It's time for action

It's nothing new to come upon highly motivational, spirit-filled write-up by noble Ghanaians in their bid to discuss national issues and make an impact. I sometimes read these articles and become so inspired by them only to realize I'm back in my old ways of apathy a few days later.
 I begin to question; when will we stop discussing issues in new papers and begin tackling problems pragmatically? Are we always going to sit around and manipulate byzantine English of unknown origin and etymology? Shouldn't we stop these endless brainstorming and discussions and actually go onto the ground and be the change we want to see? Wouldn't other have stronger motivation to follow our initial pace we set?
In deed as a nation enjoying sovereignty for more than 56 years albeit being bedevilled by military uprisings for some time, one would expect that we would have achieved a level of mental autonomy to a point where we can act without any form of external interference. But what do we see? We never move beyond the pages of newspapers and always expect someone to do something about what we write about.
Perhaps we have to examine our educational system; It is too knowledge based with less emphasis on practicality. I remember from Junior High School how we used to discuss problems in agriculture in Social Studies and even write essays on them. I rewrote these same problems in my W.A.S.S.C.E. exam. I am not too skeptical about the fact that primary school children today are still writing the same problems in their exams.
Ghana! Arise! It's time for action
