Lions led by sheep…!

Ekow Mensah on Entrepreneurship

Its sickening the way politicians find a way to politicize everything. It’s sad how they forget to be leaders but rather set themselves up like robots ready to engage in battle of words and supremacy. Until we learn to be discerning and wise, setting our priorities right, taking responsibility, being accountable and addressing issues dispassionately…this dear country of ours will be but without the hope of making it anywhere great.

With faith, some of us will make it no matter the deplorable state of Ghana’s economy but it’s truly not all about us. Majority of Ghanaians are going through tough times, businesses especially small businesses are struggling, entrepreneurs are desperate, students are clueless, the youth are getting agitated, parents are getting frustrated, girls are being exploited, workers are disheartened…Ghana, my motherland, a land of Gold, Silver, Diamond, Oil, Cocoa, Land, Water, Passion, Freedom, Love, Hospitality (mostly to strangers and foreigners though). Ghana, a country with so much water, yet its citizens are dying of thirst. Ghana, a country with so much food, yet its citizens are dying of hunger…it’s sad.

My name is Ekow Mensah and I am a proud Ghanaian. I am a lion and even though I feel I am being led by sheep, I shall do my very best to give hope to the other lions following me, to ensure that in my own big way I will leave my corner of Ghana & indeed Africa far better than I met it. To my fellow lions, find your path and dominate it. Politicians may choose to always be politicians and work just to win vote and secure their next opportunity to serve themselves but you have what it takes to be Africa’s next Economic Giant and they will come seeking your wisdom, direction and support. The era of “POLIPRENEURS” is drawing near and be sure to catch the train. Remember Proverbs 29:2 – “When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan”. I rest my case but not my purpose.
