Do it Differently!

I doubt if we can be as successful as we individually desire if each one’s plan of action is in every respect, totally helpless without the use of methods, ideas or products already initiated by others, if no one wants to do things differently or perhaps think of a Plan B.

Ultimately, because of our lack of stimulus to make a first move, to at least originate ONE new thing of our own, the market for the unoriginal garbage we offer becomes so damn saturated; and since everyone will be trying to outdo each other, we’ll end up falling back on some stupid ‘tug-of-war’.

I can recall when ‘Telecentres’ were introduced; you can hardly find more than one in any neighborhood; it was so contained and lucrative; but then everyone started going into it, thinking it is perhaps an opening to own a ‘Fortune 500’ business.

The same state of affairs for Internet Cafes, Video Clubs, Barbing Salons, Car Washes etc, even with women who sell foodstuffs in the hood; today you will find 4 to 5 ‘Ebbeh’ sellers on a single track; or maybe because Agie Fatou is doing well in her evening ‘Nyambay-Nyebeh’, her next door neighbours, Kinneh and Kumba have also set up small tables by their gates.

Shit has even tiptoed into our music scene, but that's not my worry, what is funny is how it has gone corporate. Apparently almost every Public Enterprise has a Staff Association, and all of them have seemingly the same agenda and the same line of attack towards that agenda; same concerts, same artists, same causes and sometimes within the same span

I can go on and on, and this copycat thingy cyaan done; seen.
