Dual Citizens / Ghanaians Abroad Should Hold Elective Office in Ghana

Dual Citizens / Ghanaians Abroad Should Hold Elective Office in Ghana --- Constitutional Review Commitee Told

By Tsi-Tsi Mashinini, UHURU TIMES

The Self Proclaimed Leader of Ghanaians Abroad Coalition has publicly asked the Constitutional Review Committee to ensure that Ghanaians Abroad / Dual Citizens (like the Accra Mayor who is the best friend of His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills), are allowed hold Public Offices such as the Presidency arguing that the June 4th Terrorism caused many Intellectuals to flee the Country thus causing Brain Drain --- further arguing that a Nation that cannot take care of its Citizens have no Moral Right to complain when the Citizens flee to Greener Pastures and acquire "Papers".

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, dubbed "America's Mandela" asked Ghanaians Abroad --- including Dual Citizens to be emboldened by the extraordinary courage of Nelson Mandela who defied South Africa's apartheid and in the same way, defy Ghana's apartheid that seeks to prevent indigenous Citizens by Blood, Birth and Ancestry from holding public offices such as running for the Presidency.

"If you shut the Birth and Blood Rights of People from holding public office, you are directly or indirectly inviting them to use "By any means necessary" to come to power" instead of the Peaceful (Non-Violent) and Democratic means, said the Celebrated Democracy Activist and Freedom Fighter.

Turning once again to this year's June 4th anniversary and explaining that none of those executed during the June 4th "Pigs Revolution" deserved to die --- (since none of them was given a fair trial to defend themselves, and were victims of "Kangaroo Courts"), former Ghanaian-American Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate, "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Appiah Boateng, popularly known by Ghanaians around the World as "Kwame Mayor", has publicly condemned the "Hypocritical and Sadistic Savages" who thronged to Teshie Firing Squad range in 1979 to watch the public executions of the former Heads of State and Army Generals, and said on his Campaign Website : WWW.KwameforPresident.Com, that Rawlings and Boakye Djan "could have been beheaded during the French Revolution !!!" --- pointing to (historical evidence) that Maximilien Robespierre, who was widely associated with beheading people during the French Revolution was [himself beheaded] by members of France's National Convention which had had enough of the Revolutionary Terror !!!

In July 1794, Maximilien Robespierre, the Leader of the French Revolution who executed many People in the name of the Revolution, was himself, later arrested and executed --- (in the same fashion as those whom he had condemned), and Flight Lieutenant (Retired) Jerry John Rawlings has wisely avoided presenting this historical evidence anytime he has sought solace with the French Revolution to justify his and Boakye Djan's June 4th "Pigs Revolution", said "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Appiah Boateng ("Kwame Mayor"), the anticipated Ph.D. Student in Political Science at the prestigious Claremont Graduate University and alumnus of the famouse and prestigious University of Southern California (USC).

"Hear Ye !!!, hear ye !!! --- Rawlings and Boakye Djan always cleverly avoid mentioning that aspect of the French Revolution that beheaded France's Maximilien Robespierre whose "appetite for blood" equals that of Ghana's Rawlings and Boakye Djan.

"Ghanaians should forgive, but the World must be reminded until it comes to an end that "Blood Thirsty" Boakye Djan, a dangerous anti-Asante Tribalist and Jerry John Rawlings, avowed Tribalist and Racist, cowardly executed the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa (and the equally brave Rear Admiral Joy Amedume), to mention but a few" and thereafter, John Agyekum Kufuor, the "Great Satan" accepted a position from Rawlings --- callously and wickedly ignoring what Afrifa, Acheampong, Akuffo, Amedume, Utuka, Kotei, Feli, Yaw Boakye and Odartey Wellington endured in their last days ---the Pro-American and Ghanaian-American Democracy Activist and former Precinct Captain / Volunteer for President Barack Obama's 2008 Campaign pointed out as he warned that the (United States has every right to pursue and capture Terrorists, including Political Terrorists in Ghana !!!).

Meanwhile, the "People's Mayor" publicly pleaded with the BNI Director, Mr. Yaw Donkor not to allow the Organization to be infiltrated by Terrorist Groups who would like to turn the Nation's Institution into a Terrorist Organization as Kufuor's BNI did to him and expressed deep concern that a Ghanaian Woman died after being hauled into the BNI premises.

" I strongly believe that my former Classmate, Yaw Donkor did not know anything about the Woman's death, but he has a Legal, Moral and Ethical Duty to purge the BNI from Terrorists who abuse their powers to harass, intimidate and persecute their own African brothers and sisters, said the "People's Politician" who says that he still has full confidence in his former Classmate to turn the BNI into a Civilized and Democratic organization.

