Touch not Yeboah Agyekum Francis, the biomedical scientist and self-taught trichologist
Why can’t Ghanaians be farsighted enough to appreciate and encourage the once a while geniuses God bestows on the nation?
How do we expect to progress as a country and a people if we don’t aspire to be innovative, creative and productive let alone encourage the few geniuses among us to do more?
God bestowed on Ghana one genius in the person of the late Dr Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo. However, the level of attention and encouragement ought to have been given to him by the successive governments and individuals was not forthcoming. It was far below the average, very discouraging, if not dismal, or denied him, I will say.
If Ghanaians had shown greater interest in his works and invested in them, he could have placed Ghana on a higher level regarding our aspirations to develop economically and be inventive.
We sabotaged him but indirectly. Both the governments and individuals did not show appreciable interest in his cars. We did not patronise his products to give him the boost to do more for the country.
God loves Ghana so much that He has given us another genius in the person of one Yeboah Agyekum Francis, a biomedical scientist, and a self-taught trichologist. This young man has been taking interested Ghanaians through how we can overcome or avoid certain ailments that are constantly troubling us. He has graphically been explaining them to us such that even the uneducated Ghanaian will understand what he intends carrying across to us and how to apply them to alleviate, or avoid contracting, certain illnesses or diseases.
All that we hear of late, whether true or false, is how some Ghanaians have been insulting him and possibly scheming to harm him. If this is true, why can’t Ghanaians appreciatively accommodate the few geniuses God by his grace bestows on the nation but seek to undermine or sabotage them?
Are we so evil-minded that although we aspire to attain economic emancipation, we are not prepared for the acceptance of geniuses into our midst?
Fellow Ghanaians, please let us spare Francis our evil-mindedness and that Ghanaian chronic behavioural attitude of “pull him down”.
We need geniuses to bring about the industrial and economic development that the nation craves for.
The writer loves watching and listening to his health-educating videos posted on social media. He is brilliant and admirable.
Let us encourage him to do more for he is too good.
Francis, you have a strong dedicated supporter from Kumawu/Asiampa so fear no foe.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn”, so says Isaiah 54:17.
To any Ghanaian wishing Francis’ downfall or seeking to harm him, bear in mind that God says in Psalm 105:15 - “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm”.
As it was once the NPP's slogan, "Four more for Nana to do more", so shall it be more protection and encouragement for Yeboah Agyekum Francis to do more.
More grease to your elbows, Mr Yeboah Agyekum Francis. I will write in support of your good work to encourage you to do more.
