Ghana is 57 years today and as Ghanaians, we are proud of the many years we’ve come and the liberation hurdles we’ve overcome.
As much as we pride ourselves as the first country south of the Sahara to have gained independence and even fought alongside other nations for their liberations—we should also take the bullet in our chests and say Ghana today is not what we want…
Economically, we are in a worse position and standard of living f keeps falling with time, instead of expected increase.
We seem to have a lot to say with our mouths, but little or nothing to show in our pockets and for our constant struggles.
From toothpick to commodities like rice, we import literally everything that we depend on for survival as people.
Accountability is at its lowest level since independence with our own leaders riding the trains of gold while we run barefooted after these trains.
The ordinary Ghanaian seems to have nothing to show for the fight our founding fathers/mothers aggressively put up against colonialism.
In today’s Ghana, it isn’t anymore shocking to hear people say; Ghana was better under colonialism than under self-governance.
All the same, Happy Independence Day!
