Mr. Brainless, you always adopts the easiest path, which is always the most expensive.

Please this is not a prudent decision at all.This ebola has to be confined and controlled and eventually eradicated. That is why even in countries hit by ebola the people are quarantined

I pray the international community not to stage any supplies in Ghana, Ebola virus supplies should be staged where needed and anywhere but Ghana. President Mahama knows no shame to suggest this. We can't account for our own goods, never mind goods belonging to the world for the needy victims of Ebola. Please leave Ghana's name out of this, we have endure enough shame already. The intention is good but the end result will be disastrous for Ghana.

Will Ghana also be the staging post for transporting Ebola-stricken Foreign doctors who are being flown out of Ebola zones for treatment in Europe/USA.
Hmmmmm!!!!!!!

Does Mahana understand the implications of what he has unleashed. Why flirt with Ebola when you can't even manage garden variety cholera? It appears this ECOWAS chairmanship nonsense is going into his head.

Truly this Ecowas chairmanship is getting in the way of the presidents discretion and judgement. We have health professionals who are trained in health matters and he should listen to their advice and stop trying to take decisions by himself that are not his business to take. Does he really understand the implications of what he is saying.

I dare the international community not to take this bait, and the affected countries themselves needs to speak up AGAINST this idea and thank his Excellency for the offer to help. If the supplies are eventually going to end up in the affected countries, what good does it make to bring them to Accra for the THIEVES to steal them. ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD, THIS OFFER NEEDS TO BE DECLINED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. I'm a Ghanaian and loves my country but this will bring us shame. No disrespect Mr. President, but rescind your decision and tell them you don't TRUST your people to take care of the goods that will be stationed at the post.

His former minister informed us that the ugly lesbian, ole litur bought the elections for him. Ghanaians are too smart to infect ourselves with this man. He probably bought his degree as well. He is sending our soldiers to the ebola zone thinking the ebola virus will be afraid when they see them carrying guns. Up to now, adequate protective clothing have not been provided to the front line staff. Donkeys can never rule

President Mahama should be careful how he handles this humanitarian work of offering Ghana for the supplies. This should not be a matter of giving directives but it should be well thought of and implemented to create problem for us.
He has been noted to be insensitive to the people of Ghana when it comes to deciding on the supply of utilities and fuel to the people. The cost of fuel and utilities are transferred to the people without any thought of offering some relieve to the people. He will not subsidize but has money to deploy in areas which don’t benefit the people who gave him the power to govern the country.

They say prevention is better than cure. Mr. Prez your concerns are genuine but very hard to take. Opening Ghana the way you plan will kill us. Ebola will surely arrive soon. But if I may ask, why did you keep public universities closed? So if people are preventing ebola by isolating the affected countries, leet them do.

Our Country cannot even manage it's gabbage and cholera is killing our people. In the light of this I think will risky for for us to use Accra of all places as a staging post for this deadly Ebola disease.iI don't blame the President because he knows Ghanaians will not hold him directly responsible if there is an outbreak as a result of this decision. Can anyone imagine how Ghana will look like in the event of an Ebola outbreak coupled with the Economic mess that we find ourselves today.

He gets excited very easily and his decision are based on less thoughtfulness.

He is quick to say anything without having made any prior assessment as what the consequences really are about what he says or promises

John Mahama is smooth talking all the way. Why can't the supplies be flown or shipped directly to the affected countries, Under this dangerous emergency situation do we need a post.

What we know of Ebola is it is most likely caused by people who consume bush meat; some bush animals that eat vegetation and others animals may be contaminated by droppings from bats. After those initial infections, family members that may not be in the knowing, other friends and acquaintance and or medical facilities workers who by accident or for cause share any fluids with infected people are bound to get infected.
Ghanaians need to get into a hypersensitive mode of cleanliness like never before. We may need to ban sale of some bush meat and limit the sale of bush meat along side of other meats or other market hawkers. Segregation may be required and it is to health and safety of Ghanaians.

Mahama just talks what he thinks people want to hear. Given the medical facilities in Ghana is he ready if the virus was to come to Ghana. Our economy is already devastated due to his bad decisions and if Ebola was to also cross over we would be in a terrible state. Quarantine is the initial measure once you have it under control you can then allow free movement.totallu inexperienced president learning on the job and costing a lot of money and if care not taken lives also

THE SAME IBOLA DIESEASE WAS DISCOVERED HERE IN THE U.S. IN 1980. THE AMASING THING IS, THE MEDICATION THAT THEY GAVE TO THE DR. AND THE AIDE WORKER TO BE RECORVERED WERE ALSO GIVEN TO THE CATHOLIC PRIEST BUT HE DIED IN SPAIN.
HOW COME THAT THEY DIDN'T DIE BUT HE DID?
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE SMALL POX SAGA IN SOUTH AMERICA, WHEN THEY WENT THERE TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE, AND THE NEXT THING THEY KNEW WAS THEY WERE BEING INFECTED WITH SMALL POX VIRUS.
IVORY COAST & SENEGAL ARE CLOSER TO THE AFFECTED AREA SO WHY DO THEY WANT GHANA TO BE THEIR COMMAND POST ? BECAUSE THE FRENCH WONT LET THEM.

What's wrong with this guy??? Is he alright??? He can't even ensure that cholera is brought under control in his own country, but now wants to take on Ebola? Wonders shall never end. No wonder he rigged the elections. Such a big fool. Thanks to idiots like Abeku Santana who campaigned and stole the hearts of the innocent Ghanaians to vote for Mahama. Another one to watch is The so called Captain Smart not to be trusted.
