Education in Africa Vs. Religion Are Some African Countries Failing?

Its time that I write this, I’m no genuis myself, however living in 2 African countries I’ve had plenty of conversations on education. In Ghana I had several, it was one of the reasons why I think it is so difficult living in Ghana.
Basic conversation with the average Ghanaian is diffiult, in a Ghana Expat group a person posted that they missed complete sentences and deep meaningful connections. This one comment alone gained over 50 likes, most recently it was in the Ghana news that the education in the country was ranked 137th out of 167 countries.
This was an “AHH-HAA” moment, the English meanings of words are changed by the majority of Ghanaians. I asked several people why they all seemed to argue when having almost every conversation. I would sit on my road and watch them almost come to blows.
This happened almost every where I went, conversation skills are surely lacking for many in the country and most people don’t even understand one another.
When you refuse to fund education and don’t provide it for free, your country really has their priorities in the wrong place. You can tell by living in Ghana, all my issues in the country boil down to poor education and lack of morality, as Black Americans are now seeing from the scamming and fraud in Ghana.
I don’t follow Elijah K. Samuel Kirichu at all, over I can’t help but notice his posts, I scan them and at first I would shake my head, then I started getting angry. Some of his posts show that there is a seriuos issue with the quality of education in Kenya.
Accra isn’t Ghana’s largest city at all the population in Kumasi is much larger and the capital of Ghana is Accra, that is the only reason it is the seat to more companies and tourist sites.
