Akoa Yi Agyimi. Ah Ah . Ghana paa.
A whole Minister will come out to say this and will still be at Post ? Ghana will never get well until the next 4 generation to come, may be.
If there is a truth that needs to be told about Russia's criminal activities, that truth must be hidden according to you idiots, right. A bunch of mindless communists
Another idiot! Take your medication!
You must be a very foolish idiot. What at all has become of some Ghanaians? Where in the civilised world will a CEO of a major national asset make such a reckless statement without evidence and still be at post? That incompet ...

a public servant AND a former regional minister as well.
I keep re-reading the story and wonder why he was allowed to make these statements which extend way above his pay grade.
This is a fat lie. Shameful CEO. BF and Niger are not exporting cocoa. Your job is to prevent galamsey and not diversion of the huge failure at controlling our waterways. Tomorrow this chap will says it’s the Russians who a ...

This is an accusation without basis. Cocoa is not only produced by Ghana but also several south American countries who trade with Russia.
You need people to be more responsible with their commentary as this could spark a d ...

Russian Govt is not responsible for anything. Ghana is paying less to these farmers, who have decided to go for a better offer elsewhere..
Is the minister aware of an Economic block call BRICS?Is he aware of the meaning of B & R in the acronym?The B stands for Brazil and R for Russia,the former produces a lot of cocoa so if Russia wants cocoa they would go to Br ...

Since when did Niger and Burkina Faso started exporting cocoa?
What bad did Russia do? Shame on you!
Mumu pro max, what bad name did Russia created on their own, you watch too much American Movies, CNN and BBC, you are so shallow and wallowing in illusion, Ga man paaa why you fool like that
Increase the cocoa price and stop the nonsense Mr man.
The minister is definitely smoking something strange
Stop giving farmers over inflated subsidies and pay competitive market prices for the cocoa. You wouldn’t have to spend millions on military and police to stop cocoa smuggling. You would have over supply to mop up at all t ...

See another America agent, your agenda will fail big time
Stupid fool. How can Wagner operate out of Ivory Coast . Ignorant idiots in power. Now we have to live with 4yrs of another clueless idiot.
Did the man mention that Wagner operates from Ivory Coast? No wonder NDC people are just so dumb
Fools who delude themselves that they can read and comprehend. All our cocoa goes through ivory coast and the minister knows that. How much cocoa can you airlift. Stop galamsey otherwise the NDC will be in power soon.
Maybe he has forgotten that farmers are cutting their cocoa trees for gallamsey.
yea blame the russians for your faulures and your incompetense- idiots at the helm in GH. Sorry- blame mahama too, 7+ years on-FOOLS

And while you are at it, tell your party to stop it's apparatchiks who destroy cocoa farms for galamsay
don't bring this nonsense up ooh.
Useless government with big mouths to talk nonsense
Give the farmers good price. They will not smuggle them to Ivory Coast. I will smuggle it to neighboring countries for a good price. Pay the farmers good to stop smuggling. This is very simple understanding. Why blaming Russi ...

Russia responsible for cocoa smuggling in Ghana? No wonder he belongs to the NPP.-mouthpieces and proxies of the imperialist West.
Galamsey will destroy all the cocoa farms in Ghana. NO MORE EXPORTATION OF COCOA. CEO WILL loose his job. Useless leaders who don't use their brains. Galamsey is destroying everything in the country including waters, farms, l ...

bloody fool.
Now is Russia cocoa war not Russia ukraine war ..
I will bet the CEO that Ghana is losing more of its cocoa from Galamsey than from smuggling across the borders. The NPP always finding someone to blame - Covid, Russia-Ukraine war, Russia-Wagner Group.
Most of Bono Stopped producing Cocoa and opted for cashew which pays better
These fools are our leaders???
1. Cocoa pricing is high at the international market but you buy it at very low prices in Ghana and give stupid excuses for it.
2. You have allowed galamseyers to destroy cocoa and now blaming Rusia who can easily get coco ...

What about GALAMSEY?
NADAA has a team of like-minded corrupt individuals like this guy. Smuggling if true, is good for the farmer. It only happens when there is a big disparity in prices in the same region. Now, if this is t ...

The government is hard up with physical cash to buy the cocoa from the farmers and the only option is to smuggle and pay their workers too.
NOW PUSHING THE BLAME ON RUSSIA NOT WONTUMI AND AKUFO ADDO AND ILLETERATE WONTUMI
OK PUTIN IS HEARING YOUR LIES
HE WILL SOON DEAL WITH YOU SHIT HOLE COUNTRY CALLED GHANA
I understand why cocobod is in trouble. The CEO is a big failure. Take responsibility of your failure and stop the blaming games.
How could this man make such unsubstantiated accusation against a major power of the world? These nincompoops just want to take sides in the global tug of war. Wagner is not the Russian government. Above all, Russia has indic ...

Another fool is talking about me Putin from Ghana.The most stupid man in Africa is this Cocoboard CEO.Increase the price to Gh6000 per bag now. You need to listen since your head is just a loaf on you.
It means Russia is paying more for COCOA right?
Are they also smuggling TOMATOES to RUSSIA?
I heard PUTIN eats OKRO and pepper too
Tell him to contact me at jubilee house
Massa what you are saying is correct. Some of our "leaders" have lost their minds and they have lost their way and that is why they are making such wild and foolish accusations. With ministers like that Ghana does not need en ...
