Dela Coffie; the asphyxiating political “MONGREL” 

Dear Dela Coffie , remember me?
Ah what a difference 3 years makes huh?

My hair’s longer, your party’s in opposition and you’re now speaking against the very person you condemned me to the brothel over.

Ah! What a life.

I won’t lie I’m gloating right now.

Focus Lydia, Focus.

Ok.
This is going to be a long one,because it’s been marinating for 3years.

But first a little background shall we?

About 3 years years ago, like many Ghanaians I was frustrated by the rampant power cuts, economy and many other issues in the country, and that frustration led me to write an open letter to the now ex- president John Mahama.

A letter many said was disrespectful and an insult to his leadership, and people agreed or disagreed depending on what side of the political divide they belonged to at that moment .

However I was confident in the president’s  communication skills and expected him to understand the intent of the letter.

For the NDC sympathizers who disagreed with my letter, they took it upon themselves to attack me on every available platform with Dela Coffie leading the pack.

Here’s his response to my letter;

Lydia, knowledge is divine, and so, instead of trying so hard to become a poster girl for crass and classless behaviour, read and expand your horizon and see clearly what’s happening with regards to the solutions being proffered to the energy challenges.

Need I tell you that no vigorous campaign of calumny can throw the president off balance?

I am not sure if this your frequent throwing of tantrums is a menopausal irritability or a midlife issue. Whatever it is, I am sure President Mahama is ready to take an advise on morality but certainly not from a brothel.

But before I proceed, Dela, your deliberate use of dictionary reaching words is not lost on me, I see you.

But bro, putting a bunch of big words together doesn’t constitute an intelligent piece.

The Boy is a Fool.

The Boy is Ignoramus.

They all mean the same thing.

So your choice of words don’t change the fact that you often blow “Chwum” ( please refer to pidgin dictionary for meaning)

Also, what’s your obsession with Whores, Menopause, Poster Girl for Crass,Mid life Crises and the many repetitive adjectives you use to describe any woman you disagree with.

Compare his letter to me from this excerpt of his letter to Dr. Valarie Sawyer below;

Valerie, you can choose to be the poster girl for crass behaviour. You can even choose to be whorish for all I care but next time you write a critical essay, make sure it is against gods with clay feet or you end up dancing naked in front of the intelligent public.

As a true party activist, I feel like chewing you up-and spitting you out- as you did to Rawlings. But then again, I sympathise with you largely on humanitarian grounds -the fact you are an old maid who might be having mid-life issues.

Is it possible to plagiarize oneself or this is just a case of ‘Passco‘. ( I guess we’ve all passco’d at some point, but your own di33 it’s like it’s all you have).
And I’m also very certain, like many misogynists before you, you believe using choice words like these to describe a woman makes you feel oh so powerful or think it diminishes her in a way.

But someone needs to tell you, your adjectives don’t change a person’s acheivements or who they are, they just EXPOSE your own INADEQUACIES; the dry,lifeless,hanging harmattan scrotum in need of a support you actually are. Cue “Joy Daddy music”.

But this post isn’t entirely about you, you’re just a part of a much bigger problem; so I’m hanging up my petty boots on this one.

Before I proceed, however, it’s important to note that my piece has NOTHING to do with the ongoing conflict within the NDC, that’s of NO interest to me and I don’t know enough to even have an opinion it either.

So please leave me out of it.

It’s entirely about the Dela Coffies in our political system and the many other chameleons like him who possess the unique ability to morph into whatever they attach themselves to.

They’re the real danger to our country’s development.

They’re so full of personal ambition and are willing to do just about anything to achieve these goals.

And a lot of our politicians take advantage of their  ambition and use them as pawns in their political games.

This is why I didn’t immediately respond to his verbal attacks on me years ago; I understood his desperation.

Truth is I knew one day he’d expose himself, because that’s just how predictable people like him are.

If you give a person enough rope they’ll hang themselves

So Dela, you’re choking.

Your party’s in opposition and your survival instincts are kicking in I see.

Suddenly we’re supposed to believe in your “objectivity”? 

We’re supposed to believe you have the country’s interest at heart?

We’re supposed to believe you “respect” others opinions?

we have been taught in saner climes to respect opinions of persons on the other swing of subject matters.- Dela Coffie

Where was this Dela Coffie three years ago, last year or even election season?

