Very recently, i was watching TV. i saw flood victims in Northern Ghana and i must say i was crestfallen but one thing gave me a lot of hope-Ghanaians from across the country were pouring donations in. I was very happy that we didn't wait for some international organisation to send us maize and rice but we took up the challenge first. that is what we all are supposed to do for each other! we depend on the west for everything when we could easily do everything for ourselves and by ourselves. i heard on the news that a presidential hopeful in Ghana had raised well over $100,000 at a single fund raising ceremony and i was totally awed. that is in the millions when you talk about Ghana cedis. so it tells me that we have the money to do what we want to do. its just that we are more than ready to spend on selfish things than on helping the sick, the homeless, the poor etc. i believe that no one is going to solve Africa's problems for African do it themselves. i mean we can get all the aids we want but until we put our act together and discipline ourselves, we won't know how to spend the money we get. Africa is coming though and i entreat all who think we will never make it to to review their perceptions.we are going to cause a lot of things to happen! when i say WE, i mean every single person so if you are an African reading this, remember that you have a duty to perform so get started!
