Why Is Ghana Poor?
Ghana is ranked as the 50th poorest country in the world, out of 189 countries; lagging behind Sudan!
Ghana, which is resource rich; has sunlight nearly 80% of each year, has oil, has gold, diamond, bauxite, diamonds, fertile soil, alumina, copper deposits, phosphorus, rich forests, wildlife, among the largest cocoa producing countries, rivers and marine life, has rich human resource. What could account for Ghana’s poverty?
Big question for us this morning is how did we get ourselves into this predicament? What really went wrong? Who is to be blamed? Our leaders or our systems or our culture or ourselves?
