A Modest Proposal: Create! Loot! Share!

A Modest Proposal: Create! Loot! Share!
05.12.2013 LISTEN

I am of the modest opinion that to Create, Loot and eventually Share is not as bad as people may want us to believe. The good pages of History has golden paragraphs for some "Heroes" who created and looted and shared! What makes heroes and otherwise of the creators of the loot is the status of the people they do the sharing with. History remembers Robinhood, the Bandit and Ned Kelly.


In Nigeria, the International media watched with dumbfounded awe and wondered in amazement, as to why "a whole nation" will be mourning the capture and killing of Lawrence Anini and Monday Osunbor, two hardened armed robbers who supposedly terrorized the very people mourning them. So what is my modest proposal? Create, Loot and share, but create, loot and share with the right people, the masses! Well-researched papers in my possession(Opare & Amina 1996) point to the conclusion that 91.34% of Ghanaians will immortalize any such looter.

Only a paltry 6.7% will not be happy with the sharing, with the remaining being indifferent to the show, and voting on the issue, the creator of the loot will be vindicated. So if perchance, you have a loot you strategically created, kindly share far and wide, share to every hut and village... Share.. Announce it on tv and radio; let the people know and solve problems...and keep the rest. ... Sir/madam, with that you give true meaning to the word 'share' in the phrase "create, loot and share". ON THE FACE OF THE EMPIRICAL FACTS AND DATA I HAVE GATHERED ON THE MATTER ABOVE, I PROPOSE, ALBEIT IN MoJESTy, THAT ALL GHANAIANS IN POSITION OF TRUST SHOULD MASSIVELY CREATE, LOOT AND APPROPRIATELY SHARE. This is an extract from my book, #CreateLootShare(2001todate) --- God bless Ghana!

Dear reader, before you get so worked up about my opinion, Google the title of this piece.
