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

  C/R: Assin Oboba Kokorowa Pupils Are Forced To Study In Dilapidated And Death Trap Building The fate of over 500 pupils at the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School in the Assin North District of the Central Region hangs in the balance as they learn under dilapidated structures. The the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School has not seen any major rehabilitation since its establishment in 1970s.
