A few days ago, I had an ‘Atia’ moment with my classmates on our Whatsapp platform. One of my mates remarked wryly that I had so far not written a word about the power situation, especially since I now work at the Ministry of Energy.
A chorus of agreement followed on the platform.
The remark and the ensuing approvals reminded me of the story told of the legendary singer, A. B Crentsil, who once went to Bolgatanga to perform.
After several songs, his local fans reminded him that he had notably failed to perform his hit song ‘Atia’ (a parody of a fictional Bolgatanga native who relocated to Kumasi and died of excessive ‘akpeteshie’ consumption), and that whether he performed it or not, they would beat him anyway, so he might as well perform it.)
