  The Thief ex-president Kuffuor brought back Kalabule and corruption to Ghana and disamantled security and safety networks in society by introducing something he called business, Cocaine Trade.
  
  He stoled the old cedis through the introduction of a thievery monitory policy which promised improved value of the new Ghana cedi by pegging it at par with the dollar without any meaningful economic policy of structures in place, just a way to steal.
  
  Today the cedi vobrates downwards like the downward curve of supply of Labuor.Npp thieves don't even celebrate independence of Ghana, are they Ghanaian?

  I don't think you are normal at all. Compare Rawlings' tenure to Kuffour's and judge who did better than the other. By the way, did Kuffour steal your father's pant?

  "NPP theives do not even celebrate independence" This is the sum of all our problems . They are still waiting to be ready. But let me tell them it took the ANC from 1911 to 1994 to get independence after a lot of blood shed. No Native American has been found ready and so suitable to be president and No " Aborigine" has been PM of Australia .

  We as Ghanaians have failed to love each other as the good Lord advised us. Instead, we have chosen to attack each other. How can we build and move forward when half of the population are waiting just to tear down what has been built because of hatred and jealousy? Love conquers all. And unity builds a nation.

  My Brother am happy to read alternative hope raising write ups and you have a point. To Bob crow. I thought that you will talk to the issues raised and contribute positively. The gross disrespect we display on this platform in the name disagreement adds to the negative and will not allow anyone listen objectively. Lets debate objectively for a better brighter future

  Brother Mensah, God bless you for this encouraging piece.
  
  I will however disagree with you on your analysis on Education. The quality of education in Ghana has dramatically plummeted to its lowest since independence. The current botched educational system we see in Ghana is inferior and cannot be compared to that of the 60’s 70’s and 80’s, no not at all. The standard has dropped as a result of the hurriedly introduced JSS/SSS system without proper research, resources and preparation. The population has increased and authorities have not put in place a proper oversight mechanism into Ghana’s educational system. When you have more people looking for inadequate education openings, the standard drops as many bogus institutions springing up with lazed curriculum regulations. There is also the lack of incentives which lead to low teaching staff morale, inadequate teaching resources leading low academic standards etc.
  
  A current university graduate cannot be compared with an A’ level holder in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. There is a huge difference between them. Most Ghanaians gained admission to universities abroad in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s with their A levels. Current university graduate cannot even strand a simple sentence let alone do a comprehensive analysis given a scenario.
  
  The fact that Nigerians are trooping into Ghana to attend schools does not mean our education has improved. If you are not aware, Ghana and Kenya have since independence led in education. Many Africans got their education from Ghana or looked up to Ghana for directions in Education in the 60’s and 70’s. Thanks to Nkrumah who within few years of taking charge turned about 200 hundred educational institutions (primary to university) to over 6000 in just 5 years. Other Africans stopped coming here (Ghana) when Ghanaian teachers started migrating to other parts of Africa to teach there.
  
  The colonizers didn’t come to educate us, they came to steal and destroy us. That is why they didn’t find the need to educate us. The only roads we had in the country were roads from sources of raw materials to the ports. Take care, bro.
