I'm Ghanaian and I think this conversation is flawed. Firstly, I don't know where Jermaine gets the idea of tribes in Ghana not getting along.

Secondly, Rwanda and South Africa are obviously doing great even if their approach to growth is unique. We have to remember the history of Rwanda and South Africa and why that is shaping their mode of governance. I'd rather we celebrate all the countries doing well to serve as inspiration for the others rather than pitting these 3 great countries against each other.

Even to say Mandela didn't do anything is an insult because we must remember he was in power for 5years and gave power away. Education is free in South Africa for primary and secondary school. Free housing has been a policy that was even started in 1996 when Mandela was in power. The same constitution was drafted under the leadership of Nelson Mandela.

It's difficult for me to understand that someone who has some roots in Rwanda, cannot appreciate where that country comes from and not appreciate the progress made thus far, and how vulnerable they should be.

@Mari Jata because you accept mediocrity, that's the problem. We as Ghanaians fail to admit we are the problem. What stops us from changing our corrupt practice and be principled to uplift our country to be better. The frustrations in Ghana by our greedy actions can a potential entrepreneur's spirit. It's sad how we fail to ponder recognize the rippling effect of our actions on others and the entire country at large. I get so sad every time I observe how bad we treat our own people stifling progress and promoting poverty. In reality I have we comparing ourselves to other countries whether developed or underdeveloped because we have enormous opportunity to be the best there is with all our resources. We should steer our own development not looking at others at all

[@yawowusuansah2029]

@Mari Jata explain to me what mediocrity means other than accepting and praising low standard achievement, I am probably an illiterate then. I don't go wrong with my syntax and the fact that you think Ghanaians have high expectations when indeed its in their rights to demand for more than they are currently getting, they should be expecting more because we deserve better. Peace cannot be sustained when people are hungry and poor. And the poor and illiterates are easily manipulated to do the dirty works of the politician and the rich. What's the excuse that with all the resources in abundance we are far behind in improving the standard of living of our people? We are the luckiest nation in terms of resources yet we have failed the people by denying them equal opportunities to create wealth and prosper due to selfishness and greed the sheer propensity to Lord over others. Corruption is systematic because we as a people have made it so not being bold to say truth to power and condemning the act because we are cowards and delusional to even admit it when we commit it. My point is Ghanaians are right to expect more. It's the little expectations that has emboldened the politicians to underperform and are complacent to do much more than they are currently doing. We ought not to get a pass at our sorry state. I tell you the level of frustration experienced in the country is shockingly high because for someone with the traveling exposure that I have had and the enthusiasm I returned to start up something with the earnings I made and yet 2yrs on I only have regrets to show for because of lies and deceit of the people who didn't care that all the resources I and my partner pumped into the setup came to nothing simply because we wanted to do things the right way. I don't even blame the politicians that much because they come from the pool of the people hence the biggest problem is with us the people and these politicians are only a reflection of us. We have the right to demand than just the peace and freedom of speech we are enjoying. We ought demand of principles and equality and equal opportunity for all. It's not too much to ask so we don't have I high expectations, we deserve more than we are getting

[@yawowusuansah2029]

@Mari Jata to answer your question corruption is translated pr)y3 literally "decay" and I don't know the relevance of your question in our conversation but If your perception is that I'm not familiar with the language of my own mother tongue then you are dead wrong. I responded to your view that Ghanaians are in the wrong to have high expectations because to you our country it's better off in comparison to other African countries and that's the exhibition of appreciation of mediocrity, the standards to which Ghanaians should be satisfied. Nobody determines the standards other than the person who is affected that is my point. See I'm not even a fun of comparing ourselves to developed nations. Should some other person be the one to tell me I'm poor when I can hardly make ends meet? Should someone be the one to tell me my life is not better when I don't have access to proper health care, proper education, essential utility services like water and electricity, and equitable access to essential services? I made comparison to my life abroad and how it has drastically declined when I made the decision to return and invest home. My current state is not the fault of any politician but unscrupulous individuals who were more interested in getting something for their bellies with deception instead of being truthful. An there countless of these kind of people in the country. So no I like many others won't keep mute and accept things as we being better of when as a matter of fact a positive change in our attitude will improve our condition of life tremendously. I never mentioned anywhere in my submission that you condone corruption. I simply brought up the issue of corruption being the bane of our country's sorry state and to accept the current standards as we being better off is appreciation of mediocrity because we deserve far better. So you may read what I wrote again to understand my submission clearly

[@yawowusuansah2029]

@Mari Jata really, after everything I have expressed you need explanation as to why corruption is the bane of our underdevelopment?

