From Eric’s Diary: The Ga tendencies in Shirley Naa Ayorkor Botchwey

If that is the case, the need to know when, where and how to express anger would have been drummed home during lectures.

However, it seems to me that despite the fine profile aforementioned, the Ga in my sister does not allow her to be the diplomat’s diplomat that she is supposed to be.

Otherwise, why would a minister of cabinet status- Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, choose to go to a passport processing centre to shout her frustrations at supposed hangers around- ‘Goro Boys’, and staff of the Passport Office, when all that was needed was enhanced efficiency in the processing of passport.

It cannot be the case that it will continue, because it is affecting even our operations.

And Ghanaians are complaining that it takes long to get a passport and all of that.

I am asking humbly, Ghanaians, that please if you do not have need for a passport and because you cannot afford, please, humbly, I am asking you not to go for a passport,” she urged.

How does a master of public communication say this and hope that everyone will clap for her?

It cannot be the case that it will continue, because it is affecting even our operations.

Very soon, no matter how rich you become, you will need human beings apart from your children and relatives to help you get by.

Thus, after touring the globe and making all the money, if you decide to spend your last days on earth in Ghana, when you are old and feeble, some of the people that you shouted at, disrespected and treated as ‘nobodies’ will be needed to drive you around, serve as your househelps, offer you medical treatment etc.
