  Good boy,you have done your bit.May i remind you also about political corruption in Australia and also the high rate of drug and alcohol abuse in Australia.Diabetics,liver disease gun touting bikies coupled with Middle Eastern organized criminals are headaches for both the health authorities and the their cousins in the Police force.Every country has got their problems,yes we have energy problems and high employment rate in Ghana,i respectively ask you to help and not whinge.Do not forget the Eddie Obeid corruption saga in the former NSW labor government and the current federal Government with MP's travel rebates,there are a lot more.I will also like to state that Ghana is an under developed country with high unskilled population as you underlined so please do not compare lemons with apples.The Australian economy is far bigger than Ghana's,you are talking about over a trillion dollar economy, the highly educated Australians are humble as compared to their Ghanaian counterparts and the work ethics are also varied.However the Black Star will rise and shine only if you roll your sleeves and help and not sit under the gum tree munching your BBQ.

  The husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over sixty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you."
  
  "Yes", she says, "I remember it well." "OK," he says, "How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?" "Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!"
  
  A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle, he thinks to himself, "I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble." So he follows them.
  
  The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence.
  
  The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.
  
  The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
  After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.
  
  So, as the couple passes, he says to them, "Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?" Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, "Sixty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."

  I guess you could do better,there are numerous youth volunteers from various western countries in Ghana including Australians.They are helping Ghana in any little way they can,yet Dr.Kofi Ansah,Ghanaian born and bred does not see the need to help.He is so entrenched in his self imposed exile in Australia that he sees nothing good in Ghana.Good on him.Those he left behind including the South African investors will try to move the country forward. Dr.Kofi Ansah must understand that Australia was built by Australians and they did not run away only to come back to whinge.They stuck together and did the hard yakka and that is the only reason it is such a beautiful country,they did not do the runner like K.Ansah.I will advise Dr.Ansah to go often to help in any meaningful way he could.We see young Aussies go to places like Ghana, build schools and engage the youth in skills training ,Dr.Ansah could do better than running only to turn round to complain.There are so many ways he could help but typical Ghanaian,he could only see the dark side.With his educational standard,i wish he could see the other side of the coin,the resilience of Ghanaians and how they are crawling their way out of abject poverty.Ghana is not that bad.Dr Ansah is guilty of doing the runner,he is therefore sentenced to Papa Samo,can never go.
