The Occupy Ghana Movement

It's amazing how those with nothing to lose are the scary ones when it comes to their rights. Ghanaians from all walks of life should occupy their parliament in Accra, regional commissioner's offices and even their ahenfie. No citizens of any nation in West Africa has suffered and continue to suffer more than Ghanaians, due to the lack of water, electricity, roads, jobs and even food.

Your political leaders and paramount chiefs are only concerned with their End of Service Benefits or the ability to sell stool lands and educate their children overseas whilst you people strive to make ends meet. Ghana is one of the richest countries in world, yet, food is unaffordable.

Many parents cannot even their kids to local schools due to high cost of tuition, yet your leaders and their chinchinga-loving women are partying like there is no tomorrow. The Ghanaman, who treated you badly and sent you packing overseas or some Arab country won't bat an eye by relinquishing their matrimonial bed for your sole comfort. Do you people have any shame at all?

This is a call to all of you to incite your lazy and clueless family members in Ghana who depend on your sweat to fight for themselves because Ghana's wealth does not belong to only the connected few. The Arab Spring is still in motion; whilst Massa is occupying North America, so what are you Negroes in the jungle waiting for?
