WE MUST FIND AFRICA SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS.

Attached is my picture and I would be glad if it could be used in creating my profile picture in my column. Thanks a lot.

I have been wondering why we have to always wait for International organizations like EU,IMF,World Bank among others to tell us the kind of solutions that must be applied to our problems.

It has been evidenced that we import everything including solutions. If we have listened to them in the past and yet nothing has changed about our developmental prospects, then it is time to change the the status quo.

I was greatly appalled when I heard the world bank said, we should stop capitalization of our oil industry so that the product will be left in the hands of the private individuals.

We have heard soo many of such reports from them that never worked. It is time we let them understand that whatever support they are giving us it is because we deserve it that is why we are been given that. If they will like to direct our affairs for us just because we are given some help, they must come again.

In the past, we were advised to privatize our water and gold, we did privatized our gold, what do we get out of it? Yearly we are left nothing, but destroyed forests, polluted water bodies, death traps, destroyed farms and lands.

We must not do that again, our black gold (oil) shouldn't be mortgaged on a silver platter for the sake of any policy think tank. We have the experts, many of the issues they raised, we know them. We don't need their expertise to get the needed solutions. What we lack is proactiveness, what we lack is a forward thinking leaders.

Africa is a sovereign continent, we know our problems better than others, how can we allow strangers to be proffering solutions to problems created by ourselves or within our environment?

Imagined water or electricity was privatized, how many ordinary Ghanaians could afford that? And yet that is what they have always called for. They sometimes make us believe that they have us at and yet their actions say different things?

It is high time we find Africa solutions to our Africa problems, we have what it takes to do it.

God has given us the brain to think and make it happen.undefined

We are the change we seek, the solutions we seek are right here with us.
