The Biggest Problem Of All Ghanaians: We Do Not Know Where Patriotism Ends

A Ghana supporter arrives at Gold Coast bar-restaurant in Brixton, south London.

I have always known that Ghanaians are exceptionally patriotic. Despite the many great things one can achieve with strong sense of patriotism, being ‘over patriotic’ without any room to criticize your own country/people, point out the wrongs within your country and being over sensitive when others (especially non-nationals) loudly bring to light unfortunate occurrences in your country is not patriotism, rather treacherous.

It is great that Ghanaians will defend Ghana and its people at all time. The duty to defend and uphold the good name of Ghana as a citizen is constitutionally imposed. Patriotism therefore does not only spring from our sense of belonging, it is also a citizenry requirement which must be respected.

However,  I have realized many Ghanaians do not understand and appreciate that, patriotism is not only about singing praises, it is also about nailing the negatives, pointing out the illegal activities and unfortunate occurrences happening within your country and among your people.

Patriotism is about being sincere, being watchful and above all, being critical and embracing the true state of affairs in relation to your people and country.

It is the above mentioned attributes of patriotism that many of us Ghanaians lack. We hate it to the core when someone points out the obvious destructions, poverty, corruption and anti-developmental activities which have engulfed our country or being championed by our people.

In the name of patriotism, we jump to call people who point out our follies names and in a deadly rebuttal, we quickly point out the weakness of these people or their countries too. What happened to the all-important attribute of acceptance and being sincere with the real state of affairs of your nation when it comes to patriotism?

Ghanaians simply hate to be criticized (either constructively or non-constructively); we do not criticize our own people, leaders and country as much as we will do to that of others. The irony of this is that, we are always the first to cite the iniquities of others and their countries without a room for us to accept our own.

Countries like Nigeria have always suffered in the hands of Ghanaians. I wish we employ the same eyes and standard we use to judge these countries/people to judge and look at our own backyards too.

The moment someone states the obvious about Ghana or Ghanaians, we invoke the highest offence and in the name of patriotism, we ambush the person with counter claims without accepting the truth of their statement. This is not patriotism, it is surely treacherous.

Patriotism aims at making the country and people better. Covering up our debauched deeds would not in any way bring about the betterment we seek as a nation.

I do understand that it is morally corrupt for a person living in dirt to highlight your filth. However, the fact is; you have dirt and that is what you should appreciate the person for prompting you.

I know It is difficult to accept the hypocrisy of people who leave their backyards dirty to tell you about your dirty backyards (with our without malicious intent). But patriotism is not about failing to accept your failure or problems simply because the person pointing the finger is not blameless; it is about embracing such problems and working hard to rectify them (give relevance to the problems and not the person pointing them out).

Also, patriotism is not about seeking to justify the bad with the many good that your country has or its people have achieved. It is about making sure the bad is given more attention until it is remedied.

A true patriot is the one who embraces the problems of his people and country, contemplate on them and bring pressure to bear on those who can eradicate the problems.

The fact that you are a Ghanaian does not mean you should not highlight or accept publicly the problems of Ghana. Many Ghanaians hardly do this and this has come to affect our internal politics and dealings.  Everything done by an NDC government or member is right in the eyes of all NDC members, even if what is done is vividly wrong (the vice versa holds).

Defending the dirty dealings and covering up the bad of your people and country by any sort of unnecessary comparison, deceit and cunningness is not a hallmark of patriotism.

Currently, Ghana has power problems (fact). Nigeria has worse power problem than Ghana (fact). A patriotic Ghanaian will not be bothered and throw into the face of a Nigerian his own power problems when the person points out the power problem of Ghana, he/she will rather fight to make sure the problem in Ghana is solved and would accept the true state of the power issue in Ghana.

Patriotism is undeniably a great attribute we must all have. However, we must know where patriotism ends else we will unknowingly branch into becoming treacherous.  For how long can we deny and cover our woes?

