Some people want to ignore the fact that our nation overwhelmingly voted for change and not for a continuation of the old values but different criminals . They deny the the people wanted a total halt and u turn from the further islamisation , retrogression , primitiveness and irresponsible selfish corruption of our leaders so wish to seriously disappoint us with their stupidity. Some deputy minister came and told our people to stop whining and didn't even get sacked because that is the general attitude or mindset of our ruling elite who think the people are there to serve him and his cronies to get rich and not he to serve the interests of the people . We see they do everything not to ensure the well-being of our people but cause distress , frustration , poverty , despair and systematically erase all positive potentials in favor of toxic situations and problems that will take 50 years or more to rectify. Another air-brained idiot minister comes out with glee to announce who are investors are so we get Turkey , China , Russia , Brasil , UAE but none with the ability to make available new technology or future markets we desire or are worth competing in.One the basic rules to industrialization is the acquisition of technologies in the form of sustainable profitable businesses and when that is done the desirable capital follows , thats what even China Japan or Germany did. They pay lip service to our desire for jobs and industrialization but when it comes to actually doing something they have their arms stretched. For example our IGP came out to say the police are poorly equipped yet we know there are several proposals to set up a pistol making factory , produce our own explosives /gun powder , uniforms etc from mainly christian democracies in Europe and the USA but all these are ignored because the diaspora promoters will not or cant afford to bribe our politicians so our police die in absurd stupid situations like what happened at Lapaz. Yes we are aware of over 50,000 in words fifty thousand proposals , ideas , factories , processing plants that our industrious Akan and the diaspora have developed over the past 150 years but what happens . The concepts or ideas are stolen , watered down and offered to Chinese and whatever toxic capital is out there and the promoters /developers killed , marginalized or in some other way destroyed so we get eventually half baked , incomplete white elephant projects like VALCO and such. Our self centered leaders and their arrogant political appointees are so sell indulged they fail to take heed to the world trends and secure a better future . Another example of an easy 3 million jobs we throw away because we refuse to think strategically is in tourism , instead of organizing that almost every household has one tourist standardized room and mobilizing our diaspora to encourage and support our tourism we choose to litter our landscape with edifices and buildings of terror/ fear , mosques. All Islamic countries or fake secular states are now loosing billions and instead of us capitalizing on this we alienate ourselves from the 15 to 30 billion dollars we could make per year by accepting all year round up 10 million christian tourists and continue to approve building of mosques even in police stations . I will elaborate over the next few months why we will not achieve within the next 15 years a robust economy of 500 billion dollars GDP even though its doable. We should seriously consider going to war to attain true freedom for our Akan people as there seems to be no peaceful way with this corrupt political oligarchy of fools .

Ghana was making money from cocoa export when Kwame Nkrumah became the Leader of Government Affairs in 1951 to 1966.Ghana was the leading Producer of cocoa in the world and the commodity price was higer.
Today,Ghana is the second world Producer of cocoa,we have been here for a very long time.
I think Ghana must try to regain its leading position not only by producing cocoa beans but try to transform them into finished products.The money Kwame Nkrumah used to build Ghana was from cocoa and we can do that again instead of always going to borrow money for Nothing.We need to learn the technical know-how to manufacture machines,that must be the starting point.It's not difficult to train more students in science and technology.The other area is to train artisans up to Professional standards.Always the highly qualified worker performs better,improves productivity and quality.I think if we are able to do so it will be great.Thank you.

Boy, I agree with you but, don't you think that we have learnt this technical thing for far too long in someone else's lingo to have been able to do all that you've pointed out??

So, why on earth are we still where we are? We can't create anything technically, to aid us in our development................

However, Apostle Sarfo has achieved more and done more technically in his OWN LINGO than the entire KNUST, which was set up years and years ago.

So, don't we AFRICAN HUMANS realize that, we cannot discard OUR GOD-GIVEN LINGOS and adopt our EN-SLAVERS' lingos...........and expect to be like them? It will NEVER happen. You cannot nuture your plants with kerosene and expect them to bear fruits....NEVER!

We will and forever teach Science and Technology in our schools for as long as it takes........we will remain the same. We have totally lost the plot in Ghana, let alone Africa.

LINGO is power to the spirit mind...........think about it!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

, 5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of G300.84 you can contact Blacksun or WhatsApp me+233547122212)

WHY DOES KUFFOUR REFER ALWAYS TO AFRICAN LEADERSHIP.

