Obviously,the intellectual ability of Ghanaians to perceive the imperceptible things can't be undermined.Now, Ghanaians have proven that they can really establish "what is there and not there" by looking through the perceptible spectacles. Recently, the long awaiting visit of the first African-American President of United States of America, Mr.Barack Obama, entered the shores of Ghana.It is an undisputable fact that his visit enhanced the joy which was engraved in every Ghanaian's heart.But could this change the perception of Ghanaians to see darkness even when there is light?Can anybody tell the reactions of our honourable Ex-Presidents Flt.Lt. J.J Rawlings and J.A Kuffour on that special day at the Auditorium of Accra International Conference Center?Did we watch the zeal and passion that our Ministers of State showed to the extent of Mobile coverage?
There is no doubt that the visitation of President Barack Obama has blessed Ghana and Africa as a continent but can this justify and render some of our Ministers blameless of doing what a layman will even find it hard to do.If it is true that our governmental officials are having such zeal and passion and could squeeze for space to shake hands of their co-human being,then, suggestion can only be made to them to show such zealous character in their work. Politicians should know well that the focus of Ghanaians has shifted from only politics to intellectual reasoning.For that matter,the attitude of telling lies, favoritism and nepotism should be the topic of yesterday but not today or future.I believe His Excellency President J.E.A Mills together with the ruling government will take a word from President Obama's speech.They should know that the presence of the US President came to fill a vacancy and his absence will even widen the magnitude of the vacancy and therefore, push the heap of problems upon the government.So, the earlier the problems are ironed out, the better. The perceptible analysis by Ghanaians over what all and sundry thought would go a long way to remove all our problems should not be downgraded.I solemnly suggest that such analysis is treated with much seriousness.
God bless Ghana, God bless Africa but remember "Aid is not the end to development".
