A LETTER TO THE AFRICAN by POKO POKO

Dear Africans,

Have you ever wondered why FACEBOOK has never given us an app when our brothers and sisters get slaughtered like sheeps and cows in Nigeria or Sudan. WE saw the rainbow flag for gay rights and we have seen the French flag. And I'm sure any western world will qualify for this gesture.Does this mean that we ourselves do not care for the lives of those who die but are poor africans? You of all people jump on the bandwagon; and try to reassure yourselves thatyou are being a human being. NO you are hypocrite; just likethe people who run Facebook. NIGERIANS have been dying and I have not seen anything turn green and white? WHY because ALL of you have become comfortable with the death of poor AFRICANS. Death, becomes death, when it no longer astounds us. At that point the moral campus of humanity ceases to exist.Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong these worlds continue to render your humanity; but Lagos, Abuja, Joberg, everywhere where there is a Black African YOU HAVE NORMALIZED death. The industrial death of poor Africans no longer moves the world and has completely been taken away from the conscious of humanity. YOU ARE ALL hypocrites my African people.Your fervent desire to express remorse for tragedies in the western world, but retain silence for those of your fellow Africans continues to be a symptomatic reality of the disease of colonialism. Your actions are the offspring of your colonial history. Je nesuis pa Charlie, Je suis Wale, Je Suis Tao, Je suis Femi, Je Suis Akiyo, Je suis Karumba, Je Suis Mutale, Je Suis Sampa, Je Suis Adeyo.
I place a proscutory verdict on All Africans for your hypocrisy, your colonialism, and your normalization of the suffering of our continent. I find each and everyone of you guilty!!!I didn't see the Kenyan Flag... I didn't see the Nigerian Flag.. I didn't see the Sudanese Flag. YOU WILL NOT SEE THE FRENCH FLAG ON MY WALL!!UNTIL death, regardless of who the victims is, solicits the same disdain it does when terrorists attack paris. I WILL NOT NORMALIZE THE DEATH OF POOR AFRICANS.I stand in COMPLETE disdain of death. WHERE EVER it exists and wherever it is perpetuated by Terror. From ABUJA To Israel, Syria, Lebanon. I Poko stand against Terror; REGARDLESS OF THE VICTIM- arabs, muslims, christians, blacks, whites, women ,children, jews, hispanics. I STAND FOR HUMANITY.Yours faithfully and for humanity,

Poko Poko

WONDERING WHY THOSE FROM THE VOLTA REGION ARE CALLED NO 9 ?

The people from the volta Region are often called  No 9 .I use to wonder why and how they are refered to as no 9 until i came across a published article from the daily graphic explaining why our fellow kinsmen are popularly know as no 9

"Ghana's first Miss Ghana (1957), Monica Amekoafia. She represented then Trans Volta Togoland (Volta Region) and was the 9th contestant. A crowd favourite, she will forever go down in history as the woman on whose ticket people from the Volta Region earned the 'Number 9' nickname."

OPERATION DROP ROONEY

Manchester United managed just one shot on target in their prosaic derby draw with City in what was a missed opportunity for Louis van Gaal 's side.

City seemed content with a draw and were well drilled with Vincent Kompany back in defence, but even Van Gaal admitted United did not create enough chances on another chastening afternoon for their captain.

Van Gaal is 'sick' of talking about Wayne Rooney but the topic of his form is not about to vanish. United supporters were audibly exasperated with Rooney at Old Trafford on Sunday and there were more calls to drop him after the final whistle.

Rooney has scored six goals this season - three against the under-strength runners-up from the Belgian league - while two Premier League strikes in nine starts is insufficient

LESSON LEARNT FROM ESI WINNING GMB

Yesterday saw another queen being crowned in the one of the best reality shows in Ghana (Ghana most beautiful).One of the candidates Esi from the Central Region Cape Coast to be precise carried the ultimate after weeks of battling with other queens.

Aside her hardworking ,zeal and determination which took her to that far ,i realized she brought some sense of unity to oguaaman.It was amazing how all the media houses in Cape Coast rallied behind her to bring the crown home.

Each and everymorning ,u will hear all media houses in cape Coast advertising for her.Cape Coast was united to see her to the top.

Though i have a little issues with the whole Programe but i must confess this season of the show has been great.I say a very big Congratulation to Esi and the entire crew who supported her throughout especially Cape Threesixty .

If the whole of Cape Coast could show massive support to one individual to win the ultimate price then i will plead with the entire Oguaaman to rally against Illiteracy, Teenage Pregnancy and Sexual Transmitted Diseases in the Region.
