The Metha’s Intellectual Crisis: Meet the Pagans.

The most significant part of the Metha’s Intellectual Crisis in Africa, and in particular Ghana, is that before he could understand the world around him, he discovered and learned new things in the pagan English Language. This is detrimental to his mental faculties.

For instance, every child grew up experimenting and understanding how things fell to the ground. In Ga/Ge/Gen, this is called Shigbee (Falling). However, the Metha-to-be goes to one of our local colonial missionary schools from kindergarten, and by the time he reaches Secondary School, he comes home speaking fondly about Gravity (Falling). He has forgotten that he discovered and learned about Shigbee (Falling) as a baby. But, he now believes that the first time he learned about the phenomenon (Falling) was in Secondary School.

In Secondary School, the Metha-to-be, is no longer a baby, yet mentally, he’s still a baby, learning and discovering things (in pagan English) that he had already learned about when he was but just a baby. The Metha’s – the more educated than his Ancestors’ – mental faculties are all warped, degraded and turned on its head in colonial missionary school.

Those who learn how to read and write Ga/Dagbani/Ewe/Fanti before they learned to read the pagan English are half-affected by the mental degradation in colonial missionary school. More, the intellectually superior children who are unable to accept the colonial mental degradation in school, often begin to perform poorly on the babyfication examinations in the colonial schools.

What you get in the higher learning quarters of Ghana, is a bunch of babyfied idiots gallivanting the vast terrain of a pagan, colonial missionary, educational institution, looking for only one way out: to Meet the Pagans.

To meet the pagans is everything: And so the idea of a scholarship to Europe, to the USA, to Canada and to Australia, is the height of achievement for the Metha. And so what we get in Ghana, is a bunch of babyfied pagans leading our traditions, cultures and lands into the bottomless abyss of Babyfied Paganism.

~ Success is a horrible teacher. It seduces the ignorant into thinking that he can’t lose. It seduces the intellectual into thinking that he must win. Success corrupts; Only usefulness exalts. ~ WP. Narmer Amenuti (which names translate: Dances With Lions), was born by The River, deep within the heartlands of Ghana, in Ntoaboma. He is a public intellectual from the Sankoré School of Critical Theory, where he trained and was awarded the highest degree of Warrior Philosopher at the Temple of Narmer. As a Culture Critic and a Guan Rhythmmaker, he is a dilettante, a dissident and a gadfly, and he eschews promotional intellectualism. He maintains strict anonymity and invites intellectuals and lay people alike to honest debate. He reads every comment.

  1. The English language is definitely holding our true intellectuals back and erecting false leaders. No person holding a community college graduate from a foreign nation would rise to the presidency anywhere else. That isn’t a sign of anything but idiocy, to think that your best leaders are not homegrown is babyfied logic.
