Ghanaian celebrated actor, David Dontoh says, if Ghanaians neglects the morals and ethics of the country, Ghana would be recognized by 2050.
According to David, Ghanaians find it so difficult practicing their own culture, language and standards. He disparaged the idea of copying the ‘whites’ culture and encouraged citizens to learn and equip themselves with the Ghanaian practices.
“If we do not take care, by 2050 this country would be recolonized. The way we are going, if we do not change the direction as to what to do with our culture, with our language, with our everything, 20, 25 to 30 years to come this country would not be recolonized.”
“Because we love not Ghanaian culture, we live not for Ghanaian ethics, we live not with Ghanaian norms, we live not for anything Ghanaian but we call ourselves Ghanaians.”
If Ghanaians don’t patronize to their culture over others, the country and its economical state will get worse than now,” He told AJ Sarpong on Citi TV’s Hall of Fame.
“There are a lot of Ghanaian young men and women today who have Ghanaian names, claim they’re Ghanaians don’t know anything about Ghana. Cannot even speak the language and that is dangerous. Very dangerous.
