Self identity is really important and I feel so proud to identify myself as a Ghanaian. Ghana is where I was born and bred, As Ghana celebrates her 61 anniversary today I would like to share with fellow steemians why I feel so proud to be a citizen of this great nation.

A strong democratic system
Freedom and Justice is our motto and this has led to strong democratic system where everyone is allowed to voice out his or her opinion without fear. This strong democratic style of governance is enviable and has been emulated by many African nations.

The friendliest country
Anyone who has visited Ghana before will attest for her friendliness. The people are so friendly and hospitable. Many of these attributes such as friendship and hospitality is as a result of the rich culture of our land. A child is expected to greet an elderly person and have to give his seat for an elder to occupy at public functions.

Moral values are highly emphasized in Ghana
Moral values such as respect for the elderly, honoring traditional rulers, and the importance of dignity and proper social conduct are highly emphasized by Ghanaian's. Individuals are trained to have a good conduct since we believe an individual actions can be detrimental and can affect an entire family or community, this is why every person in a family or community is expected to be respectful and responsible.
