Are the majority of Ghanaians far-sighted enough to tell when they are being cheated? played on their intelligence and taken for fools? Based on empirical observations, I’m afraid not.
In Ghana today, and under the current democratic regime, a few leaders or personalities of political parties, in the name of partisan politics, astutely make more of the population believe otherwise. This is especially the case with NDC leaders who are always on the move to make the Ghanaian public see the evil about any policy or program initiated by President Nana Akufo-Addo and his NPP government.
The NDC has led many Ghanaians to believe that illegal surface and alluvial mining will create more jobs for the teeming unemployed, hence the destruction caused by mining to the nation’s ecology compared to to the jobs it creates. Mining is devastating the country’s water bodies, fertile and arable land and forests, but the NDC, lacking in power, does not care. Without water to drink, people will die. Without fertile land to cultivate for food production, people will starve and eventually die. Without forests to help precipitation, the nation’s land will turn into deserts leading to the deaths of people.
Every successful nation in this world has a well-developed human resource base, especially in this competitive global market. It is only formal education that can equip citizens with the knowledge necessary to develop the human resource base of their nation. Yet the NDC believes that providing impartial education to the people, equitably accessible to rich and poor, through free high school education (SHS), does not bode well for the nation and citizens. They capitalized on the unforeseen problems associated with any new innovation, as manifested in free SHS, but not exclusively, to mess up the program and have it killed.
Some Ghanaians who are not far-sighted and innovative enough but still wait for the white man to have documents and instructions, just like a child waits for his parents to be fed, clothed and taken care of for all their needs, agreed with the NDC to cut down the free SHS. These people do not know that they are harming themselves rather than causing the downfall of President Nana Akufo-Addo and his NPP government. This view is supported by the Akan adage, “the goat thinks it is disfiguring its owner’s wall by dragging its body through without really knowing that it is destroying its wool instead.”
There is a government innovation program designed with the aim of making Ghana self-sufficient in its food needs. This program is called “Planting for Food and Jobs”. There is another to fight unemployment in the country. It is called the “Body of Nation Builders”.
“The Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) program is a government initiative to tackle graduate unemployment in order to address social issues. The objective of the initiative will be to solve the delivery of public services in the areas of health, education, agriculture, technology, governance and stimulate the mobilization and collection of income ”
However, the NDC has succeeded in persuading many Ghanaians, including university professors and academics with doctorates, to continually denigrate the visionary policies and programs of President Nana Akufo-Addo and his NPP government.
When a firm decision was taken to clean up the financial sector, to close the microfinance and savings and credit institutions of the Ponzi scheme as well as to consolidate the insolvent but bankrupt banks that had become under the NDC government, the NDC began to oppose it. They promised to revive the closed financial institutions, to return the banks to their respective owners if they win the 2020 elections. Many Ghanaians fell in love with the stupidity of the NDC in this regard and therefore rushed to vote for them. during elections.
Until today, some Ghanaians believe that the Supreme Court, by applying the laws enshrined in the constitution, stipulated in the rules of procedure, established by precedents, etc., to resolve the 2020 presidential election petition , the court was biased. This is the view constantly, but shamefully and wrongly spread by the NDC which did not support its petition with evidence.
Isn’t it the NDC that drew up the most wicked and murderous plans to make Ghana precarious and ungovernable through armed robberies, arson, kidnappings, insults, etc. ? Are their plots not playing out in Ghana today as I write? However, are they not the same who accuse the president of weakness and therefore unsuitable for his post?
Instead of Ghanaians seeing how bad the NDC is for making Ghana difficult as it is right now, they instead praise them but blame the NPP government. Watch how NDC deputies behave in parliament with the intention of sabotaging President Nana Akufo-Addo and his government.
If Ghanaians were far-sighted enough, could they see that the NDCs are the cause of Ghana’s economic stagnation or woes? Does the NDC not support the ongoing armed robberies, the destruction of the country’s water bodies, the devastation of agricultural land, etc. ?
Ghanaians don’t see the value of the visionary president they have now until they lose him to come back in the future to say, “if we had known…”, but then it would be too late.
Ghanaians are advised to be wary of their actions to reduce their propensity to let certain politicians cheat on them all the time.
Does former President John Mahama have a vision to develop Ghana if he gets the chance to rule the country again? Isn’t his vision just to allow the offshoot of galamsey, microfinance institutions and banks from the Ponzi scheme and to create, loot and share debt payments by judgment?
I leave you to your conscience, all of you Ghanaians helping to sabotage President Nana Akufo-Addo’s visionary policies and programs to give him a bad name for ousting him and NPP from power, to inaugurate John Mahama and the NDC.
You only realize the president’s worth when he’s gone; then you bite your finger in regret.
