The Jihadists are at it again. Do not be mistaken, Abusuapanin. I do not refer to the likes of Abu Sayaf, Mohammed Atta, Mullah Mohammed Omar, Osama Bin Laden and Al-Zawari. Those are big boys who play big games with big and powerful nations. They are too powerful for a small and weak country like ours. Monkeys play by sizes so the Jihadists in this country are small boys compared to those earlier mentioned. But trust me, they too can be deadly when they want to. Perhaps you�ve forgotten but I�ve not. They were the ones who butchered their kith and kin in broad daylight at Agbogbloshie; brutalized and maimed their opponents at Akwatia and trained foot-soldiers to terrorize their political opponents. You know the Chief Jihadist in this country, don�t you? He contested the Akwatia Constituency seat two times and lost. He is currently a deputy minister of Information and is credited with the tale that one of the aircraft to be purchased by the government would be used in pursuing armed robbers. He claims to have an unquestionable character. But after declaring jihad on his compatriots and admitting publicly that he told staff of the Information Services Department (ISD) to embellish the truth in order to put the government in a positive light, one cannot but reject his claim. After issuing the infamous �when the government buys a sheep, tell the world that it is a cow or be sacked� �fatwa�, it is laughable that such a man still claims to have any integrity at all. But hey, this is a government of Jihadists, rapists and propagandists so anything is possible. Abusuapanin, what is your take on the latest secret tape recording? What do you think about the voice on the tape? Do you believe it was the voice of the Chief Jihadist? Or you think it is a case of giving a dog a bad name to hang it? Honestly, I don�t know what to believe. I do not trust the Chief Jihadist but I still want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But, now that the National Security has waded into the matter, I�m not sure if I can continue giving him that benefit. Do not ask me why because you know the reason. You know more than I do that anytime our prejudiced National Security wades into such matters, it is for one reason only- to throw dust into our eyes. The Muntaka pampers saga is a perfect example. As for the content of the tape, it is not surprising at all. What else would you expect from a bunch of liars who won power through unadulterated lies and propaganda? They know we cannot feel the �better Asomdwekrom� in our pockets. They also know we cannot see the 1.4 million jobs they created because the jobs are a figment of their own imagination. It is therefore not surprising that they have resorted to bribing journalists to embellish stories for them. It is their stock in trade. Have you seen where our indiscretion has landed us? With only a difference of 40,000 votes, we now have rapists parading as presidential aides. Is it not frightening? Did I hear you say you don�t know what I�m talking about? Here are a few clues that I�m sure would clear the fog lingering on your mind. The rapist in question once worked with a radio station in Nkrankrom. He lured a groundnut seller to a hotel in Kumasi where he used his conscienceless langa-langa to mesmerize the innocent girl. When the news leaked, he used cowries to silence the poor girl�s family. Indeed, what else do you expect from a poverty-stricken family when thousands of cowries are splashed before them? Obviously, they will forget about any rape saga and scramble for the cowries. But his employers, appalled by the disgraceful conduct, gave him the sack. He is now a presidential aide and also holds the enviable �Political Santa Claus of the Decade� title. His generosity is unrivalled by any in the country. Yes, he was the one who dipped his hands into the national kitty and bought Christmas hampers for his cohort and journalists sympathetic to the cause of his party. Even when he was a private citizen, he was able to forcefully unleash his libidinous pleasures on an innocent girl and go scot-free. Now that he is a presidential aide, I shudder to imagine how many innocent girls have fallen victim to his conscienceless langa-langa. Hm, Allah, save our innocent girls! The Jihadists, the rapists and the propagandists have their hands in the bowl of fufu so it is understandable if they do not complain of hunger. But, it is wrong for them to insinuate that those whose hands are not in the bowl are complaining out of mischief, and not because they are hungry. Certainly, that is an insult. The Chief Jihadist�s cup is now full and overflowing. The shameless politician that he is, expect him to lick his wounds and come back stronger and deadlier than before. As for the Chief Rapist, he should remember that a man�s foolishness lies at the source of his pleasure; and the best time to catch a fowl is when it is pecking corn. Keen eyes are watching!
