The issue of the Judgment Day as we know from the Bible has occupied my minds recently. Fortunately or unfortunately, it was heightened yesterday when I got a call from one of my aunties to go out and look at the Sun. I did and what I saw sent shivers through me literally. It brought my mind back to the issue of the second-coming of Christ and how dreaded that day would be. Where would some of us find ourselves, heaven or hell? And where would some people go. Hmm.
My mind was set for another journey into vivid imagination. I started wondering how things would go when God finally arrives especially in relation to our Ghanaian situation. For some of us we know that certain people would do everything to ensure that our feet does not touch the Golden pavements of Heaven. All kinds of allegations would be made against us and all sorts of things would happen. But I leave my fate in the Lord.
First of all, knowing Ghanaians, I know some people would surely jump the queue and cause so much commotion. Some would lose their tempers at the sight of the abuse of the queue and hurl all sorts of dirty and unpronounceable insults at the people who jump the queues. Words like ‘wo maame’, ‘kwasia’, ‘opuro’ ‘ogyaen ’ etc. but this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Again, I know that every judgment would be greeted with loud bouts of cheers and jeers. People would jump up and down at the sound of certain people being sentenced to Hell and do same when others are sent to Heaven without bothering about their own fates.
I decided to try and make out how certain issues would play out in general and in relation to specific Professions and people. I start with Politics and Politicians
Knowing how politics define everything in Ghana, it should not be surprising to see certain people taking a back seat and trying to figure whether the people going to Heaven or Hell are NDC or NPP. Maybe some of us might even be tempted to do such a sorting to see whether there would be more NPP people in Heaven or more NDC people there.
Obviously, as we see in Ghana, not all the sorting would be done on a purely factual basis. Much of it would be based on stereotyping, assumptions and hear says. For example every person with an Akan sounding name would be classified as a pure born and bred NPP man being probably an Ashanti or Akyem. Names like Owusu, Asamoah, Adjei (including Kwabena Adjei), Nketiah etc. would all be classified as NPP people.
Again, all persons from a church like the E.P Church would be considered as unrepentant Ewes who always vote for the NDC and so on. Many Methodists for example with Akan sounding names would be classified as NPP men and women either going to heaven or hell.
Now the real problem would come when at the end of the judgment, people realize that there are more NPP people in heaven than NDC or vice-versa. But the real issues would arise when some notable personalities/ politicians are called to be judged.
Certain people I know would do all sorts of things including sending high powered delegations to God and forming Pressure groups to prevent Kufuor from going to Heaven. In fact people would go ahead and accuse Kufuor of bribing some angels and possibly God.
As for Rawlings, there would be huge demonstrations if he is admitted to Heaven. People would even declare that they cant stay with him in Heaven and would go to hell rather. On the other hand should Rawlings be delivered to Hell, it would be a scene to remember! Rawlings would not hesitate launching a series of characteristic venomous attacks on God and Heaven. He might even go ahead to accuse the Lord for many dangerous crimes that occurred in the world including the Serial Killing of women, Ya-Naa’s murder and the murder of Rokko Frimpong as well as the fire in his house.
I also think that it wouldn’t be hard seeing people who would boycott the judgment and choose to go to hell because their mentor Rawlings has been sent there.
Many believe that Prof. Mills is incorruptible, harmless and Godly, so it would be a shock to many on Judgment Day should Prof. Mills go to hell. Should this happen, there would be huge conspiracies bothering on his sentencing. Many would accuse UP elements of being behind Prof’s Hell judgment. They would accuse the NPP of seeking to destroy the man and of framing up lies about Prof. Mills to get him to hell. The only thing I cannot imagine is whether Prof. being a ‘Slow but sure Man’ would slowly go to hell or move there fast or if he would appeal or accept the ruling as it is because he is a ‘man of peace’!
Indeed, it would be very interesting. It would be so interesting when certain politicians who are known to be holier than the pope are sent to hell, am talking about the politicians who are so clean that other politicians can put their hands in fire for them. It would be interesting to see the activities of such people beamed on giant screens!
This brings me to another issue. The beaming of everyone’s life on Giant screen for every body to watch. I know the conventional taught that occupies the Sunday schools is that when the Lord comes, he would mount a huge Giant screen on which he would portray everyone’s life from birth to death after which he would give judgment on whether you should go to heaven or hell. If this would be so then’ people get problems waa’! Some of us would be hot that day, when people discover that we did certain things no one expected we could have done!
It would be so interesting and exciting to see some top people who bunking in cars in all styles thinkable. And let me say that this free show would know nothing like censoring or Parental Guidance! All of us would watch every thing feeli feeeli with our eyes! No editing whatsoever! We would see the Presidents who have small lanky University girls as lovers and who go on all sorts of rendezvous with them! We would see what Muntaka did to Bagbin’s girl (I mean the girl who worked in Bagbin’s office) while they were in Cote d’Ivoire and Germany. We would see with our naked eyes, how certain arrogant people at the Castle raped small girls.
Oh, it would be a delight! Finally, all of us would have the opportunity to know every single truth. We would find out if there exists John and Philip Kufuor (probably the most popular ‘so-called’ kids in Ghana around 05/06) and how they came into being if true. We would get to know if some Presidents ever climbed Trees after blowing some rolls of ‘Ntampi’/ wee/ Heavy/abodam and what it took to bring them back to the earth after the wee turned them into Captain planet. We would see who killed the three judges, Yaa Naa, Issah Mobila, the over 28 women in Accra and the Kume Preko victims.
I can go on and on but for me these things would best interest me. Maybe we can share what would interest us as individuals.
Back to the trial of the Politicians.
I believe that some politicians and people would go to Heaven not because they any good but because should they be sentenced to Hell they would waste everyone’s time by going to court after court and filing for injunction after injunction to ensure that the case is delayed, that is, if they have the chance to do so. Someone like Tsatsu Tsikata would ensure that he delays the Judgment of all of us just to ensure that he is made to go to heaven.
To be continued. Coming Up the fates of Journalists, Facebook Users, Pastors, Football Administrators, insurance Brokers, Lawyers etc.
