IT A SHAME TO CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY UNDER NEO-COLONIALISM

                                               By Evans Tawiah

Ghana, our mother land, will be 57 years since independence, and as usual, the whole country will take a day off to celebrate and reflect over the past and see how far we’ve come as a nation with her destiny in her own hands.

As the economist will put it, ‘all things been equal’, our freedom fighters left a lot wealth celebrating if those things were maintained and built upon. For instance, saying no to neo-colonialism by practicing and insisting on the spirit of sacrifice and love for country but, what did we and now see?

The leaders who took over after Nkrumah are just watch men employed by those who call us inferior human beings and because of that, they only do their best to satisfy their pay masters so they end up doing nothing or very little for Ghana.

Because our leaders after Nkrumah, especially the so called democratic governments, where and still not themselves, but working for and to the benefit of an invisible hands somewhere outside Africa, they are mostly unpatriotic and what would you expect from the youth whose only portion is the negative results the in-human practice of Neo-colonialism brings?

        

Every 6^th march, our media houses try to assess Ghana’s success as to whether we making progress  or not, but many at times, the issues turn to attack those gone and very little is said about contemporary leaders especially current governments and what they are doing to make our independence meaningful.

The meaning of been independent and the reality on the grounds in Ghana calls for national mourning and wailing in dark cloths with our hands on our heads. How can an independent nation a so-called sovereign state be practically ruled by outsiders?.

How can we sit here and allow foreigners to enact law for our executives who also have no option than to forward it to parliament to be passed into law like the GMO one? How can we celebrate Independence Day under coward leaders?.

‘When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me 1 Corinthians 13:11’ yes the bible is right majority of Ghanaians have lived in ignorance for too long thinking our country is been run by Ghanaians but if we will put away childhood mentality we will realised that our leaders are indeed watch-men for the very people our freedom fighters drove away.

After the over throw of the only bold Ghanaian president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, almost all external agreement between Ghana and the western world benefit the western world and none of our political parties I mean the two major once (NDC and NPP) have done anything about it and the way things are going, there is no hope they can change the order.

In Ghana today, there rule of law has changed into rule of lawyers when a big man steals state money, he will use as many as possible lawyers to go with the money, but let a poor man take just a penny you will see how fast the law will be applied.

Our political leaders travel everyday to oversee to see what is used to eliminate malaria, which is neatness but they come home with mosquito nets in their armpit, instead of putting measures in place to punish people who litter around, they ignore it to project re-election.

A country which is burnt on giving it young ones schooling instead of education, but the colonial masters give their people education which make their graduates a complete societal team player who can do something with their lives. The few Ghanaians who have practical solution to our problems are denied the opportunity to handle situations.

It is only in Ghana where people have certificates as engineers but can’t do anything practical with it the few who have practical knowledge are turned into readers by the system.

My people, if you will study our system carefully, you will realised that, the economy, the and everything in government no matter the party in power, is not in the hands of our country, but rather in the hands the Britton wood institutions who seek their interest before you and I.

These are some the truth our political elites will want to keep secret from you, and because they know the day you become aware, you will demonstrate against the system, like boycotting of this year’s independence day celebration. And that is exactly what this article is appealing to all Ghanaians to take a better look at what it takes to be an independent nation and see if ours is wealth celebrating.

Henry Kissinger a promoter of G.M.O and a former U.S state man, stated, “If you control oil, you control nations. If you control food,
you control people." A basic logic will tell you that the country called Ghana is not controlled by Ghanaians. Because by God’s grace, Ghana has oil and even the unborn baby knows that we Ghanaians are not in charge of the oil

Come to talk of food, the local food which we used to eat throughout the years, have now become a special food for a few rich men and the genetically modified for which the Americans feed their animals with are what the ordinary Ghanaian eat every day and as a result, sickness and diseases that used to be a permanent property of the western world, is now common in our villages.

      

Is this the Ghana Kwame Nkrumah and the others fought for? Do we look like a sovereign state? Are we not ashamed to call ourselves a free nation? Well majority are those who think our leaders are actually in charge of this country Ghana but the reality is a sorrowful one.

The freedom of Ghana is taken back through the back door, which is Neo-colonialism and we need to refight for independent and this year I wish you will send this message to anyone you know to put on black cloth on the 6^th of march to lawfully start the fight for freedom again

If a Ghanaian could write a bill like the G.M.O bill for its citizens then we are better of in the hands of the alien who physically left some 57 years ago but return through coward and greedy leaders.

Long leave Ghana; long leave the spirit of real Africanism.
