Wherever you may find yourself now, let's just have a quick reflection of something.
Just imagine the current crises happening under another regime.
Just imagine the occultic erratic power supply (Dumsor), excessively high new tax rates, several fuel increments, injustices at the law courts, suppression of freedom of the media, institutionalised corruption and a host of many other issues.
Just imagine a country whose current state is so uninspiring to the extent that we spend 49.50% of state revenue on payments of interest on loans which is far higher than the 41.84% of revenue paid as either compensation or salary to employees.
Just imagine what would have been the spinning techniques of the media who have been direct victims of such sociopolitical incongruities, the sermons of some renowned "Men of God" (clergy), the prayer topics of Agloo International, the propaganda of other political parties and even the incessant attacks from the ordinary Ghanaian.
Just imagine the reactions of some so called Celebrities, the musical punchlines from some arrogant and pompous artists (even from those who have outlived their essence in the industry) . Just imagine the unprovoked insults, organised demonstrations led by some so called "good governance" advocates using rented crowds, the "seductive" political commentaries from some self-made Think Tanks and self-styled governant experts or political analysts .
Just imagine the current socioeconomic, cultural and political mishaps. Just imagine how the aforementioned groups or entries especially the media have abetted in propagating the Spiral of Silence of this current regime.
Just imagine how pathetic it is that even the media cannot speak of the ills of this regime.
Just imagine how for obvious reasons, the likes of Manasseh Azure Awuni and many great and hitherto vociferous journalists have now either become Global Peace Ambassadors or Motivational Speakers.
Just imagine why everyone is silent. Is it for the fear of their precious lives or the fear of losing one's means of livelihood? To assuage their hunger and master's will? Just imagine.
Did you just say it's deliberate HYPOCRISY? Just imagine.
Who just whispered that this HYPOCRISY will send the nation to the point of no return? Just imagine.
Fellow Ghanaians, JUST IMAGINE!!!
