  I will tell you what's wrong with us: we don't have a sense of the collective, each one of us wants to be the big man, the center of attention, witness Jordan Ayew, Yaya Toure etc. Tribalism is rampant among us, we fail to realize that our country of origins (be it Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia etc.)is the only country "we're gonna have" therefore we have a common destiny so it makes more sense to see ourselves as Ghanaians or Nigerians than anything else. Also we don't take pride in our own cultures, our own religious traditions, we've embraced Islam and try to make it ours, it's not. Islam is anathema to Africa as much as Christianity is. In Nigeria the criminals of book haram are slaughtering their own black brothers and sisters in the name of an ideology that despises them, after all the Islamic hordes were the first to enslave us and to this day black people are mistreated in Egypt, Morocco, Lybia, in all the arab countries. There is nothing wrong with our religious beliefs, they reflect our way of understanding the world, unfortunately we trample on them. Once we start looking inward and rediscover our own genius only then we'll be able to live up to our potential until then except nothing else but rubbish!!!!!!!

  Good article...Dr, Otabil has the answer in one of his recent preaching...
  
  "You can never changed the preferences of people without changing their MINDSET.
  The 3 types of Mindsets are
  1) The Fixed Mind - Never accepts any information of change any progress
  2) Doubtful mind - That mind flickers and is unstable.
  3) Maturing Mind - The mind that is ready to accept changes, growth and progress."
  
  Mr. writer do you have a savings account towards the promotion of trans-generational prosperity? You have the symptons too if your answer is a NO

  WHAT IS THIS? No one should blame the coach if they exit the competition bcos this is demotivating.This is the best Black Stars performance ever for the past decade,but for the selfishness of Jordan in both Germany and USA matches,Ghana will be topping the group.
