Rawlings swooped in and leveled our factories—every last one. And somehow, people crowned him “Junior Jesus.” Please—more like Jealous Jackass. Kowus? Gone. Boakye Mattress? Gone. Tata? Gone. Textiles? Reduced to rags. That “savior” left us chains, not change. And now the party he birthed dares to promise revival? What a comedy special. They can’t even solve the mystery of who unalived their only decent leader—yet they want us to trust them with an economy? Spare us.

Jesus Christ loves you and wants to save you from sin and its consequences. Vanity upon vanity—everything in this world is meaningless without Him. He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in Him, accept His gift of forgiveness, and receive eternal life! (John 3:16).h

Business men/women gain more in foreign import than engaging in local production .Our govts shd look at reversing it. Eastern Europe is good at consuming what they produce locally, why can't we copy them?

Why not ? Local goods are more expensive than ones that are imported from thousands of miles away even with duty . The tariffs on the local companies are the problem

To tell you the truth most of these imported foods are not healthy for us. Someone suggested Keta school boys Sardines and I think it's very nutritious .I used to eat some with baked beans when in Europe.

Government will never learn. The arrogance and lack of understanding of running industries in Ghana is the cause. Laws are passed without any thinking about the impact to industry. The people who pass the useless laws have no idea about running an industry. The end result is you want local industries to move fast whilst the hand brakes are on and the road is full of potholes created by people and enforced by people who only know how to slow things down and cause problems for industries.

Understand the difference between talk and political rhetoric versus actual policy and implementation on the ground. Wake up and ask yourself why importation is booming and local production is collapsing.

Who are u blaming and complaining too? U the rich , politicians are responsible for this happening now. U won't allow small scale business to thrive and grow. U are the same people importing all these essential goods. U people import fish, poultry, tomatoes, spices and so on. And u call it competition. Who are u competing with???? U buy and rent all the stores even thoughu have no need for it , buy all farming land for estates but u want food? One minister or mp or rich man has 10 cars polluting our roads . Why? One person buys 270 houses rotting away and he can't rent them out because the rent is expensive for the average Ghanaian . U dont know how to share wealth to make life easy for everyone in ghana. Look at Qatar, Saudi Arabia. , the wealth has reached everyone and the average person is okay. Greed and wickedness. Dishonest society and evil people. I people can give tax free for 5 years for foreign companies but cannot do same for a Ghanaian company?

Ghana can rise again. We can revive these industries with private participation. Generally state owned industries do not perform well because of " it is for the government ' syndrome. I believe in public private partnership. Ghanaians should please invest in these state owned institutions so we revive our industries. Thank you.
