    The next person who'll be visiting Akufo-Addo at his Jubilee House in Nima will be Nana Konadu Rawlings, right after the elections in 2016, to console Akufo-Addo on his third defeat, as she did in the last election.

  • KANAWU 9 years ago

    NANA IS A MAN OF VISION. INDUSTRIALIZATION SHOULD BE THE KEY TO AFRICA'S SUCCESS AND THE USE OF OUR VAST RESOURCES. THE MOTTO SHOULD BE: "WE SHOULD PROCESS OUR MATERIALS HERE!"

    KANAWU WHERE IS NANA GOING TO GET THE FUNDS FOR THAT? SINCE N D C WILL LEAVE NOTHING IN THE NATIONAL COFFERS BY 2016.

  • HONESTY 9 years ago

    KANAWU is too damn to understand or answer such questions. The JSS system has left a lot of uneducated, unintelligent, unimaginative young lots in Ghana. What a legacy from Rawlings/IMF. Sad.
