In our series of letters from African journalists, Ghanaian writer Elizabeth Ohene, a former government minister and member of the opposition, tries to remain upbeat after a turbulent World Cup for Ghana. I am trying to look on the brighter side of things just as President John Dramani Mahama has been urging all of us Ghanaians to do and stop being pessimistic. I did not question the word of the coach of our national football team when he made his selection for Brazil I concentrated on the announcement that electricity supply would be regular during the course of the World Cup competition. When the power supply went off in my part of town 10 minutes into the second half of the Ghana-US match, I did not complain, I did not curse. I simply tried to find a way of answering the sneering headlines around the world that our government was having to buy extra electricity for the duration of the World Cup. When we lost to the US, I kept my head down and followed our president's injunction to be positive. I even started turning off the power to my deep freezer, as the electricity company had been urging all of us to do during the matches, as an energy-saving measure. Ghana at the World Cup.
