What a bunch of low IQ stupid cluless fools in govt doing nothing but looting the nation dry.

We have a long way to go as a nation. Such a beautiful nation had been incapacitated by visionless leaders because the IQ is just not there.

All the IQ had equiped them to do is the ability to loot. Thieves!

These are all lies. For 4years now, this loan will simply not come. The Chinese govt knew Prof Mills was a little more sincere, and will invest the money appropriately. Since he died, they simply don't trust anyone in this current government. That is why they have refused to release the amount, period.

when fools meets one should not be surprised by the stupidity they can produce . Ghana is more aware of the ethnic divisions than ever before because it really does matter . people think that democracy is only about winner takes all elections and do not understand its also a style of governance. pepeni and his ndc idiots would like to implement an authoritarian dictatorship but are too weak so settle for massa , yes sir boss and these stupid recognitions, meanwhile their incompetent govt no dey see top to do anything better.ideas and desires centuries old such as the free Akan state are attacked by their illiterate foot-soldiers who are frightened that this will come to be so they try and write superficially sick commentaries that can never succeed in hiding the truth , long live the republic of Akan

Stole over Ghc8 billion and now going to borrow $3 billion ?

The Mahama govt exceeded its expenditure target by incurring a budget deficit of 12% last year 2012, which was over GHc8 billion with nothing to show for it.

And they are proud to go aborrowing $3billion from the chinese ?

Are these stealers serious at all ?

The Ghc8 billion which is roughly a little over $4 billion and the $3 billion chinese loan, which is bigger ?

If the govt could obtain Ghc8 billion from our own resources to buy 'migrating guinea fowls', why then go borrow $3 billion from the chinese ?

These stealers are bent on making Ghana a highly indebted poor country (hipc)again.

Thieves with no sense of shame.

The CHINESE,needs us more than we need them.But our leaders failed to recognize this.
THE CHINESE BENEFIT MORE FROM GHANA,THAN GHANA FROM THEM.
They need our RAW MATERIALS TO PRODUCE THEIR CHEAP INFERIOR PRODUCTS TO DUMP THEM IN AFRICA.
We should know that the WESTERN WORLD,has exhausted them of their NATURAL RESOURCES,POLUTED THEIR NATION,MADE MARKET OUT OF THEIR HIGH POPULATION,SOLD THEIR INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY TO THEM,AND ALSO FILLED THEIR(WESTERN WORLD) OWN COUNTRIES WITH MUCH MORE CHEAPER BUT BWTTER QUALITY PRODUCTS.
ISN'T THAT A WIN,WIN SITUATION FOR THE WESTERN BLOCK?
WHAT HAS AFRICA DONE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CHINA?
I believe,we should rather try to sell,at least,CEMI-PROCESSED MATERIALS to the CHINESE but not IN CRUDE FORM,so we could also add value to it,as well as,providing EMPLOYMENT AVANUES FOR OUR YOUTH AND PROMOTE/ENHANCE INDUSTRIALIZATION.
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE FAILED,BECAUSE OUR LEADERS DO NOT GET IT.
I HARDLY BELIEVE,WHAT OUR AFRICAN LEADERS GO TO SAY,WHEN THEY MEET AT THE UN SUMMITS.

Here's the deal folks! GHANA, we're delaying loan b'cos you dare to deport 18 wonderful Chinese citizens, never mind thet were robbing you of your valuables. Now know this, you are not say a word when the Chinese commit atrocities against your stinking nationals. Not even when we kill your " stupid " nationals when they dare to cross us.
You will repay loan with your precious metals, five times more than the $3b because we will dictate price. Meanwhile, allow the Chinese to continue with the illegal minings. Ok?
Now go enjoy some wonderful Chinese fried rice and we will take care of you soon!

The incompetent and corrupt men in power hold the notion that this nation is beholden to the highest bidder. Why not? That's the opportunity to fulfill their lifetime ambition of raking some illegal wealth for themselves. Their rags to riches stories are well known to ghanaians and those who have a little wealth before jumping on the gravy train are in for reverse Robin Hood. They rob from the poor and give to themselves. This NDC administration has borrowed more money from external sources than all administrations combined, from Nkrumah to date ,yet most of Ghana is in slum-like and ghost town- like conditions. Very soon Ghana will be owned by the Chinese. Why ? Because the one who pays the piper calls the tune. It's also in line with Chinese imperialist plans. If you need consolation we're not alone. The Chinese are all over Africa, the Carribbeans and South and North America.

AYARIGA,HAHAMA & NDC SHOULD NOT BE PROUD ABOUT RECEIVING LOANS FOR GHANA,BUT START TO BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES,SINCE THAT SHOWS,GHANA IS STILL CRAWLING LIKE A BABY,BEGGING FOR HIS MOTHER TO HELP HIM STAND ON HIS TWO FEET,TO WALK.
WE WOULD BE TAKEN FOR A RIDE,ALWAYS,AS LONG AS WE MAKE THEM THINK,WE NEED THEM.BUT CHINA NEEDS GHANA,WE SHOULD KNOW THAT.
IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY,THE COMMON MAN ON THE STREET IS STILL SUFFERING.
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE,WE ARE STILL NOT SELF-RELIANT,THOUGH KUTU ACHEAMPONG,PREACHED IT OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO.
WE HAVE GOLD,DIAMONDS,COCOA,MANGANESE,BAUXITE,URANIUM,OIL + GAS,CHEAP LABOUR FORCE,YET WE GO ABEGGING FOR ARMS EVERY NOW AND THEN.
GHANA SHOULD GROW FROM BABY STATE,AND BE WEANED,FROM HER MOTHER'S BREAT FEEDING.
WHEN WILL GHANA GIVE OUT LOANS?
WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF OURSELVES.

So to appease us for the destruction of our environment with their galamsey activities and killing our people, the Chinese Government dangles more money at us and we been so stupid take it gleefully and continue to sell our sovereignty and birthright to them. It is a matter of if you need our money, then you allow our people in. They know how cheap and greedy our leaders are. We are still going round with bowl in hand despite our oil revenues. It is time we the people denounce this Chinese invasion into our country. It was the Fulanis yesterday, it's the Chinese today, who is it going to be tomorrow? Just what are we leaving for our children and children's children. Posterity will never forgive us if we do not act now to stop this destruction of our ecosystem.

stop mortgaging ghana's oil to china for loans that will be halfly used for its intention and only God knows where the remaining amount will be. cant we use some of our oil funds to gradually generate some projects. are we so in need and why is our govt rushing on projects. there is more money at tema harbour than china loan focus there, where millions of cedis find their way into custom officers pocket rather than the govt coffers. its very pathetic. this forged marriage between ghana and china will consume ghana. hmmmm we are in very deep trouble. is ghana now a chinese managed economy "apu"
