Comedian/musician A-Plus has gotten on the bad side of a lot of Ghanaians on Facebook, but that’s expected if you stand for anything in Ghana.
His political allegiance to the NPP and social media activities have placed him as a target of some group people–and yesterday, his absurd comments about Ewes seems to have placed him in the hands of his online “enemies.”
He has since his comments received a lot of insults on Facebook and on GhanaCelebrities.Com from our readers–with many saying he’s a bigot.
His absence on Facebook has literally crippled him in the department of defence so his buddy, Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, the Founding Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com has come to his rescue–debunking the spreading conception that A-Plus is a bigot.
Chris-Vincent wrote on his Facebook page this morning:
“Sometimes I wonder if it’s our sense of reasoning that’s dysfunctional or we just like to be fools on the internet even when we have all the necessary tools to aid us to pretend to be smart.
Is A-Plus a bigot? No: he’s too smart to reside in that quarters, in my estimation.
Is he against all Ewes? That question should not even be asked as our mutual good friend and boss, Dr Anyah is a proud Ewe. I am sure A-Plus has a lot of Ewe friends too.
Is A-Plus against those ignorant social media trolls, Yes even if they are Ewes, Yes.
It was absolutely stupid for him to say Ewes envy Ashantis–because there’s no evidence for this and there was no way he could have established this supposed hovering hatred by just sitting in his bedroom.
Same way I reject the claim that God exists for lack of evidence and lack of reason, I also reject his claim on these grounds and condemn it.
It’s stupid for anyone to believe such a thing!
But his second claim that Ewes are misbehaving on his Facebook based on his users blocked evidence he gave is sound and if you are a reasonable man and an Ewe, that should not offend you.
Yesterday I posted a list of the people I have blocked and I am sure if I look at the names, a particular tribe name will be in the majority. Based on this, I can reasonably say this tribe’s people or at least those pretending to belong to that tribe are leading in the race of stupidity on my wall, since I block only people I deem stupid.
On my blocked list, it could be Ewes or Ashantis–I have not counted and I can’t be bothered. I can use my time in a better way by blocking more people than to seek to draw a pattern.
Look, only an acute mentally constipated person will really think that all Nigerians are 419 but that does not also mean, a lot of 419 Nigerians have not succeeded in giving the entire nation a label.
Facebook is not a tribal cult so if a bunch of people from one tribe somewhat manage to converge on the same illogical tenet and go about trolling on people’s walls, then if care is not taken, these people would create a label for their own people.
If I sincerely believed A-Plus was a bigot, I wouldn’t be his friend–I believe I am too enlightened to dwell in the midst of such maniacs…
What I know and believe is, he says a lot of nonsense and offensive things–which he’s entitled to, in fact, the quintessence of Free Speech is the right to be offensive, even if I don’t agree with them.
Remember, I believe only based on enough evidence, hence my non-belief in a celestial dictator and your belief in Him even without evidence.
Give me enough evidence that A-Plus is a bigot and I will BLOCK him, one touch.
