The Chief Executive Officer of the McDan Group of Companies, Dr. Daniel McKorley has blamed the lack of progression in the country on the youth of Ghana.
According to him, the youth of Ghana are sleeping too much and not using their energies to grab opportunities that will bring about progression.
In his recent interview on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Wednesday, Dr. McKorley stated;
“The youth of these days sleep too much and that is the problem and we have been treated with kids’ gloves and this whole country, especially the youth, is becoming a begging nation and we have to get rid of that.”
He continued; “There are so many opportunities out there, there are so many things the youth can do but they need to push themselves one step higher and also know that manna will not come from heaven. You need to take a step before you can make it.”
“Too much money around the system, but the youth are confused about how to grab those monies. There are times they tend to look at the wrong angles and that is a problem” he added.

In June last year, CEO of Mcdan also advised men to desist from banking their hopes on the salaries of their wives.
According to the business mogul, a wife’s salary is solely hers, and should not be preyed upon by her husband.
Speaking at the this year’s Father’s Day event, organised by Joy Prime, he advised men to learn to shoulder responsibilities at home, instead of relying on their wives.
“Your wife’s salary is her salary. Don’t come home and fight your wife because she can afford to pay the fees.
Even if she’s paying the fees try to take it over, be seen to be very responsible.
I am very particular about that because a lot of fathers lately are marrying because they want women to pay their bills. Don’t be a man that a woman pays their bills”, he stressed.
The comments by the Ghanaian business magnate, have since sparked a debate on social media, with netizens(social media users) divided over the issue.
While some have rallied behind his assertions, others have kicked against it; arguing that, the maintenance of the home is a shared responsibility and therefore a wife should not be allowed to exclusively enjoy her earnings.
The dissenters of McDan’s opinions further stated that even though his claims will go down well with some women, it flies in the face of ‘gender equality’; a theme which has been rehashed in recent times.
