Lack Of Assertiveness Killing Ghanaians – Lydia Forson
Outspoken actress, Lydia Forson is in the news again over her latest observation about
Ghanaians which she did not hesitate to share.
She revealed her observations as to why development in Ghana has been stalled though a post on twitter.
According to her, the Ghanaian culture and how mothers nurture their children
is a prime factor in Ghana’s very slow development.
According to her, the religious up-bringing of Ghanaian children from childhood makes them
“…scared to stand up for ourselves when we’re wronged…”
She labelled it as the “Fa Ma Nyame” attitude, a Twi expression which translates loosely as “Give it to God.”

She however stressed that this attitude is the reason most people fail to speak up when
they have to, thereby allowing others to take advantage of them.
The post read:
“This , “ fa ma nyame“, attitude that we’ve been taught since childhood is why we continue to suffer as a nation. We’re so scared to stand up for ourselves when we’re wronged, and trust me people depend on you to” fa ma nyame” so they can take advantage of you,” she tweeted.
