Ghanaians Weren’t Raised With ‘Common Sense’ - Lydia Forson

Lydia Forson has bared her fangs at the society early Monday morning.

She took to her social media page to express her displeasure at the way Ghanaians think when it comes to quality of life.

In her opinion, Ghanaians haven't been raised to follow critical thinking methods, only to obey the rules of their superior white masters. 

"People always mock online activism and question its significance. Meanwhile, nearly all major recent movements have been started online. #BlackLivesMatter started with a hashtag. If you can sell dross online and get buyers, you can make a difference online too. Do you." She wrote.

Her tweet came after a train of thought in which the actress admitted that she had been thinking about how to educate Ghanaians against always following the norm.
The actress accused the Ghanaian educational system of not teaching citizens the useful ability of "thinking outside the box".
This, according to her, is one of the many reasons that most Ghanaians are incapable of critical reasoning, especially when faced with issues that require them. 
"I’ve been thinking a lot about how we engage on trending issues; especially in regards to those that go against what we believe is the norm. And I’ve come to a realization that the average Ghanaian knows very little beyond what he/she has been told, taught or raised on."

Lydia Forson maintained that Ghanaians aren't raised with common sense.

Per her words, she does not mean to insult anyone, rather, she is pointing out the facts that Ghanaians have been bred to follow the rules.
