Strong essay, Ghana-centered!
And so, in the current dispensation, we find Mr. Mahama and the rest of the NDC walking and hopping around, and wasting Ghana's time with "Silent Corruption" and perceived unfairness and imbalance of "social media".
But they want to increase taxes, from Zvarungu to Kumasi, to Accra.
What gives, Ghana?

Agyeman, you are right. We are all guilty one way or the other, either as active or passive participants. My question is what are our expectations of our leaders? None or very little? It's said that where much is given much is required. We ought to expect much from our leaders or we must abolish all leadership positions in Ghana. When the head moves the rest of the body follows but is it not also true that the decomposition of the fish starts from the head? The President, the cabinet. the parliament, the judiciary , the press must set the tone and direction this country needs to go and the rest of us will follow. They lead, we follow.Right now there is a leadership vacuum.Soon after the election the president should have brought all ghanaians from the political and tribal divide together and talked about what we stand to gain from being united and encourage through words and deeds to bring this about.What did we get? Continuation of the same old things that have led us where we are. It's NDC time. It may be NPP or CPP turn the next time around but nothing much is going to change. If we are sure we like the direction the nation is going then we do not need any change but if we don't like it then what are we doing about it?We cannot continue doing the same old things in the same old ways and expect we're going to have new and different results.Let's accept it if what's going on is acceptable but if it's unacceptable then let's reject it before it gets too late.We need pro active leadership now.

Well said, I can't disagree with you. All the points you made are on the right path. Our country is moving backward and all people know is NDC, NPP etc. We as a country have no projection plan for the next five yrs. The basic thing for HUMANS, can not be provided to the people. Water, electricity for production of goods and service is down, not forgetting roads. We need Talent management, or talent balance sheet to track strengths and liabilities of leaders. This will help us look ahead to a capacity projections. Our so call educated leader are acting like they have never been to school before or maybe our education system is bad. Chew and pour education system should be outlaw, and critical thinking should be put in place.

The educated elite have tried so hard to continue the colonialist system of exploitation. Just look at the so called "wise" judges/lawyers at the supreme court still in those colonial robes.
The mimickry of colonial structures has robed us of originality. There is too much faith in POLITICS--as the saviour of the country.
Look at the amount of time and resources the country is wasting just to decide which "thief" can be better suited for presidency--as if any of the two can do any good for the country.
But the divide and rule started by the colonialists fuels the tribal affiliations and the nonsense--so we can't have a rational debate.
Meanwhile--our gold, oil, diamonds are shipped away--and the so-called educated elite are spending their time and energy shouting and accusing one another.
But the imperialists are waiting in the wings. The next phase of colonialism is going to be worse than the former--because China and India have now joined in... the rape.
So sad that Africans are so rich in resources--but so poor. It is all in how we think...

When I look at these judges in their wigs and robes, they look sooo ugly. Somehow the black face does not look good in white wigs. Why can't they wear some decent Ghanaian dresses and still do their work well? Why can't we pick the good things from the white man but make sure we discard the bad and unnecessary ones like wigs and robes for lawyers?
I am also from the fifties and know things were far better when the country had fewer highly educated people. So we thought more educated people would make things even better and the country would become better. But look at where we are today? And there's no urgency to turn things around. Things are getting worse when they should be improving. And the educated are to blame. There are now more educated Ghanaians and people with PhDs more than ever. But we are still struggling even with our basic needs.
When oh when? Are we doomed forever?
This divisive politics is killing us. We spend too much time fighting each other when we should be seriously thinking of how to improve things for everybody. Everybody wants to be a parliamentarian or minister ONLY because of the easy means of wealth it will give you.
We must really start holding people responsible - especially the leaders from the president downwards. We must find means of making leadership a sacrificial job, and not a means for making money. Cut down the salaries and benefits of the leaders and make sure they are poor and see how many will want to become politicians!

