Where Was Manasseh During IMANI Forum?

Where Was Manasseh During IMANI Forum?
22.03.2018 LISTEN

“As an investigative journalist whose work on GYEEDA resulted in the passage of a law, the cancellation of fraudulent contracts, the retrieval of over 60 million cedis and the jailing of two of the perpetrators, I ought to be happy with Friday’s news. But I was not. I am not. And can never be until the real justice is done in the GYEEDA matter. The state will retrieve at least GHS 500,000,000 (FIVE HUNDRED MILLION

GHANA CEDIS) if a serious audit is done. Fortunately, the moneys are still being paid while some are in arrears”…Manasseh Azure Awune

Can I say you stink? Infact Manasseh you stink. Hhhmmm…. You stink Manasseh, you stink in the mouth, you stink in the brain, you stink in your thought analysis, and you stink in your intellect. Read on, I will show you why soon.

I will not purport to admire your level of progress in your journalism career. My reason is simple, you are nothing to write home about. We know you, we know where you are coming from, and we can appropriately describe your mal, ill and vindictive nature from our days in the north and from our Intel from those who were very close to you in school.

As a matter of fact you do not merit the attention and reading time of any well-read / or discerning Ghanaian, knowing the kind of person you are. Those of us who know you very well do not book you. What some of us do is in fact to massage your pomposity, inferiority complex, recalcitrance and foolish ego.

But unfortunately there are some sycophants, stooges and surrogates who make you feel that your pepperdem-like behavior in a typical African setting will fly, my brother, mute your beak! It will not fly. It will decay in your mouth, and your brain and of course the result will by my introduction in this piece…stinking….haha. Siaaaaaa..lol

‘ I was sitting my somewhere’, a very loooooong time since I put pen on paper like this, but your premature ejaculation and 2-minute style of thinking but trying to make everyone believe you are ‘sensible’ is what has actually warranted my egoistic ego and penchant to write again today. You are not that sensible my brother, You are a two minute man. I know a lot of people may have tried to put it to you point blank, but as typical of you, they don’t because you will ‘blank point’ their reasonable points back to them.

After all you don’t report to them and they don’t include your pay masters: that politician with a certain agenda ….oh you have opened your mouth….. (gbele your mouth) or you think we don’t know your pay masters. Oh you joke I will mention his name and your meeting points. We know the people who refused you money after begging and kneeling down to give you small ‘kwacha’. We have all that info. Those you have sworn to chase with their businesses into the graveyard.

Ah Manaseh paa, up your game. For how long will you fight a lost battle? Charlie you be married man oo (cough..Cough, this is in a senior journalists tone, twisting my tongue). Ouch!

You see, because of your mediocrity which has been ignored, I am even forgetting to tackle the substantive issue. As for me I will at this point not ignore again: I will not pamper that foolish mediocrity too. Sia.

Now the substantive issue: let me state my subjectivity in this matter for the purposes of our very intelligent and well-meaning Ghanaian who may sight this piece and go further to read. I had my third and fourth year fees being paid magnanimously by a wealthy business man whom I had heard a lot of negative things about. I decided to investigate him without his knowledge and my detailed findings changed my perceptions about life forever…never to prejudice, never to try anybody without getting close..obviously the pasture looks different from the other side.

I later realized from my lots of readings that this is just a simple matter of NATURAL JUSTICE.

However being an ardent follower of politics, social, economic issues and current affairs of this our dear nation, I have with a passive stature observed too much hatred and vindictiveness and abuse of the little power people hold in the system.

But now I intend to be proactive because it’s gotten up to my neck. People are bullies because of the power or the platforms they have and that’s the exact nature of Manasseh Azure Awune.

In my dictionary, corruption is defined as mass murder and so anyone who meddles in corruption particularly anyone whose activities dupes the state is a mass murderer. It is extremely important therefore to support any procedure that will bring to book people who are corrupt especially those who do that with massively designed impunity.

However as a member of the inky fraternity, I will NOT support any nefarious person who is not morally right to kill people’s dreams and businesses just in the name of fighting corruption without any basis and credible businesses. Unfortunately this is the exact line my queer-knowledged brother Manasseh Azure has decided to tow: to run people and their business down WITHOUT PREMISE.

LET ME PUT IT ALSO ON RECORD THAT I WILL NOT WRITE TO DEFEND ANY BUSINESS, BECAUSE NON OF THEM IS MY ‘FATHER’ OR ‘MOTHER’, maybe they are Manasseh’s rejected family members.

Back to point: Manasseh who is not an investigative journalist (of course we all know who what constitutes investigative journalism: a good example is senior Anas Aremeyaw Anas of international repute) has gone round with his 2-minute style of ejculative analysis of already existing stories and touting himself as an investigative journalist.