The former Ghanaian-American Candidate for Governor of California and ex-Candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles however, publicly cautioned his former Classmate and BNI Director, Yaw Donkor not to behave hypocritically like Stephen Asamoah-Boateng, his ("Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor's) other Classmate at "Great Koss" in Ashanti Region.

" I don't betray Childhood or Youthful Friendship and any friendship, period !!!, and those who do that to me invite a "Third World War to themselves", said the Pro-American Democracy Activist and Ghanaian born Celebrated Politician who, in 1993 bravenly shocked the United States' Political Establishment by becoming the first indigenous African to ever run for a higher Political office in the history of America --- (since America's Independence from Great Britain in 1776).

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Appiah Boateng, "Kwame Mayor" and Ghana's BNI "James Bond Spy-Master" --- Mr. Yaw Donkor were briefly Classmates at "Krasec" High School in Kete Krachi --- before he ("Osagyefo Kwame Mayor) attended "Great Koss" High School with dis-graced former Minister, Stephen Asamoah-Boateng ("Asaabe"), and Mawulo Zormelo, Press Secretary at the Office of Vice President John Mahama.

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, the Great Grandson of Asante Adonteng Puduo Royals and War Generals whose very biological ancestors historically led Asante wars to defeat "Colonialism and Imperialism perpetuated by our White British Brothers and Sisters", thanked Ghanaians for uniting to bring to an end --- the arrogance, selfishness and greediness of former President John Agyekum Kufuor who abused his power to persecute and torture him --- (in collaboration with his former Classmate at "Great Koss", the disgraced Stephen Asamoah-Boateng, "Asaabe".

Touching on Ghana's Unity, the Great Politician pleaded with Ghanaians to totally (reject) tribalism and "racism and reminded Ghanaians that Asantes and Ewes will forever live as Brothers and Sisters --- despite the "Ethnic Divide" that Flight Lieutenant [Retired] Jerry Rawlings and Major [Retired] Boakye Djan, dangerous anti-Asantes, brought to the Nation during their 1979 "Pigs Revolution".

" In the Good Old Days (before) Rawlings and Boakye Djan divided the Nation on Ethnic Lines due to tribalistic executions of the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa; the brave Rear Admiral Joy Amedume and the murder of Odartey Wellington, my Parents, staunch Nkrumahists and Asante Royals, named my younger brother after a prominent and powerful Ewe and Trade Unionist, Mr. John Tetehgah", bragged the "Larger than Life Pan-Africanist".

" My step Sisters and a step brother who hail from the Kente weaving Town of Bonwire in the Ashanti Region of Ghana who travelled and lived in such places as Kete Krachi and Jasikan, etc can speak fluent Ewe", said the Asante Royal Politician who boasts that he will be the first Politician in Ghana to win Landslide victories in both Ashanti and Volta Regions and the only Seasoned Politician capable of permanently uniting Asantes and Ewes, as well as permanently uniting other Ghanaian brothers and sisters".

" The Good Old days when Ghana's first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah united Ghana under "One Nation with a Common Destiny" was destroyed by the architects of the 1979 "Pigs Revolution" --- Boakye Djan and Jerry John Rawlings who divided the Nation by killing on Ethnic / Tribal lines !!!

"Our Good Ewe Brothers and Sisters should follow the footsteps of the Legendary Politician --- the late Komla Gbedemah who helped to unite Ghana and Mother Africa", said the Asante Royal Politician who is highly respected by Ghanaians regardless of their Political affiliations, Tribe or Ethnicity.

Switching to the just ended June 4th Celebration, the "People's Politician" who has warned against future celebrations of June 4th so-called "Revolution", --- arguing that the event was in essence "Pigs Revolution" that ended in the same way as "Animal Farm !!!", reminded former Military Junta Leader Jerry John Rawlings who has compared the June 4th Revolution with the French Revolution and exulted bloodshed --- (that the leader of the French Revolution who took so many lives was in the end captured and beheaded by the French people themselves !!!).

"That's part of the story about the French Revolution that Jerry John Rawlings has never told Ghanaians !!!", "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, who has taught American classrooms and is about to begin "Campus Speaking / Lecture Tours" in American Colleges and Universities said on his popular Campaign Website : WWW.KwameforPresident.Com.

[IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT] --- Accusing Western Powers of "Double Standards towards Africa" (when it comes to Human Rights abuses), and "Practicising Mulato Racism" which for years, has allowed former Ghana's Military Junta Dictator, Jerry John Rawlings --- a ("Mulato African Brother") to terrorize an entire Nation of Ghana with "extraordinary and barbaric impugnity", former Ghanaian-American 2010 Candidate for Governor of California and 1993 Candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles, "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, has publicly pleaded on his Campaign Website : WWW.KwameforPresident.Com --- with the new British Government to immediately extradite former Ghana's Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) Spokesman, Major (Retired) Boakye Djan to appear before United Nation's Tribunal for "Crimes Against the People of Ghana", and "Crimes Against Humanity" --- for his role in ordering the public execution of the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa, a former Head of State who voluntarily relinquished power many years before "Rawlings' June 4th Pigs' Revolution" took place in Ghana.

" If Rawlings were a dark skin or Black African like former Uganda's Military Dictator Iddi Amin, Western Countries would have united to denounce him and moreover, Rawlings would have ended his reign of terror in Ghana long time ago".

" African Blood is not cheap", the Celebrated Human Rights Activist reminded Western Powers as he praised former German's Chancellor for criticising Western Power's "Double Standards" when it comes to African Dictators.

"When Saddam Hussein terrorized his own People, the "Coalition of the Willing" intervened to save Iraqis, but who saved Rwandas ?, who saved Burundis ?, who saved Ivorians ?, who saved Congolese (Zarians) ? and who saved Liberians ?, who saved Sierra Leonians ?

"Why is Obama's White House and previous White House administrations allowed Rawlings to terrorize an entire Nation of Ghana with brazen impugnity ?", asked the one time Precinct Captain for Obama's Campaign.

"At least the ["Cow-Boys Diplomacy"] of Republican President George Bush scared the hell of African Dictator, said the fair-minded Politician who has Morally questioned why President Barack Obama who visited Ghana has not publicly condemned Rawlings reign of Terror.

" And why did Great Britain reward Major (Retired) Boakye Djan with Political Assylum status after raining blood in Ghana in 1979 ?", asked "America's Mandela".

The "America's Mandela", who is scheduled to lead a "Million Men and Women March to the White House" to protest Arizona's "Anti-Immigrants' Law" on July 3rd, 2010 and also, to protest Global Terrorism and Police Abuse on July 4th and July 5th 2010 respectively, used the June 4th (shameful anniversary) to appeal to the British Government to extradite ex-AFRC Spokesman, Major (Retired) Boakye Djan to appear before United Nations Tribunal for specifically ordering the public execution of the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa --- (while publicly asking former Military Junta Leader, Jerry John Rawlings to "do the right thing" by surrendering (voluntarily) to "Allied Forces" before they eventually capture him for committing "Crimes Against the People of Ghana", and "Crimes Against Humanity", and for his links to the murder of Rear Admiral Joy Amedume).

The Celebrated Human Rights and Civil Rights Activist described the current leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as "hypocrites for long forgetting about the extraordibary Human Rights abuses of Rawlings and Boakye Djan and failing to make Rawlings' Horrors in Ghana, a major Campaign issue".

" All that these NPP aspiring Flagbearers think about is how to become President of Ghana, while "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor has always been in the trenches, using Peaceful and Non-Violent Strategies to expose the "Satanic Evils" of Rawlings; Boakye Djan and former President John Agyekum Kufuor, who was 100% a "PNDC Collaborator" at the very time Asantes and other Ghanaians from all Tribes and Ethnicity became Victims of State Terror, the ethical and Moralist Politician reminded Ghanaians around the World.

[Still], weeping un-controllably at this year's June 4th Anniversary --- (in Memory of the executed former Heads of State and Senior Army Officers, especially the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa and the beloved Rear Admiral Joy Yao Amedume, in the hands of former Military Junta Leader, Jerry John Rawlings and his Crime Associate, Major (Retired) Boakye Djan) --- and remembering the Civilians who were murdered in cold blood, and the Ghanaian Women who were stripped naked and paraded through the streets, former Ghanaian-American Candidate for Governor of California and the first Ghanaian born to run for Mayor of Los Angeles ---"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Appiah Boateng, popularly known by Ghanaians around the World as "Kwame Mayor", has publicly said on his popular Campaign Website : WWW.KwameforPresident.Com, that "Pigs Revolution was exactly, June 4th Revolution" --- emphasising : "June 4th was 100% Pigs' Revolution".

The "Greatest Politician ever to set foot on Ghana's Soil", ironically threatened to join the Democratic Side of NDC, led by His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills who has boycotted the June 4th celebration --- (instead of the Terrorist NDC side led by Rawlings) --- after systematically being "marginalized" by Kufuor's controlled NPP Camp.

