It was Mao Tung, the Chinese leader, who once said, "I don't know economics but If I see a good economy I can tell you." Do African presidents orpolitical leaders want progress? I don't think so! Their attitudes and actions show that they don't. When I look at them I see people who are content with the status-quo. They don't want any progressive transformations of our society, they just want things to remain the way they are. Think about these: Do Ghanaian political leaders want to eliminate illiteracy, unemployment/underemployment and unproductive civil workers? Do they want to build infrastructures of roads, bridges, underground sewage system, school buildings, pipe-borne water, clinics, etc? I don't think so! If they really want these things for their people, I want to see a different attitude and action from them.

Kojo, I am aware of the group of Ghanaian university alumni who meet in the state. Yes, they stated that they wanted lecturers but the leader of the group, Kwame Adakwa, was very emphatic on the need for parking lots for Teck!... Parking lots for the university because some students drive their cars to school. How many students have cars? Are those pressing priority! When some people suggested that students who wanted a parking lot should be prepared to pay for it, he stated that they wanted it free. Then how do you recoup the cost of the investment in parking lot?Sometimes I feel like giving up on Ghana, because I think we have a bunch of visionless and unthinking people in positions of leadership. I don't want to say more on that issue because it drives me crazy.

Kojo, Ghanaians are all over the place. While many Ghanaians are doing odd jobs in oversea others are lucratively employed. Look, we have Ghanaians in every profession. But, you know what? I am not prepared to go back home and help in any thing. The fact is that I would be arguing and disagreeing with them all the time. So what is the point? I would be critical of their do-nothing attitude, fa ma oyame attitude, obroni-superior attitude, foreign input attitude, you name it. I will end here.Have a nice day. Fred
