Ghana is bigger than Chris Brown..

I

 I believe Ghana is a unique country in its own right and concentrating on Chris "Breezys" weed smoking on stage is highly unnecessary especially when we have critical issues to deal with.

Fact is, this country is virtually on its knees and constantly giving such a non-issue space in our media is nothing but a misplaced priority.It kills the priorities of the country. For God sake  people should rather speak on issues that affect the entire population like poverty and the current energy crisis.

Its no secret ,Ghana is a culturally inclined country and therefore will find everything wrong when someone goes against our customs and values. but focusing on Chris browns folly really irritates many.This is due to the following reasons:

First,it’s a known fact that many Ghanaian artists get "HIGH" before mounting the stage.I'm not writing this to make Chris Brown's statement right but to cut down on the hypocrisy and reflect on important issues that really affect our lives and the entire population. Honestly, I don’t see the weed smoking of Chris Brown on stage affecting anyone in anyway. Why will anyone want to give him that attention? Someone who is a record holder at creating unnecessary and bad media publicity?! And guess what..! The more we talk about this issue,the more popular he becomes.

Second, RLG is a private Company and chooses which artist to bring down to entertain Ghanaians in order to gain publicity for their products and services. It doesn’t matter who comes or who pays. Their primary objective is to create attention for their brand across Africa and the rest of the world. Even though it's an indigenous company , I believe they are making a steady progress regardless of "breezys" smoking weed on stage.

Finally, i will like to say that Ghanaians must be aware that the media hype of Chris Brown's weed smoking adventure in Ghana is not for nothing. This is because, there are far more important issues when given media space will go a long way to expose neglect of the downtrodden by government and society at large. If the media keeps hammering on this issue of no substance, then one should try and find out what the government is hiding. Sometimes this unnecessary media hype is a way to keep the people busy in order for government to keep plundering the nation. Beware my brothers and sisters.The government plus the media is exceedingly powerful.

Ghanaians should be aware of the rather serious issues killing this country and not to focus attention on a non-issue. It's about time we rise above this pettiness and focus our attention on how governmental policies affect our lives and counter bad policies with all our strength and all our might.

Together, we will build a better nation.
