Letter to Senior Opupulepu (202); Historic Bye-Bye to Ohemaa Lizzy

Dear Senior Opupulepu,

How are you do? I hope you are do well, well. As for me and mine, we are all do well, well also.

Senior, you remember your day-nursery school days, when you excitingly joined your mates, and recited this nursery rhyme: “Puti-tat, puti-tat, where had you go? I has been to Long-don, to see the Twin…Puti-tat, puti-tat, what did you done? I am fright a pickin mouse relaxing under her chair.”

Senior, it was then that we, Ogyakromians got to know that the ekraas in kwakwe or as in mouse, that we do not respect here in Ogyakrom, has got first cousins, who are very wealthy and living good in the Land of the Long Noses, that they could purchase the Queen’s royal stool to make it a canopy over their garden chairs.

Senior, we were told that Ohemaa Lizzy Alexi-Maria II, was called by Yahweh to take up duty as a day nursery teacher in His Kingdom. I heard that the way you sung that Putti-tat song, informed the Mind of Yahweh that Ohemaa Lizzy can bea good day nursery teacher.

Senior, when all the amanhene of all the villages in ewiase were invited, our one and only Nana Owubiayeowuo, the Great Leopard was counted in the number and he went in such pomp and pageantry with his beautiful Sweetie-Sweetie Muah-Muah, Oheneyire Becca, whose fairness and brightness lit the path they plied on.

Please I am not saying our Omanhene is dark black, yoooo. If you go and say this somewhere, you are on your own. I will plead this letter is cut-and-paste.

Senior, while some of us, saw Nana and his sweet Becca, entering and sitting in the church auditorium, some good-for-nothing Ogyakromian, are going about, swearing that they could not locate the google location of Nana in the auditorium.

Senior, if they did not see him, they should have looked for that bright light which is Oheneyire Becca and there they would have seen our Omanhene. In fact, many believed that these village wreckers who have not seen a flat screen television before, were only looking at the beauty of the television instead of the screen.

Senior, hmmmm, it seems Omanhene Chars-Kele, did not do Obibiman history and culture during his Free SHS days, because if he did, he would not have done what he did by saying all amanhene especially those from Abibiman, should board tro-tro to the funeral service.

Senior, I am not understand. First, he ordered that our sacred and most respected amanhene must not take iron doves but rather take iron vultures to enter the airspace of Ngleshie inside. The last time I checked, he was not the class prefect of the United Villages Association of Ewiase but was rather in charge of whales’ day-care centers. So, how come he could just give orders like he is a somebody?

Senior, if this is how Chars-Kele would do as omanhene then soon, he would be directing when we should take kooko for breakfast and kontonte for tea.

Senior, after making our amanhene sit uncomfortably on iron vultures, Omanhene Charlie did not end there. He ordered and it was ordered by him, that all our amanhene should sit in tro-tro from the alo-plane park to the guesthouses they were to lay their heads in, and not only that, they were made to move around only in tro-tro in the Ngleshie village’s capital hamlet called Long-Don-Grey.

Senior, our amanhene are gods to us and we handle them with respect and care. When they travel, they sit on iron donkeys where they can spread their legs and arms freely without entering their next-door neighbour nose-space.

When they fly, they fly in iron doves and can freely do anything without interfering the next-door neighbour’s privacy.

Senior, as things are now, with that unnecessary pressure put on them, most of our amanhene will soon fall sick and since they are never treatedin our local herbalists and witch doctors’ kiosks, but fly to the Land of the Long-Noses to have serious ailments, like speck in one’s eyes, removed, I am sure Ohene Chars-Kele deliberately chose did this line, so that, all Abibimanhenes will soon and very soon go back to see the king.

Senior, and one thing I want to ask you, since know the history of worshipping in Yesu Christus Emmanuel’s churches. I noticed that during the church service to wave Ohemaa Lizzy bye-bye, there was not a single moment that the ushers went around with collection buckets to collect collection.

Senior, do the Yesu Christus’ followers in the Land of the Long-Noses and followers in Abibiman worship the same Lord, differently? The question is, since Christus worshipping came from the Long Noses, is it possible that collections are not supposed to be collected, but as you know, are local pastors have done their thing some again and imposed collecting collections during worships.

Senior, if it were here in Ogyakrom, like there would have been ninety-six collections during the service to mark Ohemaa Lizzy, birthdays on earth. And surely after that the pastors will start living bigger and go praising Spiritus Sanctus, for blessings duly received.

Senior, I am not supposed to judge our local men and women of God, so I am Dan, sorry I am Done.

It’s me!
