Letter To Mr. President....

THE PRESIDENT,

FLAGSTAFF HOUSE,

ACCRA.

Dear Sir,

HERALDIC CASTLE AND SEA VIS-A-VIS FLAGSTAFF HOUSE ON THE COAT OF ARMS

I write from my humble, quite village of my village thought to put a question to your thinking cup perhaps if that might have escaped your knowing.

Several years after Independence in 1957 and a Republican status in 1960, the Coat of Arms have emerged as the highest national emblem of our motherland. It has shot itself from been just a symbol to that of a unifying epistle. On the head of your letters, he can be seen smiling broadly thus indicating his highest form of importance.

On the right hand top corner of the Coat of Arms is found the heraldic castle on the heraldic sea. Truly, I don't know much about what it means but the little I know concerning this is that it represents the 'National Government'.

To me a village dweller with my calabash still serving as my drinking cup in this 21st Century, I think it simplest form of interpretation is that, it means the 'Seat of Government'.

Indeed the truth is, the heraldic castle to any commoner is the Christianborg Castle or put it the Osu Castle.

Sir, as we all know, not quite long in years that the 'National Government' symbolising a castle was changed into the 'Flagstaff House'. The question I wish to ask you Mr. President who by virtue of your position serves as the face of our beloved motherland to the outside community is , how well do we as citizens relate your office of 'Flagstaff House' to that of the Coat of Arms?

Sir, in my little village's microscopic view, isn't it high time as we look at the dynamism of the world in relation to our constitution and it review, do same to our national symbols especially the Coat of Arms? It is the hope of this village I sit pensive under the cocoa tree am leaning against that you, and your eminent body of government would take some time off your busy schedules to ponder over this.

Yours faithfully,

Signed

The Village Thinker....
