Ghana My Motherland
Hey there!
I hope you’re having a good day. This is my first time taking part in the neoxian city writing prompt and I must say, I’m very delighted to be a part of this.
The topic for this month is quite interesting and I’m looking forward to reading what others have to say about their countries.
Born and bred in Ghana, I have come to appreciate and love my country with all my heart. As we all know, no one is perfect and same applies to countries as well. Every country has an aspect they fall short at but ,we as patriotic citizens to do not have to neglect our country because of these little issues.
Some of the things I’m proud of about my country Ghana.
Ghana is not a big country as compared to Nigeria and the likes. Even with this, we have come very far since gaining our independence.
Even though I wasn’t born then, I can boldly say that Ghana in those days isn’t the same as todays Ghana. Day in day out we strive to develop our country because we are all we have.
One thing I’m very proud of about my country is that it is a war free country.
I’m sure we have all heard about wars in various countries none of us would have imagined. Some of these wars might be in-country wars or wars between two countries.
In my whole life, I haven’t heard of any war in my country even though we have a few disputes here and there.
I am very proud of this because I have come to realize that the citizens of my country have come to understand that no matter how things get heated up, fighting ourselves is not an option.
Another thing I’m proud of my country for is, we still strive to develop.
For the past few years my country, Ghana has been in a very bad state financially. It even came to a time when we had to go for loans and all of that just to develop our country.
The case of taking loans brought about a whole lot of opposition from some citizens and other political parties as well. I know that all this is because we all have the good of the country at heart and we do not want to see our beloved country go down the wrong path.
Loans were taken and the country isn’t standing at one place because we always want to make something better for the people.
Now, even our free education system which used to have a lot of issues when it started is getting better with time. The government has put drastic measures in place to cater for the needs of the student population and teachers at large.
Do you think your country has all it takes to help you develop as a person?
Ghana is still a developing country as compared to other countries such as Canada and the likes. So far, I have been able to develop myself as person in my country but, I do not have everything I desire at my disposal because my country lacks one or two things which I think are necessary for my growth.
For example, our schooling system. I wouldn’t say our schooling system is bad but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Even in the university all our studies are 90% book based. We do not get to see the practical aspect of what we are being taught in our classrooms or lecture halls. I know that is not how it is done in other countries.
So, to the question:
Do you think your country has all it takes to help you develop as a person?
My answer is a No. My country does not have all it takes to help me develop as a person to the stage I want to get to.
If you could leave to another country, would you? If yes or no, explain why?
I’m sure everyone Ghanaians answer to the question would be a Yes. The standard of living in Ghana is pushing every youth away from the country. But we can’t all run away from our own country.
If we do, who are we leaving our beloved country to?
Personally, I have been to other countries and I have had my fair share of experiences. It’s nothing like Ghana.
If I could leave to another country for specific purposes such as Academia, Work ,vacation or other stuff I would definitely leave because I can not solely depend on what is available in my country.
I also need to broaden my scope and experience life in other peoples perspective so that I can apply what I have learnt in my country. That’s how we develop as a people.
No matter how our country is in a difficult place, we as citizens shouldn’t neglect our motherland because in the end, that’s all we’ve got.
This is my entry to the #neoxianprompts organized by @momogrow.
I hope you enjoyed reading. Thank you.

Wow, it's good to know more about your country through this article. A country without any history or war is something to be proud of. My grandmother once scared war story with me about my country and trust me, I shared tears and was lost in thought on how people survived the trauma.
No country has it all indeed but I happy at where your country is now regarding development. You have good reasons to leave to other countries if you should, while acknowledging the importance of joining hands together to build your country for good.
Thanks for participating!

I just pray that no country every find themselves fighting a war. The negative effect it has on the country is really bad.
It's always a pleasure.

I've got to know more about your country with your post. I love Ghana and would love to visit you guys one day maybe learn your language a bit too.

I love how Ghana is trying hard to make the country a much better place for its citizens. I have been there just once, and I can say that it felt much better being over there than being over here. I mean, you guys even have stable electricity. That still remains a myth over here.
I don't think anywhere is perfect, though. Every country has their cross to carry and their challenges. It's just that some problems are preferable to some others.
Notwithstanding, I'd still like to be in my home country for the long-term, and only visit other countries that are better for educational and all. I'd like to visit Ghana some more, actually.
You need to come to Ghana so I'll get you a wife. Stable electricity will be a plus.😅

You sound like a true patriot being proud of your country and planning to return even if you leave. Despite that you can be critical for instance of the education system and the overal standard of living which drives young people away. Nice to learn more about your country.

My country gets on my nerves sometimes but I can't do anything about it.😅
Thanks for passing by.

A great read and I can sense a very positive approach towards your country. Who doesn't love peace...right? and the fact that you had no wars is a big thing to be proud of.
I love these lines from your post. Well well said... rather than fleeing from the problem (if we have any) we should try to fix it.

Majority of people are trying to acquire visas to other countries for greener pastures. I just hope they come back in the long run to help the country.

You want to leave and you're asking others not to leave. Dey play.
On a more serious note, you seem like you love your country, the nation is developing quite well. I'm sure it'll be much better in years to come and may eventually have all that developed nations have. Till then

Everyone wants to leave but we can't all leave.😅

Great. It is the education system that would make me leave my country too but not permanently because we aren´t taught the practical aspect to help us understand what is being taught. Even most of our teachers and lecturers are not knowledgeable. We have more ineligible teachers than eligible ones all because someone placed them there.

All we can do about this is hope that measures would be put in place to make the country better and prevent all of these occurrences.

That is just it my sister.

So you're telling us not to leave but then you want to run away and leave us here.😅
You love the nation I see. Like you said our schooo system is bad here. We're studying a course that is practical based but I can count the number of times we've had meaningful practical sessions. It's very bad. Maybe it's a price we pay for the peace we have.🤔
