Your understanding of education is suspect. For you to think that education is for job or work is totally backward.

The great Nelson Mandela said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." And in fact, if Ghana is going to be developed, not only do we need to have democracy but more importantly to educate the masses who can't read or understand anything.

This is oldman would not need anyone anymore to read his prescription for him and that alone is great. He would be able to read and understand what is going on around him.

Thanks.the oldman might even not need to work for anyone, and might be employing people to work for him. His education is a plus not only for a job, but understanding issues and contributing effectively towrds them as he is analysing brain drain and its effect now. Isn't it wonderful?

I wish I can go back to my Denkyira village to stay because I am hypertensive patient due to politics and tribalism but there are too many nocturnal noise making churches and mosque all over Ghana that will disturb my night sleep. Unfortunately, nobody enforces the laws to control these non tax paying noise makers. Even when the congregation is made up of only two people sitting on the first row pew, the pastors have to use loud
speakers to preach. Ignorantly, they don't know noise is a health hazard to even animals. When I was growing up in Ghana, churches did not usually make noise like that even on Sundays. Since when did God become deaf for them to shout before he or she can hear their prayers? The only normal quite nights you will have in Accra is when the Gas have their one-month ban on noise making in May each year prior to their Homowo festival. I think there should be noise control laws all year round across the country. The churches can put sound proof in their church buildings so that they can have the freedom to shout all they want. I can tolerate the mosquitos in Ghana to some extent but not the noise. This is the only reason why I chose to stay in the US.

Something is worry me,did Mahama declare himself as president? Why Asante Akyem people want to create bad history for themselves and their Children? All other tribes are watching, what they are doing now, people will do the same when Asante Akyem person become president. Why these people are like that,are they only them who Ghana belong to them.History tell us that, all the problem we are going through started by Asante Akyem people.Nkrumah was building University Asante Akyem people said is not good, Nkrumah was building Motor way Asante Akyem people said is not good, building Tema township Asante Akyem said is not good, building Advance Teacher, training college Asante Akyem said is not good, building Ghana international airport(Kotoka) Asante Akyem people said is not good,Tema harbor Asante Akyem said is not good, building Tema oil refinery Asante Akyem people said is not good, and above all is the akosombo dam these devils went America, London to mention but few and demonstrate against Kwame Nkrumah and eventually they sold kwame Nkrumah to CIA and 1966 they over threw NKRUMAH. Then Busia became the president,the only thing Busia did is to devalued Ghana cedis so that, he can pay his master.Busia put Ghana in economic problem for almost ten years.These Asante Akyem devils hav't accept any election in Ghana expect 2000.In 1951 these devils did not accept the election outcome even though it was white people who conduct that election.In 1960 these people did not accept the election out comes. In 1992 the same devil people did not accept the election results. Now the same devils are burning all the market in Ghana because Akofo Addo did not become president, these people do not care if the market belong to their own member what kind of devil behave these people are.In 2000 the same people imported dead bodies from Togo into Ghana in order to win election. So what these Asante Akyem devil people are doing do they think it will help them? Some of us are trying to become lectures do their children will be save in the politics they planting now? Okay we live to see

Please come again and proof me wrong.

Your English is equally bad like the person you are correcting. You wrote,
"Please come and proof me wrong".
For your information, the right word you should use is "prove" NOT "proof"

If employment is the ultimate of education,then you can think so shallowly.
So long as you don't control the universal employment industry you can please yourself.
