It has been reported that a reptile was pushed into the stomach of an Akyem in the Ashanti Region.
If you look at the back of the cedi note you would see the picture of the Big six; so called because they were prepared to die for Ghana to achieve independence for which they were imprisoned. Of the six 3 were Akyems and a fourth was married to an Akyem who became the first lady.
Why then do you hate Akyems?
J. B. Danquah stood for president and was not successful. William Ofori-Attah stood for president and was not successful. Akufo Addo who is half Akyem has his story unfinished.
Akyems make up more than half of the population of the Eastern Region. Today because of negative government developmental practices from independence some have become so proud that they can look at Akyems condescendingly.
Over the last 100 years revenue from the Akyem-Akwatia Diamond mine, alluvial gold, cocoa and palm oil from Akyem have been used to develop the whole of Ghana including providing scholarships for some Ghanaians.

Why do you spend your whole time on tribalism? I suspect you have not travelled outside Ghana before. Travel and see. Are you in a cave behind Abusco? Or maybe dog meat has given you rabbies. You are sick.

Genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) are a broad group of plants, animals, and bacteria that are engineered for a wide variety of applications ranging from agricultural production to scientific research. The types of potential hazards posed by GMO’s vary according to the type of organism being modified and its intended application. Most of the concern surrounding GMO’s relates to their potential for negative effects on the environment and human health. Because GMO’s that could directly effect human health are primarily products that can enter the human food supply... However, there are several types of potential health effects that could result from the insertion of a novel gene into an organism. Health effects of primary concern to safety assessors are production of new allergens, increased toxicity, decreased nutrition, and antibiotic resistance
...Food Allergy affects approximately 5% of children and 2% of adults in the U.S. and is a significant public health threat (Bakshi, 2003). Allergic reactions in humans occur when a normally harmless protein enters the body and stimulates an immune response (Bernstein et al., 2003). If the novel protein in a GM food comes from a source that is know to cause allergies in humans or a source that has never been consumed as human food, the concern that the protein could elicit an immune response in humans increases. Although no allergic reactions to GM food by consumers have been confirmed, in vitro evidence suggesting that some GM products could cause an allergic reaction has motivated biotechnology companies to discontinue their development (Bakshi, 2003)

Science is good, but when it is motivated purely for profit margins at the expense of nature and purity of genetic pool, then there is no point believing it. We don't need scientific proof before we tell our scientist not to re-engineer what is perfectly created for food by God. There is every reason why certain foods, plants and animals are found in certain places. Through science and out of ignorance we have moved species and plants across geographic stations, across oceans into new territories, completing altering species and environment interactions. There is a repercussion for altering the natural balance of life. The pest we see in our farms is not nature intended, but repercussion of our altering of the very concept species and place factor of natural order of things. So we have created another artificial problem and we scientist keep proposing artificial solutions, sometimes with insufficient information and a lot of unknowns. Solve the the food storage, food waste and food distribution challenges and we will not require GMOs to ensure food insecurity in Ghana. Whoever is in charge of the research of GMOs in Ghana should tell the truth. Besides how much information do the scientist have when it comes to re-engineering biological resources. Stop the cheap and easy way of doing things, and lets work with nature for nature to work with us and continue to support us.

Antibiotic resistance
In recent years health professionals have become alarmed by the increasing number of bacterial strains that are showing resistance to antibiotics. Bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics by creating antibiotic resistance genes through natural mutation. Biotechnologists use antibiotic resistance genes as selectable markers when inserting new genes into plants. In the early stages of the process scientists do not know if the target plant will incorporate the new gene into its genome. By attaching the desired gene to an antibiotic resistance gene the new GM plant can be tested by growing it in a solution containing the corresponding antibiotic. If the plant survives scientists know that it has taken up the antibiotic resistance gene along with the desired gene. There is concern that bacteria living in the guts of humans and animals could pick up an antibiotic resistance gene from a GM plant before the DNA becomes completely digested

Of course Dr. Alhassan can preach all these LIES; after who does he consult for? I can bet my bottom cedi that he "CONSULTS" for the GMO companies and USAID. He probably also benefited from the $75 mil. Obama gave to Atta-Mills at Camp David with the CEO's of the big GMO co's watching and applauding. Those CEO's probably later boasted "We've got those n--- now. All that we have to do now is to find a few Failed PhD's/politicians and for a few $$, make them sell out to us just as was done 500 years ago. These traitors parading as scientists don't want to answer the basic questions: 1. DOES GHANA NEED GREATER YIELDS OR JUST BETTER MANAGEMENT (harvesting, road network, processing facilities) OF OUR CURRENT YIELDS? 2. WILL GMO's SUDDENLY CREATE THE SAME NEEDED ROAD NETWORKS AND PROCESSING FACILITIES? 3. WHY ARE THE ADVANCED COUNTRIES, INCLUDING SOME COUNTIES IN THE USA, BANNING GMO'S?

It is dangerous when your kitchen is in someone's house. The danger that GMO foods present to society is that on the field they can affect their type of crop and modify them. After harvest the farmer can not plant his own crop and have to buy it from a seed breeder. Another concern is that will GMO foods not modify the human organ to digest them properly? And that is a big problem.

GMOs is absolutely not farmers friendly so please stop this talk about"scientific"advancement in agriculture.Developed countries have well researched system when it comes to agriculture but their own scientists can tell you that GMOs are not as safe as the agro businesses are telling developing countries like Ghana.If we allow these people with so called knowledge about the goodness of GMOs,Ghana will end up spending our scarce resources in fighting against crop diseases that will be resistant to all known agro chemicals and guess what,the same agro businesses will be selling those chemicals to us at cut throat prices.Besides,our farmers will be legally bound to buy seeds only from the same agro businesses.This is not politics,it is reality,so lets be very careful.Even in the US it is common knowledge that Genetically Modified produce are avoided as much as possible.Remember this affects all Ghanaians,not NDC,NPP,CPP,OR PPP.Lets think twice before we add yet another insoluble problem to our already insoluble problems.
