Wake Up Ghana, You Have Slept Too Long

Have  gone through the emotions of frustration before? Have you had to go through a situation where a full bloodied human being would stand in the middle of a busy MOTORWAY, cars running at top speed all around but this person seemed  unconcerned even if some the vehicles heads towards them?  What type of emotions do you go through as a bystander? It is equally like a good teacher  who sees the POTENTIAL  in a pupil in the class who is capable of becoming a very important person in the future but that pupil refuses to live up to that expectation by working a bit harder. The teacher apart from being frustrated would lack words to describe the emotional torture they will be going through.

 Even the white colonial masters who invaded our land in the 17th Century, and would later turn our forefathers into slaves, exporting them to the new found world of the Americas and Europe saw the resilience of the Ghanaian. They saw at first hand our determination to fight any excesses of human exploitation. When they reluctantly granted us independence in 1957, it was not because of our daftness, but they saw in the Ghanaian that they were capable  of defending  all forms of  oppressors rule no matter who the leaders of our country are.  When  men  abdicated their God given rights  to be the protectors and providers for their families, and instead  chose  to make the  palm-wine  and “akpeteshie” bars as their homes, one woman,  Yaa Asantewaa, Queen mother of Edweso (Ejisu) rose up single handedly  to wage  war against the mighty imperialist Britain.

What has become of the Ghanaian after 65 years of independence that we have all resigned our fate to some 500 so called government functionalist to direct our lives as if we do not have any brains of our own?  Where in the world would a president of a nation tell them some individuals want to sponsor priests to Israel to pray for the nation without naming those individual sponsors?  Supposing these individuals have nothing to do with our almighty government of Ghana, should that involve the president?

Mr President, we have put up with lies for far too long and the time has come for us to demand proper accountability. (i) Could you publish for public scrutiny the names of all those who want to sponsor the pastors. (ii)  You will do well to let Ghanaians know the vocation of all these sponsors (iii) Could we know whether these sponsors have complied with their tax obligations to the state, in Europe they are supposed to have P21, can the same be said of these so called money bags of  Ghana. (iv) I would like to know what informed your decision to choose Israel. How about the Churches in Ghana? Is the President of Ghana telling Ghanaians that, God does not have the power of Omnipresence in Ghana?  (v) Mr President, do you see the double standards of your party? Not quite long ago your own party hierarchy was fighting against some Christian pastors because they took a Godly stand on the excesses of your party leaders. And lo and behold, it is the same God you want the Ghanaian believe you are sending men of God to go and meet in Israel.

As long as you are not the president of a country like South Africa where the people would never sit down and allow some opportunistic   politicians to take them for a ride, you will be safe to do whatever you like but one day this same God who is highly maligned by politicians in Ghana will speak. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well, a time has come and it is now that the LORD (God) will no longer be worshipped in the mountain nor in Jerusalem. In John 4: 24 the Bible says, “God is spirit and his worshippers must worship him in spirit and truth”. Mr President, God, because he is a Spirit, lives in Ghana too so if you need to be prayed for, for whatever reasons, there is true worshippers in Ghana who can do that for you.

Started Ghanamindset in 2011 purposely to help our Ghanaian society have a better view of appreciating that mediocrity has never built and develop any nation. We have this layback attitude that we always think,when something is going wrong, " I am not responsible to fix it". There are many instances that we could have applied common sense to tackle a situation but our laissez-faire attitude would let us walk past unconcerned. Born and educated in Ghana in 1952 and currently living in the UK.

    Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you very much, how we wish we Ghanaians will not allow politicians to let us see ourselves as enemies but rather children from the womb of one mother “Ama Ghana”. How we wish the bush will not be our loo,that schools will teach practical life skills…..that day we can enjoy the better way of life. It can only happen by our collective effort.

        Your comments are appreciated. We have only one Ghana but the obstacles and stumbling blocks are many. About 99.9% of all our problems are self inflicted but instead of unity to solve them, we have a monster of mentality that glorifies personalities instead of institutions capable of stemming the corruption eating our society alive.
        Thanks once again.
