Blame the nature of our party politics.
Especially, how NDC. & NPP view each other.
The are for their parties' interests more than they are for Ghana's interests.

Why surprised? NPP if not in power will work to sabotage the party in power. They did NOT want Black Stars to win as it will be viewed an NDC achievement

Patriotism in Ghana? oh we never love ourselves, nor love for mother Ghana, never its not new, just take a look at the chinese, who arrived yesterday, with the help of fellow ghanaians kill other ghanaians and take the gold and we remain, poor. Take another look at the Government officials who only stuff their pocket, do you know much one Land cruiser cost, this can build classrooms for the village primary school.
Take a look at ghanaians we only vote because we Akans or ewes, not for the policies and ideas.
And finally, take a look at the pastor, he is driving LEXUS, and the church is in rags, do you really think he was blessed by GOD. Think alittle of this.

Ifind your article to be very academic,sensible and truly patriotic than all the trash about tribal Asante,Ewe or Northerners superiority over one another. Articles about ones ethnicity should not be tolerated by fair, progressive and open minded Ghanaians.Good or bad, I still love the country I call home, Ghana. Please let us direct our anger and hatred towards our corrupt politicians but never against ourselves.

Patriotism and nationalism died with Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.It took Osagyefo ten years to educate Ghanaians to think and live as one people with one destiny.Fifty six years on this generation of so called stomach politicians are preaching and practising tribal democracy which has turned the clock back for any progress for the country.Our political opponents are enemies.How can enemies live under one roof and believe in a just society?This generation in politics are mentally challenge-they are sick in the head.No country exist on tribalism and without patriotism and nationalism,we will never progress.Nana Egyir Aggrey Snr citizen

Congratulations for a well thought-out and well written article. What was of particular interest to me was your interview with the guys at Katamanto. Next time please interview the President, Ministers of state and Parliamentarians and ask them what they would rather do to show that they have the interest of the country at heart: Ensure good and constant water and power supply for ALL or what ?... and I'll wager you the responses will invariably be "fat salaries and allowances as well as handsome ex-gratia awards for US" That is how elected officials show their love for their country Ghana

A thought-provoking and enjoyable read. My take is that the very partisan nature of our politics is primarily to blame for the phenomenon and this is evidenced by the scant comments your brilliant piece has received. You may well have had uncountable comments had you chosen to deal with a political issue.Really sad, euh!
