Can Ghanaians of substance change or be honest? No we can't. We despise honest people and worship dishonest men and women. Do you think our leaders can change from running our country like a private business with like minded chiefs, pastors, intellectuals and family being the only share holders. Ghana now is so deep in dishonesty and corruption that only a miracle can save this nation.

Our biggest problem is the Mahama's team of leaders. They are in the leadership just to help themselves with the nations resources. Create,Loot and share among themselves is real. An typical example is Woyome.
See GYEEDA,SUBAH,NSS and bus branding were institutions schemed to rip off the public purse by the NDC. Akk now we hear are teachers not being paid, Doctors not being paid. If you have siphoned all the money from the system, you will not have money to cover where money is needed.
It is time for change in Ghana otherwise NDC corruption will start killing us before our time.

What the Father said is the FACTS about our society. We go to Church from Monday to Sunday looking for salvation and forgiveness, but we have become the number one dishonest people on earth from the President to the one man Churches, to the Workers who haven't been paid for months, to the Chiefs selling the people's land to the Criminal Chinese to destroy our cocoa farms and drinking water just for a few cedi's are all dishonest. What we need is a change from the LEADERSHIP the President, our current president lies alot, including the judicial, BNI, the policemen and women,and Parliamentarians. Is about time we as a society stop our stupidities, and demand accountabilities from our elected officials, they work for "US" we don't work for them. Party politics and religion are making us ignorant in our own country and dishonest is killing us day in day out.

All these anti corruption social intervention programmes will not work until we work to change attitudes from the psychological front by promoting honesty. Locking people up changes nothing.

At the bottom of it all is selfishness which stems from scarcity consciousness. it is said that charity begins at home. Do we teach our children by example the values that are useful for building a nation? There are many of them but mostly isn't what we teach about the things that set us apart as superior people. In our families do we teach a spirit of love and compassion for each other? Do we teach our children excellence in how to treat each other and others outside? Government should improve how it provides for the people including making the internet more accessible for truthful Christian teachings.

The city miser was on his death bed, as his last request he asked to be alone with his lawyer, doctor, and priest. “I know I am going to die” he said ” and I would like to take my money with me, so I am going to give each of you $150,000 and I want you to each make sure the money gets in the coffin.” It was a few days after the funeral when the priest over flowing with guilt finally confided to the other two that he only put $100,000 back. “I’m glad you brought it up” said the doctor, “because I have also been feeling guilty, I only put $80,000 back.” “You people should be ashamed of yourselves” stormed the lawyer “stealing money like that, am I the only honest person here? Here look at this” he said pulling out his check book, “look I wrote out a check for the full $150,000!

It takes a white man to tell them they are dishonest before they see it and then we say we are independent. Our democracy is immature and fools /leaders are feeding off our misunderstanding of democracy. It's time the intelligentsia of society started saying enough is enough rather than waiting on a white man to tell them the obvious. Who introduced dishonesty into this country was it not the white man clothed in the garb of Christianity meanwhile aiming at stealing for cheap all we have

Yes, the Germans were able to make it to the top of the world because in the first place they were patriotic, meaning they understood primarily that it is their nation and thus there is the need to develop it. This mentality is not in Ghanaians because they are hypocrates who have surrounded themselves with things of God but they are not godly believers.

Secondly, the Americans who are not easily cited are the thorn in the flesh of Ghana but this is never noticed except with God's eye one can know it. They overthrew the most patriotic and committed leader Nkrumah and that caused us a lot but still when we talk of our problem we foolishly pretend to pinpoint USA as the major cause of our national woes.

Another point worth considering here is corruption. Love for one another is vanished among Ghanaians hence corruption had raken over the minds of the people who are to be together to develop the nation. Where is the value of their TIMES spenT in the worshipping centres? HYPOCRATES. Do really they learn about the characteristics of the God they claimed they worship? Of course NO. they have no HONESTY.

Finally there is no awareness in Ghana of what Technicaleducation could bring to the nation as all that they know is to be lawyers and doctors and other studies of humanities. Technical education which is the foundation of every nation's development is not much welcome by our so called educated guys who only disturd with the degrees they have and what universities they attended.

They only make references to the Asia Tigers and also some nations in Europe like the Germans without considering their great interest in Technical education. They respect Technical education, and this is what Nkrumah had and that there had not been any leader that had come and gone that develop Technical education in Ghana.

We should thank God that Mahama is the only one that had really shown great interest in Technical education with at least the conversion of the polytechnics to Technical universities of which I hope every one will help to make it work if we really want our references to those developed nations like South Korea, Singapore, India, China Germany etc sound good in the ears of the wise.

Nii, that is so true, but the problem of today's education in Ghana is the lack of basic education. Once upon a time a standard seven educated person could read, write and do basic maths. Today, even University students are having a hard time making sense when the write something. Kids today do not have the basics foundation to build on.

Honesty they say is the best policy. The lot of Ghanaians are dishonest to their daily doings with all people, especially those in politics. If they can defend truth will be better for all of Ghana.