Oh I know, you were surviving then too right?

And your survival then meant ensuring your party stayed in power.

It meant rigorously supporting and campaigning for a man who you now claim shouldn’t stand for president in 2020. Read (here)

A man who you say caused your parties loss, no wait ; actually loose mouths like yours contributed largely to it too, but I doubt you’re willing to admit that whores and menopausal women have votes too.

Now I’m in no position to confirm your allegations against the former president and his team;  but surely you must understand how confusing your ever changing position is to all of us.

How do we believe a thing you have to say, when for several years you lashed out and bullied anyone with an opinion against  your government.

How do you explain the passion with which you campaigned for him?

So you were willing to allow the country suffer under a man who according to you made such terrible choices?

A man, you were, until recently,  kissing his  ass and ready to spread the cheeks and all but lick the sh** too.

Wow.

And we’re to TRUST you now?

But I don’t blame you, but our leaders for your likes, because we have a version of you in almost every major political party from NPP to CPP , PNC etc.

Didn’t the very people who supported me against Dela Coffie’s attacks turn around to do the same to me the minute they thought I was against them?

I’m sure if I ask people to point the Dela Coffies in every party, some names will be prominent.(humour me and name a few)

And they’re like a click of  friends too, who hang out at drinking spots, chase girls together, slap each other on their back for what politician’s  greedy pocket they’re  benefiting from and who to target next.

They start of as “yes sa massa” boys, who run errands and just “help” a big man out with one or two things.

Later they graduate to helping them out on much bigger things, and in some cases start to help them out in their areas of business.

Their services are paid for with transportation here and there, mobile phones, and money to “sort out” their own issues.

They usually have no real jobs, and their business ventures change depending on who they’re dealing with.

Soon enough they become the right hand man to these “big people”, and their wealth is dependent on the fortunes of these men.

They become the YES men and even women who like dogs are used to play a game of “fetch” for their masters, especially during campaign season.

They’re the ones who do all the dirty work, most especially online to help their parties maintain or win power.
What drives them is their own personal ambition which they try to pass off as national interest.

We saw many of them during our recent elections; how they defended the irrational, shamed people with opposing views and launched verbal attacks on anyone they felt was in their party’s way.

And they were left to it, even when their actions became unethical and sometimes dangerous, why? Because they served their purpose to their “masters” who were willing to overlook bad their behavior if it helped their intentions.

Didn’t Dela tag several prominent politicians in his post against me? Only a few within his party were bold enough to speak against him for it.

The rest, including women were very comfortable with his methods and egged him on.

But what politicians are yet to learn is that, like dogs, they’re only loyal to the one with the biggest bone, and that determines their narrative.
So Dela Coffie is the Poster Boy for dog nation.
His like is why it’s become almost impossible to have any tangible conversation about issues in this country and why we’re still several years behind our vision.

And the jokes on us the people, who have become equally blinded by our party affiliation that we don’t speak out against these people and others like him.

Our silence endorses their bad behavior, and it’s only when they turn around and bite us do we see the depth of their infection.

And rabies infected dogs don’t discriminate on who to bite, everyone’s a target especially their master.

I never thought I’d say this, but I have more respect for a consistent Hon. Ken Agyapong who’ll stand for what he believes in whether his party is in or out of power, than a Dela Coffie who ONLY seems to find his voice in opposition.

So Mr.Dela, keep your “faux objectivity” to yourself we don’t believe you for one second.

Sincerely,
The “brothel”, “Poster Girl for Crass”, “Menopausal” Girl you forgot had a VOTE that counted.
P.S : I also get my periods on the regular, you might want to add that next time, seeing that you’re obsessed with the femal reproductive system.

    Lydia Lydia, you’re the only celebrity who never changes my taste ! I love how you can play with words and still make so so much sense ! Go high gurl!

  • Kojo Afrifa

    Hahaha! Ei Lydia, wo w) h) ooh. Anyway, more grease to ur elbows but don’t let it soil ur cloths.

  • Manny

    I take offense to your continued comparison of some people to dogs. Dogs are very loyal and best friends to many.
    Do not malign dogs!

