Ghana is indeed a failed nation per the characterization.
*Ghanaians must seek their own salvation and redemption from within themselves before yielding to leadership. In constructive leadership, one is not above the others. One is a member from within the body.*

*The Nature of a Failed Society*
When asked the Russian writer Anton Chekhov about the nature of failed societies, he replied:
*In failed societies, there are a thousand fools for each successful brain and a thousand clumsy words to counter each good advice.
*The majority are always dumb, ill-informed, egoistic, and constantly dominating the rational and intelligent ones.
*They love trivializing important issues to distract them from facing their reality.
*They love holding meeting upon meetings but ensuring that each meeting is turned to throwing banters and cracking jokes to prevent diligent scrutiny of issues.
*They are led by cliques, cabals, and a few unserious individuals, while the majority are disenchanted, disgruntled, and uninterested.
*They're like a cult group where the gangsters are the majority.
*They thrive on extorting from a few among them who have overbloated egos and always seeking public attention without knowing they're being used. It's called a society of pacifiers and nonentities.
*Trivial matters are always at centre stage, and any attempt to make them face their real challenges are opposed and vehemently resisted. They're constantly living in denial.
*An example of a failed society is where millions of people crowd themselves together every time, dancing and repeating meaningless songs and words to themselves, and turning that to a societal culture.
*In failed societies, everyone have their own opinions, which are never articulated. It's a society where constructive, sound, and workable ideas are constantly being suppressed for the mischievous cabal to keep being the dominant force.
*In failed societies, it's favouritism and rewards for patronage that's popular, while merit is sabotaged. Also, it's characterized by injustices and praise singing.
*Such societies thrive on information hoarding and secret keeping as leadership accountability is regarded as a privilege and not a right. Open conversations are frowned at and regarded as an attack against leadership. Demanding for leadership accountability is forbidden.
*Gang leaders love to quote laws in society that's actually lawless and governed through caucus decisions. The minority are always pretending to be the majority.
*Divide and rule, rumour mongering, emotional blackmail, are the readily tools for governance. Those with honest intentions for promoting the culture of common good are quickly labelled as saboteurs and isolated, so they don't corrupt the dormant majority.
*Genuine contributors and solution providers are not known, and no one gives them credit for their efforts. Failed societies lack the attitude of gratitude.
*Since the crowd love pettiness and mundane things, they love those telling them it's okay not to use their own brains to think for themselves, and prefer comedian that make them laugh with meaningless jokes, than the poet who is waking them up to reality and telling them the truth that temporarily hurts.
*Therefore, the caucus leadership called ’democracy' is not an ideal leadership model for ignorant people and unenlightened societies because the corrupt minority will keep deciding their fate. *The people must seek their own salvation and redemption from within themselves before yielding to leadership. In constructive leadership, one is not above the others. One is a member from within the body* .
