I think the senior citizen's conclusion is grounded in reality. And even if there are programmes for the youth, those in charge of the implementation would turn them into cash cows and slush funds. Corruption has doomed our country beyond repair.

Mr. Quist has to understand that the definition of progress has changed. It is different for today’s youth because their emphasis is on worldly goods to show off. In the old days, it was about a good name, character and strong moral values.

Every analysis concerning progress of the youth, compared with the past should take into account of population growth. Same resources but population is exploding.

My simple question to the Senior citizen is this, "Did you have phones during those days"? If no, try to understand that we are in the 21st century. The entire world had changed to either good or bad depending on the angle you are looking at.

I am a senior citizen like you. What you're saying is not true. In the olden days the youths are honest and hard workers. They busy learning, whether education, or trade. And some of them will go to the village to help their parents and uncles to farming. And they later become farmers. But these youths of today, they are very corrupt. All their thinking is to get rich. Establish a business for your family member to take care of. Instead of doing their best to grow the business to make it profitable all what they will thinking is to steal from the business or to find any means to make you die.The corruption going on in Ghana is mostly done by the youth in Ghana from 17 years to 55years they are most corrupt with their minds full of get rich attitude.

Compare the %Of people at that time to today.. What was the population at that time to today. It's more than thousand percent so you cant compare that of those days to today. It's a wrong calculation.

I agreed with the senior citizen. it is not the faults of the youth. Those who have even got something to do are been paid Gh¢500 to 700 a month. What will be the future of these people. The youth have been left in the hands of some wicked foreigners. No proper monitoring. I think look at what Boukinafaso head of state is doing on the ground for their youth. Pay them this amount or leave. I learnt some employers even told their workers not fight against them but rather against Ghanaian leaders.

Aah senior man stop that comparison, Nkrumah's government was overthrown more than half century ago and you can't let it go. You see these old CPP guards still live in the past. My question is how big was Accra and Kumasi those days. What was the population of Ghana. Nkrumah did his part but he made the government the solution of everything. The entitlements were too much.

The population at that time was around 6-7 million people so it was easy then to get things done. Today we don't even know our actual population. Accra is joke one international airport shame. Politics is destroying our fibre. I am never a fun of politicians from who to who. Dr Nkrumah was he over ambitious Ghana would have been better now than we are today if he concentrated on home base first than liberating Africa.

I am also senior citizen what he said can be a portion of a fact but not the absolute. Ghana is only 67years old so the youth today are Ghanaians. We were selfish then we didn't have plans for the future which is today. We educate ourselves we forget to educate the nation. We left nothing for the youth to rely on. All we did was selfishness. We destroyed all the factories, we lost the sense of culture of maintenance.

The senior citizen lacks the understanding of the current modern world. He is in a different world, the youth has progressed more than the Nkrumah era, now by 23years, one is a degree holder, during Nkrumah era, u have to be 30years n over before u get a first degree. Salary is far better than the olden days. Various careers are display than the olden days where only teaching, nursing, engineering were prevalent,. Now even with ICT career alone, there is huge progress. He is entitled to his opinion but with all due respect, he is wrong
