The inquiry, "For what reason are you such a lot of worried about what happens in Ghana since you don't live there yet abroad?", has severally been presented to the essayist. Numerous Ghanaians who seem to be caring companions or foes have numerous a period asked Rockson Adofo, a local of Ghana, and explicitly the pleased and daring child of Kumawu, patrilineally, and Asiampa (Juaben - Ashanti), matrilineally, why he thinks often such a huge amount about issues influencing, or are pervasive, in Ghana?
They are of the perspective that Ghanaians and Africans living in Ghana, and Africa, separately, are of an alternate mindset; thinking contrastingly like, they live on an alternate planet many light years from the earth. That being the authentic case, for what reason should any serious individual living external Ghana in the socialized white man's nation stress over them as opposed to focusing on bettering your own life and the nation of your home, they contend?
My solution to them has forever been, "assuming the rear of your teeth is unpleasant, it is there that you lick" and regardless of how hard and best you attempt to absorb into the way of life and your embraced white man's country, your skin variety parts with you. You, as a singular individual of color, regardless of how very rich or learned you are, won't ever be agreed any obvious regard and acknowledgment by our white counterparts except if you are connected up with the all out development of Ghanaians in Ghana or individuals of color in Africa.
Until mainland Africans become commonly humanized, for what it's worth in the melody by Peter Tosh, "couldn't care less where you come from, for however long you are a person of color you are an African; regardless of your wealth, level of your schooling, status in the public eye, you won't be given the due regard and acknowledgment by a white man as long as most of your dark countrymen reason and act more terrible than their pet canines. This is my conviction consequently continuously trying to be worried about what happens in Ghana that should be smoothed out to cause my kin to act as levelheaded people to assist with bettering the country for their aggregate and overall interests.
