He has been admirably and conscientiously focused on "Making Ghana Even Better" (MAGAGA), at least since the People's Party Party led by Nkrumah, led by the First Republic, despite legion-related human rights issues. Wrong man. abuse of the main political and ideological opponents of Nkrumah. And this may partly explain the fact that Nana Addo Akufo-Addo Dankwa has obviously been relatively relatively flexible in her response to other tragedies and disasters, including the compelling need for the president to have at least tweeted sincere messages of condolences addressed to family members. , relatives and friends of recent victims of road accidents and floods in the country.
Nana Akufo-Addo knows, as well as any adult adult Ghanaian citizen, that these are basic formalities that accompany her job description; and the communication department of the Akufo-Addo Presidency has every interest in staying alert by constantly taking the old man aside and alerting him quickly to some of these duties and responsibilities. Of course, I am also addressing directly to the Jubilee House Protocol Division. You see, Ghanaians are as culturally studious as religious, especially Christocentric; It is partly for this reason that I strongly support and continue to support the construction project of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, which was recently ravaged by a fire of which the French authorities always investigate the origin. And it is also for this reason that it has come naturally to tweet his message of condolences – I believe in the English language and the French language – to pay tribute to President Emmanuel Macron and the French libertarian people warm and conscientious.
For those of our brothers and sisters who may not know it, President Akufo-Addo spent a remarkable period at work for a Wallstreet company in France, years ago, in the French capital, Paris; he is therefore very familiar with the historic site of France's oldest and first christocentric landmark. We must also quickly add that as former Foreign Minister, in the government of President John Agyekum-Kufuor, Nana Akufo-Addo is imbued with diplomatic protocol, which also explains why he was also quick as the flash to send his messages of condolence to the president. French and their leader. Of course, the honorable gesture that preceded us absolutely does not excuse his apparent lack of such a quick and accurate response to the most recent tragedy and disaster incidents at home.
I also think that if our leaders moderated the general wave of their global lust, as if in a thirst for vagrancy, they could be more effectively focused on the problems and difficulties – both avoidable and inevitable – at home. It should also be noted that the disaster at Notre-Dame Cathedral, just a week after Ghana became a full member of the Francophone Alliance, historically centered on French imperialist nationalism, left the president with no choice but to react promptly. show solidarity and fraternity with the peoples of the Francophonie as a whole, in much the same way that he would have quickly communicated with the British monarchy and Westminster, if any of the historical monuments or monuments of the British capital, such as one of London's famous cathedrals, was burned down, while, personally, I had the impression that the disaster of Notre Dame Cathedral – some people prefer to call it tragedy – offered in particular to the French population, but the former European imperialists nations in general, a slight but nevertheless nevertheless ancient and critical taste of what Africans must have felt during the long, mbadive looting season of traditional African arts and crafts indigenous, as well as as the indiscriminate destruction of African civilizations, cultures and humanity.
Nevertheless, the human being in me inspired the heavy heart or the sadness and even the sorrow and the sympathy towards the French people. Because at the end of the day, what we all saw in the apocalyptic conflagration that seriously damaged Notre Dame Cathedral bore our collective ingenious footprint as a human. Moreover, the Ghanaians must remember, if most of us do not already know, that the patron saint of France, namely Saint Maurice, is decidedly a naughty Afro-Black who has a host of distorting tribal marks . In summary, Saint Maurice could easily have been mistaken for an adult Yoruba, Hausa or even an adult Mamprusi / Mamprugu from the West African subregion, if one looks closely at some of the existing portraits of this man.
