Patriotism in Ghana? How do you expect Ghanaians to be patriotic when we are told that each one for himself/herself, God us all? Forget it.

THAT WILL BE THE FIRST SIGN THAT MR.ANTWI UNDERSTANDS WHAT PATRIOTISM IS. NKRUMAH HAD A GRAND AGENDA FOR HIS OWN GLORIFICATION. PATRIOTISM IN THE WAY HE CHARACTERIZED IT WAS ONLY LIP SERVICE. WHEN THE LEOPARD SAYS HE HAS BECOME A VEGETARIAN, LET'S ACCEPT IT WITH SOME COMMON SENSE.

History education should be included in the school just and shs curriculum. I didn't know much about gh history until after form 3 at Gh national. We learned about the old african empires in songhai, Mali and gh, timbuktu, egypt to slave trade, otto von Bismarck and the partitioning of africa to colonialism to paa grant to nkrumah and the big 6 and we read books written by gh like amazing ama again aidoo, Sutherland, soyinka, achebe, adu boahen etc. Learning about african history was so educative. Sometimes I felt like crying. Such curriculum I think don't exist in gh today for the kids to learn.

Busia and J.B.Danquah criticised Osagyefo for forming the Young Pioneers which was meant to inculcate the spirit of patriotism in Ghanaians.The NPP[the Danquah/Busia group] has formed the Delta and the Invincible Forces and are meant to wreak havoc on their political opponents and government institutions.Patriotism has no meaning for them and I am at a loss as to how their party refers to itself as 'patriotic'.Where is their patriotism?How can the lackeys of the imperialists be patriotic?

Young Pioneers were Nkrumah's vigilante group. Kojo Antwi is too young to be talking about Young Pioneers.

Young Pioneers did worse things than what Delta Force did.

To say that Young Pioneers did worse than Delta and Invincible forces are doing in Ghana now shows how uninformed and bias you are.Those who were afraid of the Young Pioneers were the unpatriotic saboteurs who were doing everything in their power to bring Osagyefo's government down.Young Pioneers never invaded courts,never destroyed government properties and never indulged in violence like the Delta and Invincible forces.They existed to protect and advance the interest of Ghana.The Young Pioneer movement was a disciplined movement and not like the rag tag Delta and Invincible Forces hungry,unemployed indisciplined members.Nana says he believes in the rule of law but at the same time he has trained and released monsters who are 'devouring' Ghanaians.

Zebila,your comment is very interesting but some people would still attack you.imagine a nation like Ghana where history of the people are no more taught in their basic to secondary schools,all because some tribes think their history is more to do with our neigbar countries so they must do every thing posible to destroy the important history some of other tribes forefathers have created for Ghana.eg we had Yaa Asantewaa image on one of our currency Note to encourage our women no matter which tribe but at the end some people kick against it,for the picture to be remove.then come some political parties due to their incompetent character they chose to divde the nation against the tribes and that's has lead to unpatriotism hate behavior running throughout the minds of must Ghanaians who have weak sense of knowlange to see the Kind of hypocrisy been concated into their dialy life.there are now common english words in Ghanaians vocals eg,primitive,illiterate and sometimes broken twi language mix with english like cocoasi kurasini and so on.so this is the new generations we are seeing.

Lady minister, if politicians are looting the nations purse. The nations judiciary should rise up and prosecute them. And if the judiciary fail to render then the president, who is voted by the ppl. should get rid of them now bring in new ones with ethical behaviors. Politicians will always find ways to raid and steal and dats why we have the judiciary and the ppl who are represented by parliamentarians, to bring such atrocities to light

I have been saying this for years and nobody seems to take note........

We have an education system that breeds inferiority complex towards any TOM, DICK and HARRY with a skin colour different from ours.

Not only that, we don't even know who we are as humans. The system breeds MENTALLY ENSLAVED citizens who see nothing good in themselves and a lot of mediocrity!!!!
Believing in someone else's lingo breeds nothing but, FAILURE and INFERIORITY!!! We have spoken and educated ourselves with such lingo for centuries......please tell me what has been the outcome, apart from educated illiterates who can't build our own houses, bridges and roads. We are sitting on gold, diamonds and many more others, and claim we are poor.

NO! WE ARE STUPID!!!! IN THE ABUNDANCE OF WATER, THE FOOL IS THIRSTY!!!!

No patriotic citizen will throw plastic waste and human faeces around their living environment, import toothpicks, toilet rolls and lead foreigners to steal their rich natural resources and in the process pollute our land and rivers.....HOW STUPID, CAN WE FOREVER BE?????

The educations system we have creates brain-drain to our economy.
When are we ever going to get it???

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Thank you Kojo. U said it all. The only true leader we had was the great Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Africa's personality of the millennium.
