first law of economics is supply and demand , second is never produce anything if there is no market for it . we have the market so we can industrialize sooner or later , hand it over freely to the Europeans no matter how well packaged and the future of our children are doomed. i dont see the Europeans offering the other benefits such as the freedom of movement and insisting on visa free entry into their countries. they are not offering half a trillion for infrastructural development and real assistance in bettering the standard of the people of west Africa . this is a war that will destroy any chances of self reliance and self development . see what they have done to our poultry , fish and beef industry . until we have people who understand the issues and the true hidden agendas and dangers of such a one sided agreement where the benefits are only for the Europeans we should not engage in any such devastating experiments . EPA is being pushed now because they are aware pepeni is an illigimate president , even now the video of the murder of atta mills is being circulted in private circles and one day soon he will be overthrown so he is rushing to put another yoke and burden on the people of Akan. this govt can only borrow and can not even secure investments of 30 billion dollars how do they expect to handle a multitrillion agreement which in reality denies your own people the right to develop their own industry. our industrial base is less than 3% by the way. lets not allow this foolishness to pass ,

Still begging the west. I am sure if the tables were turned and we had the money and the technology we would be begging the west for resources. Enough is enough, we have got everything we need apart from people with brains to lead us at the helm of affairs. Even brains we have got plenty, shame brawn is ruling now.

Was it not this very guy few weeks ago supporting the EPA? Did someone else finished his home work for him now?
And does he understand what he meant by saying EU should dole out money to protect "their interest" in a sovereign nation of Ghana?
Does these people know what it is to be NATIONALIST?

While we are fighting the monopoly of food production and Monsato GMO's seeds campaign, the head of EU delegation Mr Maertrn disregard our concern by stressing that the EU will introduce the creation of new high quality crops, what is he referring to. this is one of the few examples that we as concerned communities see this proposed agreements as dictating towards African vulnerable countries, capable to do trade within the continent. When green revolution was introduced in Africa, they said that it is the new Agricultural system to feed the Africans who are suffering from hunger and malnutrition, yet the food system still does not reach the most vulnerable Africans, because it is made to serve the market not the people in need. we see Mr Maertrn repeating the same statement that failed Africa,

What Mr. Maerten insidiously meant here
is in plain language the introduction of GMO crops in Ghana. Wait and see. Africans should not always lower their guard.

What kind of govt do we have in ghana. Fuseina and Hanna had their pen ready only the other day to sign this EPA.
What a U-turn, thanks to all those who helped stop the useless govt from signing any agreement they never read.
Ghana and african countries sign the same pact in June 2000, what is wrong with it that demand a new agreement.
Ghana and Africa is not the play park for EU. Africa should and must stand strong as equal to the EU.
Shame to the NDC govt.

Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah advised Ghana to be on our guards about the ravages of Neo Colonialists. After independence they will come in different shapes and forms to enslave us more than what the Colonialists did.

We need a referendum. Let the people decide, not only some politicians, since we are going to chop this or any agreement for decades to come. Referendum now!
