What more can one say? A classic case of a person out of touch with reality and real people. This is NOT AMERICA Jack, you better learn that fast and adapt.

I don't know what to say to you and what exactly makes the writer out of touch with reality. You are a perfect example of the illiterates Nyanteh made mention of in his article. Ghana will always be in reverse gear because of meat-heads like you (Amuna).

Except for the name-calling ("meat-heads),I'm with you. The writer interacted with everyday Ghanaians and enumerated everyday problems/issues faced by most Ghanaians. Yet Amina asks him to get real. What is Amina's "r ...

O-O,

Except for the name-calling ("meat-heads),I'm with you. The writer interacted with everyday Ghanaians and enumerated everyday problems/issues faced by most Ghanaians. Yet Amina asks him to get real. What is Amina's "reality"? This is NOT America, she says - learn fast and adapt. A classic case of what one might call "illiteracy of the semi-educated"! Oops! I'm resorting to name-calling. O-O, please don't cry for our folks at home. I believe you've heard this before: YE DEE SAA NA YE TE; WONTUMI NE YEN NTENA A, TU. That's how we are (behave), if you can't live with us, move out! That's Amina for you, massa.

The fact is, it is getting worse and worse. We did not have the problem of power outages, water shortages and many of the problems mentioned until the 80s.

Kwabena, I come three miles from Abura Dunkwa, and its pathetic to see what object poverty is when one always visits home. Recently I called the district head to ask him some few questions. What came out of his mouth is he is busy some where. You see our MP's are to be blamed. They are more concerned on their own than the society at large. Central Region is one of the poorest Regions in Ghana yet most of the time the region dictates the presidency.
Instead of the mp's using that clout to do something better they don't. So sad indeed.

Come home to solve problems with people like you? What you fail to realise is that it sometimes takes an outsider to point out your failures to you. People like you kokroko are used to the rotten system so you see nothing wrong with it. You refuse to admit the fact that there is so much potential in this country which if properly harnessed will put us at par with the likes of South Africa. Typical of a semi illiterate, everything to you is NPP/NDC. You can't even use your brains to think outside the box. Hopeless individual.

This is reality and that is why some asked how Free SHS solves this problem? That education is part of the problem it cannot be the panacea Capital needs to be used to address this problem. I also note that the areas mentioned are the NPP strong holds. They create the impression they do not have this kind of problem. We all do so we should all come together and work towards SOLUTIONS

Your kind of intellectual ignorance is what is keeping Ghana in the dark ages. If education can't be the panacea for social ills and national problems, what can? Across the globe, un-developed nations are revamping their education systems. The answer for this shift is pretty simple - to drive economic growth and transform their societies. Forget about the obsession with Free SHS. What we want is education for all. How the government is going to deliver this agenda remains to be seen. If you can't provide an education for all, we'll persist in our national ignorance. Your reasoning beggers belief. If you think that education for all Ghanaians isn't a solution to the many perennial issues facing Ghana, then you should stay where you are. We don't need you. You have no clue what an effective education system does for a society. Capital in the hands of a bunch of poor leaders is a terrible resource.

Well spoken Kwabena, ghanaians are ghanaians. I think they are satisfied with the lives they are living. You know bribery to ghanaians is like a river flowing to a sea because they don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe it's part of our DNA. Even my eleven years daughter knows that you have give sex to get ahead. It's very sad. It is like living in pit and can not get out. What a country? I hope that Prez Mahama will turn things around to create his legacy.

You sound like a parent who is raising a spoiled child, whatever the child do you appreciate. Wait until your NDC drench all the wealth in Ghana till you call your brother abroad to erect a small place for your twala

Until recently, I would have joined in the "Bueii" Bueeii" lament but not this time. You know why? The people you are lamenting for DO NOT REALISE HOW BAD IT IS!! Do you understand? To them it is the norm.
Until such time that they themselves realise to cry out, Mr writer, your artilces will only compound your sorrow. They are not even aware of What the Member of Parliament is for - a Representative of their community in Accra who has the ability to change things. Our SYSTEM does not make allowance for development of every sector of the economy.
It rather REWARDS constituents who lean on the Ruling party's side.
IF your MP does not belong to the governing party, TOUGH LUCK!!! that will be development through the window for you.
We could go on.

Try to help and educate and you would be termed " an Enemy of the State" by the same people you try to help.

You have done well to Highlight the issues, DO WHAT YOU CAN to help,
OK. All the Best

A very thoughtful observation of events on the ground. Anytime I go back home, I feel so sad about the rot around that I start to cry. Until our education system is drastically improved to the level of democratic nations, our people will have sight but no vision. Democracy and illiteracy do not match.

Our political system is broken
