SA WA GYE WA NE SUO!

WHEN SOME ARE TRYING TO LEAVE THE WEST, SOME OF US ARE ALSO BUSIER THAN EVER TRYING TO ENTER.

OF COURSE, IT IS EVERY PARENTS WISH TO GIVE THE BEST TO THEIR CHILDREN, BUT GHANA HAS BEEN ABLE TO TRAIN WORLD STANDARD DOCTORS EVEN IN OUR SHITHOLE.

THANKS TO NANA ADDO AND NDC'S MISGUIDED FOLLOWINGS OF A DANGEROUS POLICY, THE YEAR OF RETURN, WE WILL SOON HAVE OUR OWN LEVEL OF VIOLENCE.

I AM NOT AGAINST GHANA WELCOMING THOSE FROM THE DIASPORA BUT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ON A STRICT PROCESSING NOT TO LET IN PEOPLE WHO WOULD COME TO DESTROY THE NICE THINGS THEY SEE FOR COMING.

I DON'T BLAME THE DIASPORA, BUT DECADES OF INDOCTRINATION FROM EUROPEANS HAS MADE THEM VIOLENT AND MISGUIDED.

MANY OF THEM NEED TO HEAL AND THOSE IN GHANA MUST LEARN THAN ATTEMPTING TO INFLUENCE AND SPREAD THEIR SELF HARMING CULTURES.

WE, IN GHANA LIVE WITH CLEAR BLEND INTO NATURE. NOT PERFECT, BUT ALSO NOT BROKEN, SICK, POMPOUS AND DISRESPECTFUL.

TAKE YOUR TIME AND LEARN.

No parent train their kids on how to kill their teachers and classmates. The Gun Culture is extremely crazy in many parts of the USA. One important thing is that it is never everywhere that people, especially the youth should go. Sometimes the uniform, including the shoes that some youth wear indicates that they belong to a particular Gang and for that matter becomes a target for another gang. Three Years ago, my son was coming from town and he was robbed by a group of young boys because of the kind of clothing that he was wearing. It is sometimes silly to understand what goes on. I will normally not be attacked by any Gang Members because they see me as an elderly person and don't belong to a Gang. Some youth are even targeted and killed because of the vehicles they drive. Sometimes when the Gang Members of other groups just attack people from dressing a fluently. It is sad. Many of the Youth in my area know my Profession so they will not attack me. Some also known that I am always carry two Strong Pistols with me and don't talk to any Girl. I also don't go to certain places that are known for violence. And if you have a son, you need to get him a .35 Gun. When the Gang Members of other groups get to know that your son carries a Gun, they just leave him alone. The important thing is to educate your son or daughter to know that it is not every area that they should go, especially at odd times.
Tell your children not to be involved in unnecessary arguments with people. Really, the schools are the most dangerous people for the youth to be. I have a High School close to my house and there are always three vehicles with Armed Police around. Sometimes when the High School Students close from School, Police Helicopters with Armed Police will be hovering around. It is indeed very scary. Not long ago, some students went on a shooting spree at the Emory University which always has many Armed Police around. That is where we have the Center for Disease Control but some of the people don't care to shoot to kill because they think there is nothing to lose when they shoot innocent people.
I attend seminars for African youth and educate the youth on how to be careful with who they choose as their friends. They should also not be involved with any Drugs. It is very serious. I am lucky that my Children are all done with their First Degrees. They were given birth to here and understand the System.
Let us pray for the Children who are brought here for High School and College Education. The best thing to do is to buy a Pistol for your Children and let the one go to a Shooting Academy. It is very unfortunate but that is the Devil's Alternative.

So why do you put your child in such an environment ? A child has to carry a gun to school in order to learn in peace ? What ? So that he'll come to Ghana and boast that he's from the US ? The kids in Ghana are just doing fine, at least they don't have to face the probability of being killed in schools or shopping malls.

Boss let me tell you one thing about a brokers life, you know in Africa or let alone Ghana when you are cool, reserved and soft spoken, people see you as a cool guy with respect by saying “ won p3 ne ho sent koraa” that kind of life doesn’t work in abroad because if you are cool, reserved and anti social, people in abroad think you are dumb or stupid but in Ghana people cherish you. Your kid should have opened up a bit more and integrate well with his classmates and be a bit like them. One thing l have studied well when moved abroad. RIP to your son though, it’s sad when you lose loved ones.

Boss, let me share one thing I have learnt about life abroad. In Africa, particularly in Ghana, when you are calm, reserved and soft-spoken, people tend to see you as a respectful and well-mannered person. They might even say, “Wɔn pɛ ne ho asɛm koraa” (he is very quiet and keeps to himself). That kind of personality is often appreciated in Ghana.

However, things can be quite different abroad. If you are too quiet, reserved and socially withdrawn, people may perceive you as unintelligent, awkward or even foolish, whereas in Ghana, such qualities are often admired and associated with good manners.

I believe your son could have benefited from opening up a little more, interacting with his classmates and making an effort to integrate socially with them.

This is one of the things I have come to understand since moving abroad: cultural differences can have a significant impact on how people perceive and relate to one another.

Nevertheless, my sincere condolences on the loss of your son. Losing a loved one is heartbreaking. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