" I have tried my best again and again and again to join the NPP Camp but, Kufuor's forces still would not give me a chance, so "go to hell if you don't understand me ", said the American trained Scholarly Politician who sometimes uses "American Slang" to make a point.

"Maybe if I join the NDC, it would reduce Political tension in the Country because Ghana cannot afford to have Rawlings "booming on one side", with "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor "booming on the other side of the Political Equilibrium".

" Ghana cannot have Peace in such a scenario", cautioned the Politician dubbed "America's Mandela" who has "Battle Scars" to show to the World Community after years of fighting Political Terrorists --- whether they are the [few] Political Terrorists in America who have persecuted him for years for his Heroic Civil Rights and Human Rights Crusades and for other politically-motivated reasons --*(without the consent of the Civilized Government at the White House)* -- or "Battle Scars" from Kufuor's era BNI and from "Rawlings' Security Mafias" in Ghana.

" His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills has a Moral, Ethical and Legal duty to warn "Rawlings' Security Mafias" against turning any State Institution into a Terrorist Organization against me, because of the grave consequences, and the fact that brave Ghanaian People and the equally brave American People from all walks of Life --- (Blacks, Whites, Latinos and the whole International Community would engage in "People's Retaliation" on his behalf and fight back against Terrorists --- as Saddam Hussein and his henchmen experienced first hand"), said the Pro-American Democracy Activist.

Returning to the June 4th "Pigs' Revolution", the Maverick Politician said : "Folks, even though Rawlings is Evil, he must be given his due".

" Boakye Djan, who ordered the savagery execution of Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa is undoubtedly, (more evil than Rawlings"), said the Great Politician who is (Morally angry that the NPP has always failed to utilize his Political Talents), therefore, has once again, publicly threatened to join the "Democratic side of NDC" led by His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills --- (with the sole reason of flushing out or expelling the Political Terrorists' Camp within the [NDC]), and making the Party a National Party ---(in order to make the NDC more Democratic, and Civilized with respect for the Rule of Law and respect for the Sanctity of Life !!!).

"If NDC does not want to change, we will change it for them", said the Populist and Centrist Politician, who says that he does not want to become a Puppet to be controlled by Rawlings' like President John Evans Atta Mills.

" Yes, we can change NDC and remove Rawlings as the Founder and make Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the Founder --- (since Rawlings stole Dr. Nkrumah's CPP supporters to build his NDC), and yes, we can also remove all Political Terrorists from the NDC", said the so-called "Re-Incarnation of Ghana's first President", who has publicly blamed Rawlings for destroying the CPP and stealing the followers of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

" We should do unto Rawlings, what he did to Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, said "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor.

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor praised His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills for "Gradually, rejecting State-Sponsored Terrorism", but reminded the President that although he has publicly washed his hands off the "Kangaroo Trial" of Nana Darkwa Baafi, an NPP activist "like Pontious Pilate", his government should ultimately be held accountable before International Courts for the Mental Torture and Psychological Torture of the NPP Defendant who is a victim of a disgraceful politically-motivated persecution and prosecution.

[Still], appealing to the Nation to embrace the philosophy of Peaceful (Non-Violent) Resistance to seek Justice to atone for the "Greater Evils of former AFRC Military Junta Leaders Jerry John Rawlings and Major (Retired) Boakye Djan, the Great Politician said that since former Military Junta Leader Jerry John Rawlings always boasts that his, and Boakye Djan's AFRC Military regime had to "sacrifice the executed Senior Military Officers including former Heads of State" --- "it is logical to conclude that someday, both Rawlings and Djan could be executed by [their own] June 4th Revolutional ideas and ideals, in order to "sacrifice" them to the gods of the Land".

"Osagyefo" Kwame Mayor once again, pleaded with the Nation to give former President John Agyekum Kuffuor an award --- (COMPANION OF PNDC MILITARY REGIME !!!) --- to highlight the fact that Kufuor once accepted a position from Rawlings' PNDC Military government --- (with the full knowledge that Rawlings and Major (Retired) Boakye Djan had cowardly supervised AFRC Military government that executed the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa and the Beloved Rear Admiral Joy Amedume etc, and also, cold-heartedly murdered the "People's Soldier !!!" --- General Odartey Wellington, to mention but a few.

"African governments must be warned against terrorizing their own Citizens", said America's Mandela who has used his Powerful Pen and Moral Courage to bravery resist cruelty and evil.