It is good some of your reports have yielded results, but are they investigative??? You classify it as that because it has gotten results?? My brother dey gee oo. Go to TV3, every reporter has done a story yielding positive results. Do you monitor results to stories by Seth Kwame Boateng of your own radio station (let me keep quiet because the intel says you don’t like Kwame who is winning awards over you), Do you listen to your competitors on Citi FM, 3News, Class FM, etc. they don’t tout themselves as investigative journalists, my brother stop blowing your own horns…mumu. IT IS YOUR PAY MASTERS WHO CALL YOU FOR INFORMATION TO LEAK BECAUSE OF THEIR PAROCHIAL AGENDA. We know you get paid for that. Stop posing as an investigative journalist bro, you are not one.

READING BITS AND PIECES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL’S REPORT AND REPORTING ON THAT IS NOT INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM BRO.

The results of your reports do not give you the impetus to attack somebody’s brand built over long years in sweat. You have made yourself a facebook kingpin and a social media guru and you are using that opportunity to run people down. SIA, HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED EVEN A HEN COUP BEFORE. Open your eyes before you speak or write. You are supposed to be an intellectual.

MY CASE STUDY
I saw a piece titled ‘JAILING ONLY ABUGA PELE AND ASSIBIT IS UNJUST’. The title got me to read because I thought everyone was happy for corrupt officials to be jailed. It seemed to be making meaning until I started seeing trash, personal sentiments, insults and unjust judgments. The use of madmen, psychiatric hospitals, calling for innocent people to be jailed and all

Another important issue that caught my attention was the call for Joseph Siaw Adjapong, the MD or CEO or whatever he is to be jailed. I laughed and immediately asked myself, Ah Manasseh too why, the man ‘chop’ your girl or something, or you go beg for money wey he no give you. As for chopping your girl de3, I doubt because I understand the man is a staunch member of member of the Church of Pentecost, but as for refusing you money, that could be tenable.

Whichever way it is, it is only an act of mediocrity and pettiness that will lead you to chase the man like a beautiful sexually explicit girl who is leading you on but refusing you sex for over two year….chai my brother if you don’t relax the only results will be continuous premature ejaculation and blue balls. The bad guys know what I mean, I am not one though….kwakwakwakwa..

I have read the GYEEDA report intoto as a journalist and I have read the presidents white paper too. But for the purposes of emphasis I went back to read page 131 of the GYEEDA report and there Zoomlion Company (you choose to refer to the Joseph Siaw Agyepong: as GIJ product, simple media law should tell you that the company is different from the man, LEARN my brother!) is not indicted in any form.

The White paper did NOT mention the company at all. I wonder where you draw your conclusions from…maybe space or the clouds. Lol, as I heard on radio you don’t like the government’s white paper, you want a black paper, blue, green, or brown?? Massa commot for ther.

I saw an intelligent facebook comment on your post, “you are attacking JOSPONG consistently but why are you exonerating former president John MAhama who appointed all the people in the so called ‘stinking deals’ you cry over?”. You chose not to reply. Why? Is it because the former presido granted you photo opportunities for your public gallery. Manasseh photooo, I love you bro.

But on a more serious not you have been attacking this man on the basis of fraud and corruption since 2013 without diligence, if you hold proper evidence, go to court eh, Manasseh, go to court. That’s the only way to subvert government’s white paper and be able to honestly call the man a thief if he is convicted.

You have become a facebook/ social media judge and kingpin, setting agenda to destroy the man’s business and on top of it denigrating his hard won reputation. You get your cronies and other people to unduly insult the man. What do you get from that? And what moral right have you got to attack him like that. He may not have had the money you needed at the time, but I here he is a very open and affable man, why not go to him again (but please don’t make any unrealistic demand thinking he is rich and has the capacity to pay, I am sure the money is for the business). If he has taken your girl too why not put it to him and let sleeping dogs lie.

Other people in your report who were found culpable like Agambire, Assibit etc have had course to either be written to, paid some amounts on their own and even lost cases in court. I am detailed that none of these has come to Zoomlion and even the man you seek to destroy. So in effect WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION Manasseh, what do you want to gain? Why not go to court if you have a case?

But Jospong too, I shock give you oo, why are you not pointing it out to Manasseh that he is denigrating the reputation of your company?? Ah well that your own ‘beef’.

IMANI FORUM
Ahaa, Manasseh before I forget let me ask ooo, why did you run away from the IMANI forum after verifying for yourself that your allegations against the man you so vilify are really baseless? You are not a man koraa. I was watching you on facebook. I thought after knowing the truth, you will eat the humble pie and apologize but you chose to run away. Oh Manasseh!!! You do not even admire the man for the massive reinvestments in the economy has done with his profits as a local investor. Yooooo.

Yes it is important we take our monies back, but should that be from the wrong people? Do we target wrongly, think well oo Manasseh. Your financiers will not eat salt forever, God dey! I know you believe in God so behave according to the tenets of the Bible.

My ink is finished, I am going to buy another Bic pen. That one will last longer than your 2minute ejaculation. Tell your sponsors (high powered officials) to stop putting fire in you. Bye Bye (in my hometown’s tone)

###DON’T LOOK FOR ME AND BLOCK ME OOO####
