There is nothing like patriotism when you see leaders/politicians/MPs stealing all the money that should be used to develop the country. God will punish all the thieves.

On the back of thieving political looters, it's going to be an uphill task, when the looting is to make the political looters and their family and friends great and strong, whilst the generality of the citizenry suffer.
Because of incompetence and ineptitude coupled with looting, just to cite one example, the NHIS a social intervention program to address the health needs of the masses who cannot jet out of the country to access quality healthcare like the political looters and their family and friends, has collapsed, and they expect patriotism. That would be an ideal in lala land when political looters pilfer and plunder the national purse into oblivion to make them great and strong, at the expense of fair, transparent and equitable distribution of our vast resources. The NHIS is toast and the suicidal cash and carry system is now the order of the day.

Don`t be blind for NPP also looted the nation during the time of Kufour. Both NPP and NDC aren`t the political parties that could take the nation forward.

In Ghana patriotism is thrown out of window. Now, it's a matter of 'who cares'? No one cares about the country any more but him/herself. They like the white to develop it free.

Patriotism? What's that? People are more obsessed with showing how 'anglicized' they are. Oh damn, this is what our dear professor thinks?

Patriotism doesn't put food on the table, neither does it pay school fees. Even the political leaders are not demonstrating any patriotism, how do we tell the youth to do so? Those who took up arms and murdered many Ghanaians in the name of accountability are now the worst thieves. Patriotism is dead in Ghana. That Huudu Yaaya who you shared platform with, took Tamale Catering Rest House for virtually free.

"Abuse of trust and the rule of law, indiscipline, moral decadence, corruption, greed, selfishness, intolerance, apathy, inequality, poverty, violence, tribalism, cronyism, nepotism, discrimination and abuse of patriotism are in collusion to erode the priceless leadership, the founding fathers of our nations, bequeathed to us for our march for better quality of life and to our common inevitable destiny, irrespective of our ethnic origin, rank, political affiliation or gender" --- Dr Robert K Glah

Prof,Ghana' s economic problems are not caused by politians alone.The acadamia is the worse culprit .Ghanians are also architects of what is happening with the economy. Example, with these interleclials
in government no one knew the Brizilian law
Which is hitting hard at money sent to the black stars.
Ghanians we are too noisy. Let's do away with NDC. AND NPP and do something
