Fake Anass supplants visually Impaired

Fake Anass supplants visually Impaired
21.12.2014 LISTEN

I am saddened to write this article which has caught me judging between whether to let an already embattled gentleman go because everyone could do wrong or give him away. However I feel stabbed in the back robbed and called a thief for the numerous articles I burnt the night's oil writing. Too much tempering of justice with mercy and allowing thieves to go in the name of Jesus can be very costly I suppose.

Visually impaired? I am and suffering from low vision. I work with a media organization Ultimate fm. Diligence, sacrifice and hard work is my hallmark. I don't ever accept myself using my vision impairment as an excuse. I will use all my scanty monthly allowance to pay for dropping both morning and evening to go to work and back if it calls for it.

Fake Anass after he dropped down to Kumasi with all stories of denial of the allegations leveled against him somehow as he has always done, got a certain contract to still work with the ultimate radio for which he hither to, corresponded for from Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region. Well if you don't know this guy, Google “Fake Annass arrested + Ghana”.

Now he was to work from the Kumasi office as a roving reporter in the Ashanti Region. Riding a red car and reportedly always blowing cash in near by night clubs was something I always heard being discussed by colleagues. Only to hear later that he had duped another lady and bought her a cheap and substandard car after collecting money from her for a luxurious car he had promised coming to Kumasi to buy for her. This I later found out was the exact red car he had been driving around as his own and the proceeds of which he was using to blow time. As if he worked by intelligence, anytime the young woman came in with personnel from the rapid deployment force from the Ashanti Region Police Command, he was out and about no where near office.

Hard to put this through though. One recording he made from the visit of a prominent personality to Kumasi nearly brought the whole country down into ethnic and tribal confusion. It pans out that this tape seems to have been tampered with by whom? Read in between the lines. This broke the ranks and sent one of the finest editors who had just returned from prayers on the Atwia Mountains that Monday, packing after some weeks of grilling and interrogations. I will put my neck on the line for everybody in my newsroom except for him concerning that matter. A recent happening through which Joseph demonstrated his `pathological lying abilities both threw me into shock and reminiscence at what had happened some months back. It hurts me even now because an innocent soul from whom I was learning so much had to leave under such inconclusive conditions which was later milked by some other disgruntled members of staff, to knock his own exit. God bless him wherever he is.

Now to the very issue I have had with Joseph Osei now called Joseph Oppong Brenya. I am usually a solitary person with a very analytical mind drawing inspiration from my course of study, from life happenings and from the word of God. I haven't won any accolade as a prolific writer but my temperament makes me sometimes write several poems, articles and papers on almost everything my busy mind attracts. I don't use brail. I use a screen reader soft ware and magnifier software. My screen reader reads everything I do or need on my computer screen to me. I can do every research I want to do and type whatever story without a single computer screen. I just need to hear my JAWS or NVDA software speaking. It is such a skill learnt that I don't even have need for a mouse because I will not even know where the mouse is pointed. Computer keyboard shortcuts should as a matter of necessity be on my finger tips. This even informs my decision to seek solace in the media industry after finishing Banking and Finance in the university with first class honors. At least I don't have to be struggling to figure out amounts in numbers or hand writings which I don't even remember the last time I saw one.

One fateful day, I happened to show this colleague an article that I had written with the title, “Pornography to Watch or Not to Watch.” It was a true life story that happened when I collected a flash drive from somewhere to copy an audio bible folder for my auntie Irene Heathcote who had come to visit. I realized that pen drive I took from another person had some very weird file names depicting they were pornographic files. This became my motivation to tell how I ……… . Just to keep you in suspense, please Google it up and read for yourself but before that….. Joseph Osei told me he liked that article very much and that if I had any other works I could forward them to him so he could publish them through his wide array of media and online contacts.

In my innocence, I forwarded them to him. Just recently however, I unfortunately crushed my laptop and lost everything I had on it. I attempted to search the internet because I remember sending especially my paper on microfinance to vibeghana.com. I typed in the name “MODERN EVOLUTION OF MICROFINANCE IN GHANA; THE PERVERTED ANGEL.” To my utmost surprise only the one I had on vibeghana.com had me quoted as an author. All the other sites had Joseph Osei as the author for the subject he had not spent a minute in lecture studying. And please I am not making this up. I have a whole thesis on risk management and its challenges among microfinance companies in Kumasi aside an 'A' in microfinance as a course in the university.

This made me try to recollect and do a web search of all titles of the articles I might have forwarded to Joseph to publish for me. I checked the pornography story, (pornography to watch or not to watch). As diabolic as he could be, even where I had my name “Ivan” in the story, he put Joseph there. Anyway he forgot to replace the last one where I referred to myself as Coach Ivan. Well if you see that story and can copy it onto a word document, just press control + f and type Ivan into the field and press enter. After that, press escape and you will find “Ivan” highlighted in the document. Do same for “Joseph” and you will find where his name is. I also realize there was a part I spoke about how I use my screen reader to help me delete files. Because this would have made him look as if he was a blind guy writing the story, he deleted that paragraph to cover his tracks making the understanding of the paragraph where I talk about the computer mouse getting missing from me, very confusing.

I further searched for another poem I wrote titled “A Hearts Cry for a Thief in the Hands of an Angry Mob.” Low and behold, it was authored Joseph Osei. I composed this poem one afternoon immediately on arrival to the newsroom after church. I usually board a church bus which passes in front of Ultimate Fm to Santase. I heard a crowd as we were coming from church and people in the bus begun describing how a thief was being paraded along the road for stealing and how badly he had been beaten. Please Google the poem and read it for yourself. Joseph had made this one too his own and was receiving fans for it.

I also chanced on another write up I had shown him titled “MAMA AFRICA CALLS; WHERE ARE THEY.” This was a work in progress. It was to be a poem but I realized I was typing with too much motivation and gusto. I had not broking them down into a poem format yet when I showed it to him. I saw that story in its raw state posted on his blog oseiviews and other sites as his own works.

Still on my expedition, I landed into his blog and also realized that some of the compelling website stories that my editor had tasked me to do were in his name. One of it which he recently commended was actually sourced to him. Instead of “Ultimate Radio's investigations,” it read “Oseiviews investigation.” At one point in time this man always bothered me to give him all the website stories I had done for the day and would even pile pressure on me to do website stories at a time we were understaffed and working for on-air stories. This got me a bit suspicious but I brushed my suspicions off just to let sleeping dogs lie. It now makes sense to me.

What baffles me most is that I used to help this guy financially when he had spent his fortunes and was always complaining that the police had frozen his bank accounts and that he didn't have any money on him for transport and food. I would either pass it through someone Nichodemously just to help him out. Sometimes I handed this money to him personally and prayed that God helped him out of his troubles and give him a fresh start. How could he be that callous? I checked from some of the old files on the office computers and realized he did all that sitting in opposite direction from me. He is that kind of guy you should fear behind the PC for hours and suddenly hear jump up in jubilation for God knows what. I wonder how many people he has caught in his web of unending mischief.

Recording conversations from factions within political parties and leaking them to the other divides just to gain more grounding and goodwill from the two sides he is playing so intelligently. I won't go there. Please be ware of persons like this you meet. I don't know how to clear this. Whether to go for a court action or just to let it go? I don't think I should be surprised if he sees this article and then authors it in his name just to indict himself for glory.

Oh! And if he should send you a mail, check his credentials:
