Mother Ghana is bleeding and weeping at the same time due to the callous and unpardonable attitude of her educated children.

Yes, I blame the educated Ghanaians for all our woes and there are plenty of reasons to support that. Our laws which are supposed to be strictly enforced, have been left to gather dust due to whose fault? Our educated Ghanaians.

Every educated Ghanaians should bow his/her head in shame because the nation is suffering due to our insensitivity and the legalize way of plundering the resources that is supposed to cater for all and sundry.

Imagine the money dole out to Woyome, why can't the money be recovered? It is due to how some educated Ghanaians have formed a syndicate just to thwart every effort being done to recover it. Also, have we forgotten the bus branding saga? Dzifa Ativor cunningly stole how much all in the name of being educated.

We cannot look further than blame all educated Ghanaians for our despicable and shameless shit-hole we found ourselves in.

Wow moments indeed because Akuffo Addo, Bawumia and their wives refused to wear the anniversary cloth. JDM and JJ were the best examples on the day.

You make a valid point, but I think sometimes it is way of venting their anger at the racism they may have experienced while studying abroad. I remember a long time ago attending a methodist church in cape coast,and the minister saw some white men in the congegation,who were obviously tourists taking pictures while he was preaching,those of us who know about racism instantly recognised when the minister started taking sacarstic swipes at them, and started making statements like ,Ghana is the best place in the world and some other statements which I cannot remember now.but I knew he was subtly visibly angry at their presence.he was an eminent well known minister at the time.to a lot of people they would not have noticed,but others in the congregation who had experienced arrogance and racism abroad started nodding in agreement. Hard to believe but it's true.

Free your mind from mental shackles.I have worked in places in England where at various moments Muslim staff outnumbered the rest even though they were obviously against the west.complaining at Christmas time how they hate all those Christian songs.so what were they doing in western countries?. They were Muslim so why then not only live and work in exclusively Muslim countries?but it was obvious they did not want to go and live and work in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Libya ,Egypt, morocco.e.t.c. despite their protestations they still preferred to live and earn money in the west.utter hypocrisy if you ask me?

May I please recommend that the day after Independence Day be a tree planting exercise.

The main citizens must better their lives to help Ghana . Liars . Ghaniaians love speaking liars. Most of ghaniains are church going but don't do what God wants them to do. Some family member or friends can kill for small thing. Why? Let us change this bad behaviour for Ghana to move forward. Accept what you have and thank God for that. Each ghaniain must work hard to help President Addo Dankwah to build the country. Our ghaniain ministers also must be sincere and not depending only on money . Some of them steal government money just because he can do that. In Europe nobody is above the law. The past presidents and ministers who have use their position to waist Ghana money shd be arrested and pay back every penny so that Ghana can move forward.
