  • kd 10 years ago

    our so called leaders are simply buffooneries and do not have the slightest clue in terms of how to govern a country. in Ghana, any stupid thing can become a leader and no wonder we are where we are!

  • Abeeku Mensah 10 years ago

    Who cares how they are doing it? What Ghanaians and our so-called government ought to do is halt all small scale mining processes until such a time the government can ascertain what chemicals are being used to expose gold nug ...

    Life in Ghana, however, is far from a fairy tale. Shanglin workers say they are frequently threatened and robbed, if not harassed by corrupt local officials. On many occasions, they say they were able to buy their way out - b ...

    As a No Borders internationalist, I've no objection to foreigners working in Ghana too, so long as the exchange is reciprocal. But I must admit I was surprised at the number of 50,000 Chinese said to be working in the small- ...

    A COUNTRY BLESSED WITH RICHES BUT LANGUISHING IN POVERTY BECAUSE OF POOR, VISIONLESS AND CORRUPT LEADERSHIP.

    So the local Ghananaians cannot mine the mines themselves? What is the Ghanaian government looking at?

  • Auric Goldfinger 10 years ago

    OK, I'll let the secret out! It's not fair for the Chinese to keep this secret to themselves...
    I've stolen the secret front them and translated it into English.
    Secret is called "getting off your lazy ass and working!"