WHAT DID HE DO FOR GHANA. DIDN'T HE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THE BUILD THE PUBLIC SECTOR IN HIS EIGHT YEARS OF ADMINISTRATION AS HEAD OF STATE IN GHANA.

ITS VERY SHAMEFUL FOR HIM TO REFER TO THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA.

THIS A MAN WHO STUDIED MEDICINE IN ENGLAND,AND CAME HOME IMEEDIATLY AFTER MALAYSIAS INDEPNDENCE IN AUGUST 1957,TO LAUNCH A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION IN HIS COUNTRY,ON HOW HIS FELLOW EDUCATED CITIZENS CAN USE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO CREATE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN MALAYSIA.

BEFORE HIS RETURN FROM HIS STUDIES IN ENGLAND, MALAYSIA HAD ONLY ONE VOCATIONAL AND ONE UNIVERSITY.

ON HIS RETURN, HE WORKED VERY HARD TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL INSTUTIONS AND THE CREATION OF UNIVERSITIES IN THE COUNTRY.

MANY OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THEIR STUDIES ABROAD ECHOED HIS SCIENTIFIC INITIATIVES AND RETURNED HOME TO HELP HIM BUILD THE NATION.

TECHNOLOGICAL AND INNOVATIVE SKILLS AND TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW WERE FIRMLY CEMENTED AT ALL HIGHER INSTITUTIONS AND PRODUCED HIGHLY QUALIFIED GRADUTES TO MEET THE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INNOVATIVE CHALLENGES FACING THE COUNTRY.

SO WERE THE VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL SCHOOLS THAT PRODUCED HIGH QUALITY SKILLED WORKFORCE(ARTISANS AND TECHNICIANS)TO TURN THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION IN MALAYSIA.

THESE YOUNG SCIENTISTS BROKE THROUGH, AND TODAY, MALAYSIA IS COUNTED AS ONE OF THE ECONOMIC FORCE IN THE WORLD.

DIDN'T KUFFOUR AND HIS GIVERNMENT INVITE MALAYSIANS TO CMOE AND RUN THE GHANA TELECOMMUNICATION IN GHANA.

IT WAS THE SAME TECHNOLOGICAL AGENDA THE CPP UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DR KWAME NKRUMAH HAD FOR GHANA, LEADING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GHANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND INAUGURATED BY THE DUKE OF EDINBURG IN 1961

THE FOLLOWING BECAME A FORCE BEHIND THE GHANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES,THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF KWAME UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY,PROFESSOR DR BAFFOUR,DR YANNI EWUSIE, LITICIA OBENG,DR ALLOTEY, DR EMMANUAL MAMA BOYE,DR WILLI BOSU AND DR MENSAH DAPAAH, GHANA PHSYIC AND TRADTIONAL HEALING IN LARTEY, AKWAPIM.

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE ARMED CRIMINALS IN MILITARY UNIFORMS OVERTHREW THE LEGITIMATE GOVERNMNT OF THE CPP LED BY DR KWAME NKRUMAH,SUCH A SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTION WAS IMMEDIATLY ABANDONED EVEN TILL TODAY.

AND WHERE ARE WE NOW, GHANA HAS STILL COCOA BEANS AND RAW MATERALS EXPORT ECONOMY.

LEADING THE NATION TO TRAVEL ADDITIONAL BOUNDARIES T BEG FOR AID,DONATIONS, LOANS, CREDITS AND GRANTS TO SRRVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS AND DEBTS IN THE COUNTRY.

KUFFOUR WAS IN FORM THREE WHEN GHANA ATTAINED INDEPENDENCE AND HAS STILL FAILED TO KNOW, WHAT THE CPP WAS TRYING TO ACHIEVE FOR THE REBUBLIC OF GHANA IMMEDIATLY AFTER INDEPENDENCE.

TODAY THE FOUNDATION STONE THAT WAS LAID HAVE ALL BEEN DESTROYED BY THE THE SO CALLED PARTIES, NDC AND NPP, WHO HAVE NO POLITICAL HISTORY IN THE COUNTRY.

IN KUFOURS EIGHT YEARS OF ADMINSTRATION, HE ONLY CORRUPTED THE COUNTRY, ENTERED INTO FICTITIOUS AND DUBIOUS CONTRACT DEALS, GROUNDED THE GANANA AIRWAYS, VALCO, CRIPPLED THE GHANA RAILWAYS,USED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EARNED FOR THE NATION BY THE HARDWORKING COCCOA FARMERS TO IMPORT EXPENSIVE AND LUXURY CARS FIR MEERY MAKING,LOOTED STATE PROPERTIES AND SQUANDERED THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS.

