  While it is a fact that Ghana is 58 after independence, it is equally a fact, and a shameful one of course, that all the subsequent governments the country has had after independence have shown no purposeful interest in the economy of the Western region itself, let alone its newly named capital of Takoradi by the Accra-base politicians and journalists after literally erasing Sekondi's name off the regional map. They just have no clue to finding any solution to the country's economic woes. All they can do is to continue messing it up and turning round to blame one another. And believe it or not, until this country gets a leadership that will make the Western region a base in a properly structured economic plan, Ghana will continue to struggle, even if the nation becomes as oil-rich as Saudi Arabia.
  Just consider how desolate our exiting railway network has become resulting in the deterioration of the vibrant forest area economy that used to rely on it.
  Time and space will not allow me to list the areas of the economy where the nation has experienced destruction leading to mass unemployment, rocketing cost of living and one of the lowest living standards in Africa, not to mention the fast increasing crime rate. What a shame for a small country with such a small population.
  We really need to sit down and re-examine ourselves. This is not good for Ghana, and it can't be any good for Africa nor the Black race. Come on!
