No Ghanaian should dare defend Ghana's position in the Web3 space or attempt to justify the complacent attitude many Ghanaians have towards problem-solving or being agents of change. If we were living in an era where only the fittest survived, Nigeria would annihilate Ghana beyond anyone's wildest imagination. Ghana wouldn't even be on the radar when it comes to ranking innovation in Africa.

I'm a Ghanaian, but with the spirit of a Nigerian. And the sad truth is, Ghanaians are lagging. While Nigerians are pushing boundaries, driving blockchain adoption, and creating spaces for Web3 innovation, Ghanaians seem content with staying in the past. It’s not just about technology—it’s about mindset.

What makes this even more painful is the attitude of many Ghanaians toward those who dare to strive for change. Instead of rallying behind innovators, they do everything possible to tear them down. Bad-mouthing, scheming, gossiping—all to make sure they can have the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so."

But when, by some miracle or sheer luck, you manage to succeed despite all the odds they stack against you, that’s when they suddenly want to associate with you. They will rush to claim your success as their own, pretending they were supporters all along.

This mindset must change. We need to evolve as a nation. We must move beyond this culture of envy and self-sabotage. We must embrace collaboration, support those who are striving to innovate, and play an active role in shaping the future of Africa.

It’s time for Ghanaians to wake up. Our potential is limitless, but we need to change the way we think and act.
