Chale chale....enough of all this Nkrumah and Ghana Founding fathers debate. How does debating over Nkrumah reduce the price of fuel?
We love holding on to old things too much! The past is gone. Let's work together today and build our tomorrow.
I am not saying we shouldn't remember our history. History is good. But leaving for today is better. And planning for the future is the best!
How many times did we see or hear Americans debating about the role of George Washington and Co or Abraham Lincoln?
When you buy a Samsung Phone, TV or Fridge do you think about Sygman Rhee?
Have you heard the Germans cry over the role of Otto von Bismarck in their history before producing the Benz you love driving?
When you decide to choose the English Education over the Ghanaian system, did you for a second pause to think about Pytheas of Massalia?
But when you come to Ghana.....everyday Nkrumah this, Danquah that....Yaa Asantewaa this!
Always hanging and doting over the past. Go to Lorry Stations...you will see GPRTU "Book Men" always reminiscing their old days of driving Benz. But they don't have foko! We love celebrating the past at the expense of today and tomorrow.
Fellow Ghanaians as you chew chicken, pork or drink sobolo today to celebrate Nkrumah...pause for a sec and think about your current status and the future of contributing your quota to making our Nation greater and stronger!
Happy something something !
=D
