Mahama, you cannot bridge that gap. Why? Because people like you who had wealthy families and are from the North(who had free education) always chose to stay at the South. Most Northners build mansions at the South, put businesses at the South. How do you expect the North to develop? Some educated MPs from the North hardly visit there to acquaint themselves with what is going on there. They go there when it is election time and they want to be voted for.
Northners who are put in positions to help develop the North end up Squandering it. How do you bridge the gap. Let us be truthful to ourselves.
Chieftaincy disputes at the North turns violent and so much destruction is done. Something very little can spark ethnic war.I can talk about Bawku,Yendi, Kokomba/Nanumba and many more. The South have similar problems but they do not turn that violent. How much money and time is spent on keeping the peace at the North. People who are posted to the North always look for opportunities to move South. I am one of such people who moved South. There should be intensive education among Northners about the effects of wars in their communities.
Is Mahama aware that students still study under trees and they usually don't have school supplies? How do you bridge the gap when students still go to school and study on the bare floor. Mahama, you can make those promises but you are playing politics or dreaming.

Parades are not needed anymore. Development should be our focus all along. Our engineering graduates can't even develop machines to manufacture needles.

I think its about time the use of school children as young as 5 sometimes for this long independence parade in this hot dry weather be stopped.
Yes, it can be argued of its usefulness by instilling some form of national pride and identity but i strongly believe they are many ways we can allow these young ones to meaningfully participate in this important celebration without endangering the life of a single child.

To suffer for event which has no meaning .

59 years is a long time.

We are still living in darkness,
We cant afford adequate potable water

A lot of youth without job.

Unfortunately, what President Nkrumah had in mind was disrupted by some few greedy bastard.

Our development has been nothing to brag about, comparing so many new nations born at the same time

I am not celebrating, because i don't see any reason.

Ghanaians have been impoverished to the extent that most of them are manourished and can't stand the least stress. It is even worse in the north despite the massive investments in SADA LEAP, GYEEDA etc.
