Being a president is one thing I
imagine for myself in those crazy moments after watching some fantastic 'presidential'
films. Watching such films/series, I would just imagine the amount of authority
I would have at my disposal by the snap of a finger; not forgetting the amount
of presidential visits to other countries, the holidays, the admirers, the
number of ladies (hmm..), and the money to spend. You may think I am sounding
'silly', but the fact is what we ignore each passing day as we look at the
various men and women in authority that we claim to be our role models or
mentors. Being a president is my dream and desire, but the question is short
and simple: 'IF GIVEN OR GRANTED THAT
HEART DESIRE OR DREAM, WHAT ARE MY INTENTIONS?'
We may surely have dreams and heart
desires as we look up to these influential men and women in society as our role
models or mentors; but, ' WHAT ARE OUR
INTENTIONS?' I sincerely stated mine when I began to write; and that you
found so annoying and insulting (yet, it is the 'TRUTH' staring at us in the
face). We have complained for decades past about the kind of leaders governing
Africans - many call them DISHONEST, LIARS and CORRUPT. Let us be sincere, 'what would you have done in their
positions?' (Be the opposite?...Oh please! A lion never births a monkey). We
are never wrong to dream or desire a position, we are wrong when our individual
'INTENTIONS' for that particular position are wrong. Some want to be doctors,
nurses, lawyers, filmmakers etc; but, 'What are their intentions towards that
position?' To help build Mother Ghana or corrupt it like the many others in
position today?
I will therefore continue to wish and
dream about the flagstaff house, not because of the many women, the money, the
flights or properties; but, because I believe in my God-given ability to serve
and leave a lasting legacy like DR. KWAME NKRUMAH for GHANA.
God bless my homeland Ghana.
Sincerely,
MR. PRESIDENT
