It is always a joyous moment when a David defeats a Goliath. The victory can happen anywhere and anytime. A long, hard-fought win is the sweetest.
In a world where underdogs face powerful opponents, such victories are refreshing. It’s uplifting to see an underdog triumph over the elite.
Women of old praised David after he defeated Goliath. His victory was relatable and celebrated by many.
Recently, my friends and I cheered for Anas' court victory. He triumphed over a loud-mouthed figure in our homeland, Ghana. This victory took place in a distant U.S. court, making it even sweeter.
Some people here call themselves the "political class." What does that even mean? I’m not sure Anas truly belongs to the underdog class in Ghana.
The true underdog can only dream of getting a visa to the U.S. If they succeed today, Donald Trump would be waiting to deport them back home. Don’t get upset; Trump said it first.
Do I agree with Trump? Who am I to matter? He called African countries "shithole countries," yet our elite did not protest loudly enough. Their voices were too weak to be heard beyond their homes.
Anas A. Anas exposes corruption among the elite and political class. Initially, he focused on corruption among underdogs, earning praise from elites. They even discussed using his methods to fight corruption as part of their campaign promises.
Then Anas targeted powerful figures in justice and sports—big mistake! Suddenly, everyone hailed him as a hero again. But this attention can go straight to one’s head.
The political class retaliated against Anas for his actions. Remember Ahmed Suale? He faced dire consequences for standing up against them.
Anas got too close to powerful figures who then attacked him fiercely. One member openly suggested violence against him without any reprimand from others.
After someone close to Anas died, he became desperate for justice. He sought help from those he had previously exposed—naively expecting fairness from them.
Do you recall what happened with the former Inspector General of Police? His case showed how dangerous these connections can be; he fled court humiliated.
Back to Anas: we celebrate his recent victory! In one court session, officials verbally attacked him instead of offering support. A senior official even had to intervene during this harsh treatment.
Despite being down, Anas refused to give up easily. Unlike most underdogs who might surrender, he took his case all the way to America!
In the U.S., his opponent struggled like a fish out of water—a fitting turn of events! What an incredible story!
I watched videos showing how defeated this loudmouth looked now; he must pay Anas now too!
However, it’s sad that we need to travel abroad for justice in Ghana. How many can afford such journeys? And yet we deny living in a "shithole country"?
