Will Nkrumah Be Happy With Ghana Today ; Should I come back to Ghana from graduate school Abroad
Inspired by Dr.Kholinar
As we approach 21st September; Kwame Nkrumah memorial day, I want to throw some very challenging questions to us all.
For the sake of foreign readers, Dr. Kwame Kwame was the first president of the Republic of Ghana. He is one of the few who lead the country to independence from colonial rule. We Ghanaians and the entire world celebrate his birth on the 21st of every September for the numerous accomplishment he has incurred for himself and the country.

But my argument this evening is that, will Nkrumah be happy with the Ghana he left us with?
When Nkrumah built the first Ghana National College, he told the students to think and that the country needs thinkers. Thinkers of great thoughts and ideas. He mentioned what the students should do. The country wants doers. Doers of great and wonderful deeds. Nkrumah posed a very serious question to the students.
Of what use is your education if you can't help your country in its time of need?
This is a very solid question right?. I can predict that Nkrumah will be disgraced with himself if he sees the Ghana we have as of today. The country we have today won't even give the chance to graduate students so that they can help in the upbringing of the country. The country is constantly making students lose interest in the affairs of the country
Should I come back to Ghana? Will I even get a stable job there? These are questions a friend of mine in Computer Engineering school in Cuba asked me. The mere fact that he has doubts concerning his return is an indication that the country is falling apart, its is becoming sixes and sevens.
Is there hope? Yes, there is. The old order should change and yield place to new. It is a cycle of life. The leaders should before God and the numerous gods and deities accept to go on retirement when the need arises and avoid putting square pegs in round roles.
To continue in Nkrumah's steps and actualize his great dream, all Ghanaians must be selfless. Let's work together to make our nation great and strong.
A wise man once said; We are involved.

Bro, you shared with us very relevant information. I'm even learning more about our country through this content. And for truthfully, many students are losing interest as a result of alarming rate of unemployment. I'm happy to come across thist post.
The issue is very alarming and surprisingly the leadership of the country is not doing any serious thing about . President Akuffo Addo’s initiate to do home coming months ago was good but I don’t think it should end just there. Ministry of education, foreign affairs and tourism can do more
Ghana can do more: I always admire Rwanda for their progress and development seriously
it's unfortunate that we don't have any selfless leader now, perhaps there is one that I don't know about, how do we progress as a nation with bunch of selfish leaders
It’s so sad bro. Hmm
Great you've made us ponder on some of the ideas of Nkrumah,,,Hopefully our attitudes as a country will match Nkrumash's Idea..
When that day comes, you and I will see the great developments that will occur in this country
Until then hmmm, let’s pray our leaders grow to be selfless 🥺
