    who in Ghana is not primitive, starting from your mentality to the so called president. Just think and read all the comments in the forum and you will understand primitive we all are, including you and me

    Every human being is wise in the environment he or she lives. Cultural heritage is not primitive but civilisation. Don't tell me that being westernised is not primitive.
