Mr Boateng.Ghana has never been a nation period?can't you see ghanaians are sufering from identity crisis,for some crazy white men subducing some African tribes force them together and then give them a name,couldn't give them one native common language but rather enforce their european languages on them which has resulted into chaos situation to the extend that the ghanaian ppl can't no longer identify themselves.even common national ID card for themselves has turn to dogs of war how much more would they be able to identify what is good for them....?

Culture of insults is eating into our society, young ones do not respect the elderly,culture of insults is everywhere,ritual killings continues unabated because most people think riches is all that one needs to make a good living but it is always said good name is better than riches,Ghana have sank so low than one could imagine,armed robberies in the country has become the order of the day,lorry accidents in the country are too rampant all these things but the few mentioned is attributed in search of quick money,last but not the least is drug smuggling and its use, no there is something wrong somewhere!!!

At its heart was a reassertion of a transnational African identity that hinged not just on ethnicity but on a shared history of marginalization and a common hope for the future. Black Americans had long demonstrated an interest in African freedom, from the protests that erupted after Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935 to activists like W.E.B. DuBois, wife Shirley Graham Du Bois and Martin Luther King Jr., who journeyed to independent Ghana to engage with Pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah. But a focus on domestic civil rights and American identity dominated the early 1960s, pushing such internationalism to the side.

Ghana is gradually imploding on many fronts: tribal, loose moral. weak institutions, failed governments, school systems collapsing and we're becoming poorer too. The solution first most is foster national identity that cut across tribal and party lines. Increasingly, we have become enfeebled by so called partners; there are particular foriegn nationals in Ghana working to distabilse the country. Ghanaian must sit-up and not be bogged down by NPP-NDC nonsense, unfortunately as has rightly been pointed out there severe ignorance of the greater majority of the people including some intellectuals. There's no poverty of ideas but I'm afraid the future of this country is bleak indeed. Just look at how the Chinese are poluting our water bodies and stealing our resources and governmet does nothing. The rest of Africa and students of Ghana history are watching with amazement at the current developments. Let us UNITE NOW BEFORE OUR DEAR COUNTRY IMPLODE.

Well appreciated message as we are loosing our roots and identify. In my view the government should do moreand likewise our learning institutions. This does not exclude our culture, movie and music industries. We are blinded by other cultures without looking back to our roots. Politics aside if the huge corruption size in terms of money at list 10% may be invested to continue works like the encyclopedia Africana which W.E.B Dubois was working on as initiated by Nkrumah we will be building a historical knowledge. I was surprise to see a young white American student reading W.E.B's work and least we forget Franz Fanon wrote most of the contents of tge Wretched of the Earth in Ghana.....from Ali to Malcom X and don't forget Martin Luther King Jnr all visited Ghana and saw it as inspiration. Awake Ghana we need a cultural regeneration.

Thank you for acknowledge the loss of our precious language and culture as we copy cut foreign culture of prostitution,rape and armed robbery.Churches especially Jahovah witness and SDA should be congratulate for using the bible to expand our knowledge,vocabulary and literature using local languages but is not enough.I have various or numerous occasion advice Nana Ampadu to use his talent using some of his songs to write TWI novel to make money and live a lasting impression on our lives as a man who stories has play a role in preserve our TWI language but he refuse good counsel and advice.We are also looking forward as to when Apostle will come out with a computer keyboard software that can write TWI alphabets as something some of us try to write TWI riddle and proverbs using non-existing letters make our language socks.As of now we lacks the knowledge and wisdom to develop our own language and department or institute of Ghana languages has not done good jobs at all to promote local language by translate novels and stories into our local languages.