      • Umar M Bawa

        Absolutely! Rabies infected dogs are non-discriminatory…Lydia, please don’t haste in response next time you make a post! Allow a few days to pass and if you don’t see comments of rebuttal to your opponents by some of us, then you may chip in…lol.

  • kwame

    i love this one..its very interesting how he repeats those particular words…even after several years…anyway its a nice piece and quite succinct.wish i could write like that

  • Yem

    Well written. You are my girl. These politicians are just something else. You are indeed a great writer!

  • Yoofi

    What a wow! You really waited with baited breath to appropriately pay him in his own coin, and to keep the change willy-nilly. Good spot of writing as always.

  • Nana

    It’s amazing how people would do anything to benefit themselves only. I love your articles Lydia. Thumbs up!

  • Joyceln

    Excellent post
    I dare say he should learn such fine writing from you instead of wasting his time being a full time misogynist

  • Shary-han

    I absolutely enjoyed this. Way too much. Wait, that’s not a crime, Is it?

    Beautifully presented.

  • Cojo Tee

    Ghana is becoming too dangerous with waywardness. When people stand up, the political elites try to suppress them. This ain’t right. Kudos Lydia. I wish every woman can speak as loud as you do. This is the tenets of democracy. Please do not shut people down!

  • Antoinette Abbah

    I have love this piece. You said it all girl. I love your diction and everything.

  • Selorm

    Awesome awesome awesome piece of write up. Thumbs up Lydia. We’ve got to be bold and call a spade a spade and not a big spoon.

  • Patrick

    I just read it for the second time. I wish it was chapter one of a full book. But on a serious note many of us are like Dela Coffie. How I wish they were “used sanitary pad” to be thrown into the garbage bin.

  • Mr. Mohammed

    My first confession in this comment is that I am NDC. So let no one make it a later “revelation” to spite my opinion on Dela Coffie.

    Dela Coffie, umemployed, and a “dog” (I charitably quote my dog) as you rightly put, Lydia, is available for anyone who can make his online life possible- first, small money for “chop chop”, second some internet bundle, and third, a little semblance of proximity to power.

    Through the third, Dela Coffie added a fourth- fraud- “I work at the Flagstaff House (note I said he is unemployed) so I can help you clear your goods at the ports at no charge, just get me something small”…”I can help you get auction cars cheap…just give me 20,000…. Oh bring the list, I will get them recruited to National Security, just add 5000gh per head …” on and on and on.

    Listing the thievery, fraud and lies of Dela Coffie, will make me sound like an auctioneer announcing the sale and total outsourcing of our national CID Fraud files into Dela Coffie’s care, but the unsuspecting public deserve the truth, even if it is irrelevant to the present subject.

    Lydia Forson, like you, I don’t blame Dela Coffie; I blame the system that produced him- if Dela Coffie were what makes politics of principles worthwhile, we’d stop eating Guinea Fowl khebab to eating Chameleons instead, and retreat behind our collective stomachs, where when we belch loud enough, a bell tolls for a shamed mercenary activist Dela Coffie who we finally got tired of ignoring.

    Should we take any advice from Dela Coffie? Maybe we

  • Nanayaw Owusu

    I just read the lengthy piece…Awesome!!
    I am not afraid to pronounce my admiration for your write ups, Lydia.
    But allow me to also openly mention on my admiration for you. ‘Some crushing on you’ someway bi… but you cant blame me, I am a Sapio, so I guess its normal.

  • Kwesi M.

    My first confession in this comment is that I am NDC. Dela Coffie is a comrade.

    Let me then say, that I am ashamed on Dela Coffie’s behalf, about what he said to you. Some day when his mind comes home, I will pass the shame to him.

    But you need to know Dela Coffie proper, before you can take a shame on his behalf.

    Dela Coffie, unemployed, and a “dog” (I charitably quote my dog) as you rightly put, Lydia, is available for anyone who can make his online life possible: first, small money for “chop chop”; second, some internet bundle, and third, a little semblance of proximity to power.

    Through the third, Dela Coffie added a fourth- fraud- “I work at the Flagstaff House (note I said he is unemployed) so I can help you clear your goods at the ports at no charge, just get me something small”…”I can help you get auction cars cheap…just give me 20,000…. Oh bring the list, I will get them recruited to National Security, just add 5000gh per head …” on and on and on.

