87% OF GHANAIAN YOUTH LONGING TO FLEE THE COUNTRY TO ABROAD FOR GREENER PASTURES DUE TO STINKING ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS..... Boad William, EGS Boss



87% OF GHANAIAN YOUTH LONGING TO FLEE THE COUNTRY TO ABROAD FOR GREENER PASTURES DUE TO STINKING  ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS..... Boad William, EGS Boss.



A whooping percentage of 87 out of 100 of Ghanaian youth want to travel abroad for greener pastures due to the economic hardships amongst others in our country Ghana.

 During a research conducted by me and my team of the EGS fraternity, an interaction was held with a cross- section of the youth across the length and breath of the country and according to the youth of  Bantama, Otrokper, Akumadan, Techiman, Dansoman, Bubuashie,  Twifo Praso, Bankama, Jasikan, Nzulezu, New Abirem, Afosu, Akim-Oda, Ayirebi, Ningo Prampram amongst other northern towns and cities,  most of the youth expressed stinking sentiments saying that it seems they are not proud and justified to be called Ghanaians. One youth, named Jerome made a worrying remark ; " we walk in our own God-given country as if we were suspects simply because of the misdemeanor of our so called political leaders ". He added [ that] it is time they traveled abroad to join their friends who have manuvered  their way out of the country. For some of the youth, they do not care about the ensuing consequences as to whether they would walk for long hours and days, weeks or even months through the desert to obtain that which will sustain their lives .

 Most Ghanaian leaders from both sides of the two dominant  parties, the NDC and the NPP, some of the youth remarked are just but go-getters determined to enrich themselves , their families and friends at local expense and this speaks volumes of our broken economy.
Ghanaian political leaders for want of a better expression are not in the knowledge , that, God has blessed us with everything needed to succeed as a country. The rather unfortunate thing is that the leaders always think about how to win elections and nothing more .

 Fellow countrymen and countrywomen, in honest hands, if this percentage of the youth should travel outside instead of helping to build Ghana, what will happen aftermath? It is not lost on you and me who are citizens of this country to know what the youth of every nation represents. Ghana's future is in ruin and I seek to send a solemn word to the first gentleman of our country through the minister for youth to act swiftly.

 Truth be told , the youth are not lazy. Most of them are really ready to farm and do other jobs but there's no support. Due to bad roads in Ghana, farmers' farm produce  always get rotten. By this ,  the youth are discouraged and scared to venture into meaningful farming. No better conditions for the  youth in farming so some of them are compelled  to be party footsoldiers doing the dirty works for our party gurus just for a mere pittance. The story is sad to tell and retell . 

 As a youth activist and looking at the existential situation, I implore our leaders to be patriotic enough to transform Ghana now because Ghana  is not poor(just that most Ghanaians are poor). We have every resource to self- develop our nation but it seems the way we as citizens elect anybody just because of the depth and size of his or her pocket give birth to non-patriotic leaders born of no positive attitudes towards  the affairs of the country.

 Fellow Ghanaians, it behooves us, this election year, to be exceeeingly considerate and circumspect going to the ballot box. Let no one bow so low to a bag of rice, 50.00, frytol, T'rolls and the likes from some greedy politicians.We should vote for real leaders not the sponsored rich candidates.

 Let's be citizens of Ghana not party bootlickers.

 I'm a citizen of Ghana not a spectator. Ghana first.

 Signed

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP. In res...

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah

  Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah The Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and renowned economist, Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, has cautioned the government to exercise restraint in addressing illegal mining activities, popularly known as "galamsey." Dr. Mensah warned that hasty actions, driven by calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), could lead to substantial judgement debts. "Many Ghanaians are advocating for drastic measures, including 'shoot and kill' operations and burning excavators at galamsey sites, under the guise of executive directives, which lack legal backing," Dr. Mensah said. While acknowledging the need to stop illegal mining, Dr. Mensah emphasized that such actions must be grounded in law to achieve their intended purpose. "The government must not forget that foreign and local mining firms with prospective mining licenses from the Ministry o...
