Nice pictures. However, the organizers should have covered the scaffolds with Ghana flag or white clothes. All good though.

Good Observation! That was the first thing that came to my mind as well. The scaffolds with TV cameramen on it were in stark contrast to the magnificent arch and spectators stands behind. I would rather prefer the blue and yellwo stripes as depicted on top of the president's podium with our coat of arms in the middle to the flag colours which is all over the place though. Maybe for security reasons they kept it open - who knows?!! Kudos!

Oh Ghana! How come our dignitaries are so old or showing signs of old age?

What are we telling the world? We are not grooming any young ones to take over? That is where all the corruption starts, because all these old politicians don't want to retire, so the young ones have no hope of ever getting any where before they die.

Retire all these old men and women and bring in some young and vibrant ones. But the word of caution is, they must be knowledgeable . Some of the faces I see in those pictures are faces I used to see in the 60s and 70s. They are simply tired. Haba! Ghana!...lol

I don't think corruption has anything to do with their age,there are a lot of the young ones who are more corrupt than the old ones,the young ones come there to make quick money,they join politics to get rich.

I'm just wondering why the president was using a Toyota Camry,what a moderation and the guy around him whether is security or not holding a radio on the hand instead of on his body and wearing some weird shoe,may be one of the so called made in Ghana shoes,the black ones were sold out,lol.

Corney I guess I should blame myself for not making myself very clear. What I really intended to portray was, because the old men are not retiring the few young ones who are in their mist are stealing left right center because they know they have no future. I hope that makes some sense to you and other readers.

Guess what? I am with you on the prez's body guard or who ever or what ever that guy is. Why those awkward shoes? Please at least a pair of black Payless shoes would have been much better, you know Ghana has a branch of Payless shoes right?

Agree,Al Hajj but can't stop laughing about the shoe comment.
I think some of us have dressing problem in Ghana.

You are an idiot. Tell your mother I said you are a big idiot and she should cry out loud for giving birth to you.

Tell me, how long was Ghana colonized? And tell me, what did the colonizer achieved for the then gold coast (Ghana) aside from exploitation of our resources (human and natural resources)?

Aboa like you.

You sound irrational; corruption can affect the rather younger ones who want be having the big things older people have without having to work for long years. Get rich quick is the is the cause of corruption. There are young ones understudying the older ones. Get closer and you will see and stop criticising blindly. Appreciate the beauty of old age.

in fact all our soliders know is to abuse people and beat them up and even shake them for bribes.
Ghana army is not capable to defend the mother land from any enemy

These empty heads from multi-parties can join together to celebrate national independence day but can't join together to fix or solve national issues?

Bunch of visionless pot-bellians.
