“God is going to send down angles to stop the terrorist attacks on Ghana. The angels would defend Ghana just like they came down to vote for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo—Owusu Bempah.”

OWUSU BEMPAH’S MYSTERIOUS GOD, ANGELS AND GHANAIAN POLITICS

Whether Owusu Bempah was speaking under the heavy influence of drugs or alcohol, or a combination of these two, is difficult to tell.

It is even more difficult to tell whether he spoke under the influence of what these latter-day hypocritical Pentecostals and charismatics call “anointing.”

Nevertheless, in the absence of any convincing interpretation alternative beyond what we may deem fundamentally as the glaring “fact” of rhetorical signification pertaining to Owusu Bempah’s, as it were, we shall forever remain as grudgingly clueless as though his words were borne out of a mouthful conscience of figurative audacity.

For his avowed critics’ information, Owusu Bempah is indisputably a scheming fraud, a fake, a mountebank, but certainly not dumb.

A “street-smart” hawker of religious-spiritual wares among other characterizations, the well-known sociopath Owusu Bempah is wide-awake and in full control of his untamed faculties behind which is hidden his frosted glass of political theology and opportunism.

Gradually the divisive cacophony of political theology seems to be usurping the space exclusively reserved for commonsense “democracy,” which is actually not the case we have been witnessing in Ghana at the dawn of the Fourth Republic with the feral likes of Owusu Bempah and their shenanigans running helter-skelter across the political landscape.

Why will angels be involved in elections that is rigged in one way or another in favor of one political party, given that which party is in power has found a way to rig elections in order to hold onto to power?

On which side have the angels and Owusu Bempah’s God been in the equation of Ghana’s elective democracy?

On the side of the incumbent party which seeks to steal elections in order to hold onto power or the opposition which seeks to steal elections in order to get the incumbent party out of the way?

Perhaps these voting angels are the missing links between Ghana’s alleged bloated voter’s register and the Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) just across from the border, Togo.

Obviously these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God were not sleeping during the 2008 and 2012 general elections when Akufo-Addo lost.

Ghana’s corrupt and criminal democracy does not deserve the attention-seeking melodramatic acts from scheming fakes, such as Owusu Bempah, as well as from any demonic angels inhabiting his prosthetic head, psychotic visions and dreams.

Drugs meant for innocent men and women and children are stolen on a daily basis and yet these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God do absolutely nothing about it.

Counterfeit drugs from China and India flood the Ghanaian market, yet these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God do absolutely nothing about this underground market in fake drugs.

Cholera takes away precious lives and yet these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God do absolutely nothing about it.

Open defecation is everywhere and yet these angels and Owusu Bempah’s Good only appear to enjoy the repulsive stench emanating from it, the open defecation.

For nearly four years the national economy faltered, somersaulted, and almost died, yet these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God showed no interest in its revival until Akufo-Addo decided to run for the presidency.

Institutional corruption went haywire and yet these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God could not care less.

Children have been studying under trees…

Trokosi girls deserve absolute freedom from their ritual servitude but…

Educational standards falling…

Arson almost everywhere in the wake of the 2012 general elections…

Corruption everywhere…in Akufo-Addo’s Attorney General’s Office, his Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his Ministry of Justice, and Kufuor’s and Mahama’s Flagstaff House, Parliament and Judiciary…

Kalabule everywhere…

Superstition, ignorance, and churches mushrooming everywhere…

Insults and pornography and open prostitution on radio and television…

Armed robbery everywhere…

Unmotorable networks of roads everywhere…

Dirt everywhere…

Social and moral decay everywhere…

Poor or bad public services everywhere…

Dumsor killed people, almost bankrupted the country, collapsed businesses, created graveyards of unemployed youth…

The Ghanaian church has become “a den of thieves…”

Evangelical robbers, thieves and rapists…Political robbers, thieves and rapists…

And so and so forth.

And all these detrimental social realities have to wait for Akufo-Addo to appear on the political scene before we hope for or even seek their resolution?

What a country of jokers? What a country of dubious, diabolical soothsayers? What were these angels and Owusu Bempah’s God waiting for all this while?

Yet, not to be outdone, Owusu Bempah comes up with another bold-faced lie, a dangerous, divisive canard:

“When I was in heaven, the angel took me to a location where they opened a curtain, I saw late President Mills alone in a room crying. Then the angel told me that he was not in that palace but God allowed them to bring him there at the time so he could teach me something which was that he never died a natural death…

“They have provided him with a bowl into which his tears fall anytime he cries. The reason is that they were preventing the tears from falling unto the land because that could cause chaos in Ghana. Ghana would have become a land of desolation. It’s an innocent blood which has been sacrificed because of position…

“The angel opened another curtain, there I saw President Mahama with chains around his neck, waist and legs as well. The chains have been tied to a huge stone. He was sweating and crying profusely as well with a red scarlet tied around his waist as well…”

OUR TAKE

Late President Mills cried but not Ghanaian children who study under trees every day, not helpless mothers who have to sleep on concrete hospital floors while giving birth, not trokosi girls in need of absolute freedom, not the poor and underperforming national economy, not the child street-hawker who is constantly exposed to the elements, not the poor masses…

Then President Mahama in chains but not Ghanaian children who study under trees every day, not helpless mothers who have to sleep on concrete hospital floors while giving birth, not trokosi girls in need of absolute freedom, not the child street-hawker who is constantly exposed to the elements, not the poor masses…

Where is the corroborating evidence from Mensa Otabil, Bishop Obinim, Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, T.B. Joshua, Rev. Eastwood Anaba, and Bishop Charles Agyinasare, that a deity somewhere did indeed make heaven, angels, and Mills accessible to Owusu Bempah?

And where is the corroborating evidence from Kweku Bonsam?

Akufo-Addo cannot save Ghana and Ghanaians for that matter. In other words, Akufo-Addo is not Ghana’s hoped-for savior.

Thus, Ghanaians must accept their choices whatever they are and begin to see themselves as their own saviors, given that Akufo-Addo has already done his bit for the country, for his family, and for his friends.

Ghanaians have to do the rest for themselves by among other things, ignoring the likes of Owusu Bempah and their methodological shenanigans!

We shall return with the concluding segment (Part 2).
