EP41: Are Ghanaians/Africans their own worse enemy? - a podcast by Nana Kwame

The plight affecting Ghana, Nigeria and Africa as a whole seem to be caused in majority of the time by ourselves. Although the continent has suffered from a lot of injustice and it could be argued that we as Africans are still suffering from the effects of these injustices, we are more aware of these situations and clearly should be doing better.  Recently a video surfaced of two Ghanaian women throwing rubbish into the streets while it was raining in the country's capital Accra. This is the same place where drainage is an issue and cholera, malaria and flooding is a yearly plight but these two still decided to compound it with their actions. The Chinese ambassador to Ghana said it perfectly when people tried to placed the problem of illegal mini aka galamsey sorely at the doorsteps of the Chinese by asking how did the Chinese find out about the gold? Ghanaians and most Africans abroad prevents each other from prgressing and some women are ready to lie to send their partners to prison or prevent them from being part of the lives of their chldren even though the importance of having both parents in your life is well documented.
