Ghana Is Dead; Our Leaders Are Only Wishful Thinkers – Clement Adjei

A Youth Development Coach, Founder and Director of Youth Enterprise Synergy (YES) Clement Adjei Sarfo has described Ghanaian leaders as only wishful thinkers.

He notes leaders in the country fail to back their wishes with the practical work that will bring the needed results.

Speaking to Julius Caesar Anadem of Ultimate 106.9 FM in Kumasi, he noted that the only thing the leaders’ are concerned about is religion and prayers which has not yielded results anywhere.

“This country has too many wishful thinkers with no practical approach, reason we find ourselves in these mess with the abundance of natural and human resource. They resort to things that over the years have shown is not the solution but they still hold on to it. They will tell people to pray and hope. Tell me which country has succeed with prayers as its development tool”, he wondered

“Even Israel, the Lord’s chosen people think and practicalize things. The just ended world they were playing to qualify not praying to qualify even though they didn’t get there. If prayers could do the magic, why didn’t Israel qualify to win the world cup? Nations achieve development not by wishful thinking and prayer but planning. We have to change a lot about our society and that includes the kind of leaders we have too”, he stressed

He urged that the school system need to change to adopt programs that can influence development in the 21st century.

“Things we teach in our schools is not transformational, it’s just memory with no practicality”
