Open Letter to Alfred Oko Vanderpuije
Dear Uncle Rozay, If there is one man I like in Accra, it is you. It is people like you who give some of us hope that our future will be bright and Patience being a Virtue has got nothing to do with traits Efo’s daughters who bear the names Patience and Virtue have. One would have thought your close resemblance to Rick Ross was a mere coincidence but alas, you political punch lines could earn you the Grammy Awards to be held in Dzelukope. I had wanted to write this letter to you earlier on when you goofed on Joy Fm, on the issues of the market fires but then you cousin’s utterances beat you to it. Sad as I was when I realized I needed to address your cousin first, I knew deep within that a day will come when your actions and inactions will let me write you a letter. The elders say the Chameleon will never act as a lizard and you are a true living testament of this saying. So as I write you this letter, I pray you feel the same excitement I’m feeling right now ...
