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He had only a fortnight ago rescinded his vow to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.
