Should We Not Vow To Make A Fresh Start As A People On Wednesday, March 6, 2019?

Sixty-two years ago, we finally managed to free ourselves from the jackboots, of the genteel but super-ruthless British occupiers, of our beautiful and well-endowed country. Sadly, however, the bitter truth is that unfortunately - as a result of being governed by a succession of mostly unimaginative and corrupt regimes - our homeland Ghana is still dependent on foreign aid.

Clearly, if we are to progress as a people, we must change the way we do things and become a more disciplined society. Above all, there is a desperate need for a new kind of politics - one anchored on the twin-bedrocks of high-principle and unalloyed selflessness. That ought to be obvious, to every Ghanaian who is discerning, and independent-minded, who truly loves his or her motherland.

The question is: Will our nation ever get to the stage when it is a well-governed, prosperous and self-reliant country, with a well-managed national economy - which no longer requires aid from foreign governments? Alas, the short and honest answer is that we are unlikely to attain that highly-desirous goal, any time soon.

How, dear reader, can our homeland Ghana ever be transformed into a prosperous and equitable society, when the nation's media world, our political parties, and Ghanaian officialdom, continue to be people - at the highest reaches - with so many morally bankrupt, greedy, dishonest and self-seeking individuals?

We must, as a wise and civilised African people, move quickly to repair Ghanaian society's threadbare moral fabric, if we are to ever move forward. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem o: asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa. Happy Independence Day anniversary to fellow Ghanaians everywhere, when that very special day comes. Perhaps the question we must ponder over is: Should we not vow to make a fresh start as a people, on Wednesday, March 6, 2019?
