Somewhere. No electricity; hydro or generated. Natural waters. To drink. To bathe. To wash. To ….. Somewhere. Native medicine. Holistic medicine. Somewhere. Large farms. Natural fertilisers. No schools. Farming all day. Feeds the city. Peanuts for hardwork. Exploitation.

Brown white shirt. Sewn and patched sandals. Whitened brown khaki pants. Brown and black stained yellowed teeth. Tobacco. Pipe. Native lounge chair (akpasa). Gourd of palmwine. Coca-Cola bottle full of locally distilled gin. Cracked calabash. 100 percent overproof.

He is a Minor. His family are Minors. One wants to be of the Majors.
‪#‎MAJORS‬ and MINORS. soon

The Minors have found their feet. The film of deceit has been wiped away. The Minors are not warriors. They demand equality. They demand what is theirs. Humble beginnings, sweat and toil of parents has enlightened them to the Truth. The Minors refuse to create, loot and share. Be ashamed if you are in the minority of the Majors. Why do you Majors rape this fragile old lady called Ghana? Have you no sense of shame? Do you have any conscience at all? The Minors will haul you before the law courts. Justice will prevail. Truth stands. Forever.

STAND UP GH! STAND UP GH!
