FINDING ABRAHAM ATTAH'S KIND

Abraham Attah the young Ghanaian rising Star has been all over the media for the past week.

The young boy without any acting background featured in his first movie tittled Beast of No Nation which was produced by Netflix Production.
He played a role along side vetran American actor Idris Elba and some Ghanaian stars .
According to him, the director of the movie spotted him on a school field and the rest is history.
One movie has won him several awards in his home country and other international platforms. He recently presented an award at the Oscar awards.

The quick turnover of Abraham's life is a pure eputome of the usual saying "From grass to grace " and from "zero to hero". But the question i ask myself is that How many Of his kind are walking on the street of Ashaiman where he was found by the foreign production house?

There are so many Of Abraham Attah 's kind walking on the streets of Ghana. But the problem we have as Ghanaians is that , we have neglected the sense of communualism we had.
The society now lies on the WHOM YOU KNOW philosophy.
From Birth Cert office to Passport office, Banks to Hospital,Shs to Universities. The sense of individualism has flooded our medulla.

This has led to a lot of hidden potentials in our society. We need to help each other and by so doing we can unearthen a lot of Talent. We can find a lot of Abraham  Attah in our Society.
