In Africa any fool can become a leader and that is our problem. Most African leaders are self seeking idiots, brainless illiterates and autocrats. AU is a useless gathering of brainless FOOLS.

Unfortunately the writing of bogus contracts started with Nkrumah, the VALCO contract had to be re-negotiated by Rawlings in 1985 to make it more equitable. Unfortunately, the West and I guess now China is able to bamboozle even the best of us.
The question I have always asked is how do you unite a whole continent when we don’t have unity in our countries? You can’t compare the continent of Africa with the country of China – China is more homogenous and ruled with a heavy hand. It is just a matter of time before the uneasy quietness in China explodes, especially now with the Internet exposing some of the rot in China and many of the CCP members sending their own children to elite universities in the West to study. Chinese are yearning for freedom.
Remember that the prosperity of China has nothing to do with its population but more so with opening of his markets after the death of Maoism in the last 30 or so years. China sells more now than it buys albeit in some cases inferior goods. In fact China’s GDP is lower than any country in the West due to the vast population and poverty in the country.
I still think until we are able to bring unity into our countries, and have the money to back AU instead of relying on the West and China to fund the budget; the unity of Africa would just be a dream that would not be lived.

AFRICAN LEADERS SHOULD BE THESE:
STRATEGIC AND NOT TACTICAL IN THEIR DEALINGS,DISPLAY WISDOM FROM ON HIGH BUT NOT CONVENTIONAL.THEY SHOULD BE MEN OF INTEFRITY AND NOT DECEITFUL,LIARS,UNTRUSTWORTHY & UNRELIABLE.
THEY HAVE TO BE SELF-DECIPLINED AND NOT COMPROMISING ANYHOW IN DECISION-MAKING,EXPECIALLY ON OUR FINANCES.
AVOID BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION THEMSELVES,BUT CURB IT.
HAVE TO BE DISCERNING,HAVING PROGRESSIVE VISION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA.
HAVE TO BE ENTERPRISING TO ENSURE COMPETENCE & COMPETIVENESS IN THE WORLDWIDE TRADE CIRCLES,TO AVOID BEING CHEATED.
THEY SHOULD RECOGNIZE OUR DISTINCTIVE DIFFERENCE FROM OTHERS,SO AFRICA WOULD KNOW WHAT MATTERS TO US THE MOST.ONLY THEN,COULD WE WALK AWAY FROM THE TRIVIAL(WHAT DOES NOT MATTER TO US).WHY?
BECAUSE ONE'S SIGNIFICANCE,IS NOT IN HIS SIMILARITY TO ANOTHER,BUT IN HIS POINT OF DIFFERENCE FROM ANOTHER.
FOR AFRICA TO SUCCEED,SHE HAS TO KNOW HER DISTINTIVE DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER CONTINENTS,ENTIRELY.SO WE WOULD KNOW WHERE WE CAN OPERATE BEST,TO AVOID A WASTE OF OUR DEAR TIME AND RESOURCES AS WELL.BECAUSE TIME IS THE ONLY GIFT GOD GAVE TO MANKIND EQUALLY:THERE ARE 24 HOURS IN EVERY COUNTRY,TOWN,CITY,VILLAGE.
HOW WE EXPEND IT,DETERMINES WHAT COMES TO US(OUR REWARD OR PAY).ONE'S REWARD IN LIFE IS DETERMINED BY THE KIND OF PROBLEM(GOODS & SERVICES) HE SOLVES(RENDERS).
THEY HAVE TO HAVE WISDOM IN DECISION-MAKING TO AVOID MISTAKES.BECAUSE OUR DECISION(S) CONTROL OUR FUTURE.AFRICA'S FUTURE IS IN THE HANDS OF WRONG PEOPLE,IF AFRICA HAS NOT,AS YET,MADE THE KIND OF STRIDES IT SHOULD HAVE MADE.
OUR LEADERS SHOULD AWAKE AND TAKE BACK AFRICA,THEY HAVE SOLD TO FOREIGNERS KIKE:CHINA,THE WESTERN.
BLOCK ETC.
WE HAVE TO KNOW DIFFERENCE AND BE VIGILANT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENNING IN OUR ENVIROMENT IN STRICT ALERTNESS,SO WE COULDN'T BE CAUGHT UP UNAWARE.
WE HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH,AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR AFRICA.
GOD BLESS AFRICA!IN JESUS' NAME,

Both Mahama and Murtala Mohammed need to shut up. NDC honours Kotoka, the traitor and paid mercenary who overthrew Nkrumah. What is on the mind of Mahama, as he addresses the AU, knowing well that he flew from "Kotoka International Airport" in Accra and will return to the same from Addis. Even the Bible says clearly (Matthew 6:24): "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

Let Mahama and the entire NDC leadership and their puppets and operatives like Kwesi Pratt shut the F up! We are alert and see through their hypocrisy and lip service.

