Don’t Make Your Country Look Poor Just For Upvotes.

I’ve been on Steemit for approximately five months now and I’ve noticed somethings that bothered me. It’s been going on ever since I joined and I feel it’s high time someone addressed these pertinent issues.

Some Steemians and mostly Africans have the habit of making their countries look poor and economically unstable just to gain upvotes from whales. This issue botheres me so much. It’s undoubtedly true that some part of Africa is facing challenges economically and in matters concerning good management. However, I am of the opinion that, consistently addressing such issues here on steem just to gain money is unnecessary and absolutely uncalled for.

I’m a Ghanaian which means I’m from Ghana and I’ve noticed this habit of fellow Ghanaian Steemians painting a bad image about this country just for some whales to sympathize with.

To me, Ghana is far from being a wretched or poor country because we are better off than others, truth be told. I personally feel it would be better addressing our achievements and the good things of this country instead of constantly highlighting our flaws. It’s not just in Ghana this is happening, it’s happening all over even beyond Africa.

I believe that, a wind of change ought to blow out the self pity that has woven itself into the fabric of the African society. Fellow steemians, let us steer this wind towards ourselves and keep the flag of our motherland flying high.
Thank you. If there’s anything you’d like to share, let’s talk about it in the comments.
