Great Expectations

The Ghana 2008 Presidential/Parliamentary elections has been over for
over 2 days now and it is interesting that many well known media
houses of the West who were quick to report the political crisis in
Jos (Nigeria) less than 3 hours after it happened, have not made a
mention of Ghana 2008 Elections. Perhaps, Ghana does not exist on
their radar screen.

Ghana, like the rest of black Africa will only pop-up on their
monitoring screens when over 1,000 people have butchered themselves or
over 300,000 people are dying of starvation, or over 500,000 people
are displaced by a civil war. Can't we see that we need to look inward
more often, instead of depending on the stories they tell. They are
not as interested in the good things that happen to us, as they are
about the bad. They always like to give us a good reason why our
government and political systems are inadequate-a reason to have an
upper hand in our affairs.
Your comments will be most appreciated.