    Listing the thievery, fraud and lies of Dela Coffie, will make me sound like an auctioneer announcing the sale and total outsourcing of our national CID Fraud files into Dela Coffie’s care, but the unsuspecting public deserve the truth, even if it is irrelevant to his social media buffoonery… chai! I used a big word too.. let me pause and collect my fans…✌✌✌✌✌✌✌😎😎😎😎😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

    Lydia Forson, like you, I don’t blame Dela Coffie; I blame the system that produced him- if Dela Coffie were what makes politics of principles worthwhile, we’d stop eating Guinea Fowl khebab to eating Chameleons instead, and retreat behind our collective stomachs, where when we belch loud enough, a bell tolls for a shamed mercenary activist who we finally got tired of ignoring.

    Should we take any advice from Dela Coffie? Maybe we should. Maybe we shouldn’t.

    Maybe his life itself should be the advice…may be..just maybe…

    But we are sorry for inflicting one Dela Coffie on Ghana Politics.

    Let the rest apologize for theirs…

    • Lydia Forson

      Collect your fans ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾.

      But you’re right, there’s a lot to learn from Dela Coffie and his like and that’s essentially what this post is about.

  • Richard Nanayaw Owusu

    Awesome write up…

    Kindly accept my invitation via LinkedIn..I will say more after.

  • Sof Nalung

    You write with candore. I like Dela’s style of writing. But I like yours thousand times more. I like to be your friend. Forever.

    • Lydia Forson

      Thank you; but sometimes the unnecessary attention isn’t worth it. I know that’s strange coming from someone who’s supposed to be “an attention” seeker. Lol

  • Emir

    Miss Forson, it actually made more sense when u were objective and more direct with venting your displeasure at his behavior some years back….but clearly, your detest for the NDC party which still hasn’t changed, not that I wish it does in my opinion constituted the “reasonable” part for your writing your “concerned citizen letter”.
    So even if you were indeed talking perspectively and objectively 3 years ago…. Please don’t say now that your hate for the party had nothing to do with it……
    PS: and don’t say you don’t hate the NDC PARTY!
    that will just tell us how much more you are close to the “mongrel” you bashed, and you have every right to!

  • Cash

    Herh how do you know “hanging harmattan scrotum”?You have been doing the this distin right?

  • Dimah

    The gods drew my spirit high. Dauntlessly want to enter this brawl should we?

    Not a poster boy, however,in my Midyears and possibly andropausing. Lol

    Open the fray guys Dela Cofie and Lydia…

  • Neh Neh

    See this is why we can’t allow the whoredom to thrive ’cause next thing you know they’re being astute , launching oratory bullets and , crumbling our perfect status quo.

  • Sandow

    Lydia you are something else. Even though i have not met you personaly, i never thought you could be so intelligent. Do something bigger with your life for mother Ghana.

  • Wayo

    The 1st day i watched you in Scon with Kwame Sefa Kaye, i said this girls is deep in wisdom. I liked your article about Dum-Sor, The one about NPP and many others, but i think i have to re-position you in my diaries. i lol watching you climbing on bugler proof exercise you did i believe in your own house. You are the kind of people we need. May Almighty Allah grant you wisdom to expose evil dowers who believe they are smart like this “rouge and a boot-leakier” Dela. Indeed beauty with BRAIN. you are smart and smarter

    Hey Lydia, tho I don’t know who you are talking about😂😂🙈🙈🙈but this is a great piece👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  • Winifred

    Hi Lydia, I usually do not comment on blogs but there is something that is compelling me to……( I MARKED u as sm1 to watch out for when I saw Perfect Picture. U have a strong presence that can be almost threatening to ple who r not well grounded in their identity. This was my opinion of u after ur first scene)…. that said, I’ve ‘followed’ u since and u have not disappointed. At the appropriate time the Universe may grace us with a meeting chance I hope. Until then keep on being the ‘VOICE’ for ‘US’. We ain’t silent because we are cowards…. it’s because our role in this ‘MOVEMENT’ is different. We got your back.

    And oooh Picture Perfect piece on Dela. 👏🏼.

    Winnie.

  • Maame Serwaa Prempeh
