Who is Killing Ghana?

Ghana Flag Big The Ghana flag

The blame for what Ghana has become falls on you and me. Not Rawlings, not Kufuor, not Mahama and definitely not the civil and human rights advocate Akufo-Addo.

Our wickedness stinks to the high heavens as we go about our daily lives, pulling down everyone and everything to become rich. We import substandard Chinese products, fake drugs and expired baby food unfit for human consumption, destroying the environment with galamsey aided by the Chinese and we have the nerve to complain about leadership and governance!!

We even steal from widows, orphans and refugees. We take their food and sell it for profit. No conscience. No fear of God. Nothing is sacred. No one is spared.

Our architects, engineers and contractors build substandard roads, schools, houses and hospitals, all for profit at the expense of human life; an invaluable item which all our profit and contract sum cannot buy.

One would think this behaviour is reserved for urchins but it would surprise you that this is the character of many decent looking people who appear to be normal but are not any better than Boko Haram members. They are church members, Muslims, husbands, wives and sadly youths.

We pervert justice and pretend we do not know right from wrong just to serve our selfish interests. We loot the State and dump the booty in Dubai and Mauritius banks. Slave traders pale in comparison to what we do to ourselves today. We are wickedness personified.

So much hatred flows in our blood and we transfer it to our children. It's evident in what we say and do.

We have Ramadan, fasting and prayer sessions all year long, night vigils and deliverance when the actual problem is us. We simply cannot learn to love others as the Bible and Quran say. It is me, me and me only. That is all that ever matters. It is sickening. Any Christian or Muslim who cannot love has no business in politics, government and in Ghana.

Until we understand this, we will continue on this path of destruction.
