Charley, what’s going on? I have more vim for this side and I
hope everybody reading this has vim too. Let us have a vimious week and rest of
the year. Talking about the rest of the year, I guess or hope you know we are
in October now and in a couple of week, we will be going to the polls to choose
a president. Are you aware of this or you have been sleeping? Wake up oo, I beg
for we are all involved, if you like it or not. On the 7th day of December,
2012, we are going to choose a president. Oh!!I just remembered Atta Mills, so
our president really died? No, I still don’t believe this. Anyway, he is dead
and gone and I know he is resting in peace. He was a good man, yes he was
indeed.
Enough of the death talks, now back to business, a friend of
mine told me there are about 23 political parties in Ghana, I don’t know if it’s
true or not because that girl tells me all sort of lies all the time so someone
please confirm this. Let us be frank with each other, even though it is alleged
that we have all of these political parties, only 2 are relevant for now and
they are the NPP and the NDC. I didn’t know which political party to mention
first and please don’t start drawing conclusions already. I tossed a coin and
NPP won so I needed to mention them first. Sometimes doing these things can be
work, one least mistake and someone sitting somewhere will start talking.. Yes I
tossed a coin in order to know who I should mention first. Are you trying to
tell me PPP will win this election or PNC is going to come out victorious? We know
that this is impossible, at least not this year’s elections. The race is between
NPP and NDC, I won’t even beat about the bush to make this post long.
I don’t even know why I am talking too much. My main reason
for this post is a little bit worthless, to you, but I like thinking about
minor stuff, stuff that someone will see as irrelevant, that is what I take at
heart. Why am I not seeing or feeling the whole campaign fever? Less than 2
months to elections and I am seeing nothing. I am not saying nothing is going
on at all but let us compare this year’s to the others and tell me if this year’s
isn’t dull. In the past, even when I wasn’t eligible to vote, these politicians
will come around and give us party paraphernalia (t shirts, key chains, hats,
colourful posters etc) and we would ‘shee jama’ all day long following them
around. Even in my small community, they held rallies and went from door to
door begging for votes. Their cars with PA systems made noise on the streets
and I remember how those decibels worried my ear-drums. Its silent now, nothing
is going on. I don’t see people wear political party t shirts much and I don’t hear
anything. Is it because the people are fed-up or I am not paying attention? No,
I have kept these ears to the streets and charle, I am seeing or hearing
nothing.
Anyway, it is still coming on and I hope the people choose
wisely. Do you think Atta Mills’ death will play a role in this election? Would
people have sympathy for the NDC and go like, ‘because Atta is dead, let me
console Mahama with this my 1 vote’? I know how the Ghanaian voter thinks, they
can be funny sometimes and you will be shock with the reasons they will give if
you ask them why they voted for a certain political party. As the date draws
nearly, I would want us to remember that, we should do this in peace, once
again we should show the world that we can do this. Let us be a blazing example
to all those countries who were not able to do theirs peacefully. We are one
people, we shouldn’t let any politician cause us to fight amongst ourselves. Remember,
they will leave us here and we will be left to suffer.
Ah yes!! Now I know why the campaign is dull this time,
Wayome took all the money away.