"The White House has a Moral Obligation to send a strong message to the World Community that the blood of Africans are equally important as the blood of every Human Being on this Planet, regardless of Color, Race or Tribe and therefore, should pressure the United Nations to fulfil its Moral obligation to open investigations into the 1979 savagery executions of Ghana's former Heads of State and Army Generals, (especially the barbaric execution of the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa, and the equally barbaric murder of the beloved Rear Admiral Joy Amedume --- serious crimes committed by Major (Retired) Boakye Djan who is a dangerous Anti-Asante Tribalist and Jerry John Rawlings, another dangerous un-repentant racist and tribalist.

" The only Language African Dictators and Political Terrorists understand is the use of the most efficient "No Nonsense" and "Cow-Boy Diplomacy" that former President Bush practicised which truly "scared the hell of many African Dictators who normally abuse power to terrorize and kill their own African brothers and sisters", noted the anticipated Ph.D. Student in Political Science at Claremont Graduate University (CGU).

Touching on the rights of Ghanaian-Americans, the well-educated and talented Politician publicly asked Ghana's Constitutional Review Committee why Ghanaian-Americans are discriminated and marginalized in Ghana's political process and although he ("Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor) wrote articles appealing to Ghanaians to give a chance to the new Ghanaian-American Mayor of Accra, he wonderes why His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills gave his Ghanaian-American friend an opportunity to become Accra Mayor, while the President rejected his application to become the Mayor of Kumasi - although he, ("Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor) studied Public Administration and Public Financial Management with such degrees as Master of Public Administration (MPA); Master's Certificate in Public Financial Management, Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs and Public Administration all from the prestigious University of Southern California (USC), coupled with (coursework) in Doctor of Public Administration at the University of Southern California (USC) and currently, an admitted Ph.D. Student at the equally prestigious Claremont Graduate University (CGU).

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, an Educator also has years of experience in America's City and County governments and his knowledge of Local government issues earned him a story in 1984 in the Sacramento Union when the then Mayor of Sacramento, Anne Rudin and former City Councilman - turned California's secretary of Health and Human Resources showered praises on him.

Asked why America, especially the White House under President George Bush and prior to that, under President Bill Clinton never gave him any opportunity to serve the White House despite his impressive qualifications and the un-disputable fact that his he is a qualified Ghanaian-American and the only Ghanaian-American to ever run for high offices in the history of America and the first indigenous African to run for a higher public office since America gained her independence from Great Britain in 1776, the gifted and Scholarly Politician, who served as a Volunteer and Precinct Captain in Los Angeles and Long Beach respectfully for Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential Campaign replied on his popular Website : WWW.KwameforPresident.Com.

" It is equally fair for Ghana too to ask President Barack Obama why Kwame Mayor has been deprived of the American Dream"

" It's not easy to stand up like Nelson Mandela in America"

"Hard Road to Freedom", said the Politician who despite his rhetorics, has the same "Forgiving Spirit" like the Legendary Nelson Mandela, but will always fight against tyranny, injustice, in-equality, and oppression.

"The Struggle is also my Life, said "America's Mandela".

" I am like a (Persecuted Jew), and as a Ghanaian-American with no Tangible Rights (for Politically-Motivated reasons) --- in USA and in my own Native Land of Ghana, I am a "Palestinian without a Land", lamented the Great Political Thinker and Philosopher.

" The United States of America (USA), the proverbial Land of the Free and Home of the brave where I am yet to dream the American Dream ---- despite years of Hardwork, un-precedented Perseverance and Courage; enviable Academic Laurels and Heroic Democratic Credentials as well as Civil Rights activism --- and Ghana, my own Land of Birth which has never given me any opportunity for politically-motivated reasons, should "do the right thing", the Legendary Human Rights and Civil Rights Activist said as he eyes the World Court of Law for redress.

" The truth hurts in the ears of extremely biased and ignorant few, but I am truly like a Persecuted Jew and also, like a Palestinian without a Land" --- "America's Mandela", whose victimizations under State-sponsored politically-motivated persecutions in Ghana, (especially under the previous government of former President John Agyekum Kufuor) and also, in the hands of a [few] Enemies of Democracy, Enemies of Freedom, Enemies of Liberty and Enemies of Equality in America who cowardly terrorized and persecuted him for daring to dream the Great American Dream --- without the knowledge and approval of the Civilized Democratic Government at the White House, said

" My Heroic Struggles to promote and maintain the basic principles of Democracy, Freedom, Liberty; Civil Rights and Human Rights deserve to be immortalized in the Guiness' Book of Records", the "Politician of the People, for the People and by the People", again spoke in "Hi-Tech Parables".
