I try to avoid the Ghana High Commission in the UK because of the simple fact that anytime you visit, it reminds you, in a highly cruel albeit true manner, why Ghana is swimming in a pool of relapse, corruption and in ineptitude. In fact, the staff at the High Commission are quintessential Ghanaian civil servants; rude, unhelpful and have this belligerent sense of doing you a favour when you are paying them for a job.
