I'm not well and been advised by medics to rest while recuperating. But I can't seem to take my mind off a post just brought to my attention last night by Kofi Bentil. It's by the new journalist-turned-prophet in town, Manasseh Azure Awuni. It reads: �Mark today's date. Ghana Gas says first gas has hit the plant. This is for testing. Note when the first gas will reach Atuabo. Ask about the volume of gas that will be supplied when the processing plant is commissioned. Just take note. And let's follow this together.� I�m tempted to deal with this matter. But I�d rest and recover now. I�ll certainly get back to this and many more such posts in detail later. But briefly, l can�t help trying to understand what Manasseh has written. For example, what does he mean when he says, �Mark today's date. Ghana Gas says first gas has hit the plant. This is for testing. Note when the first gas will reach Atuabo.� Most discerning readers, listeners and watchers know now about JOY FM and Manasseh�s goofs on Ghana Gas despite their attempts to cover it with selectively dubious propaganda in the form of online stories. They even started another scheme yesterday morning to cover their first faux pax, leaning on their misunderstanding of the Energy Commission�s letter deliberately leaked to them. They reported that the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant won�t receive �First Gas� anytime soon. But my main worry about Prophet Manasseh�s post is that, like prophecies of some false prophets, his says nothing much. So Brother Manasseh, what exactly is your point? What relevance do we make of the questions you've raised when the answers to the issues you raised are in the public domain and well known to industry watchers? So Prophet Manasseh, please say what you want to say so that we can judge you by it morrow instead of keeping us all guessing what's on your mind? If you are so cocksure of your projections and predictions, state them now. Don�t wait and see something later and say this is what l foresaw. Those kind yeye prophecies no dey work give us oooh, abi. Indeed, it is said that a little knowledge is dangerous. And that is dangerous not to know something, know not that you know, but believe that you know. For example �First Gas� reached Atuabo (cited by Manasseh) yesterday.� And it is publicly known what period First Gas will hit Aboadze (even if that was what he intended to cite). At least, Tullow�s widely issued press statement, also published on myjoyonline and brought to my attention by Franklin Cudjoe suggests so clearly. So what is the Prophet seeking to prophesy on? I told Asempa FM off�air when they reached me in the noon yesterday on the JOY FM morning report that I was recuperating. That, though I feel compelled to react to the story, I�d hold my breath because the emptiness of Joy�s report would be exposed by the close of day (yesterday). By the evening, gas was indeed flowing at Atuabo. So please let Prophet Manasseh and his ilk know that �First Gas� is at Atuabo already. �Ghana Gas GPP at night. Gas is now flowing into it and plant is now in operation. God bless� was how my CEO, who texted to wish me speedy recovery, put it. Need l say more.. May HE be praised indeed!
