sometimes some people talk like they have no sense at all. You talk politics because your party is not in power.have you ever not noticed that it is not only NDC put all politicians who get in power in Ghana send their kids abroad to school? it is about time we the poor start thinking and telling the stupid uneducated politicians that they should help build our educational system. every politician will send his or her kids to school abroad. the sad things is , they are wasting our money. come here and see how useless their kids are and how stupidly they are wasting your taxes.

One of the greatest mistakes of African education in the past is that it has thought Africans to become Europeans instead of remaining Africans.
Being an African is never a curse or a disease, and the African student should be the least to feel bad about being part of this great family, Africa. Sir Gordon Guggisberg was emphatic on the matter, he outcried; "in future, our education will aim at making an African remain an African and taking interest in his own country." Let us all change our mentality and behaviour, unite and do things right and open a new chapter for Africanism.

Best comment so far. God bless you. I love Ghana and Africa. The best parts of the planet. But how can we reverse the current trend of affairs, where every Ghanaian wants to go abroad and when will Ghanaians respect equally anything associated with Ghana vs abroad?

its now time for Ghana to sanction those who leave the country for overseas for work on their return specially doctors and nurses. all these striking doctors were being sponsored by the Government, but as soon as they gay experience, they want to leave the country to work overseas. no matter how much offer, white man will never leaved his/her country to come and work in Ghana.

The Whiteman came here and took all we had. It's time to get back what belongs to us. Back you should use the golden opportunity to rebuild our dear motherland, Ghana. Just a thought.

What does this ideot also knew about education. What is his level of education. Is there any scientific basis for his argument. What is wrong in this country. Any ideot can make a noise and it taken seriously.

I'm surprised that he has only 14 albums over 30 good years. Perhaps he would have made ten times the number if he took advantage of the opportunities the Western World had to offer ... hahaha.

The maestro may sing in Twi but he does not play highlife; he's more oriented towards R&B, Afro-pop and reggae fusions.

Mr Kodjo Antwi {menewo bewo Akonnoba}a romanmtic album he made in twi meaning,We shall bring forth a bouncing baby,and others which made him very popular amongst women in Europe.What he said is quite true since there are many Educational intitutions in Ghana which do not cope with few job opennings in the country and the only altenative is to go wild to seek for adventure to satisfy the educational prowess you have achieved.This happened not only at this present time but also during the 1st Republic, Dr Kwame Nkumah,s time.

When somebody as a Ghanaian who stays in US as a taxi driver and in Ghana he is a musician talks about brain drain it is very unfortunate. Kojo Antwi himself is a big brain drain Ghanaian. He spends all his time in US as a tax driver and comes only to Ghana when he wants to promote his new released albums. Before he criticizes he must set an example for others to follow. I don't in anyway support or promote brain drain but it is very nonsense to hear somebody who himself is part of brain drain to come out and condemn it. Take even his style of music is a borrowed style from Alpha Blondy and some European and other jamaican musicians. What happened to our "Adwoa Music". Why can he sing our "Adwoa Music"? Is he not interested in our adwoa dance. Consider even his first album, he titled the album "MR MUSIC MAN". Is this title in our Twi language. Why didn't he choose a twi name for his album instead used English?. Again, why in some of his music he used English? Why borrowing the whiteman's language in your music? Are you not proud of our Twi language? Kojo Antwi must be the least to talk about brain drain because he doesn't himself portray our culture. Look his hair style, "dread lock". Is it how Ghanaians' hair is? His hair style is a borrowed style from Jamaica. Jamaica is not Ghana. He must have his hair short just as. Kwame Nkrumah used to have or Afro but not that borrowed Jamaican hair style. Be proud of Ghana first before you open your mouth.
