We must also have a mind of our own.


Kwamebeba, I know you are fiercely Nkrumaistic, adherent to African personality, self-determination and self-reliance, but there are a host of things we can learn from others.
There's no question there's a lot the Norwagians can teach us: Their sense of equity & justice, peace waging, environmental literacy & sanitation, and future-focused role image. We need to befriend them and learn from them. And we can teach them the tropical sensibilities you have in mind.

Re: STUPID RUN AROUND VP I can't recall when what you are claiming happened, yet I remember this government announced it will study the Norwegian model and throw in some of the Trinidadian way to fashion Ghana's own guidelines for the oil industry. I

We must also have a mind of our own. Ghana is a tropical country with her own history and culture. We have to know what we want for ourselves before we should consider borrowing what is practised in other nations with different histories and culture. Why is tha

Re: We must also have a mind of our own. 50 years of innovation, what has come out of it? Bickering, tribalism, theft, etc. If you know how Norway distributes her wealth, you'll pray that we copy from them

Ghana will follow the Norwegian example What a noble idea! If Ghana could even achieve 50 percent of what Norway has done with its oil, that would be very commendable!