How many people are languishing in prison in Kim J. Un's North Korea for just speaking against the government. Were people even not arrested for not weeping well when the former president of North Korea died? You can give people all the manufactured goods but best of all, people want freedom.
Yes Nkrumah did some good for Ghana but was a dictator. Did he even ever had a Vice President? He wanted to be president for life. What kind of government did he want to establish? Then there was the PDA. What a dictatorship. If the people of North Korea are happy, why does the government prevent them from leaving the country? Trying to go to South Korea is punishable by long term imprisonment. Many North Koreans will find it a blessing to live in Ghana.

Owing to the hatred, tey cannot think that Nkrumah was in USA before most of them to ever think of making Ghana communist state. That alone would not have worked. Because the cultures of Ghana would not have accepted. As a little, I would have grown to challenge that. A little toughness help him to put certain things down against democracy, most of the things we have could not have been. And the inheritted monies would have gone to personal pockets. Ghana would have been in it dark ages. We had factories in his days and all collapsed under stupid graduates who were trying to appease their masters will.

Fine job on the brief history. The resistance to the idea of continental government did not come outside Ghana but within Ghana. There were forces receiving funds from abroad to disrupt the unification of the continent. There are several books (In search of enemies being one) that attest to this fact. Even CIA documents released under the Freedom of Information Act confirmed. Unfortunately, we are our own enemies. Now colonialism has come back to Africa in different guises. The question is what are we going to do about it? Let's start with education. Uneducated populace is a threat to even the small freedom we have today. Food for thought.

Folks, why are we still calling on Nkrumah? Is he the only person the continent had produced with a head on his shoulders? If he was that good, why was he kicked out of office? The mistakes he did doom him and it is about time we make sure to paddle our canoe well on the high rough sea because any rogue wave can cause our demise with him.

After George Washington and co built the US and left, those who followed them use their brains to continue what they did. They are not calling on their past leaders to come back like we are doing.

We have laws in the books that should be implemented to tackle the nauseating stench of corruption, greed, injustice, nepotism, jealousy, dishonesty, stealing, envy, laziness, moral decay etc that will make our continent a paradise yet, what exactly do we see?

Nkrumah is dead and gone. We have to sit up and think and act like humans with brains and eschew all the vices destroying our very existence. Till then we are fighting a losing battle.

A deputy Minister in the coup government is counting the decline of coups as an achievement in Africa? This is like saying the likes of Jerry Rawlings were the problems of Africa to start with. In the same vein Africa will measure its development with the demise of gangs like the NDC. Childish talk. It is easy for a continent of oppressed and enslaved people to come together to sing a song of lamentation but a continental government in Africa was impracticable, insane and ill-conceived. Oh, yes, Nelson Mandela knows Nkrumah better. Nkrumah and Jerry Rawlings were great risk takers but they were no great leaders. As for Ghaddafi, anyone who thought he was a great leader because he talked about African Unity and a continental government must seek medical attention. Ghaddafi was only looking for a massive continental army to protect him against what he knew was imminent. He got only got what he deserved.

Murtala Mohammed is not suggesting anything.Nkrumah was an advocate of Africa High Command and African Common Market over fifty years ago.It was rather the imperialists notably Britain and United States which prevented Nkrumah from achieving his goal realising that a United Africa would be a force to reckon with,and not the misconception that he had a hidden agenda to rule Africa.

That dream of Nkrumah was a dream and just that. Why do you still waste your brains and words expanding on this? Do you believe our continent will be led one day by an African? Please get real!!

Did Mahama thought through when he considered this fickle minded person to be the spokesperson of NDC. This is the time we need a lot of sympathy from the larger Ghanaian populace including the NPP. His utterances create a lot of disaffection for us. His boss Ayariga is more cultured and can appeal to people when he is delivering. The amateur behaves like in a debating club or on a political platform. Jerry never considered more northerners in his cabinet because of what is being exhibited by this simpleton.
