Wow interesting article full of questions,well let me answer some of the questions as possible as I can.must of our fears goes back to military coup d'etat which rocks the country so many years promoting panic attacks in Ghanaians 2.our political parties which supposed to promote unity among Ghanaians have result into tribal prejudice even goes extra miles to equate our neighboring countries to make difference how some tribes share common ancestors with those in Ghana,if such a occur the people who are Ghanaians now see themselves attach to the other tribes who have chosen to belong to another country as their people and they may now lose the kind of love he/she has for Ghana alone.3.our media houses promote foreign culture more then Ghanaian own,especially Gtv which is pure the nation media prefer early mornings would showcase our neighbors native movies till evening. 4.our films actors prefer to dress like our neighbors as if our typical native dresses which has won many respect around the world is of no significant, some of then even a shame of speaking Ghanaian language or arting with local film actors.5.tribal promoting has become the order of the day among Ghanaians but they refuse to aspects it?these are some of things affecting Ghanaians onless there's reconciliation to go back to where we got it mixup....

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us on this difficult subject. Every point raised in your article is well observed and true. In 2003, I came into contact with a British national in Wa(Ghana) at a time she was already in Ghana for 1 year 6 months and had made a few Ghanaian 'friends'. According to her testimony all the Ghanaians that had befriended her were extremely helpful in many ways. They would offer her lift to work, cook for her, offered to wash her clothes, to took her to places, offerred her loads of gifts which included expensive kente clothes, and made sure she was never lonely. However, this lady returned to the UK with very negative idea about the Ghanaian hospitality. WHY?
This lady and her colleagues that served with VSO at the time alleged that although their Ghanaian friends offered assistance as stated above it was done without sincerity and didn't come out of their hearts. They were hospitable with the view of gaining something more than they were offering. On number of occasions some of these Ghanaian 'friends' resorted to stealing from these foreign nationals. Eg a laptop and a camera.
On the whole, most Ghanaians give service to others especially foreign nationals with expectations and subtle beggary.

What the author described are symptoms of tribal influences driving individual Ghanaian moral compass at home and abroad. For example, Ghanaians of previous generation did make foreigners within our midst feel at home and welcomed because morals and cultural norms were dictates of the time. Today most Ghanaians pretend to give a damn about foreigners because of the possibility of gaining friendships that may be their ticket out of this banana republic brought on by NPP and NDC political musical chairs opportunities.
Ghanaians in the Diaspora are even more so influenced by tribal foolishness that exists deep within. For example, how many parents and community members give a damn how a returning Ghanaian from abroad gained his/her presumed riches?; all that matters in our communities here in Ghana is that they came back rekatively rich. So a Ghanaian living an honest life and making an honest living abroad suffers societal humiliation upon a return visit to Ghana while a drug peddling and street level or corporate Ghanaian criminals return to Ghana to a heroes welcome by a society that see no evil, hear no evil and seek no answers because of a corrupt and morally contempt existence here in Ghana. These are the attributes that has driven returning Diasporans to lie, degrade or humiliate others with disregard for the truth about others. Simply put how many Ghanaians here in Ghana and on social media platforms and sites give a darn about moral existence when they can spend their "precious" time reading about a rich tramp or ignorant jokers otherwise known as stars or politicians? There are tribes in Ghana who are proud about their money-grubbing prowess; others are proud about their ability to con others to get rich while others use their tribal preferences and connections to get rich at the expense of society while the Fante folks could give a darn about others just as long as they get their bread, butter and tea or yam and sardines or corned beef. It's tribal foolishness period and not anything related to previous cultural requirement of welcoming strangers/visitors to our shores.

Am an obruni, salminga, salmiya, or batul, depending on where one is in Ghana. Ive spent much time in the and around the country with many interactions with local people. I have also studied at the university of Ghana in Accra. It seems there is a cultural aspect to some of the forms of hospitality and everything changes as a foreigner depending on which region you are in and who within that region you are interacting with. For example the Bono in Techiman and the Niger boys who change money near tamale station, also in techiman, treat me very differently, at least at first. The Fulani around the country and the Bimoba also have their differences in the way the are hospitable to a foreigner. Many foreigners that come to the country are tied to foreign capital and is it so wrong that those who are struggling try to take something? is it perhaps a form of attempted redistribution? The political parties have allowed for massive land grabbing by foreign companies for biofuels, for mining, or agriculture, sending locals who once lived with an abundance of land leave for the urban centers and end up in agblogbloshe or nima or medina even and try to hustle, whether its old electronics or sakawa or straight up cheating an obruni these people are caught in something bigger than themselves.
Another aspect of the whole thing is western cultural hegemony. Western values on TV - or indian now like veera, western values in the music, western values in the churches. Money, money, money, drop that Yam...creating social pressure to 'make it'. young frafra boys listening to shata wale who can only be described as COLO paaa, bringing values of money and women and things that arent going to bring a change to the economic status of Upper East. Churches that yak about getting money if you are a good person forgetting that Jesus what a non materialist. This is civil society, and its filled up with western nonsense that creates more competition in society less local cultural values such as hospitalty, or it changes the form of that hospitality to become something to seek financial gain.
These 'hospitable' values and other local values based of kin or community are a strong hold of cultural resistance to western individualism and liberal hegemony. Think far when considering it as an ill. It is the greed and senselessness of the foreigners who come to Ghana and take advantage of that, and it could be argued then they deserve to be cheated, charged more, sent in the wrong trotro, etc. When a foreigner comes and understands local customs and cultures, languages and mannerisms the respect and hospitable values become mutual. People in Ghana realize that foreigners are greedy and take advantage of people like that but still Ghanaians dont become hostile due to their incredible tolerance levels for other people; another attribute that should be commended. BUT i do feel at times Ghanaians should shame foreginers for behaving like barbarians when they come to a more culturally civilized nation(s). Also, stop aiding them when they are exploiting the country, the chinese would be helpless if the taxi drives said no to them, or the market women didn't sell to them, or they couldnt chop fufu and ab3nkwan, they could not continue. but ghanians fall to the influence of capital and sell out. a strong unified and organized movement from rural and urban hubs can make it happen and with social media today everyone can be reached. imagine, Taxis on strike to Chinese workers in Ghana. Just a single day, let everyone know, the people do have power to change their nation and dont have to simply rely on animal talk from politicians.

Hello Mr Adofo, you've hit the nail on the head with your article.
I'm wondering when we're going to teach our children how not to be overly respectful.
This reminds me of a former co-worker in Canada who always responded to questions from his white supervisors by saying " no please, or yes please". Dishing out too much respect will bring you down to the level of a slave.