CAN SUCH A MAN WHO AWARDED HIMSELF WITH THE ORDER OF VOLTA,AND WORKED OUT A FINE PENSION SCHEME WITH CHINNERY HESSE,FOUR MERCEDES BENZ, TWO BMWS,THREE TOYATA LAND CRUISERS AND ANNUAL MEDICAL TREATMENT IN ENGLAND,GERMANY AND USA, HAS STILL NO SHAME BUT TO CRITICISE AFRICAN LEADERSHIP.

LASTLY HE NEEDS TO KNOW,THE PUBLIC SECTOR STILL FUNCTIONS ON WHAT THE DEPARTING COLONIAL ADMINSTRATION LEFT BEHIND TO GHANA.

WAS KUFFOUR NOT THERE FOR EIGHT YEARS SS PRESIDENT OF GHANA,, WHY DID HE FAIL TO OVERHAUL THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND TO REFORM IT.

HYPOCRITE.

NKRUMAH MADE POVERTY ERADICATION LOOK SO EASY WITH HIS WORK & HAPPINESS POLICY. UNLIKE OUR NDC/NPP IMF & WORLD BANK LACKEYS, DADIESO ASONABA KWAME NKRUMAH WAS SELFLESS & PREFERRED FULL EMPLOYMENT TO A STRONGLY LIQUID ECONOMY. FROM 1951 TO 1961 IT
WORKED PERFECTLY MAKING GHANAIANS WEALTHIER THAN SOUTH KOREANS AT A CERTAIN POINT. HOWEVER IT WORRIED & ANGERED THE COUNTRIES THAT SIGNIFICANTLY DEPENDED ON AFRICAN RAW
MATERIALS FOR THEIR ECONOMIC SURVIVAL; ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WERE INCREASINGLY FOLLOWING NKRUMAH'S TUTELAGE AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS; SO THEY DRASTICALLY REDUCED THE PRICE OF COCOA AT A TIME WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION OF AKOSOMBO DAM, TEMA CITY & HARBOUR WAS IN FULL SWING!!! NKRUMAH THEREFORE HAD TO KOWTOW TO THE OUTRAGEOUS DEMANDS OF KAISER
ALUMINUM E.G. TO SELL OUR ELECTRICITY DIRT CHEAP & MORE PAINFULLY; TO CANCEL THE LOCAL REFINING OF BAUXITE INTO ALUMINUM.....STAY TUNED!!!

....BUT EVEN AFTER LOSING THIS HUGE JOB CREATING VERTICALLY INTEGRATED ALUMINUM INDUSTRY, GHANA STILL HAD
TO IMPORT LABOURERS FROM THEN UPPER VOLTA(BURKINA FASO), NORTHERN IVORY COAST, TOGO & EVEN FROM AS FAR AS NIGER & MALI!!! NKRUMAH WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE STATISTICAL FULL EMPLOYMENT LEVEL THROUGH A SOCIALIST "GHANA FIRST" POLICY E.G. IF A CONSTRUCTION WORK COULD BE DONE BY LOCAL WORKERS, NKRUMAH WOULD NOT PERMIT ANY SOLE SOURCING OR COMPETITIVE BIDDING BETWEEN OUR NATURALLY GREEDY & MORE OFTEN THAN NOT CORRUPT CAPITALIST CONTRACTORS. NKRUMAH WILL USE OUR OWN STATE HOUSING CORPORATION TO EMPLOY AS MANY WORKERS AS POSSIBLE TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT. SADLY UNDER NDC/NPP KLEPTOCRATIC DUOPOLY, ONE PARTY CRONY CAN MONOPOLIZE MANY CONTRACTS & WORKS AT THE SAME TIME, REDUCE LABOUR & ITS COSTS TO MAXIMIZE PROFITS. NKRUMAH PREFERRED MORE WORKERS TO MORE PROFITS BASED ON HIS MANTRA THAT PRODUCTION IS FOR CONSUMPTION BUT NOT FOR PROFIT!!! IF WITH 110 MINISTERS, HUNDREDS OF DCEs & OTHER APPOINTEES, KUFUOR & HIS PARTY CAN'T
EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE PUBLIC SECTOR, THEN GHANAIANS MUST THINK & VOTE BEYOND THIS DEVELOPMENTALLY STALE, STAGNANT & KLEPTOCRATIC NDC/NPP DUOPOLY!!!

Africa lacks leadership that can build public sector - Kufuor
