Bukom Banku: Faint heart cannot call a fair lady
Boxing crowd puller Braimah Kamoko, aka Bukom
Banku was in his elements Tuesday as a brilliant
comedian, jabbing his way out of politics with his
witty pranks.

He had only a fortnight ago rescinded his vow to
contest and win the 2012 parliamentary poll at
Odododiodoo in central Accra as an independent
candidate. And on Tuesday when he appeared on
Radio Gold to support the bid of the man he calls
his ‘godfather’, Nii Lante Vanderpuije, Banku
drove home the point that he really is a man of
many funny words.

Proving his depth as a ‘Bible scholar’, Banku
replied incumbent MP for Odododiodoo, Nii Tackie
Komme to go and read Romans ‘8 chapter 31’ after
he the MP had quoted Psalm 20 verse 7 to support
his re-election bid and to counter a confident
outlook by his challenger, Nii Lante Vanderpuije
.

“First and foremost before I say anything I want
to say a quotation from the Bible, that is Psalm
20: 7….” Komme began his submission when asked how
he saw the contest.

Psalm 20:7 reads “Some trust in chariots and some
in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord
our God,” topping it up eventually with the
statement “with God all things are possible.”

But Banku would not be outdone, shooting back
immediately with his reply. “Me Nii Lante
Vanderpuije is my father. I like the way the MP is
saying, because he say Psalm 20 verse 7, I want to
tell the MP that he open to the Bible now and read
Roman 8 chapter 31. Eeh, (yes) Roman 8 chapter
31,” he said before proceeding to render the quote
in Ga. “What then shall we say to this? If God is
for us, who can be against us?” is what the Bible
says at “Romans 8 Chapter 31”, to which Banku
exclaimed “Yea I want Tackie Komme (to) open the
Bible now.”

“When the God are support you, nobody are killing
you. By the grace of God Nii Lante will win the
election in Odododiodoo,” he exclaimed.

Then he scooped up some more of his
ripe-for-the-encyclopedia wisecracks, saying “too
much of laughing killing disease,” (a lot of
laughter keeps sickness away) he explained, adding
“I want to tell Jonathan Tackie Komme, “a faint
heart cannot call a fair lady,” to wit a man must
be courageous to seduce a woman.

May be Banku should consider seriously his future
as a comedian when he runs out of boxing steam,
for he definitely will make a number of disciples.
