As wise and aspirational African African people, we must unite to find creative solutions, to all the (temporary) nation-building challenges now confronting us.

To be able to successfully overcome our hydra-headed nation-building challenges, we ought to understand, clearly, that we must continue to remain a free people, living in a democracy, in which the best ideas always come to the fore, in open debate, to move our country forward, and power our prosperity.

It is in that light that we must ensure that our ruling elites get it, that whatever yields common-good benefits, to Ghanaian society, at any given point in time), not party advantage, bedrocks our entire system, and guides policy making - in a Ghana in which the rule of law prevails.

That is why we cannot, and must not, allow those who are contemptuous of the rule of law, to continue acting with impunity - as if this marvellous and resource-rich, blessed nation of ours, is a banana republic, which exists solely for the benefit of a wealthy and power-mad few: determined to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights, at the expense of ordinary people.

Elite greed must end. It must be halted now, because it will lead to disastrous ruination for all of us, as sure as day follows night, if we don't end it - and must therefore be resisted at all costs. Nkrumah's Ghana is not a banana republic - and will not be allowed to end up as one. Full stop. Case closed. Yoooooooo...
