  Good one there at least I have seen a sensible person who can reason and think, first and foremost, what is education at all? In a country where I come from, they defined education as anyone who can read and write English language that is how they defined education in Ghana. A country where a lot of people look down upon those who can't speak and write English language do you think such country can develop no wonder Ghana is a country with good resources but the citizens are mentally weak unable to think and reason as well, they are still slaves to the so-called Europeans. They are still colonized mentally and physically but the reason is that they don't know that they are still under colonization. So in s nutshell that is how illiteracy is defined in Ghana. Then one may ask that how about the countries who are using their own language to study are they illiterates? a country like France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Finland, Norway, China etc can we classify their education system as substandard because they are not using English language to teach in their institutions? Africans will always embraced everything from west and east without thinking deep and its side effect in the future and we hate our own things so tell me are we humans? We always lionize the oppressors and disowned ours and we called ourselves educational elites now listen to a proverb from Europeans to Africans “you can take a monkey from bush but you can't take bush from monkey" how are we going to interpret it? it's simple to Europeans, Africa is bush let's see how they describe Africa they use the word Sub-Saharan and the question is do we have sub-Europeans or sub-Asians or sub-Americans, etc look how they have cited Africa in a World map, Africa as a continent is always at the bottom of the World map, the question is why they didn't cite Europe, Asia, America and Australia at the bottom but only Africa think about it brothers and sisters, the proverb means an African a monkey can come to western or eastern country to study or do anything but because he/she is from Africa you can't take Africa mentality from him or her then the stereotype goes, they are less humans, they don't have food to eat, always fighting among themselves etc so why Africans shouldn't cling to their own and abandoned their stupid act but yet still Africans are upholding their language and their barbaric culture, 500 years we are still slaves so when are we going to emancipate ourselves as a people created by YHWH.
  The time has come for Africans to come together as one people and put their difference away and unit as people it has been a long time in slavery and colonization. The time has come for Ghanaians to put away their difference and unit to develop their nation it has been a long time in slavery and colonization.
  God of our fathers have mercy on us especially banana republic of Ghana. Ghana, Ghana a country with good resources I had wanted to gather my people under one canopy as hen gathered it chicks but my people have abandoned their wisdom through thinking and now following the way of westerners through their devilcracy which is called democracy so now my people cannot be able to manage their own affairs, my people do not appreciate things manufactured in their country, my people preach devilcracy and practice vices, my people preach patriotism but they are not patriotic, my people have lost their sense of judging and now we are in a doom state they can't differentiate good things from bad ones and now engulf with tribalism which has become a canker in the country through bogus so-called educational elites and stomachticians who called themselves as politicians to separate the people in other not to come together to fight against their evil planning. A voice calling from within shouting my people, my people come together to build your nation we were created in the same image not let this stomachticians separate you they are doing it for their own selfish gain so wise up, awake from your slumber, the day is far spent and the night is near so let's ignore all these tribalism stuffs and come together as one people because together we can build a better nation.
  The only way Africans can develop is to use their own language to study and do everything and stop patronizing anything from east or west, a small country like Ghana we can’t develop it why? Because we have pseudo intellectuals who always claims that they are the best but in reality they are at the bottom of the pit, our education system is not good, our education system does not allow us to think inside and out outside the box so for Ghana to develop it needs critical thinkers and nature incliners who can put things together other than that it will take millions of years we will still be where we are.

  It is well said that we don't have to rely only on the gov't for all our projects but what do the Kings say is the meaning of gov't. How is a Gov't formed and for what is the Gov't instituted? I do dupport them 100% but the h ...

  It is well said that we don't have to rely only on the gov't for all our projects but what do the Kings say is the meaning of gov't. How is a Gov't formed and for what is the Gov't instituted? I do dupport them 100% but the heavy portion of our developments MUST BE CARRIED by the Gov't. They were not sent to the parliament just to talk big English as a proof of their knowledge. A Gov't that can't steer the nation's affairs effectivelly must leave office without delay. The Kings are seeking a pat on their sholder from the Gov't and that amounts to curroption.

  The role of chieftaincy in Ghana today should be tourist attraction for economic gains. Our chieftaincy tradition and all the artifacts and regalia that come with it belong to the museums and cultural centres for research and development as well as renewed thinking.
  
  Our chieftaincy and its practices are out of place and out of time; it brought us to a point and we need to move on. There's nothing democratic about it and the blood rituals that go with it is just outmoded. Think about it.

  You have a psychological problem. Or maybe you are suffering from stack ignorance. Go and find out whether the Japanese and Chinese, among other countries that have been enjoying rapid development, don't have and observe their customs and traditions.
  The chiefs are not the managers of our national economy. Don't make them, or our customs and traditions, scapegoats for our state of development. Ask yourself whether you have helped the country's development in any way.

  The 1992 Constitution should be amended to allow our chiefs to be responsible for taking care of rural Ghana. The majority of our chiefs are now better educated than our corrupt politicians. When it comes to the questions of governance, accountability and development, our chiefs would certainly do a better job than our hapless politicians. Let's allow them to show us what they could do.

  Are you blind or a fool? With your examples of good leadership, this country will be sold off before we realise what ha happened to us.Who are selling off our lands for "galamsey" Galamsey pollutes drinking water and makes the land infertile for farming. Pretty soon Ghanaians will depend on food handout to survive. This is the service the chiefs are offering us today!

  Mention the names of the chiefs who are involved with galamsey. Are they northern chiefs, Ga chiefs or Ewe chiefs ?
  Stop making statements you can't prove.
