Apostle Kwadwo Safo, a renowned Ghanaian industrialist, inventor, and pastor, has publicly voiced his deep frustration over the apparent lack of recognition and respect he receives in his home country. His comments shed light on a broader issue concerning Ghana's general attitude towards practical industrialization versus formal education, which he believes undervalues the contributions of innovators like himself.

Apostle Safo, the founder of the Kristo Asafo Church, has been a prominent figure in Ghana's industrial and technological landscape. Despite his significant achievements and contributions, he feels his work is often overlooked. He attributes this lack of recognition to a cultural preference for traditional forms of education—primarily reading, writing, and verbal proficiency—over the tangible benefits of industrial innovation and practical skills.

In an interview with Cheddar, Apostle Safo expressed his disappointment and frustration with the prevailing attitude towards his work. He noted that while his inventions and industrial projects align with those produced by international counterparts, local support for homegrown products is lacking. Instead, Ghanaians tend to favor imported goods, reflecting a broader cultural inclination towards foreign products and technologies.
