WHY AFRICA OR GHANA IS POOR?
Poor management of the Economy and the Country’s natural resources are the main challenges to the sustainability of Ghana’s socioeconomic development efforts,
One does not need to be told to realise what people are going through in order to put food on the table for their families. My point of view is we must consider the following as problem blocking our development in the country.
We have for example allowed foreigners, fronted by Ghanaians, to take over retail trading. Yet, the dos and don’ts of retail trading are explicitly spelt out in the laws of the country. We have done the same harm to our environment and had our sources of drinking water muddied through illegal mining.
Colonization and partitioning of Africa by Europe without regard for ethnic identities, Cultural colonialism eventually leads to the foreigners' ways of being regarded as the better way and being held in a higher esteem than previous indigenous ways.
Cultural Imperialism is the practice of artificially injecting the culture or language of one culture into another's sovereignty society.
Cultural colonialism eventually leads to the foreigners' ways of being regarded as the better way and being held in a higher esteem than previous indigenous ways.
These have led to indoctrination of African leaders into thinking the only way to develop are by trading with western nations. When we could be trading with ourselves, indoctrination of African people into thinking everything African is bad; everything western is good and poor tax systems inherited from our colonial masters.
