The Save Ghana movement has issue a stearn warning to Politicians and others who mostly refer the citizens of the country as "ordinary Ghanaians"
According to them, Ghanaians are far from ordinary, if one delves into the essence of the name 'Ghana', which signifies "King" in the Malian Language from which it originates.
The name Ghana is the implicit acknowledgment that every Ghanaian is endowed with royal qualities, related to kings and queens.
Therefore, to label any Ghanaian as 'ordinary' is to fundamentally misunderstand the depth of our heritage and identity.
Our forebears bestowed this name upon our nation, recognizing the inherent wealth and prosperity that Ghana possesses.
This wealth is not merely material; it encompasses our rich culture, abundant resources, and historical significance.
To reduce a Ghanaian to the status of 'ordinary' is to diminish the greatness of our land and its people.
Speaking at a press conference today, the leader of Save Ghana Movement, Robert Ansah Andzie said, "Consider the discomfort one would feel being labelled as an "Ordinary Ashanti" or an "Ordinary Ewe." or any other.
Such labels undermines the unique contributions and heritage of each tribe within Ghana.
We have indirectly accepted such dwarf terms due to a lack of understanding of the profound meaning contained in our nation's name.
It is imperative that we reclaim our identity and demand the respect befitting a nation of kings and queens.
It is time we reject the demeaning labels imposed upon us and assert our rightful place as custodians of a land and heritage that is anything but ordinary.
