And yet these same places of the continent are the most corrupt. What an irony!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome to our country Ghana, with a Christian population of over 70% with churches expanding everywhere, what do we see? Corruption is endemic,\u201d Dr. Ampadu stated.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that his organization had been established to help Africa think through the various fallacies, ironies and contradictions in their development and address them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Center will be research-oriented because these ironies and contradictions should not just be assumed and accepted as our label and religiously say Amen to it as God\u2019s intentions and purposes for Africa,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, students of development should conduct a holistic\u00a0and\u00a0comprehensive scientific research to properly situate Africa\u2019s problems from the roots to the fruits, taking into account the belief systems, culture, values, attitudes, and behaviors that result in the fruits, which are the consequences that have deviated Africa from its development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot just be a people with PhDs who are knowledgeable in almost everything and yet, in the midst of wealth, live hopelessly as beggars, thinking selfishly only of what we can get in everything we do with the hope that we will only make it if we travel to foreign lands,\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Ernest Kofi Adu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Dr. Christopher Ampadu (M) flanked by his lieutenants \u00a0 Executive Director of the Africa Centre for the Study of Worldviews and Wholistic Development of Societies, Dr. Christopher Ampadu, believes that Ghana\u2019s progress can only be achieved by changing mindsets rather than governing regimes.
