    Uncle Kwesi Pratt sounds clueless about what BRICS is all about, he would do well to read more on the subject to be well informed.

    Ghanaians are horribly confused. Why do they want to antagonize the West. Do they now prefer licking the anus of the communist Chinese? DISASTER. Remember that the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know

  • Kwame 4 days ago

    @Kotima, how can Ghana antagonise the west when the west is also doing business with both China and Russia. Ignorance will kill you, wake up jor.

    I thought the foreign minister is smart or intelligent to consult with Ghanaians before joining BRICS. The questions Mr Kwasi Pratt asked are all good questions. But the most important question is whether the foreign minister ...

    Kwesi Pratt is right.
