Wonders shall never end. At a point in time in Ghana, the Ndc propagandists spearheaded by President Mahama didn't want to hear and know that the economy of Ghana between 2017-2020 was booming until the COVID and the Ukraine and the Russia war rippled effects shattered the economy. Now the chicken has come back to roost and President Mahama is now telling Ghanaians that the just heightened tension between Iran and Israel is going to affect prices of fuel in the pumps.

Why can't the so called experts and the propagandists conjure some “magic” to stabilise future prices of the fuel in the face of the so called heightened tension in the Middle East as they suggested when things were getting out of hands when the Covid and the Ukraine and the Russia catastrophes were bitting us?We haven't seen anything yet.

Let's wait and see how the dollar will respond to this situation before Ghanaians can continue to shower praises on the government for the “artificial” gains.

The God of Nana Addo-Bawumia & the Npp government is not asleep.

Look, your government may have been good to you in many ways, but to the general populace, what we mostly remember you for, is the scale of thievery and looting of state properties that took place under Akufo Addo. Your people are so good at stealing! Some of us always pray for the good Lord to strike all the people that participated in this level of theft down. You created, looted and shared on a scale beyond human comprehension.

It takes a wise man to understand this Mamponghene tale.

There can be two or three untold secretes behind it.

1. The stressed Mamponghene could plead for forgiveness around the cave area and promise to destool himself and never to return to mampong again. In that case the army led by ankaasehene may have decided not to kill him but arranged for him to flee and relocate, they may have returned to tell the asantehene that the Mamponghene has turned to a cat and entered the cave

2. The Ankaasehene and his warriors May have killed the Mamponghene but looking at the repercussions and it's attendant civil war that could errupt the whole of Mampong traditional area knowing very well that the stubborn chief still enjoys massive support at home, they could decide to frame this nice tale which in a way will give the slain chief a heroic history and calm his supporters back home.

No need to use juju to invent an aeroplane because we can fly without aeroplanes. No need to use juju to eradicate poverty because then we the rich jujumen will not have people to control.

EXPLANATION of the Myth that a former Mamponghene in the olden days called Nana Owusu Sekyere Panin turned into a Cat

It should be noted that when the Mamponhene Nana Owusu Sekyere Panin escaped into a Cave, and probably a Cat OR Okusie which looks like a Cat, was seen entering the Cave, says Intellectual Historian, popularly known as Kwame Mayor, who is a Native Asante.

The Myth was created that the Mamponghene turned into a Cat, which is NOT true.

Writing senseless and meaningless tales when space should be devoted to better news across the country. Nothing new, for we've even heard about quack pastor Obinim turning into a snake, not to mention travelling to Heaven and back to Ghana. There's nothing mysterious about fat lies.
