Edward Adeti of Media Without Borders has written a response to Earl International hours after Ebenezer Bognaab the company’s Public Relations Officers (PRO) releases a response following Adeti’s publication about him and the company on September 22, 2023. Apexnewsgh.com reports Adeti captured in his recent response that Ebenezer Bognaab is not visible in the media. “He is only visible in courts. It appears he is only being paid to represent the company in courts. I am not suggesting to you (the company) to sack Bognaab. But I think he will perform better at your gate as a security officer. Maybe head of security. Or a security coordinator. Because he has the stamina it takes to man the front for you. And I can see that he is passionate about attacking people (as demonstrated in his response) and barking orders” He was responding to an earlier response issued by the PRO with the title “RESPONSE TO EDWARD ADETI’s FALSE AND VINDICTIVE DRAMATIC REPORT” Below is Adeti’s full response SHAANXI RATHER NEEDS EBENEZER BOGNAAB AT THE GATE AS A SECURITY OFFICER Dear Shaanxi, I trust this message finds you well. I was about to go to bed on Friday, 22 September 2023, when a friend gave me a call and asked me to check a message he had sent to me on WhatsApp. Before he ended the call, he laughed derisively. And when I checked, a piece of garbage said to have been scribbled by an overfed juvenile who took over from Maxwell Wooma as your public relations officer, perhaps for want of a suitably qualified successor, was what I found. After sparing some time to glance at the content, I concluded it was not worth a second look. It was then I realised why my friend ended his call with a laugh. When I was just about to fall asleep, another friend called. The call was on the same subject. And he laughed, too. But unlike the first caller, he suggested I respond because my response may serve you good as a company. I wrote a story about you (Shaanxi) and your “public relations officer” just today. The laughable stuff was what he wrote in response. So, this is my response to that response. It is a piece of advice, or an opinion. And I hope it serves you some good. Of course, I am not oblivious to the fact that my right to offer you any humble advice ends at your right to reject it. At present, you do not have someone you can call a public relations officer. You may think you do have. But what you have, as we speak, is a public relay-race officer. An officer who runs away with a baton of contempt to dodge when the press want answers from him on serious developments that happen in the company. That is what you currently have in Ebenezer Bognaab as your public relations officer. Your company has been recording tragedies with casualties this year. When a call is placed by the press to the person you pay to speak to these developments on your behalf, he refuses to answer. And when messages are sent to him on WhatsApp, he reads them (as evidence shows on my phone for example) but he declines to reply. He is not a quarter as smart as Wooma, his predecessor. When Wooma was in charge as public relations officer, he understandably preferred to see the press turn a blind eye to any accidents recorded in Shaanxi’s yard, but I do not remember even one occasion where Wooma ignored a call or a message from any journalist regarding any accident that was linked to the company. It was rare. Even in the wake of the worst ever mining disaster in 2019, where sixteen people died from an explosion for which Shaanxi was held responsible by the government of Ghana, an overwhelmed Wooma kept talking to media houses nationwide, day and night on that issue until another issue took over. And he kept talking until he ceased to be a Shaanxi mouthpiece. No matter how horrible the issue was and regardless of any personal differences he may have with a media practitioner, Wooma would speak to that issue and to anybody in an astute manner even his critics acknowledged he was cut out for the job. Although I cannot vouch for Wooma as innocent or perfect, he was knowledgeable, eloquent, clever and generally available to the media. It is public knowledge that the same good qualities cannot be seen in Bognaab. Look for the antonyms of the qualities Wooma possesses and match those antonyms against Bognaab; they will fit him. He is not knowledgeable. He is not eloquent. He is not clever. He is not available. He is just the opposite. I guess Bognaab runs away from critical questions because he is not competent and he thinks it is a smart way to do a public relations job. And he thinks the only way to conceal his incompetence is to attack anyone who is holding the company’s feet to the fire of accountability. He is not visible in the media. He is only visible in courts. It appears he is only being paid to represent the company in courts. I am not suggesting to you (the company) to sack Bognaab. But I think he will perform better at your gate as a security officer. Maybe head of security. Or a security coordinator. Because he has the stamina it takes to man the front for you. And I can see that he is passionate about attacking people (as demonstrated in his response) and barking orders. A public relations officer who runs away from accountability questions from the media is simply telling the public that the organisation he works for does not care about humanity. That public relations officer is only telling the public that the company he works for cares only about itself. To conclude, I will ask your “public relations officer” some
