Implementation in Ghana

I hope I will not be mistaken for a joke after this short writing.
In a brain market, a man decided to shop for brains to use in his project. He found out that the brains had been arranged according to prices and the prices varied according to where they came from in the world.

He first chanced on the American brain which sold for 100USD. He decided to search further, he found a Japanese brain and it sold for 500USD. His search went on till he got to a place where the brains had been carefully packed and had no price tag. The buyer asked the attendant “how come there is no price for this brain. How much does is go for?”

The attendant responds “this brain is 100,000USD.” The buyer reacted “what? Where does it come from that it has to be so expensive?” The attendant responded “It come from Africa specifically Ghana.”

Buyer: what is so special about a Ghanaian brain that it has to be so expensive?
Attendant: Sir you see, most of the other brains have been used to develop a lot of things so depreciation has set in on them. However the Ghanaian brain has suffered no depreciation because it has never been used before.

That I am afraid is the plight of the Ghanaian brain. If you never believe the statement that every Ghanaian is a football coach, wait till September 5, 2008 and go wash Ghana Libya. No matter what happen listen to the fans after the game there you will understand.
Ghanaians are by far one of the most intelligent people in the world today. But am afraid our intelligence ends with only the thinking through of things but when it gets to the implementation, I am afraid we are not there yet.

We talk the talk but do not walk the walk.

Put a Ghanaian brain and a Chinese brain to work together and guess what will happen in the world? Cheap prices of good quality products. The Ghanaian will think and the Chinese will implement.

Does it not bother our leaders that we cannot implement our brilliant ideas. Let one man try to implement what he says and the world around him hates him to the word. Why? Because he is “too known”. That is the reality on the ground. Who wants to be hated by the whole society? Who wants to be the enemy of the whole country? Nobody dares! Agyiri Blankson tried. Mayor of Accra and who back stabbed him? You do not want to know. His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana and his ministers. To my amazement, this back stab did not attract the fury of the opposition in parliament and the media. Why? because they are all looking for their daily bread.

Talk about daily bread? I will give you a little insight into daily bread in Ghana very soon.
But to our issue, I believe every Ghanaian from the president to the baby about to be born as I write need to be schooled on how to implement decisions and the essence of implementation in development. After we get such schooling and we manage to live by it, any Ghanaian who leaves the shores of Ghana for greener pasture elsewhere can be termed a A BIG FAT LAZY ASS!!!!
Long live Ghana, Long live our quest for implementation.
