Asiedu Nketiah Faux Pas In Germany

If a man cannot differentiate between a lady's garment and that of a gentleman, he has no business making decisions for twenty five million Ghanaians.

First of all, what was Asiedu Nketiah, the General Secretary of National Democratic Congress(NDC) doing in Germany with the government delegation on "lalasulala" mission? Was he a template to show Angela Merkel and the people of Germany how nutritional deficient Ghanaians are and even prominent and powerful people have to sometimes wear their wives clothes to make ends meet, then it was mission accomplished. If not, then it was a total disgrace to Ghanaians to show the world our elite political cross dressers.

As a nation, we have many challenges and need our developmental partners to shore up our budget and padding government delegation abroad to fatten our per diems with people who have no roles to play in negotiations is becoming too familiar with this administration.

Asiedu Nketiah might have talked his way into Germany and his wardrobe malfunction which some people think is trivial and should be left alone is not trivial to me and a lot of Ghanaians. Didn't the government protocol people detect that Asiedu Nketiah was wearing women winter coat? I saw Hannah Tetteh and Akua Densuah, the Ghana Ambassador to Germany standing next to SEIKWA SCHOLAR and blabber mouth MR KNOW IT ALL ASIEDU NKETIAH and none of these women saw that the Seikwa Palm Wine Tapper masquerading as the wisest Ghanaian had a woman's cloth on?

The German leader, Angela Merkel immediately recognized it and that was why she was whispering to President Mahama with the question; Did you see that Asiedu Nketiah is wearing a woman's winter coat? President Mahama responded that he knew because he conspired with Lordina Mahama to put that villager from Seikwa in that coat for campaigning for Kwabena Agyei and Boateng Gyan in the just ended Ndc congress against his preferred candidates.

This wardrobe malfunction by General Mosquito to the whole world has opened Ghanaians to ridicule. A friend of mine saw the picture and asked me if we know the difference between women coats and that of men. As a matter of fact, Akua Densua, who seems to be of the same height as Asiedu with the same body frame should have looked better in that brown winter coat with fur collar that Asiedu had on and Asiedu's faux pas wouldn't have been that egregious with the dark coat Akua Densuah was wearing. He and Akua should have exchanged coats.

Where was Mrs General Mosquito? If she is still living in Canada, she needs to go back home and throw out all the women clothes in General Mosquito's closet to save Ghana this embarrassment again, until then, Asiedu Nketiah should be sent to his room until he learned how to dress properly.
