Dear Mr. President,
I heard that the “flying coffin” almost became your real coffin the other time. I don’t know why anyone would fly in an airplane that has been tagged as such but you still do. I guess you can say for the love of the country. I remember that when your government came into power (I love that phrase- came into power), you adamantly refused to fly in this coffin. I don’t know who finally convinced you that it’s not only Dracula who travels in a coffin, but whoever advised you is “playing chacha” aka gambling with your life. But like Dracula, you always escape death. I understand that this is not the first time that the pilots had to do gymnastics in the air to save your life… and theirs too. I hope the u-turn they did in the air was legal and that you did not have to bribe any policemen if it wasn’t. Did you give the pilots medals too the other time? I would really be miffed if I was asked to do such a dangerous job and not get a medal. Ei! What would Auntie Theresa do without you?

It’s election time here in Ghana and air is full of political nonsense and hot air.
Instead of tackling issues of relevance, the different parties are busy with name calling and blaming each other for all the evils in this world. Of course we don’t expect them to do anything once they come into power (it doesn’t matter the party) but at least the best they can do is try and make us think that one day we’ll get there. Hopefully. The only thing these parties seem to agree on is that the amounts charged by the electoral commission to register candidates has gone up. They even went to the extent of calling a press conference to complain to the press. And they did it together. That should give us a hint of where these parties seem to be interested in- when it affects their pockets.
