How do you un-teach the colonial id? Teachers, teachers,
teachers! Enter King Kwame Nkrumah.
Green graduates from lucent Legon are civically coaxed to desert
collective-clan desires; no present need for all those bankers and lawyers and
accountants. Go and teach! I will pay you better than them, anyway.
The rest is anti-heroic history. Nkrumah waned. Coming kings
re-colonised and paid serf-rates to our educators.
Ghana. Present day.
Beware, all those people whose heads are sailing slick in
oil-and-gas dreams. You may be the new teachers.
Methinks this is your most powerful post ever.
