Someone asked me a question of what I thought about “what happened to Francis”.

Francis meaning the former Minister of National Security...

Well, I scratched my head and answered this way: Didn't Truman sack Douglas MacArthur? Didn't the CIA Director resign not too long ago?

I left it there hoping he wouldn't press me for explanations because he would be expecting me to say all the wrong things!.

He didn't. But as the days wore on after the departure of Mr. Francis Poku, the events started moving so fast and far that they assumed the proportions of a one act farce, from all angles. Over the weekend, I had time to mull over things and came to one conclusion: a media feeding frenzy which ended up confusing the public in the process.

But yesterday, as Ghana took on Guinea in the first match of Ghana 2008 and won, the outpouring of national euphoria also told me one thing: Ghanaians will rally to the flag when the occasion demands. Whatever happens after yesterday's match, the Ridge Debriefing would become just a footnote which only spoilsports would dredge up in the future...
