Well said bro. I like your piece. IT's funny the way things work in Ghana. I live in the U.S.A. and everything about Ghana irritates me of late. In fact, nothing is done right in our motherland. I feel like Ghana is behind the rest of the world by 2 centuries.

Anyway, what matters most is for some of us, including you the writer of this piece, to contribute our quota to our country. Francis, what are you good at? Please come out and don't be afraid! Let's all contribute our "too known" to help lift Ghana out of its misery.

I really like your funny and thought provoking piece however, I am conflicted.
All the great minds you did mention are what I will call humble "too knowns". Most of the too knowns in our society are the "in your face" type who promotes self importance than any tangible contribution in their field of endeavour. That is what irritates quite a sizeable number of people.

I need your input or clarification.

THANKS

Yeah, that's exactly my point, unless the article is too dense for you.

Francis Dery. I think he is being witty rather than sarcastic. But I like your piece.
To stand up for one's rights or common sense is frowned upon in the society. Problem is the broken system has benifited lots of people. That's the only system they've known. Them changing their ways is like you being asked to conform to their corrupt and church business industry.

My attitude to such derogatory statements has always been to actualize my "too knownism" by succeeding in my endeavours and leaving the "fools" wallowing in their ignorance and lethargy.

Thanks for sharing. In fact, you spoke the minds of many. I've always known that, "too known" is holding us hostage.

You even see some one riding a motor bike without helmet, complain and you will be term Too-Known. Where are we getting to. See some one throw correct someone and you will be termed Too-known.

We are only good at consuming and criticising anything that moves . ..and it's always based on tribal sentiments. We are not far from what happened in Rwanda.

YOUR PIECE IS GOOD BUT IN GHANAIAN PARLANCE OR CONTEXT "TOO KNOWN" ARE NOT THE WORDS ONE WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO DESCRIBE THE ACHIEVEMENTS YOU JUST SOUGHT TO BRING TO THE NOTICE OF GHANAIANS.
