Ghanaians be like, the Constitution guarantees bla bla bla. And we are democracy ɛdiɛbɛndiɛbɛn.

Then Domelovo happens. Talk for a few days, and move on. Then SALL happens; then 36 million Ghanaians can't even say this is where we draw the line.

Then . And it's only 8 families mourning their dead alone.

Then the President says I won't hand over power to the main opposition candidate. Radio silence. Not even Peace Council who have no utility but to pop up once a while, receive some donor money and make “we want peace during elections” noise said a word.

At this point, I really want the Government to massively rig the elections. I want them to use military power as they plan to, to brutalize you people.

And let's see what majority of Ghanaians will do.

I will bet my last ; they will stay home and cook ɛwo kple and abobi taadi. And ask, but why is not doing anything.
