Mr. Slim

I, Joshua Boye-Doe, will not be bothered one bit if you’re angry over a tweet I’ve made simply because you decided to interpret it however you wanted. If I make a tweet asking people who INVEST in real estate and other businesses and ventures to start exploring opportunities in government-citizen partnerships, and you’re angry because you believe you pay taxes and that your taxes should be enough to fund these projects, then I will not lose my head over that tweet. I was very careful with the words I used in the tweet. “Instead of investing” is the keyword. If I made a tweet saying, “Chale, we should contribute and finish the Agenda 111 hospitals,” and you got mad, I believe you would have every right to, especially as a tax-paying citizen. But if I made a tweet targeted at a specific group (private investors) and you’re mad about it, then I really don’t care, tbh. It’s a different conversation if you’re angry because you believe funds are not being properly allocated to areas you consider necessary. But if you bring up the tax argument just to get angry, that’s on you, tbh. I know plenty of people in Accra who spend thousands of dollars buying apartments to flip or use as Airbnbs. If I suggest that they should also explore other investment opportunities and you’re angry because you’re a tax-paying citizen, that’s on you o. “What happened to my taxes? I pay taxes! That’s why I pay taxes!” Yes, you pay taxes, and you have every right to demand a better healthcare system, proper health infrastructure, and accountability from the government. But from where to where? Because I’m not understanding. “Oh chale, me and my boys, we dey raise $15 million. We dey come build some apartments for West Legon.” And I say, “Oh chale, the apartments and things come plenty. Try investing in healthcare too, like completing the Agenda 111 hospitals.” How did this become an issue? On these same Twitter streets, we’ve seen people make tweets like, “Chale, the apartments plenty! You people for build parks and things.” So how is my suggestion so far-fetched? Or is it because this time, it’s about hospitals? Then let me rephrase the tweet: “Instead of investing in expensive apartments, Airbnbs, restaurants, and salons all over Accra, why don’t you boys come together, collaborate with the Department of Parks and Gardens, and build parks and gardens across Accra where citizens can go for late-night walks and enjoy some fresh air?” Chale, the herd mentality on this app can be crazy too much. Hoh!
