You are right, Kay. After milking Oboasi gold mines dry, he decided to set up businesses in South Africa and Nigeria rather than investing in the town which made him who he is. He hasn't seen anything yet.

Somebody should tell this centenarian crook that the current administration may not intervene for him because Mahama was in Nigeria to accept an award not long ago.

Nigerians aren't only destroying Ghana for Ghanaians but they are also taking advantage of Ghanaians in Nigeria.

This is why we need a no-nonsense person as a president. You play nice with Nigerians at your own peril.

APRAKU, Sam Jonah has many investments in Ghana wae......Or you think he must invest in Ghana only?

Remember, JJ Rawlings confiscated the businesses of many Ghanaian tycoons. So it is wise to invest in more than one country if you do have the means.
I believe Dangote has businesses and financial interests in Ghana....and so are many other NON-GHANAIAN natives.

Yes ooooo the man dey cry maamaamaa. Instead finding ways of consolidating his businesses he’s just following Mahama and doing praise singing. At his age some of his comments are very very troubling. After what you did in Obuasi you don’t have the moral right to criticize so enviously. Your tenure at Ashanti Goldfields destroyed the company. Just shut up. Nigerians will screw you rough. Tomorrow too cheat your own compatriots and put the loot in Naija. Wicked Man !!!!!!!!

Instead of investing in your own country so that your compatriots benefits from your ill-gotten wealth from Ashanti Goldfiels, you decided to invest in Nigeria to hide your wealth. Nigerians unlike Ghanaians are smart crooks. Even their President is a smart crook . His Alpha Beta company ripped off the Lagos State of more than 5 billion dollars.
Next time, brother Sam, invest in Ghana for our mutual benefits.
