Our organisation has over the years observed and researched with keen interest the activities of the various IMF representatives and US Ambassadors in Ghana and has concluded that these bodies are fundamentally engaged in scoundrel diplomacies to undermine the intelligence, integrity, dignity, and will of the good people of Ghana. We now deem it appropriate to send some diplomatic words of caution to these two organisations and their representatives in Ghana.
- Background and Education on the Wisdom in the African DNA
Before we proceed, we want to offer a background and some education on the thoughts and knowledge ingrained in African DNA. Our African Ancestors and Forebears, the first known humankind, millions of years ago, knew that:
- The earthly bodies revolve, so humans as we are, cannot tell the beginning and the ending of the world.
- God is so huge and limitless that to find containment for Himself, He spread his energies into all his creations: the soil, stones, plants, humans, the air, moons, stars, and everything in the universe. That’s the reason our Ancestors worshipped God through God’s creations.
- These energies (God) residing in these objects keep track of one’s good or evil deeds. And one will get rewarded according to one’s deeds, whether in the present life or the reincarnated life.
Which is now called karma in the Eastern world. This made our Ancestors live responsibly, so we did not need incarceration or prison systems.
Our ancestors in the prehistoric periods chronicled their wisdom on tablets and in symbols and built pyramids with esoteric acumen. They built revered artefacts that most were destroyed or stolen by invaders at various timestamps in history. Then Greek, Roman, and other empires decided to destroy Africans after they had stolen from us our knowledge systems.
Africans’ contacts with the outside world during mediaeval times were again marked by barbaric savagery, slavery, and all forms of exploitation including stocking their museums with African sacred artefacts. For us, we do not call for revenge for past wrongdoings against us. However, subsequent exploitations and dehumanising injustices against our people would not be accommodated.
- Recent Happenings in Ghana on the Political, Economic, and Social Fronts in Ghana
We have observed with sourness the utter and incessant disregard, subversion, and toying with the will and sovereignty of Ghanaians on two fronts:
- The IMF’s both subtle and overt manipulations in aiding Ghanaian governments to destroy our economy
- The US Ambassador’s despicable speech and undiplomatic blackmail to destroy our humanity, cultural, moral, spiritual, and religious values with the dastard LGBTQ+
Our problem with the IMF is, Ghanaians are currently reeling under untold hardships resulting from our devastated economy, our nation’s indebtedness situation, corruption, and glaring mismanagement of our national resources. The gross retrogressions in our health, education, roads, and infrastructure sectors. The painful domestic debt exchange programme and criminal developments at the Bank of Ghana. Yet the IMF continues to issue statements explaining and exonerating our government in all their communications.
As Ghanaians, we want to know:
- Who gave that authority or voted for the IMF in that regard?
- Whether the finances of your home countries are mismanaged in the same manner?
iii. Whether you also have international organisations in your home countries issuing statements, absolving your governments of their mismanagement?
- Or it simply serves your purpose when our beautiful country is mismanaged, indebted and permanently hooked to the IMF?
On the issue of LGBTQ+, the Parliament of Ghana, religious organisations in Ghana, the Ghana
National House of Chiefs, and all well-meaning Ghanaians have spoken against it. Nonetheless, the US Ambassador still gathered the courage to speak on it at the recent US-Ghana Business
Expo, in disregard and insurrection of our unanimous voices, consciences, beliefs, traditions, and wills.
As Ghanaians, we wonder whether she:
- Has already packaged pads, pampers, and medical supplies waiting for our innocent relatives who will fall victim to LGBTQ+ activities, as donations under the guise of USAID or whatever branding?
- Is pursuing the same agenda in the Arab world and the Far East?
iii. Or merely exercising the usual condescending imperial-colonial mentality?
- Conclusion
We want to advise these two organisations to see Ghana and Ghanaians:
- First, as discerning, peace-loving human-beings who go to the polls with aspirations for economic development and well-being,
- Second, as a sovereign nation, whose sovereignty must be respected by all other nations around the world,
- Three, as a people with values and beliefs that need to be revered by every foreign agency.
Thank you all for your attention.
