The voices of intellectuals are missing; Academia is quiet, and the Media now conveying more political propaganda.
It appears to me that the culture of silence has returned. This time was not enforced by legal and military power but through convenience, parochialism, hypocrisy, and lack of conviction.

to military adventures and to bridge the next generations to lit the

My mouth has been ungagged, and I am talking. I've been disappointed with every single government we've had under this 1992 constitution.
At least constitutionalism should have been what should have been guiding us. The 1992 constitutional review was long overdue.

Ghana is forever. We will have to turn it around. It is not a matter of

They are nature's wonderful warning that my generation is to carve out a new path toward socio-economic development for the next generation.
We can achieve this by tapping into the experiences of the past generations to bring true independence from neocolonialism manipulations of our leaders through political parties and Parliament.
The imperialists' control of our sovereignty can only is weakened
through the Nonpartisan Parliament that the 1992 constitutional review should embrace.
This second Independence, my generation will fight for the next generation to shape the 21st-century governance of Ghana and Africa.©️Jacob Osei Yeboah
Ghanaians, how can these words that find themselves in the expression of our immobilized nation, can be translated into pragmatic reality in Ghana bequeathed to us by the pioneers of our sovereignty?
