  This is a good initiative by Ghana Cocoa Board. It would be good if the government owns state cocoa plantations as well. Like say, 10,000 hectares of cocoa in the Western Region.

  This project will do better if it is formalized and properly pckaged so as to attract graduates to take to farming either on full time or part time basis.

  IT IS A PITY, WE DO NOT STILL KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE IN THE 21st CENTURY.
  
  FIRST AND FOREMOST IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF A NATION IS INVESTMENT IN THE YOUTH TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY SKILLS IN MIDDLE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS(FARMER ARTISANS AND TECHNICIANS)VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL PROFESSIONAL IN THE MEHANICAL, ELECTRICAL,CARPENTRY,MASONRY,WELDING,
  PAINTING,BAKERY AND CATERING.
  
  WHEN SHALL WE STOP TO TREAT THE YOUTH AS COMMON LABOURES AND PEASANT FARMERS AND ONLY FOR THEM TO GROW COCOA, AND IN ORDER FOR THE NATION TO EARN ITS HARD CURRENCY TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS, WAGES AND SALARIES, IMPORTATION OF COMMODITIS AND FOOD ITEMS, EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS FOR USE BY NON PRODUCTIVE EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES FOR THEIR EASY LIFESTRYLES IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG. THIS AMOUNTS TO EXPLOITATION,CHEATING AND STEALING.
  
  THIS SHOULD BE AN ASSAULT ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE YOUTH AND THE LESS FORTUNATE AND THE DISADVANTAGED IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  ARE THEY NOT CITIZENS OF GHANA.
  
  IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR BETTER AND RATIONAL,FOR THE SO CALLED $74m BEING GIVEN TO SERIOUS,PRACTICAL PROFESSIONAL SKILL ENGINEEERS AND THOSE WITH ENTREPREUNIAL INTEREST TO INVEST IN MIDDLE LEVEL INDUSTRIES AND MANUFACTURING FIRMS,OR USED TO FIX THE ABANDONED FACTORIES WITH NEW PRODUCTION MACHINES TO TURN THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRILIZATION AS STARTED BY THE CPP GOVERNMMT FROM 1953-1966 ON THE LEADERHIP OF KWAME NKRUMAH.
  
  EXUSE ME TO ASK, ARE YOU SO CALLED POLICY MAKERS WITH DEGREES AND PHD TITLES OUT OF TOUCH ON HOW A NATION IS DEVELOPED.
  
  THE WORLD HAS CHANGED SINCE 1945, AND IT IS TIME YOU BECOME INNOVATORS.
  
  IN SUM,ONE CAN ONLY SEE AND BELIEVE, YOU FOLKS DO NOT HAVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO TRANSFORM THE NATION.
  
  WAS IT WORTH AT ALL FOR YOU NOISY PEOPLE TO HAVE BEEN EDUCATED AT ALL.
  
  YOU ARE THE ONES TO BE CHARGED TO GROW THE COCOA BECAUSE, YOU HAVE STILL NOT BEEN PRODUCTIVE IN THE COUNTRY TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
  
  ARE YOU NOT INDEED A DISGRACE TO THE NATION.
  
  EDUCATED FOR NOTHING.
  
  BEWARE F EASY MOMEY.

  PLEASE HOW LONG SHOULD THE COCOA FARMERS,UNSKILLED MINE WORKERS AND THE YOUTH CONTINUE TO BE THE ONLY BACKBONE OF GHANA'S ECONOMY.
  
  HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE SO CALLED EDUCATED WITH BIG DGREEES AND PHD TITLES TOWARDS THE INFRASTRUCURE,ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
  
  DO YOU WANT YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS ONLY TO CONTINUE TO GROW COCOA FOR THE NATION, WHILE THE MANY NOSY EDUCATED ONLY USE POLITICS AS PREOCCUPATION AND WHILE ABOUT AT THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES AS PROFESSORS AND LECTURERS AND AT THE PUBLIC SECTOR FOR PRODUCTIVE WORK.
  
  IS THIS NOT CHEATING, STEALING AND EXPLOITATION.
  
  OPAYIN OTAFREGYA, HOW DO WE THEN PROGRESS AND ADVANCE AND TO MAKE GHANA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
  
  SAD WITHOUT FURTHER WORDS.

  Hmmm Great news...
  Don't be dissapointed if you just jumped to read this post due to the caption. You see, that's what your over dependence on certificates instead of skills can do. A well packaged Samsung or Lebanese, Nigerian or other nationals or company cellphones support office would send out adverts like this caption, and young people would rush in applications in millions. But some, in fact many in that group have the capacity to learn and set up a similar outlet, making multiples of that same amount they expect to be paid! Why? 1. There, the company would give him an identity tag for his role that may not be tagged "phone repairer". So he feels 'cool' working there even for 50k. 2. He conditions his expectations to a guaranteed price tag at the end of the month. 3. I don't just know ...really But you can make your own money! Train hard, work simple and smart!