  1. Hahaha! Am I the only person who realizes that this article is Part 3 of the One-Direction in Ghana saga? So, we must be happy when foreigners leave their countries which have uncountable problems & come to Ghana to paint us black erh? Who said we Ghanaians don’t know our challenges? Who said we Ghanaians are not doing what we can to overcome these challenges? Do we need foreigners to come to our country & look down their noses at us before we can identify our problems & solve them? In my opinion, Ghanaians are nowhere as patriotic as Americans who despite their many problems will swear that their country is the best & never tolerate any foreigner critiquing them. Do you think a foreign artiste would have been able to the U.S. and do the kind of nonsense One Direction came to do here? Can Coldplay go to the U.S. & send tweets about ‘Oh, I just went to the U.S. & saw so many homeless people, they need help;? Or you don’t know that there’s almost a million homeless people in the U.S.? We have to shed this colonial mentality of always supporting foreigners who treat our nation with disdain

      • @kwab, what is your point exactly? Ghana is a developing country so we should jump for joy when the Western media create the impression that Ghana is a country full of only poor people & slums ? If you choose to see your country as a hopeless country needing ‘help’ from foreigners then that’s good 4 u. I choose to see my country as a land of hope- a nation which has struggled through a lot of challenges but is turning things around.

  2. My sentiments exactly. Kudos Chris! To be able to solve a problem, you must first admit the fact that you really do have one and then proceed to find ways and means to do so.  At the end of the day we are all ghanaians….we all love Ghana and want to see it in the near future become the developed country we know it has the potential to be.

  3. Great piece Chris.I am a Ghanaian like you and I agree with you wholly on this. Our country is where it is , in bad state because people won’t talk and ask for things to be done rightly. When a Ghanaian does something wrong, instead of condemning, you will find our people supporting or defending the person.

    Look at where we are with cases like Wayome and others. There Ghanaians out there who for some reason such as being NDC think Wayome has not done anything bad or the government has not done anything bad by giving this man such a big money wrongly. We must begin to face the truth and call spade a spade.

      I am not taking side with anyone…I am being objective about things, opened minded and stating the obvious. I won’t suspend my thinking faculty simply because I am Ghanaian and there is an issue out there about Ghana…As stated in my article, that will not help Ghana in anyway!

    • @Pershia, We will not get there with this sort of thing we call patriotism. In Ghana, there are hotels which only accept DOLLARS, schools that only accept fees in DOLLARS and almost every big man has a DOLLAR account, no one sees anything wrong with this and won’t tweet to address it. Everyone seems to be ignoring these things and going after non nationals becos they point out the obvious.

      If the white man is such an obstacle in our way of progress, where do we start from? We start from using our own currency in our own country…We are standing in our own way by not being truthful to ourselves.

      I was in Denmark few months ago and decided to jump off to Sweden…From Denmark to Sweden is less than 15 minutes by train. And guess who, I couldn’t use the Danish currency in Sweden…But in Ghana, even though we have our own currency…The Dollar is worshiped and what we trade in. Just think about how far America is from us.

      Why am I saying this? We don’t see anything wrong being done by our own people and country, except by foreigners in the name of patriotism…And the celebrities don’t know about all these dollar trades? Why don’t they tweet and make noise about it? That is what I will call safeguarding Ghana’s interest and seeking for the betterment of Ghana. Not just trying to demand that, the obvious should not be said because there lie other good things…

      Good you now got the right info 🙂

  6. Well written Chris. I love your style of writing. Firstly, let me point out to you why people like Miyagi and others cant think like you or understand you. Your IQ and intelligent level is far beyond most of your readers. I have read some of the comments and mostly of them do not make any point to even address what you write about.

    You are too intelligent to be dealing with these people and this means you are on a different thinking level to them. Sussie or whatever she calls herself seems to be lost. I am sure most of these people do not even understand the concept of patriotism and the need to be criticized in life. Anyway, an intelligent piece of work and you said it all