Thanks so much Mr Gyan Apenteng but I am afraid we are not just losing our national identity ; we have lost it .The only way out is to embrace Sankofa with (an) unquenchable zeal.Yes, we must retrieve our lost identity.we lost it the very moment we sat down and let our languages be tagged " vernacular ' and the mere speaking the so termed vernacular constitutes a punishable offence in our schools.Where are we heading when the offsprings of Agyei and Oforiwaa cannot say a word in twi,Kotey and korkor's children look at you funny when you speak Ga,Atinga and Alareba's children understand Frafra but they cannot speak it,Ametor and Dzifa's children(quite uncharacteristic of Ewes ) neither speak nor understand a word in Ewe and the parents deem it a pride ? Look at what we eat now(with idiotic pride)instead of Ghanaian dishes that others so long to eat.The speed at which we adopt someone's (sadly almost always nagative) idiosyncrasies ,is sad , shameful and alarming.Our English accents www is fast eroding.Ityo mystifying how and why some of us think we should pick what Nigerians are struggling to get rid of.For instance just write' water bottle or camera man and ask the any one below thirty-five living in Ghana to pronounce: Just count the syllables.Nine out of ten it will go Niaja way -WOR TA BOR TUL.CA ME RA MAN.In our own Twi this nonsense that started in the mid eighties has gained roots: folks what is N3a as opposed to ni3.Ni3 me p3 anaa s3 n3a me p3 ? How about the way we dress.Formerly you could almost always identify a Ghanaian from a distance just by his or her appearance.What do we have today ? Let's take a nostalgic look into the era when Akwasi Donkor would speak real Twi to us Kofi Amisah ,Amamo Karkra,kanewu Kwaku Donkor and co with their raw fantse ,Asare kudjo and others with enjoyable Nzima and what I miss the most: 3y3 'ohen Kwaku Darko na mere kasa yi- original Akuapem.Just listen to what we have now : one twi word thirty-five english words .Listen to the MY ADORABLE LADIES.S3nea 3b3 3nhanse( enhance) women's football in Ghana.Is it not just laughable and shameful to hear twi mingled with english echoing on radio every day " even though y3 p3 s3 y3 wini BUT ... THOUGH BUT ? Then the adverbal form of hard ( 3y3 hardly s3..,.) what ? Why can't we be Ghanaians and just. Ghanaians.Kudos opayin ,next time please teach us what those brave, patriotic and honorable men -Du Bois, Nkrumah and Padmore stood for . Gone are the days when a Ghanaian child would not do A, B or C say Q ,R or S in the presence of adults nor wear. N-O -N-S-E-N-S-E in public.Is it not sad and shameful to see a sixty old lady standing in the carridor while purported Ghanaian teens are comfortably seated in a party ? Haven't we lost it ?Opayin,may God bless you

That said, our love everything foreign than ours is to blame. We hate ourselves, food, clothes, language or anything that is Ghanaian and if we continue that path, where will it lead us? Gradually, we becoming extinct in culturally and traditionally.

All this ll change if people re not hungry and the ghanain economy doing well,when the living re suffering and can't get proper education what is history or identity to them?entataiment is a very important thing in human development,check the salary build up of workers to see if you can find any?transport to and from work is a problem,when it's raining people hide under overhead bridges.Tourism ll work only when people re well paid,what we forget is the the money we pay them is circulated but if you deny them such allowances the tourism industry ll die,if you don't ve peace of mind because you kids ve been kick out of school or no food at home ll think of buying a history book?because they can be no his than you the hungry family.The polititians ve been given too much room on corruption and it has descended down to the average Ghanain almost becoming a religion,our president is corrupt himself so do his ministers because they know his little secret.

Any country loses its identity if it can't hear its own voices. Creative arts are the voice of a nation, and the source of its identity. Mr Gyan Apenteng mentions three notable Pan Afrikanists, but not a single creative writer. Ghana also has Ama Ata Aido, Frank Kobina Parkes, Nii Ayikwei Parkes, Kofi Anyidoho,Kofi Owonoor. Yet when I went to Ghana, I found that few people knew that there are literary giants who are carrying the language, the traditions and more importantly how people are thinking about their lives at various points in time. It is not valued, and therefore the society is losing its values. What I find with young people generally, and Ghana is no exception, that they are very open to honesty and beauty. If the self-appointed custodians of culture were also responding to the beauty and honesty in artistic expression, it would have a ripple effect on the society. For example, if the newspaper published poems and creative expressions instead of devoting itself to supporting the most conservative and mediocre aspects of the society, it would create the conditions for creativity to revitalise the country. why do we have to die to go to heaven? Can we not have heaven on earth, as Frank Kobina Parkes wrote in his beautiful poem? https://niiayikwei.wordpress.com/poems-from-ghana/frank-kobina-parkes-african-heaven/
