Hugo Chavez the socialist, believes in wealth sharing. As a result, that country's oil wealth are invested in its citizens. We can't say that for Ghana bcos, only the politicians & the west enjoy our resources.

Just like the great Osagyefo, Kwame Nkrumah, Chavez fought for his people and died for his people. Just like Nkrumah, he fought for the unity and well being of his country, his continent, and progressive humanity. Just like Nkrumah, he died for his people and his cause.

They gave Nkrumah skin cancer. They gave Chavez pelvic cancer. They just can't get it:
Nkrumah lives!

A great leader who brought immense social changes in Venezuela for the benefit of the poor is gone.He ensured that Venezuela's oil wealth was not controlled by multinationals but by the Venezuelans themselves.By so doing he incurred the animosity of America which branded him as its enemy and did everything to unseat him.Like Yasser Arafat it will not be surprising if one day it turns out to be that he died as a result of poisoning by his enemies.As a champion of the economic rights of the poor Hugo Chavez was a great leader who will forever be remembered and admired.NO AMOUNT OF LIES AND INSINUATIONS WILL UNDERMINE HIS GREATNESS.

I'm surprised you didn't give his people your 'courage" speech i.e "many people cannot look within themselves and say that as a result of deteriorating health, which is not making me carry on duties to an optimum, I want to step down so that someone else takes it and continues to push the objective for which our organization exists and I think that is a mark of courage.” Shame on you Pres. Mahama.

We scorn death, knowing we cannot be defeated!

Kwame Nkrumah

Venezuela will never fall back into the hands of the imperialists. Their eyes are on the incredible amounts of oil and gas (as well as coltan, to mention a few). They have eliminated the physical Chavez but the Spirit of Chavez continues to live in his people. The masses of people, not just the poor people, in Venezuela felt a positive change in their lives, and will never betray Chavez.

The younger generations in Ghana should learn from the lives of genuine heroes like Nkrumah and Chavez.

GHANA'S "LEADERS" DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM, SO THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

GHANA'S LEADERS HAVE NO DIRECTION, NO PURPOSE IN LIFE!!

MY QUESTIONS IS THIS:

WHY ALL THESE JUDGFMENT DEBTS FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE?

WHY, GHANA "LEADERS", WHY?

WHY CONDUCT YOURSELVES AS THOUGH THERE'S NO "TOMORROW"?

WHY ARE OUR "LEADERS" BEHAVING AS IF OUR NATION GHANA IS SELF-SUFFICIENT IN EVERY DAMN THING ON PLANET EARTH? WHY?

JUDGMENT DEBT PAYOUTS HAVE BECOME AN OBSESSION AMONG GHANA'S CORRUPT LEADERSHIP AT A TIME WHEN THE NATION'S "LEADERSHIP" CONTINUES TO GO CAP-IN-HAND BEGGING EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY FOR FRAUDULENT "TROJAN HORSE" LOANS AND GRANTS OF EVERY CONCEIVEABLE DESCRIPTION, OSTENSIBLY FOR UNDERTAKING "DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS" IN GHANA AND FOR "BUDGETARY SUPPORT" IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY OF NATURAL RESOURCES GOD HAS BLESSED GHANA WITH.

WHAT A COUNTRY AND IT'S CLUELESS USELESS CORRUPT LEADERSHIP!!

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHIT CREATED BY GHANA'S USELESS LEADERSHIP IF WE THE POOR DOWNTRODDEN DO NOT STAGE A BLOODY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO ROOT OUT ALL THESE USELESS "LEADERS" FROM THE CORRIDORS OF POWER IN OUR MOTHERLAND, GHANA!!
