Provoked by his birthday, I deem it necessary to show my veneration to the last man standing in the realm of envious possession of archival manuscripts. I honestly wish we could deify or immortalise him for he's a repertoire of Ghana's sociopolitical scriptures. He's a custodian of top secrets documents of both pre-and-post colonial era. He's a hybrid of all profession though a media personality but his appreciation of the profession of Latin jargons is intriguing. This has earn him the accolade of rarity, the pro pocket lawyer. Surely, you will prefer him represent you in court if he thrills you with his technical competencies about the nuances of the law.
He's an orator par excellence and his soundbites always rocks the airwaves unabated. "Go and say it to the marines", "baloney", "to be charitable", "a propaganda spin for political capital", "if I am provoked", "premature ejaculation", et al are his patented expressions enjoying abusive use in Ghana's political discussions.
"Book no lie" is his watchword. Speaking on air is not enough. He always have the document to support his claim. You dare him documentwise at your own risk. His network is more sophisticated than the American CIA. The word impossible is not in his dictionary - he believes every document, no matter the content, is interceptible. What makes him unique is his knack for originality. He doesn't believe in transmitting and regeneration of documents to other forms. Don't get him wrong - he's not a technophobe. He's only preserving the epistles of truth.
Who is this man? He's a man that presumably fall in the clutches of "when society drifts away from the truth, the more they will hate those who speak it" This man carry all dates of events of Ghana's historical agitations in just one brain cell - call him Ghana's early protestant and pioneer of demorioting. I just love him. I am not a gay!
Badly, we need his prototype before he nicodemusly bolts to our home of origin. I will try and see if I can fit into his oversized shoes and gargantuan hat. But truth be untold, he's unparalleled when it comes to discretion - a forte many shall pursue till the kingdom come and at best achieve a semblance of it akin to the dollar and cedi relationship.
The man you will hate to love and love to hate for speaking the unspeakable speakables is Abdul Malik Kweku Baako. Don't die now or else we won't bury you!
This post is not a fallacy of dubious validity.
Laa'illah-a-illalaah!
Happy Birthday!
