Dear Dr.Kofi Ansah,you have every right to remain in Australia.However,it is not right for you to put Ghana down after a short visit.You mentioned how Ghanaians live in home detention by putting up high walls and barbed wires,how crime and corruption are everywhere in your previous article.May i also remind you about crimes in Australia,bikies,middle eastern criminal organizations,drugs,alcohol abuse and corruption in politics,NSW labor party.You feel comfortable in ACT,fair enough,but please do not throw in the spanner after a short visit.Mind you there is a massive brain drain,it will be helpful if you can contribute positively.You still lack the Aussie spirit of humility and generosity.You are still the learned Ghanaian,who is always right.Remember to always give your fair bit humbly and always find a way to help.The difference is that Australia has got $1.5trillion economy.

Dear Speedy Gonzalez, I have not read Dr Kofi Ansah's previous article but I do believe he is a Ghanaian patriot who shows concern (like we all do) whenever he feels something is not going well for Ghana. I can tell you that although I live in the US where crime rate is extremely high I would still express concern if crime is on the ascendancy (even on a minimal scale) in Ghana. That show of concern is an expression of patriotism and not an attempt to 'put Ghana down'. The fact that there is corruption in high places elsewhere does not mean there should be corruption everywhere in Ghana also; so please bear with Dr Ansah if he reiterates observed vices on an albeit short visit to Ghana. He loves his country and wants only the good for His country. I think many Ghanaians misconstrue genuine criticism of events and the way things are handled in Ghana as derision or scorn. How sad !

The show of concern is only the first step,what you do to address the concern is the major obstacle in our society.We talk,show concern,then what next?We need to develop practical sense of problem solving.We do not have talk in our comfortable lounges and expect those we left behind to perfectly address all our concerns.We all know it does not work like that,in the western and developed world,they pick brains from from all over the world and are more practical.Good brains research,how problems can be fixed and who can fix it.They do not just whinge,as it is not necessary.

We have to remind ourselves that our first President Dr. Nkrumah was invited from diaspora to help fight for our so called Independent.

Dr. Ansah relax for I see this issue as a ploy to gag those of us overseas by the politicians and the greedy locals that envy diaspora`s. Dr. Nkrumah travelled abroad but he was able to help the nation . If Ghana will ever develop it will depend on those that have travelled outside the country . Mau De Dong also had to travel to America to know how to help China and look at China Now.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING YOUR QUOTA BY REMITTING MONEY TO GHANA, IGNORE THE CRITICISM. IF PEOPLE IN GHANA CANNOT SEE SO CALLED WHITE PEOPLE IN GHANA? THEY ALL HAVE COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN YET THEY ARE WORKING IN GHANA AND SO ARE GHANAIANS WORKING OR LIVING IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND THE RIGHT TO SAY YOUR MIND ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN GHANA. YEN ASASE NI.

It goes a long way to show our poor mentally as a nation!!!
Why should certain jobs be protected for Ghanaians born in Ghana when we have dual nationality, except in football where our children are chased by GFA to play for Ghana? Those who have stayed back, what have they done but contributed to destroying our economy through their corrupt practices? Half of the population cannot give you their addresses as our streets have no names and our addresses are PO BOX? and they are not ashamed of this? I went to Ghana recently and a friend asked whether I had come to help build the country or coming into politics???? Hmmmmmmm
