According to her, the Ghanaian culture and how mothers nurture their children

is a prime factor in Ghana’s very slow development.

According to her,  the religious up-bringing of Ghanaian children from childhood makes them

“…scared to stand up for ourselves when we’re wronged…”

She labelled it as the “Fa Ma Nyame” attitude, a Twi expression which translates loosely as “Give it to God.”

She however stressed that this attitude is the reason most people fail to speak up when

they have to, thereby allowing others to take advantage of them.

The post read:

“This , “ fa ma nyame“, attitude that we’ve been taught since childhood is why we continue to suffer as a nation. 

We’re so scared to stand up for ourselves when we’re wronged, and trust me people depend on you to” fa ma nyame” so they can take advantage of you,” she tweeted.
