- Is
it not sarcastic how those who yesterday complained so bitterly of the then
politicians have successfully become the same ‘public purse- looting’ politicians
of today? Chop chop nkoaa!
- In
GH, doesn’t it beat one’s mind when we all cry for so much change yet complain so
bitterly at the least change effected by one government or another because we
prefer to do things the same old traditional way?
- Indeed
you get to know what sarcasm is when those who can talk loudest and make
‘plenty’ promises are regarded as ‘true, visionary politicians’ when others who
would tell the facts as they are, hence, make promises based on such, are
regarded otherwise.
- Is
it not sarcastic when the poor, ‘ordinary’ Ghanaian who’s supposed to be
served, pays for almost every service provided when the politicians who are
supposed to be ‘servants’ are instead exempted from quite a number of such? Law
of inverse proportion!
- Truly
it is sarcastic when the opposition party almost always seems to find something
wrong with everything the incumbent government does and vice versa!
- If
this is not sarcastic, then nothing else is- we lambast politicians at the
least opportunity yet… literally bow to them at every social gathering!
- Sarcasm
in GH is when a government worker works lackadaisically yet expects the
government to wave a magic wand to suddenly change the economy and pay him/her
as much as only Gods knows.
- What
is more sarcastic than a politician preaching ‘sacrifice’ yet would want to be
exempted when it comes to its practice!?
- Tell
me if this is not sarcastic. In church, everyone is urged to sow all their
earnings except he who preaches it- the pastor. Halleluiah!
- Sarcasm
is well defined in GH when one who speaks his/her local dialect very well but
the Queen’s language poorly is ridiculed when he who does otherwise is regarded
genius. The proverbial butterfly that wants to be a bird!
- You
know what it is like to be sarcastic when one insists on good reading habits
yet never reads manuals of their new gadgets or quickly flips over ‘terms of
agreement’ of any software. Boys abre!
- It
is sarcastically sarcastic when women, especially, would so much wish the
sermon ended so they could go home… even when they came to church late. And when
service has closed, too, they would sit down with their friends and converse
all afternoon. Girls kasa!
- Is
it not sarcastic how we’re taught little or nothing about money in school, yet
society wants us to be a master of it?
- Of
course, you get to know another definition of sarcasm when employees expect
young graduates to have close to a decade work experience when they (graduates)
never get employed until almost after a decade. A decade of inexperience!
- Is
it not sarcastic how some Ghanaian women would buy expensive Brazilian hair and
use them for only some months yet buy very cheap Chinese phones and desire to use
them forever? Maybe our women need Chinese hair!