  7. It seems we are still talking about one direction here so i guess i will also let out my opinion. They were there to raise money for a charity. Not on a freaking vacation. Why would they mention the “best” parts. You don’t see them bragging about VIP treatments in other countries like US and Europe. Why specifically brag when they had them there? Makes no sense at all.
    They were there for Comic Relief. They recorded a song for this charity and were shooting a video clip for it. Obviously these are kids who probably never seen anything like that in real life before. I can imagine it must’ve touched them to see all that poverty in real life, so he tweeted to his fans to get involved. What’s insensitive about that?
    It would be more offensive if he DID tweet he was enjoying VIP treatments in a country he went to to raise money for.
    Besides Comic Relief isn’t even only about poverty in Africa. Half of the money is used to help those in need in the UK. So what, should we complain about them bringing attention to the “bad” stuff in the UK as well? what kind of stupidity is that?
    It’s the whole point of the charity. To show those in need of help, bring awareness and therefore raise money to help them. I say good for them they even bothered to go. They could’ve just donated a bunch like most celebs do without bothering to do more. They never once said that the entirety of Ghana was impoverished, just the places that they witnessed. It was the E online website which was making some stupid remarks. People need to get their panties out of a twist and respect the fact that they took time out of their busy schedule to even take part in the event. Give them a break!!! Some people will bash people for any and every thing they do.

    Reply
    • @abena, Oh please, let’s not pretend that these guys are some angels who just got inspired one day to take time off ‘their busy schedule’ & to help the poor bla bla bla. This is purely show business. Do you not realize how much these people are going to benefit from their so called ‘charity work’ in Ghana? Celebrities do charity work to boost their image & earn money. The better their image, the more likely they are to get endorsement deals & the more popular they become with fans who then buy their products. Don’t forget that doing charity work also entitles them to make tax deductions. So all in all, One Direction didn’t ‘take time off their busy schedule’ to help anybody, they were looking out for their own interest. Secondly, since Comic Relief is to help those in need in the U.K, isn’t it curious that we are yet to see One Direction or any other celeb they use, visiting poor & homeless children in the U.K., snapping photos of them & painting the picture that that is all there is to the U.K.? And no, it wasn’t only eonline who made stupid remarks. Check Niall’s tweets. You don’t spend 3 minutes in a country & create the impression that every part of that country is a hellhole. What do you think that does for tourism? If you’re ok with it, some of us aren’t and will never be

      Reply
      • @Susie, do you know what you are talking about at all? Who said comic relief does not visit poor places and homeless places in UK and take videos and photos for their fund raising? Do you state what you do not else you will be misinforming others. What is this?

        And who said doing charity work in UK gives you tax deduction in your own personal work or finance ? Which law or HMRC rule state so? 

        And if charity gives image enhancement and all you said, are our Ghanaian celebrities not doing charity to get it too? Why can’t they also do it then? Have your opinions but please  don’t miss inform others about comic relief and tax deductions you do not know about ! Simple goggle comic relief UK poor places and see what you will, courtesy comic relief!

        • @Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, chris thanks for telling her, she does not know ANYTHING about comic relief and she is ignorantly commenting here to mislead people.

          Comic Relief targets UK too, mostly UK and Africa. What the hell is she talking about that they dont go to places in UK to do the same? IGNORANCE will kill Ghanaians.

          Instead of us accepting that we are not doing good to Ghana by always defending the bad doings of our people and country, she is doing the same thing, thinking about UK.

          UK is a developed country so if you think you want to compare our third world country to them and what they do, you are just plain sick

          Check out comic relief website if you want to kill your ignorance:

          • @Samantha, lol UK is a develop country with so many problems they are facing I can ask you the same question WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT, 60% of Red Nose Day money is spent in Africa and 40% here in the UK. That’s what they claim A group of 20 experts carefully work out which projects should receive money. Since Comic Relief started 20 years ago they have raised over £337 million or more ask your self this question does the money really go to african countries does fundraising like Comic Relief really help Africa I wonder why millions of people think that they can fix all of Africa’s problems by tossing cash at them including you think its going to does the money they so called spend turn into food and water? Most of it ends up in the corrupt leaders’ hands anyway Charity does begin at home. UK needs to get it’s house in order first and might be better placed to help others when a little more stable

          • @Samantha, it is you that is ignorant. If you cannot see how these Westerners mock us with their so-called ‘charity efforts’, painting the picture that we are a backward & hopeless people & if you think that Westerners care so much about you & are committed to helping your country out of poverty, then I feel truly sorry for you. Why do you think that none of these people are talking about fair trade? Have they addressed the fact that in this day & age, their country still buys Ghana’s goods @ ridiculous prices? Or you don’t know that’s one cause of poverty in developing countries? Has One Direction addressed the unconscionable terms & clauses the UK adds to their ‘grants/ loans’ to Ghana which keeps us marking square one? When have I said Ghana has no issues or defended ‘bad things’ in Ghana? But if you choose to join foreigners to condemn your motherland then that’s your cup of tea.

