CHARITY OR WHATEVER IS YOUR REAL NAME. JUST THREE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.1) DID THE NPP PEOPLE ATTEND THE PARADE THIS MORNING? 2) DID YOU SEE THE SPECIAL FORCE IN ACTION. THEY KICK THE ASS OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND OPPOSITION POLITICIANS ARE SCARED OF THEM 3) IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING GOOD IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE YOU TAKEN A SHOWER TODAY BECAUSE YOU ARE SMELLING ALL OVER YOUR BODY.

As a nation we are still in our nappies and being bottle fed. Other countries who are as old as Ghana , for example South Korea etc have moved on are now grown-up and even Giants. Ghanaians need to ask themselves why.

56 years of growing up. Much as I feel your pain, we as Ghanaians still have much to cherish. Let's all put our hands on the oars and row in cadence. We are what we think. The good book says; as a man thinks, so is he. Let us all wish our country well in the midst of the storm and continue rowing till we reach the shore. May the spirit of the almighty infiltrate the secret domain of our leaders and influence them in their decision making. God bless Ghana and all that dwell within.

WE ARE GOING BACKWARDS, EVEN PORTABLE DRINKING WATER IS A BIG PROBLEM IN GHANA, ESPECIALLY THE CAPITAL ACCRA + "DUM SO DUM SO" ELECTRICITY.

EVERY YEAR THESE GOV'T OFFICIALS WOULD STAND AT INDEPENDENCE SQUARE, GET OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN TO SALUTE THEM; FOR WHAT? CORRUPTION, THIEVERY, INCOMPETENCE, "WOYOMISATION" ETC. AND THEREAFTER THESE STUPID GOV'T OFFICIALS WILL GO AWAY AND EAT, DRINK & SLEEP UNTIL THE FF; YEAR WITHOUT MAKING SURE BY THE NEXT YEAR THEY WOULD TRY TO ACCOMPLISH JUST A SINGLE THING FOR THE PEOPLE.

A SAD DAY FOR GHANA, PEOPLE SHOULD RATHER WEEP THAN MERRY.

IS GHANA TRULY INDEPENDENT?

THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE.

GHANA'S USELESS CLUELESS LEADERS HAVE AN AWFUL LOT TO LEARN FROM THE LATE HUGO CHAVEZ OF BLESSED MEMORY.

What is happiness about our independence day. 50years after independence we are still wallowing in poverty , darkness and confusion yet we have university graduates manning every sector of our economy. This is how far our useless university education has brought us.

I honestly appreciate your nice write ups about Ghana here Col. and allow me to say thank you so much. Our great man Osagyefo Kwame Nkrunah like the respected legend President Nuru of India did sacrificed their all including their time and lives for our freedoms.

To be honest with you, there is nothing happy about here in Ghana today to celebrate as an independent day.

Ghana had independence long before countries like Singapore, Malaysia and others. Ghana was one of the first among the three so called third world countries, India and Egypt that purchase atomic reactors. India and Egypt has hugely succeeded at least in military science, education, agriculture, medicine, railways, and many others. Can that be said of Ghana? I'm afraid, no.

The inspiring but deceptive inscriptions you read on our public transports and shops are seriously nothing but self motivations of our expectant believes that it shall be well. My question is at 56 years we still believe it shall be well, when?

Chief Lartey,

Sir,i appreciate your comments and understand the anguish you feel ;as a leader you would much more done for your people.
I must share with you that even in India,we have similar issues in our rural areas,where major portion of the
population resides,slogs and makes the country proud.My father took us out of our ancestral village to live in the town in early 1950's,when ever i visit my village,i feel sad that even now basic amenities are lacking.
Some of the major road blocks we face are huge corruption, lack of ownership & accountability among the elite politicians.
I still believe in the strong foundations that our forefathers laid.

I can see a huge Potential Energy in the country and people of Ghana. It will require the will and guidance of old soldiers like you to release the above energy and convert it into Kinetic energy. All the best.

Two Spark Plugs went to a bar on independence day,the bartender look at them and said are you here for trouble?
The Spark plugs smiled and said it's independence day and we are not here to start anything.

My father Anthony Agbeletey was only 18 when he was forced to join the Army.
He fought in the trenches of Burma Rangoon against the Japanese.
Its through this war that led the way for our soldiers to rebel against the Colonial powers for freedom
Sadly every movie that was played in Ghana only show white soldiers not black soldiers.
The movie the "bridge on the River Quai"only show white soldiers not black soldiers.
When will the colonial MASTERS honor our soldiers?

During my study of the military history,BURMA cAMPAIGN,Field Marshal Slim,had written about "the tough African soldier,who was more at home in the jungles then other soldiers"

Lt. Col Ravi Budhwar,
You are very right about all that you said. And i really appreciate all the good things that you indeed observed and realized in this country. Your Article was very informative especially about the few extras that you emphasized on the world war, the indian army and all that relating to our own Burma Camp. I can see your generations have been very loyal to their country which i am sure more than half of just an ordinary indian as well. Ghana indeed needs people like you in our forces.

I wish you a happy stay in this region and hope that you will enjoy Ghana to the fullest.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE TO YOU ALL
