Mansa Musa’s Spade is a Spade Series

From 1957 to date, two words, honesty and discipline, seem not to have been understood by us. We are still waiting to be tutored by Europe and America. What a shame
Hey! What do you do for a living? Good question
A senior-aged gentleman friend of mine, we got chatting, a proper verbal chat, not the WhatsApp type. He said
“Mansa, listen to this, a Ghanaian youth had fraudulently obtained moneys from unsuspecting but silly old people in America. For this, the American security capos had directed their apprentice counterparts in Ghana to arrest that fraudster. This is all very good but what has pricked my conscience is the question the Ghana police officers put to him. They asked him, what he did or does for a living( adwuma b3n na woye?)”.
The magical sources of massive wealth, shouldn’t that be explained, in general?
My elderly friend continued,
“mansa, can you imagine if a tenth of political elites and other civil servants were to be asked to explain the source of their massive wealth, some working for just a year or even ten years. Imagine if a proper Special Prosecutor would randomly check with tax officials and then call persons to explain why or how with a salary of say 100,000 cedis per annum have been able to build a mansion of about a million dollars or a million pound sterlings. , _”mansa, if we did this, the system would be cleaned within 5 years. Just think about it” he ended.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to think about it. Have a nice night. See you tomorrow. Cheers
