Imani and other think tanks appear from nowhere and the question I always ask myself is who is funding them. I whole heartedly agree with them when they are having a go at the donkey mahama but the likes of Imani and casely hayford supported EPA and some even support GM food.
This increases my suspicion that they are foreign agents who do not have our interest at heart.
Let's make no mistake about the intellect of the African. I have seen Chinese, Europeans, Indians in the same classroom and I have no doubt that we can compete with anyone. Question is what is the problem. Let's cast our minds back. Margaret Thatcher's son was arrested in Zimbabwe for plotting to install a puppet leader in Equatorial Guinea. If that plot was successful everyone would have been pointing at the leadership and using him as an example of poor African leadership. Our own Ghana had the CIA installing traitors in place of Nkrumah, even during Acheampong's time, the student riots was organised by the CIA using the likes of Andrew Young who visited Ghana around that time.
The francophone countries are all being controlled by France. In a nutshell, Africa has no leaders. We have dogs whom are being controlled by the masters from the west. Our own mahama was being investigated by mills before he mysteriously died. He is accused of using all kinds of machinations to steal power yet the hypocritical West kept quiet.
We need something new. What that is I can't say at the moment but we certainly need to change.

Many thanks for your lecture in the heart of the country where the independence of the black Africans was first achieved by the late president Dr.Nkrumah in March 06th 1957. Taking the look at what in Dr. Nkrumah did within the period of 1957 to 1966, when he was overthrown by the of military led by Afrifah, Kotoka and the associate colleagues engineered by he west; Ghana could be boasted of good roads, railways, new buildings of ministries estate houses in all the regions, Ghana black Star shipping lines, Ghana Airways, Ghana telecommunications all maintained sailed and flew by Ghanaian trained engineers, captaians, pilots stewardesses and air hostesses. All these have bee sold of by Kufour and the NPP military supporters. THIS PARTYM SHOULD be banned in Ghana.

The misery of Africans is benefing the neo colonialists. To this end their conscience have been sold to the West. If our leaders begins to think, our resources can no more be plundered to the benefit of the western economies.

The hands of the African leader is tied behind him, subjecting them to whims and caprices of the almighty West.

EGYA OPAYIN PROFESSOR,IT IS BECAUSE THE NOISY EDUCATED PEOPLE IN GHANA AND AFRICA DO NOT THINK, CANNOT PERFORM AND ARE NOT PRODUCTIVE, THAT,IS WHY THEY ALWAYS CONTINUE TO HIDE BEHIND THE CURTAINS AND TO BLAME EVERY GOVERNMENT IN POWER FOR BEING THE CAUSE OF ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES AND CHALLENGES FACING THE COUNTRY.
IT IS VERY EASY TO EXPLAIN EDUCATION.NO HUMAN BEINGS ARE ABLE TO SURVIVE PROPERLY WITHOUT EDUDUCATIONA. BY THE MEANS OF EDUCATION ONLY ONE'S POTENTIAL CAN BE USED TO MAXIMUN EXTENT.EDUCATION TELLS MEN HOW TO THINK,HOW TO WORK PROPERLY,HOW TO ÍNNOVATE, PROPEL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND TO ALLEVIATE EXTREME POVERTY.
IF THE SO CALLED EDUCATED IN GHANA AND AFRICA AS A WHOLE ARE BEING EDUCATED , MERELY TO ACHIEVE DISTINCTION, TO GET A BETTER JOB,TO BE MORE EFFICIENT,TO HAVE WIDER DOMINATION OVER OHERS,THEN OUR LIVES WILL CONTINUE TO BE SHALLOW AND EMPTY .
UNLESS THERE IS A PRESSURE ON THE SO CALLED EDUCATED IN GHANA AND AFRICA TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN THEIR AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ASK THE GOVRNMENT TO PROVIDE EVERYTHING FOR FREE TO THEM.
THIS INDEED IS TOTALLY WRONG AND WRONG.INDUSTRILIZED NATIONS WERE NOT BUILT ON SUCH A PRIMITIVE FOUNDATION, BUT, ON THE TOIL,SWEAT AND HRDWORK OF THEIR EDUCATED PEOPLE.
THE EDUCATED WERE BEHIND THE MAD COUP OF THE ARMED CRIMINALS IN MILLITATRY UNFORMS THAT OVERTHREW THE LEGITIMATE GOVERNMEN OF THE CPP UNDER THE LESDERSHIP OF DR KWAME NKRUMAH IN 1966.
PAYIN PROFESSOR, SIMPLY AS THOSE WHO ARE STILL LIVING AND THEIR CHILDREN, WHAT HAVE BEEN THEIR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTRY FOR THE PAST FORTY NINE YEARS AFTER THE COUP IN 1966.
IT HAS ALL BEEN MANIPULATION,BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION, EMBEZZLEMENT,FRAUD, STEALING AND LOOTING OF STATE PROPERTIES.
IF WE WERE NOT TO HAVE HAD THE HARDWORKING ILLITERATE COCOA FARMERS ON THEIR SWEAT THE NATIONS EARNS ITS FOREIGN EXCHANGE HOW COULD WE HAVE BEEN IN THE POSITION TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS, IMPORTSTION OF PROUCTS AND FOOD ITEMS TO FEED THE GROWING POPULATION.
ARE WE NOT USELESS, HOPELESS, DISGRACEFUL AND SHAMEFUL PEOPLE ON EARTH
