For the records (as if anyone cares) this whole episode is needless, rudderless (to an extent) and clueless (for all it is worth).
Kɛ jɛ Nkrumah nɔ kɛyashi Kotoka side
In the midst of the welcome wars (Akwaaba ne Oobakɛ), the Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum signage appears to be the trigger yet there is a Kotoka International Airport (KIA) Akwaaba inscription that has largely been cited in the exchanges.
It is curious that while the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) addressed the mausoleum issue, the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has been quiet on the KIA signage.
But a critical look at the signage shows it is likely a corporate advertisement initiative by MTN.
Imagine it being the company renting space and deciding to use an inscription of choice, how is that any government's doing? Yet, we had the minister jumping into the deep end over essentially nothing.
In the midst of this, mischief makers doctored the Akwaaba inscription with Oobakɛ, which misled people online to believe government / GACL had acted.
The image was taken from a May 2024 video of the arrival of a Liberian blogger into Ghana.
Aawo Ga Mantsɛ he muji ni eyɛ minnla, I swear
Then the Ga Mantse video making the rounds, HRH has been "attacked" about the said comments, by at least Paul Adom-Otchere and Afia Schwar.
But guess what?
The video is in no way related to recent events. It dates back to July 17, 2025 when the Ga Mantse met Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London. (32:45 - 33:45)
The 24 seconds video thrusts him into the ongoing nonsense via the back door.
Onufui kɛ sisajii, nyɛnn bakɛ! 🐍👻
As for the ultra-ethno tribal keypad warlords (onufui kɛ sisajii), they often appear the rudderless, clueless bunch who put emotions ahead of reason and throw about their weight in a matter they remain visibly anonymous about, in the general scheme of events.
Don't stop, why should you, keep fanning the flames, one day the Otumfuo and Ga Mantse will commission digital loudmouths games and you will get your medals and trophies.
Tswa omanye abla wɔ!
Did i hear anyone ask, ni bo kwraa mini ji onaagba?
The social media noise appears to be a rallying point but for how long? The unhealthy social media tension and tribal rhetoric is counterproductive and the joke is on you because your leaders don't recognize it, they are more decent.
Lastly, imagine us lookibg at this within the lenses of integration and inclusion, opening up the welcome well instead of widening the welcome war.
Akɛ yitso ekome eyaa agyina doesn't mean tsofatsɛ baanu tsofa eha helatse!
Ayekoo, you have read this far. 😅🤭🫡
