| March 6th marked the 50th anniversary of Ghana's independence. It has been seen as a major landmark in the life of the West African nation probably due to the significance of a golden jubilee. The major event was an independence anniversary parade that drew guests from all over the world including over 20 African presidents. Many citizens, resident and abroad, are very proud of their country and are celebrating in earnest through parties, social gatherings, reflections, symposia and so forth. Others are lamenting the present state of the country, wondering if we should be celebrating it and how much we should spend on celebrating a landmark in our lives instead of investing in the present and future. |