          • @Susie, Why go for the loans and grants in the first place? Are you serious? You want a loan and you want to tell the person giving you the loan what the conditions should be? Nonsense…

        • @Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, Oh my God Chris, aren’t you a law student in the UK? I’m just a lowly nurse but a simple google search revealed to me that yes, people can get tax deductions for some contributions to charity in the UK. You asked for an hmrc rule so kindly check out http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/individuals/giving/basics.htm . Oh & by the way, even if One Direction isn’t going to get tax deductions, they’re still going to boost their image & in the process get endorsement deals & make their fans & people like you patronize their products more because you think they’re such do-gooders. And I think you didn’t understand my comment: I didn’t say Comic Relief has taken NO pics of poor people in the U.K., I said that no one takes pics of poor people in the UK (and other Western world) & paints the picture that that is ALL THERE IS to that country. But that is exactly what Niall’s tweets did. Bottom line is, if you choose to have the mentality that it is handouts, charity & all of that which will move Ghana out of poverty, then good for you. Read history & realize that no country, neither the Asian Tigers nor the Western world got anywhere through Aid & charity. Ghana has gotten debt relief, charity relief, aid etc. where has it gotten us?

          Reply
          • Are you for real? getting tax exemptions for an amount you give out to a charity benefits the one giving out the money (You said one direction will get tax deduction-benefits to themselves)? What are you talking about? What benefit will One Direction get from such rules of exemption? It benefits the charity not the individual…The charity gets the deductions (exemption) not the person giving out the money…It is the money you are giving out that do not get taxed, not your other money you keep for yourself…So what benefit of deductions is there for anyone giving out money?

            Stay off the law if you do not understand it….You say one thing, when you are proved wrong, you run away and bring another thing and then you are shown it is is not also like that, and again you jump to another issue…Let’s stay true to the theme of the article.

            If you want to donate to a charity or Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) and you’re a UK taxpayer, there are a range of tax incentives and schemes available to help you get the most from your donation.

            How you can give in a tax efficient way

            There are a number of tax efficient ways to give to charity as an individual. You might be able to claim some tax back using these methods. In order to claim these, the organisation you give to must be recognised as a charity for tax purposes by HM Revenue and Customs. You can check this by asking the charity to confirm that it has an HMRC charity reference number.

            If your donations are under the Gift Aid scheme, your chosen charity can also claim tax back (known as tax relief) from the government.” And isn’t it funny that you’ve not been able to comment on the other benefits I said One Direction will get (ie: endorsement deals etc) or you admit those? lol, I love your blog & will be looking forward to Part 4 of the One Direction saga since you’re determined to get us to believe that what they did was great & our celebrities are wrong for protesting the negative image they portrayed about Ghana.

        • @Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, Chris, one question for you, is Accra a village and a slum? u know very well that it is a city and not a village. the words that were used in describing Accra caused all these. i believe that these people should be educated abt Africa, tht it is not a country but a continent. Accra is not a village but a city however Greater Accra is a region that has villages so they should be well informed before making such statements.

  8. I’m a Nigerian that has lived in Ghana and believe it or not,Nigerians have a higher standard of living. Most Ghanaians live in extreme povery but in order not to alter IMF and World bank endorsements,Ghanaians prefer to suffer and smile. Nigerians on the other hand strive to achieve the best and that has rubbed off on our entertainment industry. Electricity is currently being privatized in Nigeria, Ghana on the other hand is still in denial…shameful if u ask me.

Are you talking about the 1 percent who have stolen State funds & are living big (we know that your country is no 35 on the most corrupt countries in the world list). Or do you think we don’t know of the numerous light-offs in Nigerian & how you all nicknamed your electricity corporation NEPA- Never Experience Power Always because of all the power outtages? & don’t pretend that your country doesn’t complain when foreigners paint it bad either.
