Hon. Martin Amidu's lazy-lawyers'-jibe, at the Presidency, ought to be taken seriously, oooo, Ghanafuo. Every disastrous flip-flop-decision, taken by the present government, since January 7th, 2017, can be traced directly to it. As can most exposed regime-insider-scandals. Mother Ghana deserves better.

It sums up perfectly, the Presidency's rampant and lethal, arrogant-preening-narcissistic-peacock-syndrome (which, as Lady Luck would have it, President Akufo-Addo is immune to, personally, thank goodness).

It is causing Ghana's farsighted, and incorruptible leader, President Akufo-Addo's impressive legacy, thus far, endless harm. For the sake of our nation, the Presidency needs to be disinfected, thoroughly, to rid it of the miasma of this insidious nation-wrecking-airborne-poison. Fast. Yoooooo...

Above all, those now-powerful-and-invincible individuals, in the current administration, who seem to think that Ghana is a conquered vassal-state (beholden to those in power today), which is full of subservient-serfs, with the mentality of idiots, must quickly revise their playbook's notes. Yooooooo...

On the contrary, Ghanaians are a very wise, and noble, African people, with the patience needed to outwit those who seek to harm them. No politician must take Ghanaians for granted, ooooo. Yoooooo...

That is why President Akufo-Addo must not allow bauxite mining to be carried out in the Atewa Forest Reserve. It is an abomination that future generations will curse his regime, and condemn it, roundly, for. Yooooooo...

Destroying a Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA), which is also a watershed for three major river systems (the Birim, Ayensu and Densu rivers), sourced for water to treat, and, distribute, to over 5 million people across southern Ghana, is a crime against humanity. Nothing more, nothing less. Full stop.

That is why a farsighted and courageous leader, like President Akufo-Addo, must rather ignore all his advisors in this particular matter - and go ahead to declare the Atewa Forest Reserve, a national park: and ban all mining, from what is pricelees natural capital, which can serve as a solid green economic pillar, to underpin a lucrative ecotourism destination, which will generate wealth that remains locally, and create jobs galore, for Akyem Abuakwa' younger generations. Okyeman, yen, enma ensei da, oooo. Yoooooo...

The time has now come for President Akufo-Addo to declare the Atewa Forest Reserve a national park - and ban all mining and logging from It. Full stop. Hmmm, Oman Ghana - enti yeweiye paaa enei? ....Asem kesie bi, ebeba debi ankasa oooo. Yoooooo...
