Who ever said Dr.Busia was xenophobic eat your heart out, no Chinois dynasty is permissible, CONSIDERING THE DELETERIOUS effects.

when we ghanaians marry in china,we have no right to work, we have no right to engage in any activities to earn living, our visas are never allowed to migrate from L-tourist visa to any other meaningful one,meaning once you are a black african or ghanaian and marry, YOU must sit at home and care for your family whether dying of whatever,we have no right to wire more than 400$ to ghana at a time, we dare not say we are from africa or ghana,all blacks have to guiled their way through that they are americans,british,australians or canadians before a stinky chinese can smile to you. Poor and hungry Chinese have made their way through to our gold mines in ghana,making fortunes out of ghana,marrying our local women, issued resident permit,something we ghanaians or africans here will never be given for million years,chinese opens casinos and make ghana theirs.why should i be a ghanaian? I hope GOD can blast ghana with hydrogen bomb and grind it into powder and spread it into the dead sea for no such horrible and country of idiots and dirty ghanaians should ever exist

I will not see it as a win win.........
its rather 2:1 for China
The Chinese are digging Africas resources , bring it to China and then process it into products.
Ask urself: who buy these products?
AFRICANS who have to pay for accomodation, visa, stay in China to by the products that were "exploited" from Africa including Ghana.
So at the end the Chinese make more profit than the africans who have to import the the "stolen" products.
sometimes i ask myself if we africans are blind to see the opportunities we have on our dear continent.
Poor chinese, Indians, Lebanese etc. can come to our dear continent and turn into millionaires while we africans continue to starve.
Many people say that necessity is the mother of all inventions
but what do we see today despite the whole water, electricity problems?
Why are we not having water, electritcity companies which are supplying these basic necessities.
people still complain about the terrible infrastructure?
but dont we have architects and engineers?
Can people not form associations to make their voices heard and to be heard?
Nowadays many newspapers say that africa is an emerging market.
But we must ask ourselves do AFRICANS PROFIT FROM IT ? CAN AFRICANS FOLLOW THER INTERESTS AND IS THE CONTINENTS VOICE HEARD?
If u look at the bigger pictue it the non africans companies who are proffiting.
And for africa to be an merging markets u need
1 an (african centered)education
and high numbers of literate adults and youth
2 good infrastructure
3 basic neccesities
Another failure is african leadership. They too complain about the problems africa has and want to propagate african values but do the opposite- they bribe, they conusme european products and go to such an extent that they even practice european values.
So africans we really have to wake up.

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 nuggets from the soil. It is imperative the government knows and understand the extent of pollution and environmental damage being caused by these activities and the long term effects on communities downstream from these mining areas. Why should we care if they are successful at mining or not?
Was it not our government agency that gave out work visas to these Chinese? Was it not our government that was willing to grant Ghanaian citizenship to foreigners because they promised to create jobs through small scale mining? What we must remind ourselves each day in Ghana is our insatiable appetite for foolishness at abnormally higher rate than other nations.
It really behooves me and others with logical processes of thinking to know that our governments, from J.J. Rawlings, through Kufour, Atta Mills and the current president, do sell everything their political party cronies and tribal preferences cannot manage or warp their pea brains around to foreign companies only to see people with average intellect come in and use the same Ghanaian labor force on the cheap to make money while we sit around like the ultimate fools licking our wounds. Are these Chinese smarter than Ghanaians? If the answer is yes then why not allow China to enslave us all over again so we can have something to eat. It is the very same mental set that we used under J.J Rawlings to bring in Malaysians to run our own P&T but only to be sold to Vodafone by a lazy Kufour. It is allowing Mills and Mahama to allow the Chinese also to show us how incompetent we are at attaining mastery of our own destiny.

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 - but not always. In March, a Shanglin man died after being shot 27 times by a robber.

I am saying this and I know that it will not enter the head of most Africans because they have been recreated into the image of foreign gods and were given slave mentality. We will not recover our stolen kingdom of wealth until we come to our senses of not following other gods. Religious colonization has put most Africans to sleep. We cry, fast and pray more than other racial groups but nothing works. Can we wake up before it is too late?

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-scale mining sector alone.
There is no qs left as to the revolutionary skills they have brought to the sector, which are clearly a boon to the gold mining sector in Ghana and to some local people.
What is needed is a serious regulation of these private operators - the chiefs and businessmen - who are bringing in these Chinese and are behind them. These poor Chinese are unjustifiably getting all the blows from the xenophobic attacks, whereas they are also mere preys in an international spiderweb of Big Men exploiting the natural resources of Ghana with reckless abandon.

"Addison says if 100 ballots are issued and it turns out that 110 ballot papers are found in the box what does the witness term it, if it is not over voting.
Asiedu Nketia says it means "unidentified materials" have found its place in the box and will therefore be taken out."
Asiedu Nketiah aka General Mosquito is showing that he has simplistic mind and not worth to be making decisions on behalf of any party or country. If 100 ballot papers are issued and you find 110 ballots papers in the box after counting, you take ten out or what he terms "unidentified materials" How do you identify undentify materials when all the ballot papers look the same? How do you select the ten that should be thrown out? The ten votes for Mahama or ten votes for Nana Akuffo Addo or you take five of each candidate? What about if you have one candidate with 102 of the votes and another one with just three votes? How do you decide which votes to take out? Folks, not only is it possible you can have one candidate having 102 of the votes and another having only three. It happened a lot in Volta region where Mahama in some polling stations was getting 302 votes, Akuffo Addo with five and other candidates having zeros.
This is the guy Ndc has been praising to know the laws of the electoral commission even than Afari Gyan. That is not how the electoral law stipulates in the scenerio Lawyer Addison presented. The EC law stipulates that, in such a scenerio as lawyer Addison presented, the whole 110 votes should be discarded, that is it should not be part of the final count to judge who won the election. Is Asiedu Nkwtiah paying for his illiterate description of over voting?
Now let's complicate the scenerio given by Lawyer Addison and Asiedu Nketiah's simpleton answer. Let's assume Mahama gets 100 of the 110 votes, Akuffo Addo, 4, Nduom, 3, Ayariga, 2 and CPP 1, how do you sellect the ten that should be discarded? Maybe genius Asiedu has devised a mathemathecal formula about how to tackle that problem and we are all ears waiting to hear from him. What a comic this cassava stick is.
