Has Ghana Independence lost its value?
Other | Tuesday 25th February 2014 | selasie
Ghana this year celebrates 57 years of independence from British colonialism. Like every year a group of young people meet around London to party, dance and drink. But where has the value of reflecting on culture and history gone?
Now, there are numerous events and promoters spend time organising parties just for the purpose of attracting a crowd to their event. Seems that no one cares anymore for taking this opportunity to discuss the former Gold Cost’s achievements and in which areas the country needs attention to progress.
It is all about partying, drinking, dancing and making videos to post on You Tube. Nothing wrong with this but shouldn’t we also consider involving young people in more serious discussion of their origins and what they could do to improve Ghana.
Boring and maybe not exciting to many but isn’t celebrating historic achievements exciting?
Ghana was the first of amongst British colonies to gain independence and since 1957 the country has developed and maintained a peaceful environment. But Ghana like other African countries still requires advances in its economy, technology and politics.
The young generation do not have any interest in serious discussion and they view Ghana Independence as another opportunity to just party.
What do you think regarding the events promoted to celebrate Ghanas Independence? Do you think this is just another opportunity to party hard?
