Jealousy has split up a once united Kumawu family

Jealousy has split up a once united Kumawu family

Taking jealousy to the extreme is very harmful and can easily destroy a close-knit family or a community. Out of jealousy that risks the wish of death and destruction upon a certain individual within a once airtight family in Kumawu, the family has been torn asunder.

The eldest woman within that extended but rather very close family at Kumawu Zongo, and her children have teamed up against her younger sister and her children in what is conspicuously an exhibition of sheer jealousy and malignity.

I have never in my entire life witnessed such an extreme display of jealousy that borders on malevolence, if not the wish of complete death, upon a particular member of the family.

Mr A, an always-has-been humble, serious, visionary and a hardworking individual, started off as a secondary school tutor in Ashanti region as soon as he completed his university degree education at Legon. While teaching, he bought farmlands, cultivated cocoa farm, and put up a house in Effiduase.

As brilliant and industrious as he is, he was encouraged by his friends and the woman he was named after, who resides in Canada, to travel abroad to pursue further education.

Within six to seven years of arriving in the United Kingdom, he did not only acquire his master’s but doctorate degree at one of the UK universities. He is now a lecturer at the same university. More grease to his elbows.

Mr B, cloaked in a suit of jealousy, outwardly a lamb but inwardly a wolf, claims to have led Mr A to secure a loan to facilitate his travel abroad. This same individual is now very supportive of his mum’s malicious allegation against Mr A. His mum has been telling as many people in Kumawu as she comes by that Mr A’s grandmother stole their deceased dad’s gold to give to Mr A to travel to the United Kingdom.

For stealing the gold, the alleged thief has been struck with blindness, she and her children continuously merrily announce to their hearers.

I will entreat the public to debunk their allegation and treat it with the contempt it deserves. It is the figment of their warped imagination.

Yes, the grandmother of Mr A is blind, however, it is not down to any fact of stealing gold but unfortunately suffering from glaucoma, the very disease that caused the grandmother of Mr B to loss her vision many years before her death. It may be a genetic disease within the family, who knows?

Additionally, the mother of Mr B is going about saying her son was requested to handle the transfers of money from abroad meant for the renovation of a house the owner willed to a selected few of his children, but her son refused. The son’s refusal is solely because he cannot handle the proceeds from a stolen gold. Utter nonsense!

No gold has been stolen. Again, it is not Mr A that is renovating the house. It is rather the late father’s children and grandchildren living abroad and one or two living in Ghana.

Those uncivilized perpetrators and perpetuators of falsehoods on intent to tarnish the reputation of Mr A had better stop as they will be exposed on each turn of their journey to destroy the reputation of Mr A.

Arrangements will be made at the appropriate time to get the community radio at Kumawu zongo to air the story. Airtime will be bought for that purpose. The truth needs to be told.

It has been conveyed to my attention the stupid lies the irresponsible blockhead, the self-styled “on-paper professional” journalist has been posting on Facebook. I am pulling up my sleeves to face that bunch of predator hyenas that feed on weak preys. They will surely meet their match and get their comeuppance.

If by me publishing the true facts about what is going on in the family will elicit journalistic response from the until now dormant self-asserted professional journalist, then I am happy for him.

It is only a fool that refuses to understand that it takes some help from someone to push another to reach their helm of glory.

It is only a fool that will gladly prefer to wallow and get mired in a sticky mud rather than accepting a push of extrication from others. Do away with that self-harm mentality of “me deɛ me pɛ mmabrabɔ saa”.

Ask your mum to cease her nocturnal pouring of libation in front of other’s doors on intent to invoke curses and afflictions on them. The more she does that, the more her own children suffer the impact of her ill-intent.

Get some life, ye miserable git!
