Speaking with the president of the Ghana National Council of Metropolitan Chicago,Mr. Reuben Hadzide, today, he stated that his speech will highlight what needs to be done to make our country great! He emphasized that its about time we all become part of the solution to our country's problems and also tell our leaders what their advisers are not telling them!

An excerpt from Reuben's speech reads "We know we have to face the hard truths and take strong steps, but we have not done so. Instead, we have drifted, and that drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, and shaken our poise."
