  It was not uncommon in the mid 2000s to hear ghanaians openly expressing their joy and optimism when finally the ailing economy began showing signs of recovery from many years of gross mismanagement. The word on the street was "Ghana has become like America. We can boast of everything they have in America." America wannabe. Really?
  Ghana can be anything we want it to be but only if we are prepared to work hard for its attainment . We worked hard for our political independence and we got it. After that we've mostly gone back to sleep. Our words are not backed by action. We can copy cat all the glamorous media events in the US but we must distinguish ourselves when we choose to rub shoulders with the best. None can begrudge us for being overly ambitious but ambitions must not end on the footstool of rhetoric. We must have class. What's preventing us from finding out from the Americans the details of how they've successfully organized their Grammy, Oscar, BET award nights over the years? If we cannot reinvent the wheel, if we cannot beat them at their own game can't we join them or are we also incapable of copying what already is in play? How long are we going to continue bathing in the river of mediocrity? How long must we walk blind when we have eyes that can see ? Why does the land of gold refuse to have the touch of gold in all our endeavors? Do we deserve the 3rd World tag? Maybe.
