ABOUT MY COUNTRY GHANA
Ghana is located in West Africa in the African continent. And it's shares board to the North Borkina Faso, to the West Côte d'Ivoire, to the East Togo and to the South the sea. Though our official language is English but all the countries around us speak French. Ghana is also known as the gate way to Africa because of our uniqueness as a country. Ghana was the first country in West Africa to gain independence in 1957 and we were ruled by the British. Our country and Nigeria is the only country that speaks English. We are about 35 million people in my country. And we have devided the country to 16 regions. Our capital town is Accra and it can be located at Greater Accra Region.And also we have about 38 different tribes in my country now. There more than thirty ethnic groups and tribs in Ghana but we all leave together peacefully.The things that made up our country is our flag, the name of my country, currency, coth of arm, the national anthem and others. Our currency is called cedis and it is the fourth most valuable currency in Africa. In 2019 Ghana became the fastest growing economy in the world. The next paragraphs I will show the reason why I love my country and things I love to see in my country.

And our security system is soo good and protecting it's citizens. Which others like to see my country Ghana.
Things I Love to See in My Country
In this world everything that have positive sometimes have some negative. I have said many good things about my country. But there are some of challenges as a nation. They include our poor educational system, poor leadership and corruption and poor lighting or energy systems.
Firstly, our major challenge is our leadership and corruption in our country. Though we have rich natural resources but since we don't have good leadership, it has become very difficult for us as a nation to utilize those resources. And greedy of some the leaders is killing the citizens. And I will like to see my country with good leadership and corruption free if possible. Secondary, every country needs education to build up and develop it. But in my country our major challenge is that we are still using old system of education and that is drawing us back. But the current government is doing everything possible to improve the nature of our education system. And I will like to see my country with modern education system.

Last but the least, one of our problem as nation is our energy systems. About ten years ago, our country enter into something called low shedding it was popularly known my country us Dumsor. This where by power or electric energy is being shared among the various towns in the country. Though our country supplies our near by countries with hydro electric power but my country has to improve in energy system.Today as I am speaking now we still have problem in our energy system. And I will like to see good and stable energy system in my country.
