Ghanaian industrialist, inventor, and pastor Apostle Kwadwo Safo has voiced his frustration over the lack of recognition he receives in Ghana, attributing it to the country’s emphasis on formal education over practical industrialisation.
The founder of the Kristo Asafo Church, known for his innovative inventions and industrial contributions, expressed disappointment that his vision and contributions were undervalued.
Apostle Safo lamented that many Ghanaians prioritise reading, writing, and speaking “big grammar” over the tangible benefits of industrial innovation. He pointed out that Ghanaians tend to favour imported goods over locally produced ones despite creating products similar to those made by foreigners.
“Because they feel education is better and what I do has no value, I am not regarded in this country. They condemned my vision and projects because they said reading and writing are far better. When you want to impact your knowledge of industrialisation, they will tell you no. They prefer to study and speak the big grammar,” he said during an interview with Cheddar.
Speaking in a recent interview, Apostle Safo further emphasised that the country’s neglect of industrialisation has worsened its economic struggles, highlighting the burden of debt and foreign dependence. “Look at the debts we are burdened with. It’s sad. The foreigners are dictating to us because we depend on them,” he remarked.
