Ghana set the precedence for several African Countries earlier in the mid-nineties. As the first African country to gain independence we showed so much promise and prospects. The Gold Coast suddenly became the pride of the continent ….

 Now fast forward .. I dunno.. lets say fifty years___! What can we boast of being now … African soccer Champions? The Gold Capital? Cocoa Supremacy?

It’s a shame how dreams come tumbling down without the starting architect presence to direct the flow of events. Yes, there have been minor developments and some move forward in various sectors and NO!, the nation hasn’t been stagnant for all these decades, but HOW MUCH success can we boast of here?

Its been over 50 years and we are still Importing Matchsticks from Europe and China so no, I’m not looking forward to the next ten years with much hope and NO!, I’m not holding my breath for the production of the next fully Ghanaian made beat box.

             In a country where the national leaders won’t protect the integrity and hop of local industries, What hope can I perceive??
Anyone can import anything to sell and make profit .. hence destroying the prospects of local businesses who cant kept up against foreign giants with huge economic advantage and reduced production cost. You don’t have to be a business expert to see the effect of such an act. Nkrumah would be so disappointed. His legacy would have been lost.
