• Prudhomme - Ghanaians are unintelligent 1 day ago

  Very articulated post balnacing the blame on both large parties.
  
  They must grow sensible enough to set guardrails for constructive criticisms.
  
  Thanks.

  This, coming from an NDC guy, is excellent. We need people who will speak up against the ills of society, irrespective of their political alignment. I hope your party people don't 'kill' you... Hahahahaha

  This is well articulated, coming from internationally recognised Professor, and an NDC member. These are the kind of intellectual write ups that we need for relevant education
  Bravo, Prof. Wutor.

  I hope they are listening. I hardly tune into any radio station these days because of insults and heckling. We are a bad example for our children and the earlier we stop this behaviour, the better. Ghana does not deserve this ...

  Unlike others who seem to be in support of your article, I beg to differ. "The Ghana that our children will inherit will be shaped by the tone we set today", you write. While tone may play a factor in the shaping of a nation, that impact is often very minimal compared to other factors that contribute to the shaping of a nation. Ghana's children are inheriting a nation shaped by political and business thievery, corruption, mismanagement and lack of vision.
  
  When politicians get into office and pretend to be good Christians and good Muslims while possessing double tongues and more hands than one finds on an octopus, the Ghana that our children will inherit will be shaped by hypocrisy, corruption and bad leadership. The politics of insults, though abominable, isn't the cycle that's keeping Ghana stuck. The biggest impediment for Ghana's positive forward march has nothing to do with insults but rather a lot to do with uncontrollable corruption, gross incompetence, hypocrisy, and a lack of vision among the nation's many leaders, both the elected and appointed ones. To compound matters, in a country where far too many are struggling to feed their children or make it to work, the last thing on the minds of voters is to keep their elected officials in check. That then gives the thieving political liars and their crooked business cronies enough room to loot, mismanage or misuse government power to abuse their political opponents with impunity till voters finally wake up and decide to vote the bastards out of office.
  
  In addition to the woes of rampant corruption, lack of visionary leaders, lack of prudent long term planning, there's also the unspeakable issue of brain drain. Far too many of Ghana's brilliant minds are scattered across many countries, many of who left either for greener pastures or just out of frustration with a system that doesn't appear to be functioning the way it ought to, and that's not healthy for any developing nation wanting to advance itself. Brain drain is a silent destroyer of Ghana's meaningful development, yet most folks will rather not talk about it because there doesn't appear to be any way of filling that exit hole any time soon.
  
  It helps to educate the public about holding elected and public officials accountable at all times, not just during election time. That can only be achieved if Ghana's media moves away from meaningless coverage of quack religious clowns and instead have journalist post regular articles about what is going on within the various branches of government so that the public can become well-informed and be able to speak out when their leaders aren't running the country the way it ought to be ran. A nation with poor information will always have its people languishing in the dark while the thieving political liars and their crooked cronies have a field day looting and mismanaging the country. Who needs a centre for civic education when the real need is having a media that constantly reports on matters that will enlighten the public so that this public will have the information needed to help it hold its leaders accountable?
