If young people don’t wake up, organize, vote wisely, demand better, and stop worshipping political parties, we will inherit a country built on excuses.
The grasshopper effect is real.
When a grasshopper is trapped in a jar long enough, it learns not to jump beyond the lid. Even when the lid is removed, it still jumps only as high as the limit it was taught.
That is what has happened to many of us in Ghana.
We complain about bad roads, floods, poor hospitals, weak schools, no jobs, and leaders who keep failing us. But the moment someone says the whole system must change, we start defending the same people and parties that helped keep us here.
A country rich in gold, cocoa, oil, land, talent, and hardworking people should not have citizens struggling to survive.
Ghana is not poor because God forgot us. Ghana is poor because we have accepted poor leadership, poor systems, poor planning, and poor accountability for too long.
The painful truth is many of us are not just victims of the problem. We have also become protectors of the problem.
Until we stop defending failure, nothing will change.
69 years, 33 years, two parties, we're still trapped in the same cycle.
Floods. Fires. Corruption. Nepotism. Unemployment. Brain drain.
We pray for change, complain about change, but rarely demand change. Blame game. Maybe we just don't care enough. Me included
Accra has been experiencing recurring floods since the early 1930s. Ghana is 69 years old and will celebrate 70 years of independence next year.
I’m not a prophet but next year by this time, I foresee Ghanaians sharing the same flood videos, asking the same questions and acting surprised all over again 👍🏾
Every year it rains. Every year Accra floods. We all know the main problems: choked gutters, poor drainage, building in waterways, and leaders who wait until disaster before talking.
But instead of fixing it before next year’s rain, someone will still find a way to blame the NDC. Ghana is 69 years old.
our politicians are single handedly destroying this country ,killing youth innovation , active participation in galamsey and water body destruction, won’t provide quality healthcare materials but look at their priorities passing of needless bills .
here is something most people do not know.
though the initial, official deadline for feedback has passed, the nita bill is still technically in the "public consultation phase" which means your formal submission is legally part of the process.
here is how to make your voice count beyond the timeline. 🧵
#StopTheNITABill #ReviewTheNITALaw
go to university
read IT related courses
pay school fees for 4yrs
get a certificate from the university
do your national service
after national service look for jobs
jobs say they need 4 years experience
start something for yourself using your IT skills
NITA says it’s illegal so come and pay them so the evaluate you and give you certificate to certify that you are an iT specialist.
think of doing remote IT jobs.
NITA says that’s illegal too because they haven’t certified you.
you start to wonder why you went to the university in the first place.
THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT NEED FIXING.
GALAMSEY
ELECTRICITY
WATER
TRANSPORT
FLOODING
BASIC EDUCATION
ETC
…all BASIC HUMAN AMENITIES BTW.
and yet where you direct your attention is on the young people desperately trying to make an honest living despite the terrible circumstances they’ve been thrown into
- SAME CIRCUMSTANCES YOU CAUSED BY THE WAY!
WHERE ARE OUR PRIORITIES? EI.
this country saps more and more of my soul out of my body everyday.
disgusting.
The signal that the NITA bill is sending to the very people who are building the tech ecosystem might end up damaging the very ecosystem it intends to regulate.
