HOW ARE THE MIGHTY IN GHANA FARING?


HOW ARE THE MIGHTY IN GHANA FARING?

Ghana is blessed not only with natural resources but also with mighty personalities.
Mother Ghana can today boast of having several mighty sons and daughters.
Her mighty sons and daughters are strong leaders in their various fields of endeavour.
Namely the clergy, erudite judges, astute politicians, brilliants academics and splendid royals.

But how are the mighty sons and daughters of Mother Ghana faring?
How on earth should some of our judges trade their wisdom and nobility for goats and bread.
Our clergymen and spiritual leaders, when did the Great Commission become Money Commission? Your salt and light is absent in our market centres, offices and homes.
You political leaders, how can you fight the menace of corruption in Ghana if you are still kissing kickbacks and using your political positions to promote your personal and partisan interests?

Why are our police officers become tax collectors on our highways?
When did Ghana Police Service become Ghana Revenue Authority?
Are taking monies for police bails and collecting road tolls part of civilized policing?

Some of our traditional leaders are trading their crowns and thrones for whiskey and pito.
Chief-who-is-who, why have you become a galamseyer, a shadow politician, and complicit in multiple sales of land and senseless conflicts?
Our brilliant academics, it is high time you stopped making noise about your qualifications.
Let your high academic portfolios purify the ills our ailing Ghana.
Why are you turning our educational institutions into political playgrounds?

Motherland Ghana is wailing.
Her mighty children are faring and failing badly in all fields of endeavour.
Badly in hypocrisy, corruption, nepotism, greed, injustice, oppression and wickedness!
