There he goes again! ‘Essikado Abrantee’

I have been reading from Ato sometimes and I can agree with him on some of the things he says but his problem has always been the way he says it. If my memory serves me right this is not the first time this character has been given some sound advice. Sometime ago, I read an article by one Kweku Afful a.k.a Dr.Objective to Ato titled: A courteous Letter to Ato Kwamena Dadzie but Ato rubbished his advice and now Prince Kumah has also sounded the same advice but look as his so-called non-response which I view it as a coward and rain beaten chicken-like response anyway.

I see Ato as someone who hasn’t got any respect for the elderly and is bent on doing everything possible to introduce a silly culture of impunity into our beloved Ghanaian society in the name of democracy. Ato really comes across to me as someone who might have grown without the needed training deemed fit for a well natured Ghanaian child sorry Ato if am wrong but that is what you have made me believe about you sir. He seems to find solace in trying to castigate others to gain popularity with his dry jokes. I was so surprised to read from him again this morning referring to the Presidential inauguration of January 7 2009 as one in which His Excellency rumbled, fumbled and stumbled is this something to joke with when you know the man had an eye surgery just before the elections. How can you be that arrogant young man?

Ato I don’t know who your elders or mentors are but you need a good talking to. Democracy is good but when attitudes like yours is not checked we will be breeding vagabonds and foul-mouthed sycophants into our country. To those who will come to your defence all the time they need to understand that Ato’s attitude stinks and you must tell him the truth and stop encouraging his stupidity. The day he writes that about you or someone you respect and cherish you will really find a really to laugh at the wrong side of your jaws. (Anyway send your comment, it’s a democracy I no bi so?)I will be waiting for your response. How could Ato castigate Zita for inviting him to her Facebook list of friends? Her crime obviously is to try and encourage dirty talkers like Ato to have audience with her rather than hiding behind the cameras and the internet to spew untrue and unguided opinions about people with his stereotypical idiosyncrasies.

I know you are reading this Ato, if you don’t want to response don’t respond rather than writing a line to say it’s a no response and you won’t be talking to faceless non-entities ah you made me laugh. You think your Essikado krachi status without a degree or honours qualifies you to call people non-entities you are a coward yourself who hides behind the internet to take a swipe at men whose achievements you envy. Those people usually leave contact details and if you really want to be in touch with them you can contact them and if you learn to clean your mouth properly and wash your hands well they will give you some audience definitely.

As a true Ghanaian who believes in preserving our heritage of respect for the elderly, I will be happy to see Ato taking this advice on board rather than trying to show off to the few hot heads that support your silly and sarcastic write-ups which you try to defend by saying its satire. You see people like Ato will say stuff like my democratic right! They will make references to the Western world to justify their stupidity but they forget that the level of indiscipline that comes with irresponsible statement like the ones Ato vomits through his vent pipes daily can be very serious. Let me tell you the West is struggling with some of the excessive attributes of freedom of speech. The schools are full of notorious criminals who are been encouraged to fool around in the name of democracy. By the way we haven’t got that kind of money to spend on correctional centres like the West so we don’t have to allow such weeds like your nuisance character to generate indiscipline in our society.

I support people like Dr. Objective and Prince Kumah to say wise up young man give honour to whim honour is due and remember the ten commandments honour your father and mother which doesn’t apply to you biological parents alone but anyone at least older that you. With this behaviour Joy FM will always restrict you to trotro mate shows (bits and pieces on the programme of your good mentors like Kojo etc.) Be humble enough to listen or else your stupidity will catch up on you very soon.

Thank you very much Essikado abrantee Ato Kwamena Dadzie.
