A prosperous and inclusive society, can never evolve overnight, in our homeland Ghana

The bald truth, dear critical-reader, is that a prosperous and inclusive society cannot evolve, overnight, in our homeland  Ghana, ever. Full stop.  What is possible, is gradually increasing national  wealth, made possible by local innovation. Simple. That is not rocket-science-comprehension,  koraaa, oooo, Ghanafuo. Full stop.

That is why some of us despise those who still don't get it that a wise and aspirational African people like us, must  never despair  -  because no matter how difficult things might get, temporarily, tailor-made local creative solutions, will always be  there, to enable our nation move forward again. Onyame entis3 Alata ni ooooo. Yoooooooo....

Why, for example,  do we always  blame governments-of-the-day, when our hatahata-currency loses ground against benchmark-currencies like the US dollar  -  when the bald truth  is that it is our foolish  love of imported products (for  which better made local alternatives are often  available),  which  fuels the trade imbalances mostly responsible for the Ghana cedis hatahataness, Ghanafuo? Haaba.

Furthermore, instead of allowing foreign criminals to come into our country, to destroy our priceless natural natural heritage, to  mine gold, significant proceeds from  which  then end up being funnelled overseas, in sundry canny stealth-money-laundering schemes, why do we not rather  incentivise our younger generations to take a leaf from the green wealth-creation-playbook, of Ghana's foremost green entrepreneur, Kofi Boakye-Yiadom's green business model: the creation of adventure parks that are  on-the-ground-bedrocked world-class for-profit-conservation businesses?

Furthermore, we must not forget that out of the galamsay disaster here, can also be found opportunities galore, to make  honest money  restoring poisoned  mined-out-land,  ditto in the  preservation of  the remainder of our nation's priceless green capital, ooooo, Ghanafuo. Zillions. Literally. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, ooooo...

Ghanafuo, surely, if we patronise locally made products more than we do imported foreign made products, will that not make a huge difference to our balance of payments  metrics - and consequently end up making the hatahata-cedi, strengthen a tad more, anaaa? Rome was not built in a day, ooooo. Yoooooo...

Finally,  let us now move rapidly to step out of the shadow of conventional economic thinking, and take steps to make Mother Ghana a poster-girl for no-holds-barred private-sector led  economic development, in which private sector entities, not taxpayers,  foot the bills for the modernisation and  expansion of our infrastructure, in return for owning maintaining, collecting and repatriating  accruing profits, 100 percent, for 30-year periods?

Will that not negate the need for governments-of-the-day,  to borrow zillions (from which our rent-seeking state-capture big-thieves-in-high-places, get their massive nokofio big-brown-envelope-kickbacks), anaaa, I ask?

Above all, it is said that poverty and democracy don't make good bedfellows. In that light, if digital bank accounts were opened by the Bank of Ghana, for all families in Ghana that request it, into which as part of a fresh-start generational-empowerment-initiative, levelling-up seed money (of 1 million Central Bank Digital Currency   cedis), is credited, for family homes to be built on compounds that are fruit forest gardens, in planned new green climate resilient communities with Ecoroad-networks, which are lined with fruit trees, would the GHc100 rent paid monthly, as installment payments towards paying off the entire cost of their family homes, within a 100-year time-frame, not be predictable-assured-revenues that governments-of-the-day could rely on, and utilise transparently,  for nation-building purposes, I ask? 

 

Finally, in light of all the above, if we genuinely remain committed to democracy, and private-sector sector led growth, then we must all understand clearly that  Rome was not built in a day  -  ditto that neither will a prosperous and inclusive society, ever evolve, overnight, literally, in our homeland  Ghana,  oooo, Ghanafuo.  Yoooooooo...
