Regardless how you view Israel, that nation wouldn't have gotten as far without the support of their diaspora in the west. Everything that jewish zionist in the west do (especially monetary wise) is in the name of Israel.

It's the sheer determination of wanting their people to prosper no matter the cause (which is a problem of itself) , and their collective mindset is the reason why Israel is still standing.

Whereas Ghanaian diasporans are hyper individualistic, extremely classist (envious as well), and only travel to Ghana to party in December (at best)instead of bringing their expertise/skills to the country that is suffering from constant brain drain. No ambition or drive to see your home country thrive.

Imo, Ghanaians from U.S and Britain are the biggest failures. And I say this as a diasporan myself.

Edit: Sorry for the title, I was in the heat of the moment

For those who are still able to visit in Dec., how are you able to do it?

Please you guys should really be mindful of who you hang out with and some establishments you frequent when visiting Ghana. Accra's nightlife scene is filled with Pedophiles and rapists.

When going on holiday, I'm sure you guys research into detail about what goes on in a certain country. The same should be applied to Ghana(I know Ghana is home so you don't really think much about but, I think you guys should be interested in local news now.) You'll see how horrible the country you romanticise on "Independence day", Easter and Detty December really is.

I see you guys hang out with weirdos all the time, some people are told and then decide to still hang out with them because...I know some of you are not aware and that's why keeping up with the news is important. 36 year old Joshua Kojo Anane Boate or "SoAfrican" has been arrested for drugging, raping and distributing secretly filmed videos with his victims. He's friends with other weirdos like Dezzydothis, a sexual assualter who is still roaming the streets of Accra. Becareful, especially to the women, please! Stay informed and be vigilant! It'll also be nice if you guys can boycott some establishments like Afro-future, Frontback etc. There are so many shady businesses in Accra that you patronise, seeing those businesses thrive is like a slap in the face especially the ones established with our taxes.

My heart really goes out to the victims, trying to unwind in Accra after hardwork, only for some rapist to take advantage. His investigation has led to other revelations where Ghanaian men and a woman, take pictures of children around the age of 5 and 6 years old and they send to a Pedo syndicate in Australia. So horrible and heartbreaking.

You guys are targets, so you have to be as informed as possible. This is coming from a place of concern. I know back home, Racism exists and you guys go through so much and you come back to Ghana to unwind but please!
