I say if my president is beginning to doubt our , coequallness, then I say Marcus Garvey said they will never treat us as equals. He also argued that there is enough of us on the globe . One billion of us.
Our leaders have to be willing. I think our leaders don't have the political Will. WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY.

Nigeria boasts the biggest Armed Forces and biggest national economy in Africa, yet cannot stand the rag-tag Boko Haram. It is said how the soldiers bolt for their lives at the sight of Boko Haram operatives.

This is a Nigerian war. They must stand and fight it. They have always lied to the world that all was in control.

Rawlings sent soldiers to Northern Ghana to take care of the Kokomba and Nanumba skirmishes. The right level of force was used, and the unrest was brought under control although with high collateral damage (loss of lives). But that was necessary.

Yet it was only this week that Nigeria accepted help from the U.S., Britain, France and China.

After Nkrumah, I've never believed in any African Leader.

Mahama, for sure is not someone I will even equate to being a leader because of the way he and his thieving cronies of politicians have drained Ghana's coffers dry.

If this piece is really attributed to Mahama then this is the wisest pronouncement I've ever heard come out of his mouth.

I'm not sure if this is because this case involves ourchildren. African children for that matter.

Chiidren everywhere are our future and for Africa, who knows if one of these children could grow up to be the great African leader we've been yearning for since Nkrumah.

So for this particular time only, I will give Mahama KUDOS.
If only he could show this astuteness in all other areas of his governance of Ghana, maybe our beautiful Ghana wouldn't be in such a mess.

I'm not holding my breath though, because his record tells me otherwise.

Maybe he's just 'showboating' because he is on the world stage now. That will be very sad because there are children involved here and it will feel like the girls have been'tortured' for the 2nd time. First by BOKO HARAM for kidnapping them and then by Mahama for using their plight to popularize himself.

God help Africa!!!!

Marcus, everybody is talking about how to get rid of Boko Haram and all the other groups out there forgotten that destitution, sense of not belonging, neglect and what have you, helped bring all these entities to the mainstream before the world we know of today. Now, let us put Nigeria into a critical perspective here, shall we? A country with a huge natural resources, some being oil and gas in huge quantities, untapped iron ore, Barites, Gypsum, Kaolin, Marble, Lead/Zinc, Bentonite, Baryte, Gold, Coal, Rock Salt, Gemstones, just to mention but a few.

Yet, these above mentioning are just considered as the traditional natural resources. Now, just imagine what their vast arable land could bring extra on board if fully developed. It is against this backdrop that it is exceedingly difficult to understand why all is going terrible wrong with Nigeria and the answer is not far fetch if you are to ask me. Is Nigerian story any uniquely different from the rest of the countries in Africa? Well, I sincerely don’t think so.

Boko Harram seems to me like a controlled fire set by Nigerian politicians that has gotten out of hand and hijacked by external terrorist groups. It is a crude Nigeria internal problem. Even the Nigerian government could orchestrate the missing of the girls to garner support. The presidency was twisted from the hands of the northerners. It's their turn and Jonathan knows this . for goodness sake he must not seek second tenure else we are going to see the worst. This problem must be handled with care to keep Nigeria together. Boko Haram is everywhere in Nigeria. They are in the military, police among the politicians as well as other walks of life.If Nigeria breaks into civil war West Africa cannot contain the refugees and our systems would paralyse including the economies and security. No solution to Boko Harram until Nigerian politicians become sincere to each other and solve the problem amicably . our version of it would have been the all die be die approach that did not hold because of political maturity on the part of our politicians. There is nothing good about the Boko Harram approach and the worst of it is that it has been hijacked by the extremist and those who started it have lost control of it.the Boko Harram people are Nigerians who are disgruntled and practising all die be die in the extreme way . its just my opinion and I don't mean to hurt any body's feelings. To save ourselves, our elections must be clean and transparent devoid of ways and means.long live Ghana my beloved country.

Ghanaians are the biggest fools in the world, it is only in Ghana that minutest global issues which has nothing to do directly with Ghana that gets their President insulted and derided like a common man on the street. I wonder whether freedom of speech being enjoyed in Ghana includes freedom to insult not only tge President but virtually everybody persieved to be a political opponent. I have come to realise Ghanaians are bunch of uncivilised stupid biggots in the world who in the 21s century still think a section of Ghanaian populace are unqualified to rule this country, thus choose to by their daily utterances talk down upon them and make them look unintelligent enough to belong to the ruling class.

Ghana is ignorantly and daily romancing civil strife like it happened in Code D'Ivore, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali and once in Nigeria, my prayer is that may God let it happen someday, probably that will settle permanently the senseless attempt by others who themselves can be passed for a second rated blacks when compared with other civilised, better educated and rich individual elsewhere on the African continent. Surprised how these biggots came to see themselves above others without nothing to show for it except vague comparism of an undeveloped and ever backward custom of a kingdom that add nothing to their wellbeing. These are the same biggots when get accross the boarders of Ghana tend to be criminals, prostitutes and street cleaners in other African countries. I cannot wait to see this disrespect to other tribes in Ghana turn to a full scale tribal war so as to settle once and for all who scourge disrespect from these cowards.

Mr President, when you lazy African leaders stop stealing these 'black poor African' children's money, and channel this money into building good schools, hospitals and basic infrastructure, the world will recognize your efforts and assist in times of need. When you so called THIEVES who have imposed yourselves on poor Africans as LEADERS stop traveling to Europe and the US for medical care on the least sickness, and channel that stolen money into developing our human resource, the west will recognize our efforts and help. Look at Nigeria, a country rich in everything yet their citizens live in squalor. These stupid leaders supposedly live in huge mansions surrounded by filth. Their simple thinking makes them feel they are doing good in life. We are slowly following Nigeria. The underlying cause of this Boko Haram is POVERTY. African Presidents and its leaders, please stop the stealing and corruption, and the poor black African children will also be free!

DO AFRICAN POLITICIANS LISTEN TO THE WORLD? LOOK CLOSELY AROUND AND YOU SEE AND READ ABOUT CONFLICTS AND ATROCITIES BY AFRICAN LEADERS THAT MAKE THE WORLD WONDER WHERE ARE WE LEADING THE CONTINENT. DUE TO GREED, AFRICANS HAVE NOT KNOWN PEACE BUT WARS AND CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHEN WILL THE INNOCENT INHABITANTS OF AFRICA HAVE PEACE AND NOT CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE LAND OF AFRICA. YOU ARE THE CHAIR PERSON OF ECOWAS, TELL YOUR COLLEAGUES WE NEED PEACE TO PREVAIL.
