Political leaders and party members from Ghana’s two major political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), came together to commemorate Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day in Nkroful, the hometown of the country’s first president. The event honored Nkrumah’s legacy, focusing on his vision for African unity and Ghana’s independence.

The celebration was heavily attended and featured various performances and traditional cultural activities, paying tribute to Ghana’s rich heritage. Among the notable performances was one by musician and radio DJ, Blakk Rasta. Known for his outspoken stance against corruption, Blakk Rasta has gained a reputation as a controversial figure in Ghanaian music and media. He currently hosts a radio show on [insert radio station details], where he often addresses political and social issues.

During the event, Blakk Rasta delivered a striking performance, which many interpreted as a direct critique of President Nana Akufo-Addo. Performing a cappella, he sang lyrics that seemed to accuse the president of dishonesty and hypocrisy. His lyrics included:

“Before election you tell me you be angel.
When you sick you run go London, when we sick oh we die for Korle Bu.
Mr. President, why you wicked so? Tell me how you sleep at night oh.
See dem ah come, they come in like an angel, but dem a thief, dem know seh dem a thief.
Mr. President, you come in like a savior, but you are thief, you know seh you are thief.”

The song’s powerful lyrics resonated with many in the crowd, reflecting the frustration and dissatisfaction among a growing number of Ghanaians. While some may view the performance as specifically targeting the president, the song follows his recent track, “THIEF PRESIDENT,” which similarly addresses issues of corruption within the government.

Blakk Rasta’s performance comes at a time of rising discontent in Ghana. Recent exposés, such as the controversial $58 million allocated for a national cathedral, have angered many citizens. Public figures, including comedian Michael Blackson, have voiced their disapproval, accusing the government of misusing public funds. Coupled with ongoing protests, these sentiments signal growing unrest and declining public support for the NPP government under Nana Akufo-Addo’s leadership.

As the government faces increasing criticism and opposition, it is becoming very clear to the world that the Ghanaian government is not a face of democracy, but instead a culprit of neo colonialism and extreme corruption.
