Ghana did not learn…..

15th century ago, the British established a colony, Gold Coast in 1874 and what followed is simply too unbearably to explained. The activities of the slave trade and colonization saw most or all our prominent chiefs exported to the unknown, well the rest is history. God was never asleep and so he sent our Mosses Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah and his buddies who liberated the Gold Coast and achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1957, becoming the first Sub-Saharan African nation to do so. The name Ghana was chosen for the new nation to reflect the ancient Empire of Ghana which once extended throughout much of Western Africa.

Now, I would like to think that Ghana is a sovereign nation still having in mind the experience and the knowledge of our unbearable over 200 years old history. And if I am not getting too ahead of myself, I would still like to hope that our leaders are not too damn, selfish and short sighted to once again act too kind and give a piece of land for the USA to settle on along with all the nuclear bomb, missiles, aids virus and God only knows what, and all in the name of military base. For goodness sake, why is a country such as Ghana who pride itself of being neutral, peaceful and God fearing give thought or even contemplate such a suicidal attempt? I can give a million reasons why the idea of setting a military base in Ghana by USA is simply disastrous and simply putting the unborn generation into neo-colonial rule.

If America goes to war with China or Russian and strikes any one of this country from their base in Ghana, where does President Mills in his professorial mind thinks that China or Russia would retaliate to? New York or Ghana? There are so many scenarios that a person who have not got a master degree or be a scientist or be glibly facile to create in order to draw the clever conclusion that the idea of a military base is stupid. The people of Ghana must not let such thing happen and no amount of money can be acceptable in selling our land and the unborn generation into another clearly foreseeable future of terror under the powerful weapons and missiles of the USA army not forgetting the environmental pollution it would create. Please, in the name of God and for our ancestors who fought and laid down their life to give our land back to us, don’t allow USA military base, China, Russia UK, Aliens from another planet we are yet to discover military base in Ghana. God bless our souls.