In the early 50s during which time I was growing up as a child, a local folk musician called Akwasi Ayaa from a village then called 'Boni', currently called Behinase near Bekwai, Asnati, made a folk song which said "Akrakyefo mpaninfo, mo resee oman yi, oman yi bebo" To wit, "The so-called educated elite are destroying the country; the country will collapse."

For me the "Akrakyefo mpaninfo" impeding the progress and forward march of this woderful country,include all those seemingly intelligent people who are giving voice to the preposterous petition that has, all but brought this nation, to a stanstill under the guise of promoting justice and fairness in our electoral system. How can you possibly bring about justice and fairness into a system,when the methods you employ are tainted and calculated to do in your opponent?
I also belong to the 50`s generation and vividly remember my parents constantly emphazising the need to be TRUTHFUL in all our dealings at all times! Are our present leaders not trained in how best to engage the art of Deceit,and get away with it? Today the idea of scupples has no place in our lives,and We,collectively have glorified this notion of anything goes in this country!

That's true.Akrakyefo mpaninfo. They're supposed to know better because of their education, training and background. The President is the leader of this elite group. He must set the tone and direction this country needs to go. He appoints the IGP. He makes about 90% of appointments in Ghana. If we're mired in the deep mud then we must blame the leadership. Of course the president needs to get everybody on board so we can work together to achieve the president's plan. Where is the president's plan? He needs to set the tone and direction and we will follow.When he stops moving everybody and everything else comes to an abrupt stop.The president does not and cannot do all the job by himself but he is the facilitator-in-chief and needs the help of us all.What we don't need is a visionless,lazy , directionless and a self-centered presidency.

Many countries had their socioeconomic life destroyed because of their intellectuals who are not patriotic and rather prefer to be dolls of other countries. The vast majority of Ghanaian and African intellectuals are just puppets of the west without their own world outlook.
We you go into our own history you found out that Prof. Kofi Abrafa Busia and his colleague intellectuals are just puppets of the west without self esteem and dignity. When the issue comes to the African and therefore the Ghanaian women intellectuals it is no better because these are people who see themselves to be inferior to any body with a light skin.
What is dignifying in a woman minister of state who claims that we should be proud of ourselves as Negroes, but at the same time wears a white man's wig or a mixture of that with her hair. They claim that it is much easier to clean your body with your cloth on you. They claim that combing your natural hair everyday is more tedious than combing and tending your odor giving artificial hair.
All my children are women, yet I see African women presidents, ministers and business women as walking contradictions.
Now to another issue and we want to repeat here again that the majority of African intellectuals are just puppets.
It is labour that differentiate man from other animals. It is a fact that if man is deprived of labour that will be the beginning of his extinction, just as homosexuality is the beginning of the end of the human race.
My parents divorced when I was four years old and we were left in the village under the care of our aunt, or she happen to come to the house and saw the two of us, my brother and myself and took us to her house. There we meet six other children all of whom are older that us and all girls.
The first lesson I got to know there was never to complain whenever I was hungry. Just a few days after our stay in that house a pot was put on fire and it was boiling. I was looking at the pot to see and smell the scent of sweat potato. I was told you know there is stone on fire and it will never get cooked and you stop looking at the pot.
At eight I begun to make miniture traps with nimtree leaves. At nine I made my first catch with a trap made from the broom of coconut leaves. There was a time when my aunt was absent, thus we were made to fend for ourselves. Imagine if we are deprived of labour of any kind not for any other person but ourselves we should have been history by now.
That is why we caution our ministers and human rights lawyers to well define what is child labour and what is not child labour. Labour prevented man from extinction and is the prerequisite for socioeconomic development of man. Even drinking water and eating food is a form of labour because we human beings do not eat like animals do.
In the U.S. for instance a girl of fifteen years of age sets up a company and in Africa and Ghana we are being told by experts from the U.S. and Europe to keep our children from labour.
It is most unfortunate that most of what our presidents and ministers swallow hook, line and sinker do not make sense, or it is about the money we are given to deprive ourselves of the ability to labour?
