Tribal-supremacist Politicians' Narrow-mindedness Rob Ghana's Younger Generation Of Their Future

We must aim to build a  Ghana in which all who work hard can realise their full potential -  regardless of the tribal antecedents of their Ghanaian citizenship.


It is for that reason that whenever I get the opportunity to interact with younger generation Ghanaians, I try and impress upon them   the importance of  not allowing  narrow-minded older-generation politicians  (from across the spectrum),  who lack the imagination to move our country to the next level, to deceive them.


They must not allow  such politicians  to  trick  them into  locking  themselves into  a mindset,  akin to imprisoning one's self in a dark single-room,  full of calcified-thinking,   and enclosed in four walls built out of  concrete blocks-of-prejudice.


What will take Ghana to the next level, is cutting-edge thinking by a leadership that understands clearly that Ghana must become a genuine meritocracy, in order to achieve its full potential.


The Kokofu-football troika-bedfellows   of  tribalism, nepotism  and inherited privilege, are the greatest enemies of meritocracy in Ghana.

The vast majority of educated young people in Ghana, simply  want to live in a well-run nation in which merit amply   rewards, and tribal considerations don't enter the equation in achieving success.


At all costs we must free our country  from the vice-like grip of  the  clever tribal-supremacist self-seekers,  who now dominate Ghanaian society - and are so incredibly powerful and influential within our political class.


To secure the younger generation's future, we must sideline   those hypocritical individuals whose  limiting narrow-mindedness  holds back our nation, so.


The negativity of their   thought processes -  based on a  world-view  mired in ancient tribal glories,  underpins their  endless scheming   to impose a parallel-system  dominated by today's descendants of our pre-colonial tribal societies' ruling elites,  on our modern African nation-state.


They must not be allowed to succeed in their aim. Their nation-wrecking goal is an affront to common decency. And, worse of all,  it  poses an existential threat to  our ethnically-diverse and united nation-state.


They must not be allowed  to break the  binding-bond of national unity, made possible by the fact that virtually all Ghana's extended family clans have been enriched by inter-tribal marriage.


We must not allow such negative individuals  to hold back Ghana's march forward,  as a united people striving to create a modern, liberal democratic society devoid of the evils spawned by tribalism  - one in which all who work hard can realise their full potential, regardless of the tribal antecedents of their Ghanaian citizenship.


We must end the impunity of the powerful and well-connected tribal-supremacist and elitist politicians, who think that somehow they are above the law.


No one in Ghana must  be  above the law,  if we truly want our nation to progress.


Rooting out such dangerous individuals from all the political parties in our homeland Ghana, is a must.


Tribal-supremacist politicians are worst than even the most dangerous of armed robbers - for the consequences of their narrow-mindedness rob Ghana's  younger generation of their future.
