    Obviously the writer of this silly, incoherent and disjointed article has no brains to depend on. If he did, he would have known that such arrant nonsense is not worthy ...

    The world has enough for everyone's need but not everyone's greed. A just world on planet earth; that is the relief everyone is yearning for.

    If capitalism is on most peoples lips then it is because 99% of the world popula ...

    ".... a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing" (Macbeth).

    The writer, in his desperate attempt to defend the principles of simple greed, throws around and decorates his article with heavy words like dialectics, economi ...

    Please brother Baidoo don't start this "can of worms" bogus battle again. Lambasting Nkrumahism is not the answer, when you and the other apologists of the concept of capitalism don't understand the philosophy & how it has ev ...

    Something even when deodorized is still something. Sometime ago the capitalists of the west told us that it was greed and undemocratic for the Chinese emperor and his subjects to refuse to buy and use opium. Thus the capitali ...

    Look at where China is now. Did they follow capitalism or socialism, or their own model?

    We Ghanaians can't work together becos of greed and being too known.

  • Philip Kobina Baidoo 8 years ago

    Hello Mr Ampadu,
    I believe you are trying to appeal to my sensibilities; yet, you use the word bogus to assess my effort. Though I know you restrained yourself to use this mild word, I don’t think you are serious with wha ...

    Back to your usual knack of deflecting what is being said. Please go back and reread what I said and try and respond to it. The gist of what I said was let's work together to create a Sustainable Ghana.

    Hello again Mr Ampadu, you are accusing me of missing your point; that is fair enough. If you follow my commentaries you would have known that I don’t respond to any windbag. I only respond to people whose contributions are ...

    Mr. Baidoo, I don't insult people I disagree with. I respect you, but I disagree with your take on capitalism & socialism.

  • Philip Kobina Baidoo 8 years ago

    In that case, what is the meaning of the word bogus you used in your first post? I am not worried if you characterise my work as bogus. But you don't apply such words and in the same breath solicit my cooperation. It doesn’ ...

    The problem with some badly 'educated' and therefore compromised Africans is that, they take after the cunning ways of our oppressors.

    They trick you into a false sense of comfort and friendship and then from out of the b ...

    I seriously doubt the intellectual adroitness of this writer, but in all fairness to him I do not think he is an economist, neither does he understands the subject nor studied it. He must be a very poor student if he studied ...

    The fact is if you are greedy you are
    for life.
    Such a crass statement can only come from a wastrel like Philip K Baidoo. What sort of life is Baidoo talking about? Was Cecil Rhodes Pro African lives when he set out annihil ...

    The writer is GREEDY because of his penchant for long and flowery words, and in the process of proving his point woefully defeated his own argument and perhaps ended up showing even he himself does not properly understand th ...