As a South African, her comparison about South African townships to the Zongo's in Ghana is just a lie. Most Township's in SA have tarred roads, running water, sewage networks and electricity. She goes to one area and thinks that the rest of South Africa is like that, that's just myopic. Most South Africans don't live in the manner she's describing. It makes me question the credibility of most of what she says. The job things is not true. Townships are the same all over. The Mandela thing is correct though. Not all the engineers and doctors are white, most are black, the doctors I know are black, I've got 3 siblings who are all engineers, who are black. And no we don't say you are from Africa, we mention the country you are from! BEE was not introduced by Zuma, it was the president before him, Mbeki in 2003. Xenophobia was initiated by Somalians in South Africa, who were trying to get rid of their competition (Nigerians, Indians etc) with regards to Township stores, it did not originate from South Africans, the media reported lies. She sensationalises too much, which makes her credibility questionable. Try and get people who know their facts.

Your guest does not understand a difference between a township and a squattercamp (informal settlements)...since 94 when we gained independence a mere 26 years SA government has built over 3.5 million homes for the poor (without challenges brought by corruption and slow land reform this number could be greater) and recently started providing qualifying citizens with serviced stands (running water/electricity/sanitation). I will agree with her though that over 70% of farm land is owned by minorities but looking at total land most is owned by government and communal land by traditional leaders. SA is currently reviewing section 25 of constitution on land to speedy up land reform. The government offers free education to first degree this includes transportation and feeding schemes. The government runs one of the biggest if not the number 1 social grants system in Africa - child, pension, disability and foster care grants. SA offers free medical healthcare with clinics (mainly deal with family planning, chronic medications, child vaccinations and referrals for major issues) in every municipality/Metro and regional hospitals - due to being overburdened there are waiting lists however you would receive necessary help (oneday will touch on how illegal immigrants impact this system and taking advantage of SA constitution with regard to human rights..we cannot turn people back). We have challenges but we working on it and that start with killing corruption and returning rule of law. I was born and bred in a township...townships have advanced in comparable to late 80s & 90s due to a number of people being educated and working in corporate SA even in urban/suburbs majority residents remain black with exception of Cape town though that will change soon.

You can never in 50 years compare the social life of the lives of South African with your own, right now I have a 10 times better that it was in the 80,s. So which SA was this person in.

Just to put things in perspective i visited Rwanda few years ago, in rural Rwanda electricity can for over 24 hours in Botswana i was amazed there is an uproar when electricity is gone just for an hour, rural rwanda people who have no access to basic necessities like water, power & Botswana 88% of households are connected. Rwanda is 12 million & its GDP is equal to that of the capital of Botswana (Gaborone) yet Botswana is just 2 million & Gaborone alone uses more electricity that the whole of Rwanda per annum.

What matters isn’t staying on power for long time. It’s rather what you do for your people for that long time on power. We have seen that so- called African imported democracies , where at elections, thousands get killed, hundreds of thousands go in exile, etc... and after five years, nothing was done. Zero or minus. I would give you more that 10 examples， but it’s not my agenda to criticize countries here。 The cycle in Africa has been just a fight to get wealthy and leave the population at a lower lever of development than where they were before. Is that the democracy you wish for Rwanda? If so, then you don’t love Rwanda. We have chosen a unique and tailor made leadership and values that you won’t see anywhere in the world. Why? Because we crossed the worst moments in the last 75 years on the world, and we overcame the situation with no any intervention. Whether western or any other. I wish Kagame would reign another 50 years and then this lady can start comparing Rwanda and Ghana 😂

[@zinjanthropus322]

@@shango7942 that was true before the age of technology, even then vast empires were ruled by single individuals, now one person can see more than 10,000 people in the past. Besides, a cornerstone of good governance is decentralization, local decisions don't have to be made by the ruling entity, Africa is too large to be governed that way even by a group. Communities should built to be able to self govern, maintain and develop regardless of what's happening in the central government. That would be a system without a single point of failure. Decisions don't have to be funneled upwards to fill up the desks of a few officials and encourage corruption. Standards can be set on how things like contracts are awarded based on quality of past work, costs, speed and public necessity. Positions would be offered to officials on merit based on set criteria that guarantees that well educated and competent people are attracted to the opportunity. Most leadership should also not be term based but merit based, leaders should be kicked out and replaced the moment they are involved in corruption or proven to be incompetent. This would also eliminate voting based on tribe or religion which has destroyed so many countries and encouraged morally corrupt behaviour. The government should be run more like an army serving the people that a loose conglomerate of varying alliegences rife with political infighting, tribalism, corruption and foreign influences. Because we are made up of different peoples, it's easy for foreigners to infiltrate and turn groups against each other, especially in democratic systems.
