Over the past 50 plus years, our dear country Ghana has been going backward while all the other countries it started out with have made progress for the benefit of their peoples.

Ghana's leadership, after 1966, has been abysmal. The result of bad leadership; poor or no policies and the absence of rule of law. We thus find our dear motherland in a sad state with poor healthcare, poor education, schools without buildings, no jobs for the educated much less the uneducated. Our children, brothers and sisters risk their lives for menial jobs and  unspeakable abuses in foreign lands.

Many people in the world believe that if Ghana had continued on the path Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had laid out, Ghanaians would be among the most prosperous people in the world today. The good news is that it is not too late. We Ghanaians can still do a lot in reasonable time to make Ghana a better place for us all in spite of ongoing, deliberate attempts to destroy the laudable accomplishments of Dr. Nkrumah.

Then, there is the systematic efforts to sell off the strategic and commercial national assets he created. Sold to cronies and relatives at the expense of YOU and ME, the ordinary Ghanaian, whose welfare derives from these national enterprises.

So, whether the current state of affairs continues is up to you and me. It is up to us to decide whether we want our government, to create opportunities for us and our children or whether we are satisfied living in our present hardships - with little or no opportunities for our children, our relatives, you and me. Current conditions force our youth, in their most productive years, to risk their lives crossing deserts and seas only to be treated inhumanely, like slaves again. Is'nt it time we stand together and say “NO, NO MORE !”

And so there is indeed hope for a glorious future for all of us, that God still holds out profound blessings for us all Ghanaians.

We therefore urge you to join us, ONE AFRIKA FAMILY GHANA.

LOVE YOU ALL
