Greed for Money in Ghana , Our Bane.
In Ghana today, one of the silent killers of progress is not poverty itself, but the unquenchable greed for money. This dangerous appetite has crept into our politics, business, churches, workplaces, and even family life ,leaving a trail of broken trust, underdevelopment, and moral decay.
From inflated contracts to “chop-chop” in public service, from pastors who fleece their congregations to businessmen who cheat customers, the story is the same , people chasing money at all costs, even if it means selling integrity for a few coins. Sadly, this greed has eaten deep into our national fabric, making corruption seem normal and honesty seem foolish.
Greed blinds us. It makes leaders forget the people they swore to serve. It makes traders cheat customers with fake goods. It makes workers abandon their duties for side deals. It even makes some youths turn to scams instead of hard work. And while a few get rich overnight, the majority sink deeper into hardship.
If Ghana is to rise, we must confront this greed head-on. We must learn that true wealth is not in the size of our bank accounts but in the value we create, the honesty we uphold, and the legacy we leave behind.
The time has come for every Ghanaian from the flagstaff house to the market square to choose integrity over ill-gotten riches. Let us reject the “quick money” mentality and embrace hard work, innovation, and service.
For if we continue to feed the monster of greed, it will devour our future. But if we starve it, Ghana will breathe again.
