QUICKEST WAY OF GETTING EMOTIONAL: THE AFRIYIE ANKRAH THEORY

NDC 11:35 "And Elvis wept."

Former Sports Minister wiping the crocodile tears

So Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah on Thursday, August 21, shed tears before the presidential Commission of Inquiry investigating the participation of the Black Stars at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brasil.

Afriyie-Ankrah, who was narrating the circumstances leading to the boycott of two training sessions by the Black Stars, at a point held back his words, with tears dropping from his eyes.

The former minister become emotional and could not continue with his presentation, compelling the chairman of commission to step in and called for five minutes of break for the minister.

The chairman said, “Don’t be emotional. Please relax. We are not here to attack you, we are here to unravel the facts and put a system in place”.


So this man managed to create a scene in other to make further questions light. Hon. Rodney Nkrumah-Boateng sheds more light on how to do this trick. Follow it carefully and you may end up beating a lie detector at the CIA:


A Guide To Conjuring The Perfect Crocodile Tears.
***************************

 1. Make sure your handkerchief is smeared in Robb or Akobam before you face your inquisitors. Alternatively, try ground onions and ginger mixed with kpakpo shitto (pepper).

2. Check in advance from your inquisitors the most emotional question and how far into the questioning this is likely to come.

3. About 3 mins before the appointed question, dab your eyes with the said handkerchief.

4. Start thinking about the death of your favourite pet, the moment an ex-lover dumped you or imagine what the inside of a prison cell looks like.

5. As soon as the dreaded question lands, start speaking in a croaky voice, dab your eyes again, allow your hands to tremble and the intensify your thoughts about your late pet, the breakup or the cell.

Bam!!! You will need a bucket to harvest the tears. Your questioners will console you and everyone in the room will start sniffling and reaching for their hankies, unless of course they are hard-nosed, granite-hearted wicked elephant followers.

Simple, really

But on a more serious note this man disappointed me. With all the morale he gives the players and the way he's got swagged he wept at last. Everyone has got the breaking point.
