When Kwame Gyan wished the violent Ukrainian situation for Ghana, it
was Lydia Forson who took him to the cleaners for his unguided remarks on
facebook. Lydia's response to Gyan's post was deeply penetrating with basic
logic and sense relative to the unsuitability of the latter's incendiary post.
As a matter of fact, the issue became prominent when Gyan was
suspended by his employers, Airtel, on the merits of his post. The debate was
heated and rife. Interestingly, it was portions of Lydia's response that the
government communicators and certified social media hardliners were using to
argue their points on the matter. Her response suddenly became the Holy
Scripture that was copiously quoted on social media timelines and comment
boxes.
Strictly speaking, I wrote a lengthy post on the matter by virtue of
Lydia's take.
Today, the same Lydia feels the government is not doing enough with
the many flimsy excuses. And hell has to break lose as unexamined social media
government footsoldiers decorate her with unprintable adjectives and swear
nouns such as "stupid", "whore", "harlot",
"rotten vagina" et cetera.
Like seriously! Lydia is a star and certainly will have a fairly
decent life irrespective of economic whatever. A life better than the
unrewarded social media footsoldiers who devour fiercely every critic of the
government.
Well, she might be complaining because she's fed up of fuelling her
generator. But let's ask ourselves if we can even go to the market and ask the
price of a generator. She might be complaining because our voices as
"commoners" can't pass for a discussion on national platforms. She is
complaining for you and I.
When I visited my pro-government friend Alhassan M Awal last weekend
in Tamale here, he complained of spending GHC120 on fuel for his generator for
only 8 out 30 days of dumsor. Then, I realised how much other poor Ghanaians
are spending in dumsor-stricken areas on generators. But mind you, GHC120 can
feed many families for a whole month.
Dumsor is a common enemy we must all fight. Persons must not be seen
as enemy of government for expressing their frustrations. At least, my JSS
defines energy as the ability to do work. So, how do we get work done smoothly
and effectively when there is no energy or when it is utterly erratic and seems
unending. In case we don't know, China places more premium on energy than
education because energy has become the driving force of several economies.
Kofi Wayo believes that democracy is about criticising your own
life. If you don't criticise it, it won't get better. Ironically, when people
with fairly better life is whining, the nokofio folks are uncomfortable. Saa?
The government strives on the sweat of the hoi polloi and we reserve
every right to chant and shout when things seemingly are run amok.
For those who think she has a rotten vagina should pinch themselves
to the reality their mouths are closer to their noses.
Lydia is not just a mere movie star or screen goddess. The lady from
afar is an intelligent talented critical thinker with timeless beauty.
Please get off her ass!
NB: As an avowed hater of bleaching, Yvonne Nelson is not my fav but
should be left to shine. She spoke to the BBC in London. There is no dumsor in
London but you're here ranting and raving like a mongrel.
Hmmmcharas plural of hmmmchara. We deserve more! I don't think there
is a cost if all citizens of a country decided to become Oliver Twist.
