Kalypotic Malt 'n' Milk Independence Day-Crucifying The Sin Not The Sinner

Kalypotic Malt 'n' Milk Independence Day-Crucifying The Sin Not The Sinner

Prior to the 2016 general elections,Ghanaians were made to believe our economy was very sick and that life was terribly unbearable for the ordinary man.Infact,it is and was the case, and I can confirm that as well.Things were really difficult and the economy was on a reverse jear.And the NPP was right on spot there!

Indeed,it became a major campaign message for the then opposition New Patriotic Party;now the party in government.
The leader of the party now the president of the Republic at the time led the campaign called,"Kalypo Economy."(My own creation of the drama).

The leader craftily drunk Kalypo and this trickled down to the rank and file of the NPP.All members of the party were encouraged to drink as many Kalypo as they can...And they were just drinking.(You just need to remember the Nana Kalypo and Mahama Paper hit song by Shatta Wale).
The moderately priced juicy drink run short on the Ghanaian market at the time.And traders in the business really made a boom!

The message that accompanied the immoderate drinking of Kalypo was simple-thus,Ghana is hard and well meaning Ghanaians can no longer afford the usual star,malt,guinnes,coke,sprite,golder,stone,shandy.... (Where is ADONCO?..."boys abr3").

Perhaps it was a genuine concern and we Ghanaians understood and stood with the NPP.Their message therefrom resonated and sold very much.
They promised to reverse the situation when voted into power so we can go for our usual taste.(Me I go at worse,Shandi level).

The social contract was brokered.And His excellency Nana Addo was massively voted for.(Was it 53.8%? My comrades in NDC can help with this one).

Fast-farward in 2017, the NPP is holding onto the annals of power and controlling the public purse.To add sugar to meat,we have been handed a winsome heavens gate budget days ago.

The wonder however is not how Ghana is going to work again(or that Ghana is going to enjoy fee free education;a policy I don't believe in) but that School children after matching in the heavy and scorching sun are still being given same Kalypo baptised with the colonial Malt 'n' Milk Biscuit...It is or should be said that school children across the country celebrated kalypo malt "n " milk Diamond Jubilee-60 years of kalypo malt "n" milk economy.
The same calypo that committed no sin but we crucified it years ago to mean recently...huh!

Can that possibly be a confirmation of the "still hard Ghana even under the almighty NPP?"Jumping Judast!
Throw a ball to the wall and it surprise any doubting Thomas by bouncing back.

Criticising the sin, not the sinner.Still the village writter.(I will be back to complete the rest of the plot).
Ayekoo Ghana!Happy Diamond Jubilee so jubilate!
