to political expediency, Ghanaians are a genius trickster lot. But then, when one of the most powerful actors in recent Ghanaian political theater dares a potential “internal detractor” to a contest of truth and honesty, you can bet your bottom dollar that only a Kamikaze pilot would be apt to take the bait. The fact of the matter is that when such party stalwarts and Kufuor bona fides as Mr. Hackman Owusu-Agyeman growl “Foul, Kofi 'Dee'!” you can almost be certain of some raging mischief. In brief, it is not that “Manhyia Kofi” had absolutely no right to pick a favorite candidate for his former seat, it is just that having publicly given his assurance of neutrality, the least perception of bias effectively undermined the entire undertaking."

In your last paragraph is it very apparent that you are rather the one who feels defensive about your remarks on Kufuor. It is not Kufuor who feels the need to be defensive. This is what my rejoinder, "Prikus Kufuorus Non Conscientum Habet!" has reduced you to! 'No Need For Pres. Kufuor To Be Defensive' indeed!

I am not through with you yet! For calling me a "school prefect, I shall give you a taste of my "aluta talents", I leave you with a song. Enjoy your day:

Tittle: A MUSICAL NOTE TO AN AKYEM NPP ELEPHANT POACHER: Dedicated:to: Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr, Ph. D.. Tune: "What A Friend We have In Jesus!" Author: Nana Akyea Mensah, The Odikro.

If you know the tune of "What A Friend We have In Jesus!", you may sing along with me! A song by Nana Akyea Mensah, The Odikro begins:

"A MUSICAL NOTE TO AN AKYEM NPP ELEPHANT POACHER

"The end is near Kwame Ahoofe!
You've been finally smoked out
of your New York Ivory Towers,
and the gown now comes to town!

This is a journey of no return!
This is the final showdown!
I shall expose you as a charlatan!
Whether you like it or not!

Chorus:
Where will the Akyem Mafia go to hide?
When the true elephants come,
in search of their stolen ivories,
Where are you going to hide?

Prikus Kufuorus non conscietum habet!
Ye nim no firi tete!
Do not try throw dust into our eyes!
You're the one on defensive!

"I'm not a member of the NPP!"
So says Kwame Okoampa,
"I belong to the Akyem Mafia!
Please, do not confuse the two!"

Chorus:
Where will the Akyem Mafia go to hide?
When the true elephants come,
in search of their stolen ivories,
Where are you going to hide?

"Akyem Mafia" as a family business,
Shares nothing with the NPP,
We are the masters and the bosses,
All the rest are just our slaves!

We shall see who is going vote for you
And your funny Akyem dwarf,
If you think that we are so stupid,
Then you got to think again!

Chorus:
Where will the Akyem Mafia go to hide?
When the true elephants come,
in search of their stolen ivories,
Where are you going to hide?

Amen!"

Forward Ever! Backwards Never!!!

Cheers!
