Professor Feynman: An example of how power eventually corrupts even the most upright, anaaaa?
Anansekromfuo, perhaps the good Professor Feynman too has visited the Ghana of today, and has had his rude Gold-Coast-African-Awakening moment here: of the manifestation of rule-by-clever-idiots - whereby a resource-rich but struggling emerging nation, is dominated by powerful big-thieves-in-high-places, who grow super-rich through oligarchic-state-capture wheeler-dealing, guaranteed to send elite-net-worth, to stratospheric heights, anaaaa?
Hmmm, Oman Ghana - enti y3wieye paaaa enei? Today, the highest government official in the land (who once upon a time, informed the world that those appointed to positions in his new regime, with a morbid interest in amassing wealth through public office insider-dealing, should go to the private sector instead, if they are wise), now says he has no friends, but has super-wealthy private sector business partners? Wow.
Sadly, in an example of how power eventually corrupts even the most upright who win power, this famed-apparently-personally-incorruptible-gentleman, now freely admits publicly, to partnering Ghana's foremost too-big-to-saction regime-crony-tycoon, whose tentacles covers a huge chunk of our national economy? Eiiiiii, ey3asem, ooooo. Hmmm, Oman Ghana: asem kesie, bi, ebeba debi ankasa, oooo. Yooooooo...
