Ghanaians abroad top list of Ghana?s income.

President Kuffour did not mince words when he stated that ?Perhaps, the most gratifying endorsement of Government's policies and programs is the remittances from our own Ghanaian kith and kin living in abroad." Remittances from abroad reached a record 2 billion dollars exceeding earnings from cocoa, the highest earner by 100%.

I believe the ignorant and adamant ones will now show some respect to Ghanaians abroad and consider their contributions with much seriousness and respect.

Its so sad to stomach comments like ?when you come down with those rubbish cars, etc. etc.?

Ghanaians abroad have not abandoned the country; they are indeed helping to rebuild it.

God bless Ghanaians in the disapora!
