Same script,different presidents

Same scripts read by different presidents. They tell us what our problems are and admit their faults, what they want to do and you hear the cheers and boos and bam that is the state of the nation's address.

Pragmatic solutions don't really form part of the address. Mark it on the wall if the president gets to stay in power and gets the opportunity to do this again it won't be any different.

The true state of Ghana is that we have been taken for a ride too long by the politicians but suddenly we are waking up and asking for more.

I can't be impressed because the president can express himself so he was able to string words together. That would mean am a stack illiterate hearing good English for the first time.

As for the MPs who sat there and say yah yah to promises like free laptops, they should bow their heads in shame and imagine themselves in the US house of senates and Obama telling them that and see how disgraceful that will sound. That laptop dash was indeed not a necessary part of the state of the nation's address but I guess we have a populist President so it felt good telling us all that. That to me was like telling us he will buy free panties for the Lordina.

Who needs to hear all that?

Oya let's go and work.
