Prof, what you said is the true story. What we are witnessing the world over today is democrazy not democracy. They think democracy is all about just-us and not justice. They stole away the keys and are doing as they please. But for how long must the children be victimized? How long will this insanity go on? How long before someone realize we've been trekking wrong.

I agree with the Prof! Very well said. We do not really understand Democracy here in Ghana. A big shame unto our reasoning that 'majority will have their way, whilst the minority will have their say'. This is not right. We should revise our notes and know that the minority could be right some of the times. We should change our attitudes and save our Nation the agony of future implosion if we do not change our wrong ways

Well that could be interpreted as a failure on your part as a lecturer in Political Science. What are you teaching your students and what impact are your products making on Ghana's democracy? Your own pronouncements often have party political connotations and that doesn't help.

So then we need to reform the democracy. democracy as we practice it in Ghana seems to be losing at the world stage. Recently one EU official stated that it is no longer competitive in the global market. We have seen China Russia Malaysia and others make great strides, and they don practice what w call democracy. We are seeing others eg Ukraine rejecting such democracy to join non-democracy Russia. next week Scotland may split from UK and form their own republic. The current form of democracy is overdue for major servicing.
In fact the talking aspect of democracy is the least important. The important parts are accountability and representing the interests of the people. Talking does not do anything. How does talking solve Ebola? But rather fostering an educated population, and training and retaining medical experts. That can solve ebola.

I think the prof just nailed Ghana's problem right on the. Just consider what pertains on this forum where we are supposed to discuss ideas that will move our dear nation forward. No contributor who supports the current government ever concede that it's done any wrong while those opposed to the government never see any thing goo that it does. This is certainly not the way to build a great nation.

WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY AS A DRIVE TO INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY BY THE SO CALLED NOISY EDUCATED PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY TO BRING CHANGES, IMPROVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, WE WILL REMAIN BACKWARD,UNDERDEVELOPED AND POOR.
TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PRESSURE THE UNIVERSITIES, RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS AND THE EDUCATED APPOINTED TO HIGHER POSITIONS IN THE COUNTRY TO LIVE TO THE EXPECTATIONS WITH THEIR DEGREE TITLES.

i believe that after reading any book written by a pro the Ghanaian becomes an expert in the field overnight and thus warrants him/her to appear on any media to profess their nonsense.
and of course the readiness of the media to grant such persons the audience without vetting their background exacerbate the problem.

That is what is missing. All people want to do is to talk, go to work late, more talking and gossiping - blah blah blah blah - INSTEAD OF WORKING.
