To cap the positive news, last month, Ghana’s media, referring to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, reported that “after almost nine hours of surgery by 17 doctors of the hospital, the conjoint twins have been separated successfully.”"Joy Online

What a hogwog half baked truth reports. Which conjoint twins was successfully separated in Ghana? The DEAD ones or the laboratelly experimented one? ~Can you give us their names and where they live, (if at all they are 'successfully' separated) in Ghana?

Well said my friend! This is exactly what our politicians need to hear. It's unfortunate that we don't have LEADERS but rather politicians who pay back their debts to family and friends who sponsored their campaigns through contracts and money laundering when they get in power. How can a continent like Africa suffer hunger when we have some of the most fertile lands in the world. Modernization and "europeanism" is killing us. We downgrade anything Africa and buy the fake foods and other items being pushed into our land in the name of business expansion and establishment. Mr. Clinton nailed it for me. Why can't our office holders not leaders share the national cake so everybody can enjoy a piece of it. We need yo educate our voters of what is important so they can vote right, instead allowing themselves to be bribed by these political thieves when it's time to vote. We see both the affluence and the poverty in our backyards everyday but unfortunately, most of turn a blind eye and go about our business just because we are lucky enough to have a job that barely feeds our families and pay the bills. We all need to be accountable to each other and raise our voices to stop these nonsensical behaviours of our so called elected politicians. If they want to be leaders, they should learn from the likes of Bill Clinton who left a surplus at the end of his tenure in office and continues to work with the current administration to make life better for all of us. The uncalled for nonsense of tribalism is bringing Ghana down so fast. We shouldn't forget what happened in Rwanda.Thanks to the writer for reminding us all again of what is important in todays world.

They want ot anull the result by fake means but God no agree, I told you that the evil Nana Akufo-Addo cocian adict, the looser, is fake immigration lawer,they even by fake means maid him Nana becouse by thier tradition he drunk from the human skull and should be named Nana and that meens when he dies children's head will be cut off for more skulls for the evil Ahsanti Akyim Akans chiefs and expresident Kufuor. Thier knowledge is to jail inteligent ewes, and hard working ghanaians, for they the stupid evil cocain dellers to rule Ghanaians, Such people should never be Head of State for the land Ghana. God will never allow them. By Gods love we shall fight them and they will always be the loosers.

How much money did this man make when he was with NPP? Why is he now in the USA? Because the NPP gravy train is no longer around. Hypocrite.

Why has the man ran to the USA? Why has he abandoned his practice in Ghana where we need his services most. The good doctor has no credibility to lecture us on development because his example stinks!!

By any standards this is a very brilliant piece from one of Ghana's finest writers in recent times.

The difficulty with trying to bridge the gap between the have and the have nots in our recent history is that we tried to destroy the rich and we are all living witnesses to what those so called revolutionaries did in the end - they became the new rich class basking in all manner of wealth and opulence.

Let us note that you never will help the poor by destroying the rich, and as Dr. Arthur Kennedy has put: "Let us have job-centred economic growth so that more of the under-class will move up and join the middle class".

Who can tell how old is that building in the picture? That tells you the seriousness of GHanas problems. It tells you, How good it is to keep party like NNNNNPPPPPPPPP out of power for the next 100 years.

Greediness to maintain power, wealth and win power in Africa lead to neglect of our priorities. How can a government waste money to sponsor pastors just to pray in Israel, when most people can't even afford 2 meals a day?

The ruling government wants, to find favour with Pastors, having fallen out with some of them before the election.
conscienceless or dogmatic political agenda is killing Ghana at the detriment of improving our educational system, which is now a see-saw at the secondary level. In Ghana, the highest institutional fraud has taken place and still the government keeps defending its party members who have perpetuated these wanton vices.
