Dear Chris,
Even though we are facing deepening economic crisis in Ghana, the race of ethnic notions is a bigger problem, gaining stronger roots each day.
When I was working in Takoradi a couple of months ago at the Port (COCOBOD-PBC), the struggle I went through just to get a place to stay and smooth sail of my work all because of past accusations levelled against my ancestors was unbelievable.
Some people just didn’t like me because of my ethnic background.
Submitting proposals and other assignment and negotiating as third party during work meant that you always had to take precautions which insignificantly caused mistrust and tension most at times.
Certain places in Takoradi are death traps for certain groups because of some stupid events created by dead and forever gone people who play no significant role in present times. Same cases have been heard in the Ashanti and Volta Region respectively.
