Father Joop Visser: Your Accra-Bolgatanga Dream Can Manifest

Dear Father Joop, your dream of a train from Accra to Bolgatanga could become reality quicker than you think.

If our hard-of-hearing and criticism-averse ruling elites would for once be selfless and put the well-being of ordinary people at the heart of their thinking, they could ask Elon Musk to build a network of underground railway lines for bullet trains connecting all the regional capitals to Accra.

Instead of using human labour, he should use a workforce of humanoid robots working round the clock to complete the project before the end of President Mahama's tenure.

The beauty of that public-private partnership is that there won't be any distribution of fat brown envelopes full of the petrodollars that will fund the project to corrupt individuals across Ghanaian officialdom — which Musk knows can be quickly scaled up globally to transform his tunnelling company into a biospheric behemoth, bedrocked by a commitment to ethics and a worldwide North Star guidance ethos of good faith fair dealing.

That, dear comrade, is how your dream of a comfortable trip to Bolgatanga and back to Accra by train will manifest. Simple, really. Just a matter of first principles cognition. Dig? Cool.
