The Case for the Demolition of Drums

Must State and corporate official events always be laced with trombo-trumpet tooting and brain-busting drumming even during office hours? Is it cultural to fritter away your waking hours with frivolous fun and to dim-wit distract others who want to do something else?

  1. even more annoying are the early morning religious rituals, or the evening and midnight church chanting that wont leave you alone with your thoughts or let you sleep peacefully! Accra, generates enough daytime noise, what's another celebratory drum-chaos?!

    If we grew out of it, we'll actually take a couple of steps towards development. Another thing that really gets my goat is the sight the whole governments machinery gathering at the airport to welcome a gallivanting prez. Been done since Nkrumah. Why?

    Slippery slope this, what with about the added clubbing and churching at all odd hours?

    Restricting freedoms is never clear-cut. My solution, if you can't beat them, join them. Learn to 'enjoin' the celebration.
