I kept hearing the constant promotion of the Kum kum bagyia series on Adom FM when I tune in to listen to the news. I didn't even know it was an Indian soap opera that has been translated into Twi until I went to my friend who operates an African store here when we were trying to find out if the Medeama verses the Young Africans of Tanzania match was being shown and accidentally got that channel.

The same problems me and my friend were complaining about is what you just wrote in this article. What is wrong with our mentality?

First, I don't even believe the interpretation of the language is right.

This is really bad obsession by Ghanaians.

Hahahaha! Very very very bad. And it's about time we spoke against it and nipped it in the bud.

But you never gave any suggestions as to how to improve the situation. We can't place a ban on the importation of such series.

What are the rules? In other countries, they limit the number of hours foreign films can be shown on tv and even in the theatres. Can we do that? Or can we force a certain percentage of local content on all television stations?

We need answers...

It's not suprising the 'akanfuo' worship everything white man. We go to their snow-laden lands in search greener pasture, our women folk reject their beautiful woolen hair for their silky hair, we prefer their perfumed rice to our nutrient-rich parboiled rice.

And you couldn't have said it any better. As if we have been cursed to reject our own.

We are the only race to have failed miserably in all human endeavours. A massive social and cultural interventionist programme is the only answer needed to reverse an evolutionary misfiring that has plagued the black race. Whilst you will not find this in other races, blacks are the only self loathing people on earth. We hate ourselves wherever you encounter blacks; we are easily induced to turn on each other. We are very untruthful and like to take shortcuts at every given opportunity. Culturally, we are unregulated and have a 'everything goes' attitude towards everything. This is the reason why you can easily have this telenovelas proliferation right on our doorstep without anyone blinking an eye. We are so lazy in the head we fail to recognise the effect it is having on us. Do you think people in Mexico or India or China will rush home to watch a Kumawood movie? - another denigrating name!

Good one there. Exactly my tears. There's no way a Chinese or Mexican will rush home to watch a Kumawood movie. Thanks for your input.
