COUNSELOR...WHO?

The jokes in Ghana must stop, and the earlier this is done the better, and safer a place Ghana shall be for us all to co-inhabit, among the remainder of peaceful communities left in the world today. It has been a while when I was resisting the temptation, the urge, of losing my composure but sometimes, it is best you instruct a way-ward child than be quiet and watch him fall off the edge of the world to the bottomless, when you know he lacks the sense to tread with caution.
The new era of "money and fame" spells nothing useful, to the future generations, but a bunch of headless clueless individuals competing for recognition and cheapest of popularity, in front of cameras, like a well-rounded behind of an unattractive male counterpart.

Let me be direct and blank, with this, before most people get lost to the main reason I have to lash out on whoever the fudge I choose this article to address; real quick, without much ado.
I would like somebody, who knows someone, who is a close relation to Mr George Lutterodt, to tell him to hush it, before he chooses a box he may never be able to make a pick from, the next time he thinks of going tribal, especially if he dare say anything as demeaning about the people of the Volta Region.
He may play the tomfoolery with and among  the people of his tribe and be applauded for an excellent display of misdemeanor and sheer ignorance, in front of all the cameras that are ready to give him the fangs and attention, but coming any inch closer to uttering anything foul about the people of the Volta Region, would spell doom for him and the entire generation of degenerates he is mentoring.
When I am high on morals, I get too poetic for the liking of the impatient audience dying to understand what I am trying to imply. Proverbs have it that a stubborn fly always ends up somewhere and I would like anyone, who has ever being in bed with common sense, to guess just where that place is.
Growing up among the elders as a young boy, as and whenever the elders discussed a particular topic, no matter how knowledgeable and well-informed you might have be about the subject, you have no moral right to interject and interrupt, even when your opinion was asked for. The people of the Volta Region, throughout history, have been known to be home with moral discipline, and its decency to the core, across generations that no cultured Ewe or Anlos speaks just any how. Before he or she does, common sense is well informed, thereby making sure that anything that proceeds carries something useful, and meaningful to whomever it is intended.
This is something I am saying just so the so-called marriage counselor, the "Ghana's controversial marriage counselor", Mr George Lutterodt, to learn from. He might as well fall back on the elders of his own clan, if there are some still alive who can counsel and school him on the history of the people of the Volta Region, before he thinks he knows just too much about everybody in Ghana, to make such remarks.
I was never at all offended though, no matter how he managed to gain that attention which lasted for a moment and was done with, right after the show, rather pity was and still is what I felt after reading and hearing people talked about it.
I was like, well, it is the order of the day, just for the mere fact that presently, not immediately, the dogma of religious denominations has prepared fertile grounds for the younger generation of recalcitrant to mount and spit on the graves of their forefathers, disrespecting the very morals with, and by, which this country was discovered, and the peace we enjoy today, without paying a dime for.
Quickly, the majority of Ghanaians suffer the Alzheimer's throughout this journey of life, for the simple fact that the very words of the National Pledge and Anthem mean nothing to us at all. Nothing we do today is reflected in those words of patriotism and respect for our predecessors, who fought and toiled with their all.
This prepares grounds, more so, for people in the likes of George Lutterodt to disrespect anybody they feel like, knowing too well, the cameras are readily available to publicize them.
I was not at all surprised when nobody from the Volta Region complained or was fazed about this moral indecency, though few were interviewed and opinions sought to the contrary. That just tells you that the obvious had rather been left "uncommunicated",  just so the child, with common sense, would learn to tread his paths cautiously, before he falls off the edge of life, into destruction beyond rescue.
The power of morals, to the morally-blind child, is that words left unspoken are the most dangerous and any kid who fails to listen to them, does so at his own peril.
Ghana has toed this line of the schools structural embodiment of education thereby bastardizing education itself in the process, whereby even the most ill-mannered, obtains legal clearances to practice absolute nonsense and get paid for a job well done. Ghana must not continue like this.
I may not know, on what grounds George Lutterodt said the things he blabbed about and why, but one thing I know for sure is that, perhaps, his own mother nearly got married to an Ewe man and found out how difficult it was for the Ewe men to get an erection. Or, his dad must have told him how he got married to his mom after countless sexual encounters of the mom with Ewe men failed. I say this with no malice, just plain and clean facts. Proverbs have it also that a chicken that likes to dig up a rubbish dump, surely discovers bones of its dead grandmother.
Without a doubt, Mr George Lutterodt is a happily married man, and with his claims of studying some forms of fetishes in some parts of the Volta Region, he might have been involved with some Ewe men in some of his "queerbacious bumfooleries", and found out about this sexual weakness in the Ewe men he was sexually involved with; maybe he spoke from this experience. I could never tell, seriously.
Maybe, his wife chose him over an Ewe man they, all three together, were in a love triangle with, sort of, because of this weakness, nobody can really tell because there is always something more to what little is said about everything, and if experience still is the best teacher, I would love to give our controversial marriage counselor the applause he deserves for a confession well made, to the attainment of his dream professional career.
To add, George Lutterodt, to become the counselor he disturbs the peace of Ghana with today, had a professor, who mentored and supervised his thesis, who must have confided in him about this weakness, provided that, the professor was himself an Ewe. Maybe, just maybe, in line of practicing, his clients must have all been Ewes to whom, he, Mr Lutterodt, must have used his wife as a live model, to strip and dangle in front of his clientèle, to make him have the moral grounds to draw this demeaning conclusions about the various tribes of the country.
One more instance, before I hang this, could be, that having a daughter ripe for ravishing already, he must have also given her out to the young and vibrant Ewe men, who have so far been unable to achieve anything significant in the sexual departments with her, to be able to come out with his grounds-breaking discovery in the history of his nice professorial career.
The moral of this story is that more people in Ghana here, George Lutterodt being chief, deserve to be taken through serious Behavioral and Attitudinal Change courses, and banned from public appearances until one is sure they would not make an ass of themselves, to prevent them from shaming the very ancestry of antiquity, and of whom they are descents.
Looking at the reality of things in Ghana today, culture, as derived from a careful study of history, we have lost our ways completely and need someone else to tell our own stories, nicer and detailed than we can ever be able to achieve, even with the entire eternity at our disposal.
For this reason, people like George Lutterodt, soon forgot the importance of an Ewe descent in the attainment of the liberty he flaunts today, by spitting on the very hand that picked him up and gave him an identity he ignorantly lost respect for, today when he made that statement.
Only history could clarify the above statement to whosoever is ready and willing to learn.
Before you speak, think!

Akpe.
