Hot Question of the Day #4
This was my reply to a post regarding an American rapper building a school in Ghana.
When will Ghanaians/Africans stop celebrating these gestures as monumental achievements?
The amount that overfed and over-compensated officials spend to organize the jamboree will be enough to build a similar facility.
And what manner of Chiefs do we have in Africa today who cannot mobilize their people to solve basic problems in the community?
Should we not ask ourselves why we keep on electing reprobates into power, refuse to hold them accountable, only to beg foreigners for alms like demented cripples shamelessly.
We Africans should develop a sense of shame and stop being the world’s champion beggar and supplicant!
We should stop parading ourselves like mental cripples with no ability to take care of ourselves except by begging.
