Hmm,it's shameful,if you listen to news now you see them speaking through their noses, parents don't even teach their children our native languages, you hear them speaking horrible english with fake accent,all we do is copy from the western world at the detriment of our own culture, countries like India and Malaysia are where they are today because they maintained their respective cultures,and added western education to it.

Why everybody is flowing with the crowd mentality and condemnations are flowing freely....
How are we content with raising a generation of entitlement mentality people?

An employer, the world all over, still reserves the right to its criteria no matter how gross.
The art of an employer explaining why you weren't offered a job is a mere courtsy and should not be misconstrued by any sensible person.

Yo! Ghanaians speak very good English, fam. The average ghanaian's English and diction is better than ours. I'm not surprised we despise our own English and accent.

Indeed, South Africa is a melting pot of accents and they all feature in the media. In fact, locals attempting western accents on tv are often mocked. Even the hip hop artists do not adopt American accents.

I tire for you ooo...can't read between the lines? You don't really have to convince anyone because you are on point...when you don't appreciate yourself or your heritage, I wonder how an outsider of stranger will appreciate you.
Those are the kind of mentality we have these days...pure inferiority complex in disguise as sophistication.
